The LULU editions of @obversebooks's acclaimed @blackarchive book range now include the three latest releases, The Myth Makers by me, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy by @mrdalesmith and The Edge of Destruction by @0tralala. Accessible #DoctorWho scholarship without the word "Jabolite" or debates on how to spell it.
Also available as ebooks or in paperback direct from the publisher, but probably cheaper from Lulu if you're outside the UK.

@mrdalesmith I am very tired and have had a very long week. The fact I am pandering to you horrible people by trying to promote your books in any way should be good enough, frankly (and that goes for Potter too).

Loved @lewisbaston on The Sun Makers for @blackarchive. Not just jokes about Holmes versus the tax man! A deep excavation of toxic colonialism and corporations (which we live in the aftermath of) and consequences of revolutionary politics. Great addition to the range.
For those who prefer to buy from Amazon (and whom I to judge if you prefer to spend more on your books!), the latest two Black Archives - The Myth Makers by @ianzpotter and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy by @mrdalesmith - are now available there...

"Bailey originally saw Sanders through the prism of Vietnam, as someone in thrall to ‘the whole neo-colonial, paranoid, technology-fuelled, ignorant-blind insanity of that War’"

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.

You might have seen somebody using the proverb Vox Populi, Vox Dei. What was missing was the context in which it was used:
Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
In case you do not speak Latin, it means in English:
And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.
