Public service reminder: not all organising happens on social media. In fact, some organising can only happen off social media/by redirecting energies to offline & in person collaborations. Sometimes the activism churns below the surface.

We called for solidarity when Hungary's govt targeted bookshops over queer stock, & again when feminist bookshops were targeted in the UK, & we relied on solidarity when our own booksellers were harassed into closing: Book lovers must stand together against persecution of ALL book workers!

As disrupters and their hingers-on are driving mainstream agenda to extremes, a new movement of anti-disrupters is born. I think the war will be won in the trenches of cafes and other such cosy places by talking to friends and acquaintances. Most folk want to be human - and loved - after all.
