Of minor importance, the charity bookshop I volunteer at has decided not to stock works by JK Rowling. Several volunteers are non binary, and we have long had issues with her books: if we got in a valuable Harry Potter edition, it would go to auction, with all the money going to Scottish trans charities.

One of the volunteers objected to what he saw as censorship. He and I have had several arguments on various issues. So the best result is that he's resigned! Excellent. Yay!

Having raised that I volunteer at a bookshop and been surprised and encouraged by the affection shown for its actions here, it occurred to me that I should give them a shout-out.

It's the Edinburgh Community Bookshop in Leith. It supports a different local charity each month.

The bookshop isn't on Mastodon, but it is on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

But it does have a website I can share!
