This news only amplifies the importance of supporting local and Irish businesses. Your Irish retailer offers an alternative in most cases. The effort made during the pandemic to support Irish businesses who were at risk of closing, applies even more so now. #ShopLocal #ShopIrish

From buses to books, clear outs to classic finds - Thanks a million to Translink's Darren McCay of #FoyleBusStation #Derry who discovered a treasure trove of unused #Typewriter ribbon & donated to Little Acorns Bookstore for our upcoming #Typewriter Museum. I'm pinging! 📚💚

The author vote went against the Society of Authors condemning a genocide. Reminder that writers, poets, journalists have been killed. Libraries destroyed, books burned, schools and universities bombed.

But, nope, the authors voted against any solidarity or condemnation. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

With the sudden rush to address the failings of Stormont to *Deliver for Derry* should read this book.
