Sales of Sally Rooney books surge in Northern Ireland after publisher stops UK distribution irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/…

RT @DiscipleElland: BELFAST INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE WILL CONTINUE TO SELL SALLY ROONEY BOOKS. 🇵🇸 Belfast Independent Bookstore "No Alibi's"…

several independent bookshops in the North of Ireland including No Alibis in Belfast and Bridge Books (@BridgeBooksDro1) are continuing to source and sell Sally Rooney’s books because they stand on the right side of history and not with the regressive, authoritarian laws and legislation of the British state they are able to do this because the North has dual access to both UK and EU markets (thanks Brexit) and can order books through Irish distributors (Argosy etc) meaning that they are technically operating outside UK jurisdiction (any revenue made off Sally’s books in this case would be Irish revenue / sales) so hypothetically, if there was an owner of an independent bookshop in Britain who wants to put two fingers up to the British government and this ridiculous law, you could do what the bookshops here are doing and source Sally’s books through those same Irish distributors… just a thought… and sure if you’d like to tag your local bookshop below / share this post, and if they want or need advice or more clarity about this… I know a guy, that’s all I’m saying

Look forward to discussing my forthcoming book, 'Troubled Waters', and where things are re: Lough Neagh more generally, with Sam McBride and others as part of this event on Sunday. Tickets are still available and more info at the @SHHomePlace event link: seamusheaneyhome.com/event/a…

So many evil people in this world and we had to lose a pure heart like Dolly Parton. Devastating day for humanity.

I will certainly miss her laugher, jokes and her being. Rest well and in total peace my friend. My heart is heavy.

Patrick Radden Keefe, in his 2017 Profile of Anthony Bourdain, was—unknowingly—capturing a portrait of the chef near the end of his life. A little more than a year later, Bourdain was dead, at 61. On the page, however, he remains as vivid as ever. Read the Profile: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/cl…

A horrendous night ahead for some women. Domestic violence increases after football defeats. Please call 0808 2000 247 if you need help

Funny how everyone rushed to post Neymar and Ronaldo in tears, yet Salah didn’t get a single tribute. The disrespect towards one of football’s greatest icons is genuinely unbelievable.

My thoughts are with Lyra McKee’s family, Sara and all who loved her. Today’s verdicts will be deeply painful. We must continue to pursue truth, accountability and justice for Lyra.

I've written a book, building on years of research at Lough Neagh. At its core, Troubled Waters tells a story about place - the "cradle of our human existence on this land", as Bernadette McAliskey puts it in the book's foreword. You can preorder here 👇 irishacademicpress.ie/produc…

Huge surveillance corporations like Palantir can use AI to increasingly track and record every aspect of our lives. We cannot allow a handful of tech billionaires to destroy what remains of personal privacy in America.
