Reposted by Natalie Writes OnSiobhán McElduff @siobhanmcelduff.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I think people believe that if a book was widely used and printed in the past it survives in multiple copies, at least some of which will be stored in a library somewhere. But there are many things like school books that were widely printed on the 1700s and 1800s and of which we have no copies. 1130068

Natalie Writes On @nataliewriteson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Absolutely shameful that @change.org is allowing a racist petition on their website. The only reason to not want Mamdani at 9/11 memorial events is racism. The end. Full stop. No nuance. Allowing a petition based on bigotry is disgusting and abhorrent. 031
