The Good Immigrant is ten years old this year @canongatebooks has selected it for their iconic The Canons series. We’ll be announcing live dates shortly. I look forward to meeting readers old and new this Autumn to talk about rising fascism, rising racism and where we’ve come in the last ten years?

I released a comic called Mad Villain about a guy who has a midlife crisis and joins antifa. Tangible ways to combat fascists.Releasing independently is hard so any support, buying it, promoting it, shouting about it, reading it, would make all this worth it. www.nikesh-shukla.com/store

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

gov.uk

Immigration Enforcement raids at the highest level in UK history

Record number of arrests and raids of illegal workers across the UK including 187 raids in Northern Ireland leading to 234 arrests.

Was talking to a friend about how artists have spent years warning about the arrival of the current moment, and how he personally feels like making a shift towards creating work that can comfort and maybe galvanise people right now. No need to sound the alarm anymore - the dystopia is already here.

A typical reaction “but if the government bow to prisoners being held indefinitely without trial, then simply everyone will go on a 71 day hunger striker to the point of death to get what they want”

"Imminent Danger of Death"

Three Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike could now die at any time. One has been on hunger strike 5 days longer than Bobby Sands had when he died in a British jail in 1981.

I contributed to this on men's fiction. I didn't feel the need to repeat myself, that I don't think there's a crisis in men's fiction. Exciting stuff is getting published and this isn't an overcorrection. I shouted out teachers/librarians/MG&YA writers instead: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

I'm incredibly angry and disappointed by the news that Unbound won't be paying its authors the money it owes us. The Good Immigrant contributors are owed royalties from at least two years ago. I have more to say, and I do not speak on behalf of the contributors, but more to follow, soon.

Great stuff from Richard Flanagan. People in publishing who do fuck all to change the status quo are always the snidiest about stuff like this. Far too protective of their free books and shit red wine. Question to them: what are you willing to give up for change? www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

The best time to send a script off is immediately after you've saved to pdf. You are untouchable. The script is perfect. NO NOTES. Press send... await notes. start noting yourself... oh god. It's not perfect. It's the least perfect thing since marmite peanut butter, which should be perfect.

Read LOOT by Tania James recently and my word, what a novel. Historical, whimsical, funny, weird, obsessive and devastating stuff. Really heartily recommend it.
