📘 Pulped Fiction.
A project by David Shrigley “who has produced a limited run of 1,250 copies of #GeorgeOrwell's dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' made entirely from the pulped remains of unwanted copies of 'The Da Vinci Code'.”

Liebe Grüße an jene, die dem #Trumpismus von CDU, FDP und Springer frönen...
I appreciate the many posts here on #ClimateChange. I grab onto any basis for hope in the midst of despair. I think it was #BillMcKibben whose recent column recommended #NotTooLate, co-edited by #RebeccaSolnit and #ThelmaYoungLutanatabua, now in my #ToBeReadPile. Solnit's #OrwellsRoses also led me to #GeorgeOrwell, and to this quotation this morning that I find encouraging somehow: "... our job is to make life worth living on this earth, which is the only earth we have." @bookstodon
#GeorgeOrwell, writing in 1944: "In any discussion of the price of books one must take two propositions as axiomatic. One is that the more the public reads -- provided that it is not reading sheer trash -- the better. The other is that it is undesirable that writers should starve to death. And it is important to realise that they would starve, or at least would have to find other means of support, if cheap books were the rule instead of the exception" ("Are Books Too Dear?") @bookstodon
Wo ich es heute schon von #LaGarde, #CDBC und #GeorgeOrwell hatte:
Die EU phantasiert über die Abschaffung von Reisepässen und will statt dessen ausschließlich Biometrie zur Identifizierung verwenden.
Das schöne daran: Jeder EU Bürger darf in einer Umfrage dazu seine Meinung kund tun. Ich hoffe viele von euch machen davon gebrauch.
Teilen hilft "Hätt ich das bloß gewusst!" zu vermeiden...
Always makes me laugh 😹

I've been meaning to read Animal Farm by George Orwell for a couple years and finally sat down and gave it the attention it deserved. Animal Farm is a book I think everyone should read at least once, because there are so many lessons in this book that are valuable and worth reflecting on as our world is rapidly changing.
See my review of Animal Farm here: https://thecozy.cat/blog/animal-farm-by-george-orwell-book-review

This statue of George Orwell is outside the BBC's Headquarters in London. Oh the irony!
