Listen,I get it,I was an HP kid too. That shit was my first hyperfixation,it took over my whole life.But you know what I did when I found out the creator was a TERFy pos?I stopped supporting it! Itβs that easy, trust me. The books really arenβt even that good. I promise youβll find something better.

A large group of activists of different ages, ethnicities and genders is grouped with banners and posters and flags for Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace in front of two huge banners that read Stop Rosebank and Not Faith In Fossil Fuels, with an overlaid text that reads Stop Rosebank x Lighthouse Blog & Books
The title of the blog in white letters on green reads: A win against oil giants: Stop Rosebank's court victory and next steps
βWe did it!β
Weβre immensely pleased to feature a guest blog from Jemima Elliott of the #StopRosebank campaign after their recent court victory, defeating the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in the courts.

Lighthouse | A win against oil giants: Stop Rosebank's court victory and next steps
In January, @stopcambo.bsky.social and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social defeated Rosebank in court.
This is a MASSIVE win for the climate movement.
For @lighthousebks.bsky.social (one of my fave bookshops!) I wrote about our win, what it means, & our next steps.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.
Sounds GREAT to me.
Buy independent.

Infrastructure projects should be spread across the country. I feel so much pressure to move to London. It feels like all the jobs are based there. But I don't want to live in London, I want to stay up North. Can we have better intra-North rail connections rather than another Heathrow runway?

A HUGE VICTORY FOR CLIMATE!
Thinking back to when I was sat at home sobbing at the news that the Jackdaw gas field has been approved, and the numbness I felt when Rosebank was approved. But now both projects are officially unlawful.
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN πππ

For those who might be unaware or just getting a library card: libraries are for more than just books! Many have a Library of Things with a variety of tools & equipment you can check out. Bike pumps, sewing machines, yard games, even power drills, for hobbies & home needs. #booksky
