@bookstodon And this is the difference between here and the birdsite - or that site as it used to be before the takeover and its right-wing swing and the verminous cruelty that now infests it. In its good days - because of the vast number of people on that site, and their general kindness, and their variety - I could ask a question like this and someone would answer it before an hour was out #JackLondon #MartinEden
