I have a gradually diminishing stack of these in the living room, and my girlfriend very much wants there to not be a stack of them in the living room, so if you were to purchase one it would contribute to domestic harmony.
Signed copies of The Mathematicians' Library? Yours for ยฃ25 (+ ยฃ5 p&p in the UK, unless you can pick it up from Milton Keynes!) A big, chunky hardback book with glossy pages and full-colour pictures throughout: a perfect gift for the slightly nerdy bookworm in your life!

Dadโs books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itโs their own fault. So I hope Kemiโs taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I think that's me done with X. Twitter was fun, but it died and I've built communities elsewhere whilst X dries up & shrivels. If anyone left here stumbles upon this & wonders what I'm up to, try this: https://t.co/bSGimMVhd1 It'd be great to connect in one of those spaces ๐

Quite the illustration of how things are going over here: I posted this in other places and got congratulations and kind words, but here... Nothing but tumbleweed.
In case anyone's still listening over here, I made a very cool announcement over there:
