Starting tomorrow, we're auctioning off (almost) everything from Everything Everywhere All At Once, from Jobu's Elvis costume to Raccacoonie himself. 100% of proceeds to benefit Laundry Workers Center, Asian Mental Health Project, and @TransLawCenter.

In addition to this being an unethical approach to publishing, this isn't really about "protecting" children from 'inappropriate values', it's about repackaging Dahl so the books continue to make money for Puffin.
Rewritten Dahl is more cost-effective than selling new authors.

Tom Lehrer has put all his songs online (including lyrics & sheet music), and given away all rights to them. The site will only be up for a limited time. This is a very niche tweet that will make a small segment of people very happy. tomlehrersongs.com/
