Saw that NYRB Classics is releasing their edition of this Leonara Carrington novel in October. It’s long been out of print since first published in 1977.

Every single one of these is 24k gold

An incredible Private Passions on BBC Radio 3 today with @edithmayhall - stirring, moving, joyous. Keep your hankies to hand though; I teared up more than once 🥹

I'm weirdly on BBC Radio 3 twice today, at 1200 for my music choices in Private Passions; at 2000 introducing Emma Harding's fabulous new adaptation of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, contextualising it within a post-Brexit scenario Schttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ygt2

Never forget that Jacob Rees-Mogg said the victims of Grenfell Tower fire didn't use their common sense.

what if we gassed students
and manhandled professors

More footage of good people in Pakistan calling out German ambassador. At a conference about human rights in Pakistan where people have courage to speak out against state violence in Balochistan they connect the struggles and speak for Palestine. Germany enabled this genocide.

We're here 😄.

For the knowledge that the tide has turned yet not knowing
Which protest
Which gathering, which growing chorus
Will be the one which brings justice
For knowing the lonely voices are alone no more
That those who have refused to speak are now isolated themselves
That there is hope.
