Once upon a time an American man wanted to build a golf course in Scotland because his mother was born there. He submitted the plans but was told no, because it would damage the special environment. But this man didn't like to be told no, so he promised great jobs and riches so

It's brilliant but it's brilliant because the banter FEELS like modern-day table banter of a fun, silly TTRPG group and also I firmly choose to believe the 'friend who plays a paladin who can only show up for one session a month' was an intentional vibe they chased.

If anyone needed an indication of the battle #fashionhistory is still fighting to establish its legitimate place in academic discourse! Ironically Sargent wanted to paint Ellen Terry BECAUSE of her amazing dress! so disappointing from @guardian - theguardian.com/artanddesign…
ALT A full length image of Terry's beetlewing dress, mounted with the 'heather coloured' cloak. Sargent reported exclaimed 'My God' when she swept on to the stage

Can anyone @guardian tell us why somebody who hates fashion was asked to review an exhibition about it? Sargent and Fashion review – tragicomic travesty is a frock horror theguardian.com/artanddesign…

THIS. I read motherf*king WIFEY when I was like 12. From 7th grade on, I EXCLUSIVELY read adult books. Anne Rice, Stephen King, Dean Koontz. It is just INSANE to me that this generation of parents apparently forgot that Kids Reading Wild-Ass Adult Books is a developmental stage.

Let's not act like we all weren't reading grandma's romance novels and Flowers In The Attic in middleschool, m'kay? This isn't new.

My only response to this is:
In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent

We've waited 38 years for this view! With the scaffolding fully removed from the Cathedral's East End, we can now admire the original beauty of the entire exterior as it would have looked in the 14th century after the Spire was added.

@SangitaMyska responds to a caller who called on more than 1.5 million Gazans to be displaced out of not only Rafa, but Gaza.
“What you're talking about is tantamount to ethnic cleansing”…

The way UK HE drops whole departments to reflect immediate (supposed) student demand is confirming that these are not research institutions. The transition to pure degree sales is complete and the immediate comparators are the US for-profits.

The images from Rafah are unbearable.
What is there left to say? Do our political leaders not see what we see? Is there really no limit to what Palestinians must endure?
Enough! Stop equivocating. Stop stalling. Stop hiding — and call for an immediate ceasefire, now.

every time i hear a baby or toddler scream in public, i just say "same" or "it be like that" and keep it pushing. I, too, wish I could scream at the top of my lungs at the slightest inconvenience.
