New blog for World Radio Paris – feels good to be writing about tenants' rights again. This blog is for anyone making the leap to #Paris BUT also interesting for policy nerds who interested in comparing rental regulations here to those of other cities. worldradioparis.org/paris-apartm...

📸 Some snaps of the revelry tonight in Paris. There are several coinciding events across France in reaction to the death of Jean-Marie Le Pen. (1/2) #france #paris #photography #politics

Celebrations are kicking off at Place de la République in #paris following the death of far-right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen

Friendly reminder: Veganuary starts tomorrow! Vegans, drop your tips, meal ideas, favourite dishes, food pics, go-to accounts, documentaries, studies, or personal stories for anyone wanting to give it a try but doesn’t know where to begin.

Absolutely taking a leaf out of Ronnie Gilbert's book and bringing this energy into 2025.

Finally finished up this piece! Was listening to a lot of 70s prog rock while drawing it lol #art #landscape #artist #artsky

Picked up this gem at Walden Books in London. It covers Bergman's films up to 1975 when it was published. Also includes Bergman's own essay "Every Film Is My Last". #FilmSky #movies

Walked past a fox yesterday in the cemetery. Not sure what kind of omen this portends...

Paid homage to Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery today. Nice stopping to chat with others who were also making the pilgrimage.

Having a lovely time in windy London. Scrumptious vegan Sunday roast, saw some of my fave paintings at Tate Britain, found a book on film criticism for £5. Ideal day, really.

Imported some more articles onto my new website. Can't believe I wrote this almost 4.5 years ago before dark academia hit its peak. Interesting to go back and read the quotes about why it resonated with some of the early adopters. #indie #writer #darkacademia elizalourenco.com/2020/07/30/m...

Australia's whistleblower protection laws are a disgrace. Through David McBride's disclosures, the Brereton Inquiry found evidence of war crimes by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. Worthwhile learning about what David has been through and contributing if possible. chuffed.org/project/davi...

The older I get, the more likely it is that I will quit a bad series or movie mid-scene. Life’s too short to waste watching terrible tv.

Run, done. Coffee in hand. Bring it on scholarship application.

Hemingway summed up journalism when he said: "If you have made your living as a newspaperman, learning your trade, writing against deadlines, writing to make stuff timely rather than permanent, no one has any right to dig this stuff up and use it against the stuff you have written the best you can."

Really coming down to the wire on this one.

There are so many great alternatives to Pinterest that I'm only finding out about now. Was getting real sick of all those ads.

"blogger" is such an all time bitchy word lol

Work in progress - really enjoying the composition practice. Been looking at old environmentalist posters for inspiration.

I want to say with all my heart, throw away 'personal branding', FORGET being forced to find a niche. Let your projects, interests and ideas run wild and free.

Pinterest 2025 trend predictions are in... can't wait for a million more micro trends to come and go. Gonna be a big year for pickles and fishermen apparently.

Oh to be in the 90s, no smartphone, just listening to people ring up about their love lives on late night talk back radio.

Tomorrow, I start training for my first half-marathon. Fitness goal, yes. But I think I'm more excited to prove to myself that I have the mental strength.
