Good art makes you feel. Great art makes you inflict it on all of your friends so you don't suffer alone.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! So modern-looking it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters 3,800 years ago! Known as Kamares Ware, these luxury ceramics were made in palace workshops. Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology 🏺

I’m going on a podcast today to talk about an Indigenous perspective on the so-called “Lost Colony” of Roanoke, the erasure of Indigenous presence in historical narratives, and John White’s watercolours of Carolina Algonquian life in the 1500s. More details soon!

This is always a good thing to promote, buying from indie presses helps keep a broad ecosystem of writing out there, a lot of small presses are one person affairs and they put so much love money time into them Got a blog for that www.indiepublishers.co.uk (not just UK) #IndiePressDay #Publishers

Sometimes I think life's greatest adventure/challenge is not being great but surviving being mid (thought of as mediocre and not worthy in more than one aspect of one's life). I think my spite fights against this on multiple levels daily but often I wonder if it's not enough. My body fails me.

Since I was having a mid-life crisis but also dressed very nicely, I decided to take myself on a nice little outing after work. Sit-down meal at a favourite spot. Did me a world of good.

Tokuzō Tanaka’s The Whale God is fucking incredible. A family of vengeful Ahabs, spurred on by whole villages of Ahabs, fall one-by-one in the tumultuous wake of a beast too brutal to be divine, too wrathful to be natural. Pitch back contrast, stark as hell filmmaking, near-naked men clamoring.

Probably the decisions I made caused my book to be less noticed but I wasn't going to spend money I didn't have to punt my book over to PW or Kirkus, nor did I think to send my book to various publications.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

It would be nice if people supported indie filmmakers more, but it would be even better if black women in film were supported and encouraged too. We have voices. We have stories. I’ll keep doing what I have to do to champion black women in film, but I could use support. igg.me/at/thewomanw...
