'...he remembered the first time they played music together. They were fifteen, and he was over at her house one day after school. He started playing Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold,” hoping she would join in on the harmony without his having to ask. She did.' newyorker.com/culture/person…

“…my father wanted to be a writer. But he lacked certain qualities: lacked the adamant need which makes it possible to endure every form of failure.”

I love Louise Glück’s poems. But her essays, too!

And this line. Bullseye.

I am seeing lots of news stories where the loved ones of the 7 aid workers are interviewed telling us who they were and why they didn’t deserve to be killed. They are humanised, their stories are told. It is very touching and I am glad this is being done.

7 done. 31,993 to go.

I am always drawn to Nick Cave's reflections on loss – & this moved me greatly. The idea that grief can alter your chemistry, can alter your experience of joy itself, is a profound observation that gently challenges the parameters of bereavement discourse: theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Hello chaps, this is a bit of a niche request but I have hit so many dead ends I thought this was worth a bash. Does anyone know how I can get in contact with the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City? I am finding it nigh on impossible...

Fans (and/or makers!) of up-and-coming music made in Wales – who are the artists or labels exciting you at the moment? Would be so grateful if you could RT and share this widely. Come on, algorithms, help us! Diolch xx

Three days into her grief. The courage of this woman:

Incredible bravery from Yulia Navalny addressing the conference hours after the death/killing of her husband who was an extraordinary symbol of humanity and the human spirit. #MSC2024

Such sadness, such anger, such courage

This is a very special piece by a very special woman. Oh ⁦Laura Barton⁩, beautiful beautiful words: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
