Sunset in Manchester UK

@rebeccalongbailey.com Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. I urge you to push this government to publicly and strongly condemn this fascist uprising and stop licking at Trump’s feet

It's seven years today since we posted on Twitter that Sting had been in to return his books.

I think it’s terrible that he got shot. I think it’s good that he’s gone.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

The world if Trump is dead.

I've seen some people the last little while announce they aren't going to share their sexy weird art because 'now isn't the time' my friends, my loves, my beautiful creatures. Make art. Make art all the time. Be gross and weird and put it right out there in the world.

"For her actual beauty, it is said, was not in itself so remarkable that none could be compared with her... but the contact of her presence... the attraction of her person, joining with the charm of her conversation... all she said or did, was something bewitching." Plutarch, describing Cleopatra

If you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you are a marvel. If you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and solace of a book, that is a rare gift and I’m very glad to know you.

I swear to God, straight guys don’t even try anymore. I’ve counted 3 women walking along in little cocktail dresses, holding hands with guys that spend all their time in the gym, wearing jeans, sneakers, and a white T-shirt with some logo on it. The gay and lesbian couples look much better #pride

Students don’t need chromebooks and AI tutors, they need Shakespeare and Jane Austen and the Greek myths, they need the Arthurian Legends and the Arabian Nights, they need constant exposure to nature, fairytales, folklore, poetry and beauty.

“I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, dinosaurs, or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.” - Ray Bradbury

@shelbyjudge.bsky.social really enjoyed your seed talk/lecture in Manchester the other night. I thought it suggested why Bernini chose to make Medusa look anguished

This is gonna look nice on the medal rack 🤘 @manchesterhalf.bsky.social #MCRHalf

FUCK AI. Stop using it. It’s making you dumb, making the billionaires richer, and destroying the creative soul of humanity AND the planet.

Sandra’s seen a leprechaun, Eddie touched a troll, Laurie danced with witches once, Charlie found some goblins gold. Donald heard a mermaid sing, Susy spied an elf, But all the magic I have known I've had to make myself. -Shel Silverstein

On August 10, six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—will line up in an arc in the night sky, and four of them will be visible to the naked eye. Here’s everything you need to know to see the planetary alignment at its best.

Went to a 30th anniversary screening of #JaneAusten #SenseAndSensibility ☕️ “If a book is well written, I always find it too short”.

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Good 🤷‍♂️

*waking up* i’ve made a huge mistake

WHEN IS IT NOT SMALL BOATS WEEK THO?? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 When is it wealth inequality week, eh?? WHEN DOES THAT COME AROUND?

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy

Never feel guilty for trying to create something beautiful. If you are asked how you can think about art at a time like this, the answer is: Because it's a time like this. #art #beauty #musiciansonthetitanic

Don’t usually see storm fronts like this in the UK. Reminds me of Florida.
