I will be in #Milan and #Verona in February - as a music lover, what should I try and see/visit/hear?

Starting a new book by a favourite author at 11:20pm - what’s the worst that could happen?

Seems on brand… 🙄

Ear worm of the day: “The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat.” Just that phrase. Not even the full song…

Anyone know how/where to watch Kiss Me, Kate in the UK?

The Secret(s?) of Nimh 🥺

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Dog heartbeat video on YouTube has put my husband and both our dogs to sleep - peacefully enjoying my book and a coffee in the calmest atmosphere our house has seen in years 🤣🤣🤣

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

Late to the game but going to watch White Lotus - does each series stand alone? Do I jump in with Series 3 or would it be better to start from the first series?

I copied the wrong post, but HERE is more on the 3.5% figure: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

If you see this, post something pink

This is a phenomenal list of specific, actionable things you can do right now. Pick one and start there--I guarantee it will feel better than doing nothing. 👇

“Word of the week, Hatarakunai Ojiisan, a Japanese term meaning older men who don't work, used by younger employees to describe senior colleagues who contribute little.” 😏 From The World in Brief from @economist.com : 29 Mar 2025 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Share some of the best eyes in movies

It is still important to say when things are illegal, even if they don’t care about the law. It is still important to call out the limits of their power, even if they believe their power is boundless. You gain nothing by proclaiming your defeat at every turn.

Wee trip to London to see Hadestown tomorrow. Cannot wait to see & hear this amazing cast again!

Young women are sexual beings - by criticising Sabrina Carpenter or anyone else’s choreography, your message is that female sexual feelings are shameful and wrong. Please stop.

*NEW POST* As we move into March I'm thinking about International Women's Day - why it still matters and how we use it to move forward Full post on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/leahbroa...

Ultimately, dont forget about us. Next time you want to order a book online, consider buying it from an indie bookshop (it won't just be us having this problem!) And when you do, share that with other people. Reviews, posts, pictures. It all helps!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this project lately. Choral arrangement by Andrea Klouse. Choirantine MD: Tim Burns & video by Belle Maitai #virtualchoir #VoicesofChildren #Ukraine

I appreciated this article from CNN about Betsy Arakawa, and the person she was. “And pianist wife” is not how I’d want to be remembered. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/e...

I will always watch Pitch Perfect, The Princess Bride and Some Like it Hot

I visit my local library at least once a week - and not just for books. It has the loveliest Grand Piano which is regularly available to the public on “Come & Play” days. All ages and abilities are welcome, and a huge variety of music is played. A great way to spend an hour.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre

Eye-opening to realise I know more about strangers online and international news than I do about my actual neighbours and my local community.

What’s the real world equivalent of telling someone “I’m unfollowing you and here’s why…”

A brief thread about the logistics of streaming theatre, w/r/t The Light Chasers. During the run of this show, we livestreamed every performance from a single camera, center house. Audio was mostly directly from the soundboard, w/ a little room mic in the mix. 80 livestream passes were sold. 1/8

Jessica B Harris speaking to Andrew Limbong on @npr.org ‘a #BookoftheDay. I love what she says about a world without the improvisation of African Americans.

But also… If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see.

I wonder who is saying the iconic “I’ll have what she’s having” line this time around - would be amazing if it’s another relative of Rob Reiner. #whenharrymetsally

Wow. This is something

Interesting but sad observation when looking at my recent @thestorygraph.com reading journal - aside from what I’m currently reading, the last time I finished a book because I was enjoying it and wanted to was August/24 😕

#currentlyreading #howtosolveyourownmurder by @kristenperrin.bsky.social - pen & paper in hand to track character relationships across the timelines. Loving it! #booksky

Officially deactivated my account at the other place and spent an hour deleting any photos I had posted. App deleted too. #andbreathe 😮‍💨

Some of my favourite podcasts have gone from genuine conversations to listening to people who have something to promote or are on press junkets.

I've opened my Etsy shop for: 🌿botanical calendars to arrive in Jan 🐚a few of my limited edition art prints 🪶jewellery orders for🌲(UK only) 🌸vouchers for my jewellery designs(rest of world) My prints & calendars are designed using recent research to improve mental health: etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

Is there a word for one who gets all worked up over nothing and also buries there head in the sand? Because that’s me.

So much to think about in this conversation- worth a listen #podcast

Explaining to my followers why my posts aren’t that good

This was the first album I owned 😔

Interesting to see young people discouraged from using ChatGPT while employers roll out expensive bespoke ChatGPT training across organisations and encourage its adoption in the workplace. Surely it’s a skill to develop, as we did for word processing, spreadsheets & presentation software in the past

Listening to the Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast. Ira Glass’s answer to the question “Do you think about the legacy that you will leave behind?” is perfect.
