Sunlight floods the room from the bay window, reflects off the wide, honey colored floorboards, & casts an emerald glow over the perfect leaves of a monstera shaped like a cloud. It stems brush the back of a Scandinavian armchair. —Perfection —Vincenzo Latronico #voiceless #narrative #creatives

A favorite image of mine from @blu-dot.bsky.social took me back to Bruegel's 'Hunters in the Snow'. What mood does the image evoke here? Is it joyful? How does that mood change as you look closer? Where does your eye go? How does it travel through the photograph? #landscape #imagination #color

A wonderful production and now a fitting homage to the recently dead Tom Stoppard...His brilliant play, with the seemingly simple conceit of everything that's going on with Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern off stage, while Hamlet goes on in the 'real world'. #TomStoppard #Words youtu.be/yMVS7kjyoSQ?...

He stood outside the gates of Tegel Penitentiary, a free man. Only yesterday, he had been on the allotments with the others, hoeing potatoes in his convict stripes, and now he was wearing his summer duster, and they were hoeing and he was free. — Berlin Alexanderplatz — Alfred Döblin #GeorgeGrosz

Lay your sleeping head, my love, Human on my faithless arm; Time and fevers burn away Individual beauty from thoughtful children, and the grave Proves the child ephemeral: but in my arms till break of day Let the living creature lie, mortal, guilty, but to me The entirely beautiful. —W.H. Auden

We lived here, my mum, dad, & me, from 1958, the year I was born, until 1970 when I was 11. My mum was proud of the fact that we lived in an end-terrace house & so we're effectively in an unusually extended semi-detached. Even without that enhancing increment of status, it was a glamorous terrace.

In our small town, local businesses do their best to help out the unhoused. U can receive a full meal & drink from a sandwich shop & it's fresh, you simply have to request it. Understandably, known well & well known in the unhoused community. A haven in a heartless world. #Unhoused #Poverty #SeeMe
