Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

@atarbuck.bsky.social you probably already know about this, but just in case you didn't.
Looking forward to chairing this with irrepressible duo Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi, whose company I love, & Steven Veerapen, whom I'm excited to meet. Their books are terrific and I'm sure it will be a lively event. Please come if you can: Sunday (Nov 9), 6pm, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

We @womenslibrary.bsky.social are so sad to hear of the death of Elspeth King, writer, activist, curator of the People's Palace who fought so hard to collect & preserve Glasgow's social and working class histories. Her book 'The Hidden History Of Glasgow's Women: The THENEW Factor' is so important.

Watching Babettes Feast. Again. Love it. But M Papin's behavior in the duet scene is shockingly handsy and essentially sexual assault. Don't blame Felipe for ending the lessons. Would still love to taste Cailles au Sarcophage.
