‘You are living with a difficult person who is waiting to die’: my harrowing time as Patricia Highsmith’s assistant
The long read: I worked for the author of The Talented Mr Ripley in her final months. She was so mean and secretive, I imagined she wanted to kill me

In a letter drawn from a posthumous collection of correspondence, published in 2019, the neurologist Oliver Sacks argued that society had no immunity to the seductions of digital life. “What we are seeing—and bringing on ourselves—resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale,” he wrote.

I learned a new word today: dunkleflaute. Dunkelflaute, translated to "dark lull" in English, refers to a period of reduced wind and solar power generation, often coinciding with winter months and increased electricity demand.

A wide-ranging leading man who earned critical praise, he was known to be charismatic but unpredictable. At one point he dropped out of Hollywood for a decade.

First chapter in and I can ‘feel’ the neural pathways beginning to calm. A gently encouraging re-framing and taming for our whirling mind, with an interesting historical perspective. Perfect for this epoch, if you’re post loss and/or looking for reflection time. Thank you @brigidwd.bsky.social

Had an extremely “everyone on the bus clapped” moment in NYC. A busker was playing “every little thing is gonna be alright” and everyone on the platform started singing along. It was really surreal but also great.
