#BobDylan #Leeds last night. Brilliant! Seats right hand side of the stage, bottom of the tiers; a privilege to see his fingers playing piano! Moved to be in the presence of such greatness. Busker outside Morrisons belting out Like a Rolling Stone to a huge crowd in pouring rain also pretty good!

Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

If it’s 6 June, it must be 193 years to the day since Jeremy Bentham died, stipulating in his will that his body should be preserved at University College London so he could be wheeled in to attend every council meeting. Well... except most of the stories about his remains aren’t true 🧵
