Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. I spent yesterday in hospital as Nayirr needed two more transfusions. I wrote this poem while he lost himself in his iPad. I'm thinking of everyone going through it this holiday season, feeling suspended or unable to process joy xo

Highly recommend Cerys Hafana’s experimental/minimalist Welsh folk album. Animated by the myth of “an old man who goes for a walk in the forest and hears an angel singing so beautifully it makes him fall asleep for 350 years” ceryshafana.bandcamp.com/album/angel

‘consider not giving presents this holiday season’ 💀
British Library staff asked for a decent pay. Instead they got ‘a few money-saving present ideas’, such as ‘consider not giving presents this holiday season’. They are on strike this week. I wrote about it for @lrb.co.uk. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/de...

On Monday morning, more than a hundred people formed a picket line outside one of the entrances to the British Library...

I love this 5 second sequence from Rainbow Dance (1936), so I put it on a loop. Apologies to Len Lye.

Stoppard has died at 88.
The Brantley and Billington obituaries are the most notable so far; appreciative of the man and generously acknowledging their gradual reassessment of the philosophical and emotional content of his work.
Of which there is much more yet to be said.

Going to start a drama school for musical theatre/opera singers that only teaches the art of guffawing and breaking into song in tavern scenes. "A toast, gentlemen!" etc. The RADA of carousing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEEb...
