Since becoming a parent of a school-aged child, this definitely feels more and more like the bad place. How will this help anyone?

I love living in Sussex, but I do feel homesick for America, even with all of its (enormous/scary) problems. Spent morning listening to NPR between writing feedback for workshop tomorrow, & making minestrone. Love hearing the weather report from my hometown, thinking about everyone still sleeping.

What?!? Filmmaker Mira Nair is the new NYC mayor's mom? Like Monsoon Wedding, Mississippi Masala Mira Nair?? I already liked this situation but... wow. She is the ultimate babe. It all makes sense.

I love that the Bluesky community exists and can help with things like this in the absence of the little blue bird site, which I sometimes miss.
(taken care of now, thank you!)

Can anyone access either of these sources for me? Looking to get the Intros as PDFs.

It was such an EXCELLENT day. Trains, coffees, manuscripts reading room, snake weights. FIVE STARS.
I am visiting the BL tomorrow for RESEARCH & to look at a MANUSCRIPT. After a year of maternity leave, then taking time to start a new business, this feels EXCITING (& worthy of caps).
Can anyone advise on the situation for ordering books/MS in reading rooms? Last visit, it was still paper slips.

Thinking this morning about the importance of writing, reading, creative practice. Not only do the stories we tell have political power, writing allows us to reconnect with parts of ourselves and subverts the noise we've all gotten so used to.
Wishing everyone a quiet moment this weekend.

As the new academic year starts here in Cambridge, my thoughts turn towards libraries... I wrote about the extraordinary Mary Paley Marshall, who co-founded the Marshall Library of Economics in 1925, and worked there until her 90s.

The world feels heavy. I am wading back to myself after a month of nursery and reception settling. BUT, there are archival visits on the horizon. There are still little stories to be told.
Please tell me: what things are you looking forward to this autumn?

This makes me think of Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, when the travellers end up trapped in a mansion in West London with angry protestors outside. Unfortunately, these asylum seekers don't have a magical door they can slip through to escape this hostility (so wish they did).

My favourite thing to do with my young children is go to the library. It follows that when travelling we would do the same. Hence, my babies spent the afternoon in the Oval at the Bibliotheque Nationale, reading and napping and occasionally screeching.

At least the author of this 18th c poem on insomnia didn't have to contend with doomscrolling (or Coldplay).

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!
