Hello @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social. My friend David has set up a new library from scratch at St Richard’s School in Hanworth. The opening is on Wednesday. I’d love to pass on a metaphorical wave from you, if can spare a moment. Thanks so much.

You MUST watch Ezra Collective at the BBC 6 music festival. It’s joyous, with a stage full of kids playing the drums and dancing www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis.... Femi Koleoso take a bow!

This week I’ve seen sohotheatre.com/events/or-wh... and also orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/chu....

Both are small venues, and I realise how much I prefer these (sometimes slightly shonky) places to larger, more glossy places. Two fab productions too

These short Satie compositions, originally designed as a practice piece for children, are part of the soundtrack to Joy, a rather lovely film.

Thank you @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social for expressing this so brilliantly.
Also, in the words of my sister, ‘I don’t think the proposed legislation goes nearly far enough because it won’t include those of us likely to suffer long, drawn-out, miserably mundane deaths, devoid of agency and dignity.1/2

I’m watching a rather beautiful film, Joy

I know it’s a different argument to the assisted dying debate, but it highlights a previous example of the establishment (of men) deciding what was right for women, rather than the women themselves.

Anyway. Fab music!

I didn’t meet Philippa Brewster. But I wish I had, thanks to this lovely piece by Jeanette Winterson. amp.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

Not sure what we saw at the The Soho Theatre last night. Natalie Palamides in Were. Her one wo/man show is brilliant. Very rude and very funny. Strong recommendation

Natalie Palamides: WEER - Soho Theatre
Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Natalie Palamides (Nate, Netflix) presents an achingly tender 90s rom-drom (romantic dramedy) which asks you to look at every argument from two sides.

The rabbit hole my discovery opened also revealed we have other organisations offering clean underwear and showers to desperate people. At another time this could be me.

I’ve been genuinely rocked to find we need/have charities supporting destitute asylum seekers, at a time when the likely leader of the Conservative party saw fit to make a reception centre for arriving children less welcoming. Such performative cruelty. Horrific
