Mary Burchell remains one of the most successful romance writers, ever. Over 110 Mills and Boon books to her name.
Less well known is that much of her early writing was done for one purpose:
Funding her efforts to get Jews out of Nazi Germany, with her sister.
Mary is a Righteous Gentile. /1 🧵

Exhibition to highlight Bristolians who profited from slavery
The exhibition aims to “correct the historical narrative by installing plaques at sites linked to the enslavement of African people”

a friend shared this essay on the decontextualization of communist and anti-fascist monuments for the sake of clickbait, and I think it’s incredibly important. if you’ve ever shared images of the various Spomeniks in Yugoslavia, this is a must read:

Concrete clickbait: next time you share a spomenik photo, think about what it means
Photos of Yugoslav monuments known as spomeniks are often shared online, exoticised and wrenched from context. But now, argues Owen Hatherley, it is…

I have resisted being a dick about this here but alt text is so important. Me, I don’t really need it though my eyesight is slowly getting worse. Handwriting mind, knowing how awful mine is, I wouldn’t subject anyone to.

Just rearranged the apps on my screen to put twatter further away and bsky closer to home. Already feeling better. Hi Alex! Love paper cuts btw.
I’ve been here and more or less off Twitter (I log in twice a week to retweet my podcast links, then log out again) since late last year. I think it’s genuinely improved my mood and mental health. The thought of going back to Twitter now is roughly as tempting as sticking my hand in the toaster.
Having been off the hellsite for a few days, it’s already made a big difference to my underlying wellbeing to not have a direct window into abject doom & the very worst of humanity, just when I want to check in on what’s happening.
