Very excited to talk to Marion Coutts about her new book, WHAT DID THE DEEP SEA SAY?, next Tuesday the 17th at Goldsmiths - pretty sure it's free, come one come all! goldsmithscca.art/event/what-d...
« Archives d’une enfance », la bouleversante exposition sur la famille de Georges Perec, exterminée parce que juive
"all these people are here for me and it’s not even my funeral, furthermore, at least ten of these people are not here under duress."
Thank you for your reporting on the SEND overhaul, @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social -- I'm wondering how all of this is going to affect children who can't attend any setting, who are currently on (or fighting to be on) EOTAS?
You absolutely fucking will be transporting my child by the end of the decade if he ever gets over how badly he was failed by the state school system to want to attend one again
…maybe if there were more provisions closer to home these kids wouldn’t need to be taxied to the school that ::can:: support their needs, I dunno?
Um i have a substack now don’t hate me it’s called Serious Ladies open.substack.com/pub/laurenel...
I didn’t even take Spanish but I know how to ask if there’s a party in the bathroom
Also Beck taught us a line that might come in handy for Megyn
Also Sesame Street taught us all to count to ten in espagnol
Among the weirder parts of that Megyn Kelly freak-out is her assertion that no non-Latinos in the US speak “a lick of Spanish” : literally every kid in my high school took Spanish (except for the snobs who took French, the masochists who took German, and the Italians who took Italian)
Oh my god. Has anything helped?
Does anyone else have autistic/ADHD/AuDHD kids who pick fights with you? Like do destructive stuff they know will drive you crazy on purpose? We are being absolutely terrorised in our own house.
(NB I am not looking for comments from neurotypical parents telling me all kids get up to shenanigans)
I used to have “Post No Bills” taped up over the kitchen sink 😆
Still not over all the Bad Bunny feels I don’t know about you
When you see a biographer write that "someone said xyz" about your subject, do you think:
a/ they're doing some anti-academic glossing by not writing out the someone's name or
b/ they don't know who said it, it's just something they've come across
c/ ?
I’m in this a bit walking and chatting in Montparnasse! Looking forward to watching the whole thing 👩🎨
And please don’t give any writer a notebook as a gift unless you know specifically which kind they prefer
I will no longer be ashamed to maintain what Benjamin called a “pedantic adherence to certain papers, pens, inks”
So I was given a notebook & it sat unused for years bc I only use graph paper Moleskines & I felt bad with it just sitting there so I decided to use it to take notes for this really challenging research-heavy book I have to write & I’m remembering all over again why I only use graph paper Moleskines
As if we needed more evidence that Bezos doesn’t give a fuck about books
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

…and that says a lot about why I’ve lived my whole adult life in Paris and London
I would rather live in a grey sunless clime than have a SAD light in my house
Someone recommended we buy a SAD light for our son; I looked at it online & thought “that looks like my worst nightmare” but I bought it anyway thinking theres no way it would actually be that bright in reality & it just came& honestly who are these people who like to stare at bright lights all day

Do we think I can write about the Stein siblings’ raging neurodiversity y/n
