At Haworth Parsonage there are badges with β€˜Team Branwell’ on, and it’s like why? Give me one single reason why.

They talk to each other too and look after each other. This blew my mind when I found this out

To all agents, presses, prizes and any other gatekeepers of creativity; if you are as inclusive as your EDI statement suggests, you need to make submissions anonymous. You don’t need a bio to tell you if you believe in the work. Lack of anonymity risks unconscious bias. See below for best practice

I’m maybe a bit too much me and could do with taking a bit of a step back

Will have a look at By the Ionian Sea, it’s quite well regarded I think. Jubilee I read and enjoyed a lot, especially as I know the areas he describes eg Camberwell πŸ–€

On her deathbed, to her husband, Charlotte BrontΓ« referring to God in saying β€œOh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us. We have been so happy.”

A lot of you are using "performative" to mean "as lip service" and the phrase lip service exists for that purpose.

I’m looking forward to having read them all and then circling back to The Italian and Udolpho, seeing what I think of them all in relation to each other. And very much looking forward to your expertise! πŸ–€

Ruby by Rosa Guy (1991) springs to mind although not sure if it has a HEA - haven’t read it in a long time

Oh yes I see. I find he doesn’t really provide solutions, much more true to life in that way, things go on and people just muddle through. Will check out the MLQ essay, thank you
