same!!
love these, in all of their melting weirdness!!
For today’s #ModWrite I’m looking at some (slightly disturbing) 1920s wax mannequins in relation to Mina Loy’s concerns over women, the face, aging, and creativity. These ones are melting in a window on a summers day
I'm spending today's Monday #ModWrite with the latest issue of The Modernist Review - modernistreviewcouk.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/t...
Making notes - taking inspiration - writing about my own reflections in response to the edition. Perhaps I will make this a regular thing!
#BAMS #modernism
invaluable!!
for today's #ModWrite I'm digging around in the archives for some work on Evelyn Waugh and radio, and enjoying the number of times Waugh sent the BBC one of these pre-printed rejection postcards.
just wrote some Punisher x Daredevil fan fic and got this work of art in return, this is my new favourite thing
We are pleased to share #TheModernistReview59 ! Check out our latest issue, exploring a wide range of topics in modernist studies: modernistreviewcouk.wordpress.com?p=6439 we hope you enjoy reading it!
