Been listening to this a lot lately — came out earlier this year. Some wonderful folk-y songwriting from Clara Mann. At times reminds me of Vashti Bunyan's work. Her ear for a hook and a heavy lyric is just fantastic.

New Laura marling album is masterful as always. I sobbed a couple times on my first listen. It is so lovely and refreshing and powerful to see a woman write so lovingly about motherhood.
I want you to know that I gave it up willingly
Nothing real was lost in the bringing of you to me
I want you to have a piece of my maternal flame
Part of me, eternity, a tolerance for pain

idk something in me just changed when I listened to it all the way through
she sings about anger, gender, physical and emotional pain, love and care, plumbing the depths of sadness and sweetness. the production is so layered and gorgeous
(it’s also famously supposed to be the post-rpattz breakup album and I think having that narrative of how scrutinized and criticized she was during and after that relationship deepens my understanding of it, but doesn’t limit it)

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...

Koudelka was a photographer who documented Europe from the 60s onwards, recording the lives of travelling people, Soviet invasions, struggles with poverty, and more. He later became a member of the Magnum society and continued his work into old age. If you have the time, it's really worth digging into his work as he had a real eye for striking images that provide a lot of context for the situation he was in. He used to travel with very little besides a sleeping bag and camera so he often experienced the harsher side of life while on the job. At times his photos were smuggled out of the soviet borders, and published anonymously, to keep him safe. Check the link for a good starting point on Magnum's website!

Just finished up a week-long run of Shakespeare's Richard the Third and feeling so proud of everyone involved. I love acting and hope it'll become a bigger part of my life, but even with that said working on this latest production has been so inspirational. I've met and gotten to know so many fantastic people putting their all into theatre as a hobby — for a few of them this was their first time onstage and it was so fun watching them grow and shine as we neared opening night.
Personally, my role in the play as the Duchess of York wasn't a key character, but it was one I found massively challenging for a number of reasons — but once we got into live performances something clicked and I felt like with each show I learned something new about myself and the role.
I can't recommend this enough as an opportunity to meet new people, push yourself out of your comfort zone, and also guilt your friends into spending nearly three hours in a dark cramped room 😁
