RIP Sophie Kinsella (1969–2025) ⁠ ⁠ It is with great sadness we share the news of the death of Madeleine (Maddy) Wickham, widely known as Sophie Kinsella. Maddy wrote with rare courage and brilliance, with unique wit and warmth. We thank her for her books, her voice and her incomparable spirit. We will miss her dearly.⁠ ⁠ 📸: Sarah Cresswell

We are heartbroken to announce the passing this morning of our beloved Sophie (aka Maddy, aka Mummy). She died peacefully, with her final days filled with her true loves: family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy. We can't imagine what life will be like without her. 1.

Underrated point in the AI art wars is that learning to draw (+ to play by ear, sculpt, write descriptively etc) heightens your perception of the real world & also changes your perspective of the act itself. These mental effects are off limits if mediating everything through text

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

In the last Medieval Manuscripts lesson, I read with my students the Hymn of Charity by St. Paul in the magnificent Borso d’Este Bibble: "Love is patient, love is kind..."

This site is so bad at displaying images lol. For reference this is how Penguin was marketing Iris Murdoch in the 1970s. Insanely cool and enticing

New post: I petition the publishing industry to Make Book Covers Sexy Again, redesign some of my favourite novels to be sexier (ft. lots of excellent 90s-00s fashion photography), and take aim at the lumpen "bookish"
