Some people really waste the opportunity of being rich and famous. Heidi Klum is not one of those people.

Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz — dressed as Medusa and the Greek soldier she turned to stone — on why it’s still “important to do live art” amid the rise of generative AI: “This is only good for the night. Tonight. Everything goes down the drain, so to speak, in the shower… There still needs to be people that create moments with real people.”

What bliss is this? Everyone else still asleep, rain tapping on the window, a cat on my lap, and I've just reached the opening chapters of The First Men in the Moon in my H. G. Wells collection
A very good start to November!

Part 2 of working my way through The Artist's Way. Definitely had to adapt the rules a bit but still got a lot from this process.
I really enjoyed having the encouraging teacher voice again. Took me back to the best Creative Writing lessons at Uni.

My response to Jess Phillips, I don’t know why she is saying my claims are untrue when she knows I have the evidence to prove it

Decided to give myself a writing re-set by working through The Artist’s Way. Morning pages, artist dates and some unexpected results

Reviewing 100 'classic' books based on nothing but my own precious opinion. Very satisfying to air my grievances against some of these books, *ahem* Atonement *ahem*

I actually love this. Watched a vlog of someone putting together a personal curriculum the other day. Think learning for learning's sake is beautiful

Really interesting thing on TikTok where the "dark academia" obsession has led a certain set of influencers into designing and following "personal curricula" - basically reverse-engineering the autodidact Victorian miners. Overwhelmingly positive, I think

My 9yo piled up her squishmallows by the kitchen door so she could read her book whilst listening to the rain.

Little walk in Skipton Castle Woods today. Then lunch at the castle Inn and mooch round shops. Now home with plenty of snacks. Planning a Ghosts marathon tonight.
In short, my Saturday is better than yours

Re-reading Jurassic Park again. I love how the physical horror of the dino attacks is perfectly mirrored in the mental panic in the control room as the park engineers realise little by little that all their perfect security and safety measures have failed. It's brilliantly done

Re-reading the Wheel of Time, The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan - spoiler filled reaction and review.
I enjoyed WoT the first time round, but re-reading it is such a different and rewarding experience. I can see why people obsess about this series so much!

And it should be illustrated. Set in the 1930s/40s. Nick Frost should voice the North Polar Bear. BBC production. Broadcast on Christmas Eve. I've got it all figured out

Came across this amazing sculpture of Nelson, Lancashire's shield today. As far as town mottos go, 'By industry and integrity' is a rather good one, especially for a town born out of the industrial revolution
