Stunning new report suggests Nobody has been cast in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Odyssey adaptation

@aliner Reminds me of how beautifully Gould’s interpretations of the Goldberg Variations mellowed between ‘56 and ‘81.

Larissa Borges talking about a wonderful intervention study conducted in Brazil on teacher wellbeing and empathic relations. What a cool title - Dare to Care. A challenge we can all take up! #IAPLL #PLL5

@benmauk Fantastic news, Ben! Congratulations!

@biancastone While living in Maine, I once instructed a child to cut her poem into strips, throw the pieces into the air as she ran through her backyard, pick up the pieces, and transcribe the pieces in the new order. You might have stumbled upon a great sort of chance procedure!

threw out a huge amount of reject-poems. But a wind storm opened the recycling and scattered them all over the yard and even into the neighbors yard, and I didn't notice until days later 😬😐

@Samantharhill This really piques my curiosity. It makes me curious of if—or to what degree—she and Günther Anders were aware of each other’s poetry.

Working on Hannah Arendt’s poems I couldn’t escape the extent to which her youthful encounter with Rahel Varnhagen influenced her inner-thought. Publicly throughout her work she condemned romanticism; privately she was very much a romantic.
