Not only are Quality Street named after the play by J.M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan), but the people on the tin are characters from the play: Captain Valentine Brown and Miss Phoebe Throssel.

Voices of the past explain the pain of losing their local pub. As I say often, the pub isn't just a place to drink, but a vital excuse to be among others. The loss of our pubs and the community therein is but the beginning of Britain's end. 🍻 @PubHistoryTours @Britains___Pubs

I’m standing on the Sydney Harbour Bridge looking into empty rooms in the famous brutalist apartment building, the Sirius. Built as social housing, those people booted out and now between $1.6 and $35m per apartment. The ghosts of the dispossessed will haunt those rich bastards.

Most of us will never meet our great grandparents.

We know them through what remains.

That made me ask a different question: What will future generations know about us from the photographs we leave behind?

I wrote an essay about that.

Every photograph is a decision about what future generations inherit. https://t.co/JP1FghnhJY

Alice Guy-Blaché,
July 1, 1873 – March 24, 1968.

She was one of the first filmmakers to make a narrative fiction film, as well as the first woman to direct a film. From 1896 to 1906, she was probably the only female filmmaker in the world.

What was the thing about three ducks on a sitting room wall? I remember it being a kind of trope on TV when I was little of a certain kind of house - but where did it come from? Who was the first person to put three ducks on a wall? Why was it considered to be "common"?

[Robert Barwick @RobbieBarwick]

I recommend this film that's playing at Cinema Nova in Carlton thios Friday.

It's harrowing, but everyone needs to see and hear the reality of war and its innocent victims, so we can be determined to resolve conflicts and avoid war with all our might.
