Dear Twitter friends, I’ve spent the last seven years with my favourite Austen heroine, Jane Fairfax. Truly a woman for our time, she is brilliant, passionate and highly constrained by poverty. I’d be incredibly grateful for endorsements and retweets xx https://t.co/t9ql3eERWs

@MJonesQuidenup @CarmeliteSpirit I love that image of her, Michelle - new to me

I sometimes think the 1st decade of 17th century was the highest point of the arts in the West. As well as these plays, Donne was writing his poems and Dowland his songs; Caravaggio was painting a seemingly unending stream of masterpieces; Monteverdi was composing the Vespers.

@BertDalziel Look like you’ve been overwhelmed with suggestions but A Small Bomb at Dimperly by @LissaKEvans is my recommendation

@JessDeWahls If you want to spend your precious time making chutney fair enough but if you’d rather be stitching, just compost them.

@RooneyRachel @ObserverUK @Tom_Gatti He cares so much that he dialled it in.

I usually investigate tax. But I also care deeply about how the legal system can be used to silence people - not least because others have tried to use it to silence us.

At the Kristallnacht service at my Synagogue (behind high walls and with 5 people on security outside) the guest speaker said something that I thought very wise, which is that the way to fight the surge in antisemitism is to stand up for British values, values such as tolerance, free, but respectful exchange of views and, of course humour.

@KateMaltby @AmandaPCraig Good grief

[Chris Wild @ccwild79]

I speak a lot about the dark side of the care system, and we must never forget the children who are suffering.

But over the last two days, at Goldsmiths University and Platinum Dance Studio, Enfield,I've witnessed care-experienced people turn trauma into extraordinary creativity and talent.

Real social impact isn't another bloody PowerPoint full of statistics. It's giving people a stage, a voice and the opportunity to show the world what they're capable of.

@TriarKooiker @JournalistJill The aesthetic was so ugly and depressing too.

"The Castle of Love" is the great medieval poem you HAVEN'T read!

@LissaKEvans I fear the depth here would defeat or kill you

This is what Halloween was like in the UK when I was young.

@LissaKEvans But this is the age of the short form video! Tik Tik fame beckons, surely?

@SonyaDouglas @iseult Condolences to you and all who loved her. Fabulous photo, what wonderful poise and style she had x

[Kate Clanchy @KateClanchy1]

I shared Tara Bergin's Forward Prize winning poem with my online group in Afghanistan yesterday and this is Shadmana's response. It's a 🧵 but worth it. She's 16.

[Alexandra Wilson @amwilson_opera]

Friends in and around Oxford, I am doing a book event @blackwelloxford on 17 November. Please come along: it would be great to have a decent audience! I'll be in conversation with music writer Philip Clark and will be happy to sign copies. Details here.

Well, this essay from Bishop Dolan of Phoeniz is very good.
