The #ProdigalSon traditionally prompts us to reflect on the father who welcomes back his younger son. But what if we focus on the effect of his generosity on the brothers' relationship? https://t.co/DBmRplCQzZ #gospel

@RonaldClarke It intrigues me that you would excavate this.

Now up for 11 Gopo Awards, Radu Jude's "bleakest, most critical" film yet is a sharp continuation of the explorations he opened up in 'Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn'.

Indéniablement, le meilleur guignol de Paris, celui du Champs-de-Mars. J'y suis souvent allée. Intelligence des dialogues, parfois politique, très interactif.

[Wylfċen @wylfcen]

Instead of saying someone spoke, Anglo-Saxon poets would sometimes say he ‘unlocked his word-hoard’—𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘤.

Think of what that might mean to a civilization at the dawn of literacy. To most people, a stirring speech could only be carried in the heart, and immortalized by passing it on to others. The treasure you were ‘unlocking’ when you spoke was a thought, a conviction, a noble feeling expressed in words, which was all the more precious because it might not outlast you.

I think our civilization could use this phrase. In these times of peril, it might remind us to treasure our freedom to speak, and to hear whatever others have to say. Instead of saying someone ‘spoke their truth’ or ‘spoke their conscience’, we should say they unlocked their word-hoard.

As I argued here, Liz Truss was carried into office by the best-selling newspapers, the biggest think-tanks, the richest donors & the dominant party of her day.

She wasn't some lone warrior against the forces of "the establishment". She was their champion https://t.co/eN2qlzcc04

My job as a translator at @FilmsinFrame is unfortunately coming to an end, after 4 years – I haven't kept count, but I've probably done over 100. (No worries, I'll still publish new articles there!) Aside from the translations of my own texts, here's a few of my favourites... 🧵

[Madeline Potter @madeline_cct]

I’m teaching Coleridge this week, so I’m taking that as a full pass at indulging my Ancient Mariner obsession. So here’s a thread of some of my favourite things and thoughts about the Rime, both academic and more personal/subjective, starting with the gorgeous Doré illustrations.
