« Qu’il vous reste de nous notre amour infini de la vie, de sa beauté et de sa légèreté, et que du fin fond de notre sommeil éternel, vous nous entendiez rire encore.
Rire, chanter, danser, et célébrer la vie. Nous l’avons tant aimée. »

Émilie Frèche. Les amants du Lutetia

The great ⁦@JBaruchMD⁩ on how we overanalyze burnout. “We’re talking about human hearts in peril, searching for that ferry from burnout to better. I can’t say what the journey looks like—only that it requires new maps.” #medtwitter https://t.co/PrJ0QEuj2E

@Auckland_Libs so cool to see you responding to demand by acquiring additional copies of @maggiesmithpoet ‘s memoir! Can’t wait to read this.

The poet talks to @ReardonAmy about second lives and female friendships.

@SnowHydro I signed up to her substack!

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

This is so important that this is addressed.

Thank you @RoshanaMN for highlighting.

My partner gave up A&E training for a number of reasons including not knowing where she would work in the future.

That’s hard for, all but especially with young children.

Latest blog: https://t.co/GoyXF6H86R “We agree on a time to meet, and I start planning the night before. Countless tiny tabs on my phone in the dim light of the lamp while O sleeps. Routes plotted in the Maps app. Mental calculations: if we reach here by 10.30, will we…”

@SnowHydro Great read, thanks for sharing this.

“A keynote […] concerns the need to speak with precision about the places you inhabit and that inhabit you. To […] sharpen perception—and to begin to honor the immense complexities, human and more-than-human, of a given landscape and its communities” https://t.co/wtGdGV18rS

"Before life with the baby, I woke earlier and with ease. I took my time [...] Now, I have a new reality to adjust to. [...] Some mornings I may not write, but that’s okay. I welcome each day’s energy and commit to writing when I can"

"I have to be patient and kind to myself as the new mother writer now. I will not set unrealistic expectations. I will find a way to merge the mother self and the writer self, for they are one and the same"

[Zofia K Stanley @juniordocling]

Two evenings a week I went to the library after work to write.

“I spent about two years collecting notes, pages, and scenes. I put out little feelers in my writing group or with my agent […] for a summer it was impossible to write. If you let time pass, though, time makes it eventually possible to write about the impossible.”

“I sometimes pulled back on reality. But, on the page, I gave close to everything.”@szilmolnar on writing about the early postpartum days of motherhood while living them. https://t.co/NjqguQKpkX

"Writing requires the use of the whole mind, both its sober, logical, sequential half and its savage twin: unconscious, instinctive, libidinal."
