"I have OCD, so these days I like to do things to prioritise my well-being, instead of trying to meet imaginary targets. For me, comparing personal stats is like giving my OCD a three-course meal and a massive energy drink."

So true, the Victorian poor were never seduced by coldness to fight among themselves x
All the appeals to life having a better sense of Community in the 'industrial era,' when Dickens described the isolation of being destitute and the 'communities' of street people arguing over death remains. You absolutely could not make it up
It must be sentimentalise the Victorians day! (ending in y)

Overheard in Holborn: a woman runs up to a homeless man and says, "I've got a bag of croissants from Gail's, would you like some?"

I wrote this piece about the disorienting feeling of visiting an art gallery and seeing no work by women artists. I would be very grateful if you could give it a read 🙂

Blogge update:
Tomorrow's Wednesday poem is by queer Jewish Victorian poet Amy Levy.
Pictured in a mysterious Marilyn-style portrait:
Såg en bedårande egyptisk keramikskål med fötter som man daterat till 3700-3450 före lillJesus och var bara tvungen att göra en egen i trä. Svarvad och skuren i alm, ytbehandlad med jojobaolja och bivax.
Christian holidays can hit differently for queer people. Today's blog highlights Easter-themed poetry from Jay Hulme, Koleka Putuma and Wilfred Owen 🌈

Is this a holy thing to see,
In a rich and fruitful land,
Babes reducd to misery,
Fed with cold and usurous hand?
Is that trembling cry a song?
Can it be a song of joy?
And so many children poor?
It is a land of poverty!
