Following on from this, what are the greatest tragedies/challenges for literary presses? 1. The loss of the Net Book Agreement 2. Big publishers trying to grab the rights of your books as soon as they look like they might be a success 3. The paucity of Arts funding in the UK

BREAKING: we challenged Tory MP Liam Fox for selling out to the fossil fuel industry. 💰Fox lobbied the Bahraini royal family to award oil deals to oil company Petrofac 💰Fox accepted £10,000 from climate denier Terrence Mordaunt #stoppollutingpolitics #oilymoneyout
Der Blaue Reiter Almanac - art history according to artists. A great influence. On display at Tate Modern in #Expressionists
What is wrong with a good role model?! Bluey is funny and moving and unusually uncynical, and excellent for confounding stereotypes. IMHO!

“Go deeper than beauty & you find something that tells the truth about truth itself. This is what the dazzling lies of art can do.” John-Paul Stonard Untitled A, 1975 📸 Cindy Sherman
Franz Marc’s Tiger, 1913, alone worth the ticket for Expressionism @Tate Modern
While we're on Civilisation, this criticism, in an article by Frank Kermode, his review for the @LRB of 'Seeing Salvation' at the National Gallery in 2000, has always stuck in my mind:
Wow, memories receded like foamed waves...

I am amazed that even Mary's sensible and thoughtful reflections on Kenneth Clark's 'Civilisation' can be caught up in a culture war spat. I daresay Clark would have seen it as a sign of impending barbarism. But fwiw, here's some more thoughts from me. 🧵
If people would like to see what I said in a few minutes to provoke the ire of some cuture warriors, here it is tinyurl.com/mu7x3aee I think that K Clark himself would have engaged more constructively and politely!
