RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

my women in translation month is going to be so fun

If I may- in my estimation- #WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.

Geoffrey Bawa turned an abandoned horse stable into one of the most studied residential conversions in Asian architecture. This is how. The Horagolla House began as an abandoned horse stable on a family property. Bawa visited the site, stood and studied it, then agreed to convert it. Over four years in the 1980s, he remodelled the stables with restraint into a double height living space. The stable hall became the living room. Verandas looked out over garden courts. Trees were planted around the perimeter on Bawa’s advice, Hora, Kotang and Kohombo. Burma teak sourced from old houses across the island. Clay pots. A salvaged Dutch door that Sunethra and Bawa famously competed over at the same antique dealer. Bawa rejected the imposition of preconceived forms onto a site. Every project began with the land; its trees, its light and its climate. The building followed. That philosophy produced homes that feel inevitable rather than imposed. He is widely regarded as the father of tropical modernism in Sri Lanka and the Horagolla House is one of the clearest examples of why. Horagolla House, Sri Lanka. Geoffrey Bawa. 📷 Ashish Sahi

RIP Peter Aldington, whose Turn End is a lovely example of perhaps my favourite architectural style — Kettle’s Yard Modernism.

It’s official!!! I’m gonna be a published author!! Words cannot describe how grateful I have felt these last few months, this is an absolute dream come true ❤️ Skeeter Pete 🐕🐶 is gonna steal your hearts (unless you’re a cat person 🤭)

the thing is, to make art, to fall in love, to do anything really worth doing, you have to risk embarrassment, humiliation, heartbreak. to do anything you have to risk being. and that's being in front of—or more scary, with—others.
