Daphne du Maurier, an avid sailor, lived on a houseboat, "The Isolda," on the River Fowey in Cornwall in the 1940s. Her love for the sea and the Cornish landscape greatly influenced her writing, evident in novels like Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek, where the settings are key.

Scarlett Johansson pays tribute to Robert Redford: "Bob Redford cast me in ‘The Horse Whisperer’ when I was 11 years old. Every day before each scene, he would take the time to sit with me and walk me through all of the beats that led my character up until that particular point

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed. 💔

The Reluctant Traveler episode with Prince William is one of the best pieces of television I have seen this year. Could have been a PR exercise but instead - with compassionate questioning from Eugene Levy - William bares his soul.

#CharlesDickens was a strong supporter of the penny post, introduced in 1840, which allowed people to send letters for just one penny. He believed it would help bridge social divides, enabling the poor to communicate with loved ones, share ideas, and fight isolation.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

as an English professor, I’d go as far to say these days I’m excited to see typos & fragments & run on sentences & page-long paragraphs & awkward word choices & any imperfection that suggests a human being sat down to do the very hard thing of writing a college paper.
