In 2006, as an assignment given by their teacher, a group of students at Xavier High School in New York City wrote to their favourite authors to request a visit to their school. Kurt Vonnegut was the only author to reply. His letter to them was absolutely beautiful.

Is Twitter dead now? (he asks on Twitter…)

Once again somehow living my absolute best life in France for the second time this year 🇫🇷

This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour. And though this may look like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

Tell me these aren’t the same movie poster. I dare you.

In Edinburgh a few days - drop me your best recommendations. New plays exploring bold ideas to the top of the line please and thank you

I want one

As you set out for Ithaka, hope the voyage is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. I can’t go on; I’ll go on. Wyn, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. The penny continues to drop. With every acting job, with every life change, with each day’s small lessons ❤️

Requiring people to earn £38,000 before they can settle in this country is another example of Britain's fixation on arbitrary cruelty. I don't know where people got the idea that our country values liberty, our government spends every moment inflicting humiliation and pain

Some kids threw gum at me at a bus stop today and then a car honked at me while I was cycling trying to avoid a pothole and passed so close I hit the pothole (then they yelled at me) - I’m thinking I just stay home the rest of the day so I avoid whatever the third thing will be.

Olly, thank you.

Last night, with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever, parliament passed a 66% increase to the NHS surcharge. This migrant tax now means that people will pay £1,035 every year to access the NHS, no matter their contributions to the system via tax or NI.
