This picture of Sickert’s Minnie Cunningham, from a review of @Tate’s Degas, Sickert & Lauytrec show has hung in all my studios since it was published in 2005. A bit paint splattered and faded now but still a reminder that paint itself is always the first subject of any picture.

According to an article I have just read on a reputable news website, three-quarters of those who took their own lives in the UK in 2022 were male. We definitely don’t talk about this enough.
Next time you use the phrase ‘male fragility’ disparagingly, maybe don’t.

Jesus, I keep forgetting that the Ewan McGregor, of all people, directed a movie version of, of all novels, AMERICAN PASTORAL. How the hell does something like that happen?
AMERICAN PASTORAL (2016) Ewan McGregor stars in and directs this adaptation of Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The rot underneath the "pastoral" Decently shot. Decent performances. Everything feels...decent and well-meaning Which is maybe not Roth? 🤷♂️
