With Stoppard's death it's worth mentioning that you can get the BBC radio versions of pretty much his entire body of work for a single audiobook credit (also available on Audible, but Libro.fm is far better)

Haven't received as many contributions as usual for this year's lists--could be many things, but one aspect is surely that our ability to get this in front of people is much diminished. If you know folks whose stuff should be on here, please suggest it! contingentmagazine.org/yearly-pub-l...

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

In Birmingham for tonight’s concert of Schumann & Stravinsky by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra & Simon Rattle and picked up this flyer about UoN’s dreadful Music Dept plans. Spread the word.

On Polish Independence Day and Remembrance Day, one of the things I remember are my family’s stories of the extraordinary support and care Iranians gave Polish refugees in World War II.
It’s history that should be better known.

🇵🇱🥐 It's 11 November, which is Remembrance Day for most of Europe, Independence Day for Poland, and St. Martin's Day for Poznań and Greater Poland, so I managed to get a hold of St. Martin's croissants at a Polski Sklep in Berlin and serve my colleagues this croissant bowl.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.
So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.
