So quick question - what's the best site to get pretty much a list of all music releases daily? Allmusic I find tend to leave a lot out and Album Of The Year's good but sporadic.

This is great - very enthused by the interdisciplinary theme, and the architecture focus of this ep is right up my street.
I especially enjoyed the proposal that the big question of High-Rise is “why don’t they just leave?” I think we can all relate.

We promised we'd be back... season 3 begins with an episode on the connection between Architecture and Speculative Fiction and features an interview with the fabulous Amy Brookes. You can listen here on Spotify or wherever you get your pods:

Brilliant to see the BBC picking up Ranald Lawrence and Dean Hawkes' fabulously interesting and important #environmentalhumanities work on #HardwickHall. They measured solar gain to understand Elizabethan comfort tech.
The original articles are hugely worth reading too.

It's absolutely no joke the amount of stuff about game design I learned by getting really into fighting games. There's even a cross-game, cross-era glossary of terms. Made by players. DESIGNERS in TTRPGs can't even agree and come up with such a resource. We got much to learn.

Books from African authors and authors of African descent to look forward to in 2026
It’s going to be another banner year (in the words of lying African governments, a “bumper harvest”) for books from authors on the Continent and in its Diaspora! Here’s your list, sorted by month, with all kinds of genres included (including children’s books, at the end of the post). There’s no way I could list every book that’s coming, but here’s what I think is notable—as always, a work in progress, subject to updates.

Reached Childhood’s End in the Essential Judge Anderson and while it’s taken some knocks (not the least of which is the How Many Times Can We Show Her Ass counter) it holds up much better than Shamballa or Satan, the stories that bookend it.

Still thinking about Bone Temple. The last thing I expected it to be was hopeful, that’s exactly what it is and it’s a little revelatory as a result. Also, weirdly, a brilliant capstone for the series as a result, even though the third is apparently go.

Trans+ History Week 2026 Workbook Launch | The History Lesson You Never Had Tickets - London - OutSavvy
Join us for the Trans+ History Week 2026: Workbook LaunchWe’re launching our third workbook 3 months ahead of Trans+ History Week so you can plan your own activities. Our workbook is a practical tool for learning, sharing and protecting Trans+ history at a time when our stories face mounting erasure. It's time for the history lesson you were denied and continue to be denied. Join us as we launch the workbook for the third edition of Trans+ History Week this coming May 4-10. This session will help you to get ready to celebrate Trans+ History Week with a new set of global history lessons for you to share. Who is this for?This session is for the Trans+ community and allies who want to learn more about the history we’ve all been denied and how you can pull together an event to mark the week. This may be in your workplace and community. You may be a community organiser, affinity network chair, EDI leader, culture worker, educator. Whoever you are, this is for you.What is the workbook?Our workbook is a free resource, packed full of stories and ideas on how you can mark the week at your organisation. We’re worked with QueerAF and commissioned four writers from our alumni creative community to produce four new stories. This year we uncover Uganda’s Lango people, study the legacy of the Shinjuku Boys of Tokyo, look at the influence the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot had on the LGBTQIA+ rights movement and pick through the archives to find moments where we’ve created the families. Join our founder, Marty Davies. Our lead researcher, Gray Burke-Stowe and others as we introduce you to this year’s lessons and help you to share them with the world. We’ll leave you inspired to put on your own event in May and with a whole lot of advice to get your going. Expect insights, take-aways & shared experiences from a fantastic panel of trans+ thought leaders and change makers on what YOU can do in the real world to make life better for Trans+ people in 2026.

It exists to popularise the newly created global awareness week: Trans+ History Week, 4–10 May 2026, and Trans+ History Day, 6 May. It is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the momentous and millennia-old history of transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and Intersex people. Our rights and our stories are under threat from the anti-rights movement. With book bans, media exclusion and misrepresentation and with censorship in academia and the arts making headlines, we’re seeing ever-intensifying attacks on our rights across the world. We have become a year-round movement to save our stories. Challenging erasure and prejudice by restoring Trans+ people’s place in our collective human story. We’re reclaiming our common humanity and in doing so creating more fertile ground for securing our rights and preventing rights rollbacks. The organisation commissions content and hosts events and exhibitions that reflect on history and surface learnings for our present to secure a better future. Since formation, the organisation has raised over £100,000 and along with QueerAF invested in over 75 Trans+ creatives: writers, illustrators, audio producers, musicians, photographers, speakers, journalists, poets and comedians to surface Trans+ stories. Accessibility info This will be a hybrid event enabling all to attend either online or in-person. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Please advise on on any additional access requirements upon registration.A recording will be available following the event___Stay up to date on Trans+ History Week activity, follow us on Instagram @transhistoryweek and subscribe to QueerAF. https://www.wearequeeraf.com/

But the bigger reason that you should write and make art, is that your work is someone else's respite.
You don't know who they are. They may be someone in the future. But if you have escaped into a book, or a painting, or a TV show... Someone created that.
