While listening to You’re Dead to Me with @gregjenner.bsky.social, I audibly whooped when @lucyworsley.bsky.social said her favourite Austen novel is Emma. I am in such good company!

One of the great regrets of my life is not taking photos of an Airbnb I stayed in Rome in 2017. There was a lot to comment on, but the key feature was the lavender dining room with a framed poster of Anna Nicole Smith.

I love that Gráinne Mhaol is being honoured like this. But why is she still being referred to as “Grace” ? This is not an Anglicisation of her name. She was renamed to make her story more palatable to English ears. Can we honour her by saying her name? Gráinne.
