Mary Burchell remains one of the most successful romance writers, ever. Over 110 Mills and Boon books to her name.
Less well known is that much of her early writing was done for one purpose:
Funding her efforts to get Jews out of Nazi Germany, with her sister.
Mary is a Righteous Gentile. /1 🧵

P G Wodehouse was born 143 years ago today. So many wonderful sentences. Here’s one: “Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.”

NEW BAR CART BOOKSHELF 🤩
this cocktail for A Power Unbound looks beyond delicious and (aptly) potent, as a riff on the French 75. I'm going to have to make red wine syrup, clearly! and, uh, spank some rosemary.

Every time I invite a new person to Bluesky, I feel like I have to explain a lot of things about what it is, its culture, and how to use it, so last week I wrote an introduction to the app: plutopsyche.medium.com/how-to-blues...
How to Bluesky
This article explains how Bluesky works for new users and how to get the most out of the new social networking app.

Wait wasn’t this always a thing for a good min though and off by default? Or was it switched up?
Heads up, Bluesky has a new update that automatically toggles off all "adult content," forcing you to re-enable it to see anything. Probably just an oversight, still annoying as hell.
