Maya graduated last year and is living and working alone. But there is no loneliness in this poem.

My 2.5 year old son has a speech delay and after a lot of worry and fear that he would never speak today he pointed to an old woman in the street and shouted "man!" at her about 20 times and I've never been so embarrassed and proud in my entire life.

Tom Hollander’s A Life in the Day is quite brilliant.

Rewatching episodes of 'When Louis met...' and now imagining a new series with different members of the current Tory cabinet Ep 1 Matt Hancock: dull as f***, has an even bigger picture of the Queen over his bed, his wife cries on Louis's shoulder whispering something about PPE

Oh man. The stationary hover. The wide legged walk. Moonwalk clipping against the train carriage. Accidentally interacting with the statue a second time. The cutscene camera angle change. This is art.
This is too good. YouTuber walks around Shibuya like it’s a video game.

This is the first thing in months that has made me properly, achingly yearn for live performance
Love letters to set designers. Following the Katrin Brack's one, now is the time of another German (genius) of minimalism: JOHANNES SCHUTZ.

Anyone else repeatedly shouting "Ok, BUT WHAT ABOUT THEATRES?!!!" at every single piece of news they read this week? FFS, this is going to be beyond devastating.
The entire artistic team at the Theatre Royal Plymouth are being made redundant in 3 days. That’s one of the largest, most well attended theatres outside London. A theatre that now has no artists, and they won’t be coming back. Our world-beating cultural landscape is in collapse

Anna, 17, absolutely nailing OX4 vs OX1, a thing I think about and feel almost constantly
When people think of Oxford, they think of OX1 - historical, beautiful, rich as Mayfair. But Anna lives in OX4, as ethnically mixed and deprived as Hackney, and this is her poem about it. She's 17.

My grandma died this week. She travelled the world and had 5 children, 11 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. But I think this was her finest moment.
