What makes me sad about the oasis podcast was the irresponsible quality of the press. Tabloids, result, yob, fights and wanting this stuff in the media. It was the age of very lazy laddish journalism. The nirvana edition was sad and beautiful.

What helps me in my day job and my poetry world these days is less is more. Im usually a maximalist- wanting more of everything- particularly books!! But after getting ill last year - my friend Ingrid was such a wise friend. She has written a book! Its a wise one… i hope it helps you.

JoladΓ© Olusanya recommends 'Sand and Foam' by Kahlil Gibran. He says of the book: "A master of the one-liners. Gibran is incredible at summarising life in simple lines. You'll put this book down often -- not because you're bored, but because you can't believe this talent existed at all."

Head of African American Museum Departs as Trump Targets Smithsonian Kevin Young, who has led the National Museum of African American History and Culture since 2021, went on leave before the president criticized the institution in an executive order.

Terribly sad.
