" I love Hay. The amazing @lyse.doucet came to read a Martha Gellhorn letter; I am resolved that she will be my new BFF. Some bloke photobombed us but what can you do? "

Above are links to all my sketches drawn at two wonderful Letter Live events at Hay Festival. Also, this happened: Shaun Usher, the author of the Letters of Note books and one of the people behind Letters Live was so kind to pass a copy of my Letters Live Drawings book on to Benedict.

Hello, Today a wonderful day, because today is Ganesh Chaturthi festival and this festival brings lots of happiness for my family. The people of India believe that Lord Ganesh brings great happiness and prosperity and removes all their obstacles. So to please Ganesh ji, people consider his birthday as Ganesh Chaturthi. People prepare different types of food for the festival. Worshiping Ganesh is considered very important in Hinduism. It is believed that those who worship him with full devotion and faith will get happiness, knowledge, wealth and long life. And all their wishes are fulfilled.

LOVE BETWEEN FAIRY AND DEVIL
@userdramas event 01 favourite ✧ 2022 release @userphotoshop event 7 genres ✦ romance ➻ arcs and names are self-coined + name explanations below cut
初逢 (chū féng) for episodes 1-9 (shui yun tian arc): “first meeting”
望月 (wàng yuè) for episodes 10-19 (cang yan hai arc): one way to say “full moon”, literally means “to look up at the moon”
梦蝶 (mèng dié) for episodes 19-26 (human realm arc): “butterfly dream”. A reference to Zhuang Zhou’s (philosopher from the Warring States era) Dream of the Butterfly: where he once dreamed that he was a butterfly and was very happy and carefree, with no knowledge that he was Zhuang Zhou, but upon waking up, he didn’t know if he was Zhuang Zhou dreaming he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuang Zhou. It’s related to the philosophical questions of the difference between reality and dreaming, and the whole nature of our reality to name a few - think Matrix, think Westworld. This arc name came automatically to me for the human realm arc especially since the human realm in the show is called 云梦泽 (yún mèng zé) “Lake of Clouds and Dreams”, and the whole arc is about the human realm and their lives there being a complete façade. Additionally, the scene of human!CDNZ dancing is FULL of butterfly motifs.
兰花一现 (lán huā yī xiàn) for episodes 26-31 (return to cang yan hai arc): a pun on the idiom 昙花一现 (tán huā yī xiàn), where 昙花 “queen of the night” (a species of cactus that blooms very rarely, and when it does, only does so and night and wilts at dawn) is replaced with 兰花 “orchid”; 昙 and 兰 rhyme in Mandarin Chinese. The original idiom means that good and beautiful things after appearing for a moment, do not last long and disappear completely. A reference to XLH trying to prove herself worthy of being the Moon Queen and also wanting to stop the war (“let the wheels of hate roll over me”) and ending up sacrificing herself.
忍顾鹊桥归路 (rěn gù què qiáo guī lù) for episodes 32-36 (goddess of xishan arc): “when we part and return our separate ways, we can’t help but gaze back at the magpie bridge”. A line by Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan about the Cowherd and immortal Weaver Girl. It is about the Qixi Festival (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month), when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, banished to the opposite sides of the Milky Way for their forbidden love, are allowed to reunite for one day, meeting again on a bridge formed of magpies. A reference to the star-crossed love between DFQC and XLH, and also that scene with the bridge that made me cry like a water fountain.

'Writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah has died aged 65, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour eight weeks ago.
A statement posted on his Instagram account confirmed he died in the early hours of Thursday.
The statement said Zephaniah's wife "was with him throughout and was by his side when he passed".
"We shared him with the world and we know many will be shocked and saddened by this news," it added.
Zephaniah was born and raised in Handsworth, Birmingham, the son of a Barbadian postman and a Jamaican nurse. He was dyslexic and left school aged 13, unable to read or write.
He moved to London aged 22 and published his first book, Pen Rhythm.
His early work used dub poetry, a Jamaican style of work that has evolved into the music genre of the same name, and he would also perform with the group The Benjamin Zephaniah Band.
As Zephaniah's profile grew, he became a familiar face on television and was credited with bringing Dub Poetry into British living rooms.
He also wrote five novels as well as poetry for children, and his first book for younger readers, Talking Turkeys, was a huge success upon its publication in 1994.
On top of his writing work, Zephaniah was an actor and appeared in the BBC drama series Peaky Blinders between 2013 and 2022.
He played Jeremiah "Jimmy" Jesus, appearing in 14 episodes across the six series.
Zephaniah famously rejected an OBE in 2003 due to the association of such an honour with the British Empire and its history of slavery.
"I've been fighting against empire all my life, fighting against slavery and colonialism all my life," he told The Big Narstie Show in 2020.
"I've been writing to connect with people, not to impress governments and monarchy. So I could I then accept an honour that puts the word Empire on to my name? That would be hypocritical.
He often spoke out about issues such as racial abuse and education.
When he was younger, Zephaniah served a prison sentence for burglary and received a criminal record.
In 1982, Zephaniah released an album called Rasta, which featured the Wailers' first recording since the death of Bob Marley.
It also included a tribute to the then-political prisoner Nelson Mandela, who would later become South African president.
In an interview in 2005, Zephaniah said growing up in a violent household led to him assuming that was the norm.
He recalled: "I once asked a friend of mine, 'What do you do when your dad beats your mum?' And he went: 'He doesn't.'
"I said, 'Ah, you come from one of those, like, feminist houses. So, what do you do when your mum beats your dad?'"
In 2012, he was chosen to guest edit an edition of BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Zephaniah was nominated for autobiography of the year at the National Book Awards for his work, The Life And Rhymes Of Benjamin Zephaniah, which was also shortlisted for the Costa Book Award in 2018.
During a Covid-19 lockdown, Zephaniah recited one of his poems in a video for the Hay Festival.
"Benjamin was a true pioneer and innovator. He gave the world so much," the statement announcing his death said.
"Through an amazing career including a huge body of poems, literature, music, television and radio, Benjamin leaves us with a joyful and fantastic legacy."
A statement from the Black Writers' guild, which Zephaniah helped establish, said: "Our family of writers is in mourning at the loss of a deeply valued friend and a titan of British literature. Benjamin was a man of integrity and an example of how to live your values."
Others paying tribute included author Michael Rosen, who said: "I'm devastated. I admired him, respected him, learnt from him, loved him. Love and condolences to the family and to all who loved him too."
Actress Adjoa Andoh posted: "We have lost a Titan today. Benjamin Zephaniah. Beautiful Poet, Professor, Advocate for love and humanity in all things. Heartbroken. Rest In Your Power - our brother."
Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy said in a statement: "Benjamin was a truly gifted and beautiful human being.
"A generational poet, writer, musician and activist. A proud Brummie and a Peaky Blinder. I'm so saddened by this news."
Broadcaster Trevor Nelson said: "So sad to hear about the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. Too young, too soon, he had a lot more to give. He was a unique talent."
Singer-songwriter and musician Billy Bragg added: "Very sorry to hear this news. Benjamin Zephaniah was our radical poet laureate. Rest in power, my friend."
Comedian, actor and writer Lenny Henry said: "I was saddened to learn of the passing of my friend Benjamin Zephaniah. His passion for poetry, his advocacy for education for all was tireless."
Writer Nels Abbey said: "To call this crushing news is a massive understatement. He was far too young, far too brilliant and still had so much to offer. A loss we'll never recover from."
The X/Twitter account for Premier League football club Aston Villa, whom Zephaniah supported said everyone at the club was "deeply saddened" by the news.
"Named as one of Britain's top 50 post-war writers in 2008, Benjamin was a lifelong Aston Villa fan and had served as an ambassador for the AVFCFoundation. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."'
