She died. I don't even know what to say. She was one of the good ones. This is awful and shocking.

A Guardian journalist walked out of a discussion on Sky News for just that reason: http://gu.com/p/4yvjj?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_t...

The Toast : The Best of Andrew Barrow's Gossip: A History of High Society From 1920-1970

I went there last year; rather adorably they have put a stuffed Lemur in Mah-Johng's little sleeping room. (Do go if you ever get the chance- I was dragged around what seemed like nearly every National Trust property and English Heritage site as a child and this is one of the most fascinating).

Motherhood is a Lana Del Rey video.

I hate that the Daily Mail has stills from the video that the murderer shot. Their main picture right now is Alison Parker reacting to the gun that is just about to kill her. Her fear and that man's act of violence is going to define the memory of her now, not the life that she led.

The Toast : Dispatch from the Front Lines of Orthodox Jewish Feminism

Ignoring the awful rabbi, this was such a lovely post. There is a series on the BBC at the moment about the spiritual and religious side of three important rivers- the Nile, the Ganges and the Yagtze which is really interesting (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l911c/episodes/guide). There was a programme called Pagans and Pilgrims: Britain's Holiest Places, which did an episode on how water keeps popping up in various religions as well.

The Toast : Fictional Characters Whose Lives Would Have Been Vastly Improved By An Abortion

I feel like the babies were a bit tacked on and unnecessary. Like she was a fertile woman in a YA novel so she had to get pregnant. It's that whole Chekov's womb thing.

Oh, really? Well, you do you, crazy lion lady. But if she had proper healthcare, maybe she could get therapy to work through some of her issues? She drinks her feelings away a bit too much to be healthy and all the conspiring to murder people isn't really good for the psyche.

I feel like Game of Thrones would be a little more chilled if Cersei Lannister had access to proper healthcare.

Loooooove Waterloo. When I was at uni, I worked at County Hall, you know the building next to the Eye? Good times. The only places in SE London I have lived in are London Bridge (nice, but this was before all the regeneration around the mayor's building) and Surrey Quays (ughhh). I was very lucky when I was at uni, because I got to live in Notting Hill (best place in the world; until I win the lotto, I can not return), Fulham and Caledonian Road (just north of King's Cross). Good places. I am eyeing up Finsbury Park at the moment, but I am secretly hoping I can afford a place in crazy, lovely Camden.

I start on April 18th, I might not have a flat by then, so I will crash on my brother's floor in Wimbledon. It is all happening so quickly! I will be working next to Kings Cross St Pancras. Are you very central?

Which is weird, because I get the feeling he loves pussies. SORRY. Actually it is hard to find a pet friendly place on my budget. I am going to have to be a crazy cat lady without a cat. It is like having tonic without gin. My best mate has two cats though, so I will get some cuddle time in each week, hopefully.

Well now you have a place to stay if you are ever over! (Not that my place will be fancy, I am getting paid exactly bugger all pound sterling, so I am getting a flatshare). Anyway haven't you had even better news recently? Congrats!
