me: Why does my to-watch list keep ballooning out of control?

also me: Tony Gilroy name dropped Babylon Berlin in a random interview and watching the first two seasons of Babylon Berlin is now my utmost priority

Blot, erase, delete is another one of my favorites . A must read. A great talent who will forever be missed.

It was the cheapest source of power. Words are free.

I started writing in earnest at 22. I thought: I am a wreck and have no money and am in poor health – and so how am I going to impose myself on the world? I was seethingly ambitious, I don’t make any secret of that. I needed to be somebody. The only way I could think of was by writing. Because all you need is paper and pencil and you can do it horizontal. But it was never an escape, nor was it the place I was running to – because it wasn’t a refuge – but it was what enabled me, it was my source of power and it was all I’d got and it was the cheapest source of power. Words are free. And when I think: what do I retain from the old days? It’s a turn of phrase.

— Hilary Mantel, Interviewed in the Observer, 2003. (via The Guardian.com, Sept 23, 2022)
