I couldn't help but chuckle at the first "Included" bullet on this management training:

"Hearing the real life experiences of a person with a mental health condition and how this impacts on their work and life."

They are like fucking unicorns, but we managed to track one down.

This morning my nearly-three year old said "You going to work again, daddy?"

I don't really know how to break it to him.

Worth a listen, folks!

People could have saved a lot of time reading that article if they'd just led with this line:

"When did honesty become a requirement – let alone the main requirement – of poetry?"

...And let people decide if the rest of it was worth their while based on how they reacted to it.

This is a peculiarly ahistorical and common take: https://cinematicslant.com/2017/11/21/hollywood-is-out-of-unoriginal-ideas/
The lionising of the concept of "originality" in entertainment is one of the most besides the point avenues of attack in criticism; as blah & false as "character development".

The unique value of almost all creative work is in the execution of it; originality as a metric only really measures the width and depth of the critic's experience and knowledge. Especially when one takes a medium-agnostic view like in that post.
