Simple and aesthetically very pleasing, the chancel at Wick in Glamorganshire. High altar with medieval mensa flanked by two image brackets of different dates. The left one decorated with fleur-de-lys and presumably for the Virgin Mary. pic.twitter.com/BJ33oRsel4

Tantalising evidence that the vestments at Buckland that make up the carpet may have come from neighbouring Hailes Abbey. A rebus ‘Why’ and a church building may represent Abbot Wychurch. Between the two is a reliquary, perhaps the reliquary of the abbey’s famous holy blood? pic.twitter.com/g1ScF4RYJs

What a harrowingly foolish experiment. The outcomes of this were disappointingly predictable.

We’re testing more AVs than ever and traffic deaths keep going up 📈
We’re making more EVs than ever and emissions keep going up 📈
Just a hunch here but maybe automakers aren’t going to solve these problems for us 🤷🏼♀️https://t.co/oHoLicQc6F— Alissa Walker (@awalkerinLA) July 14, 2019

Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude. He then shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day “digital declutter” process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
