Today an absolute beauty is hot off the digital press. The rest of my afternoon will involve tea and @noffmag. Thank you to everyone involved. https://twitter.com/noffmag/status/1247547411335086089
NB: Would recommend downloading rather than viewing via the Drive link directly - the text is so much crisper and worth every one of the 42MB.
One cup of Earl Grey, three chocolate digestives and twenty 'low-fi hip-hop beats to read Noff to' (and a micro-cry) later, all I can say is that this is a generous masterpiece of a love letter to the arts. It's brimming with hope. Here are two quotes:

"we crave a sense of being heard and being seen, we want to feel like we are part of something" (Shanaé Chisholm, p3).

I'm going to keep coming back to this over the next few weeks.
Thank you.
