In the process of trying to clear stuff from the attic. Found boxes of my girl's toys. I've been pretty successful with the playmobil, now I'm cleaning up Ken and his Barbies, getting them spiffy for Vinted. Seems a shame to just throw them out.

In the 1870s, Armand Guillaumin developed an interest in viaducts and bridges as an employee of the Paris-Orléans railway. This landscape was painted in the upper valley of the Marne in northeastern France, only a few miles from central Paris.

And he’s back!! Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us. His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Where an online search for a particular painting leaps into a league of its own is by making you look at, and appreciate, the 'lesser,' lights of British art, such as Stanley Reed. This is 'The Seamstress,' from 1941.

I love 'The Far Side' #RIPJaneGoodall

RIP Jane Goodall This clip will never NOT make me cry

F*ckin Farage.... Russian stooge

Adolph Menzel was a brilliant draughtsman, his technical virtuosity and skill is ably demonstrated in this work 'portrait of my hand,' he made sometime in the late 1840s, it is painted in the most realistic style he ever used.

Ok I have no willpower. I caved and bought a #Lux4 Gold ticket. Vaguely justifying the purchase by the fact I didn't do a convention this year. #Lucifer 😈 Also - Irrespective of which guests are announced - I'll look forward to catching up with all the lovely #Lucifans who can make it.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints. Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.

Coming very soon. Please sign up! We can only do this together. We're starting small but we have big ambitions. Because if there's anything that the last few years have shown us, it's that we desperately need diverse, fearless INDEPENDENT media. www.thenerve.news

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor. What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

A Britain's Lost Masterpieces repeat on tonight; Tatton Park, BBC4, 8pm.

William Orpen's radiant colours and his luscious textures celebrated not only wealth but sensuality, a quality deemed unnatural in the early years of the new century if you weren't Italian or French. This is his 'The Eastern Gown,' from 1906.

Measured, sensible, and much welcomed statement from Faversham Town Council on the idiocy of the moronic flag pandemic.

Windsor Castle Tuesday night. Four of us arrested for 'malicious communications'. Now released. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8V4...

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist." Just like that, we lost America.

There's always a relevant quote.

Post a female character you love

Charles Ginner's work was painted from one of the windows of his sister's house at Boscastle in Cornwall in the late summer of 1928. Views from windows were a distinctive theme in his personal artistic vocabulary.

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

'In the Sun.' (c1910) Dudley Hardy worked as a book illustrator contributing to numerous magazines, including Punch and Illustrated London News. He was also a painter of genre and landscapes, exhibiting in most of the big name London galleries including the Goupil Gallery.

Sad news, another old hollywood star departs. #RIPRobertRedford

The life of William The Marshal would make an awesome tv series, I'm astounded there isn't one already. Great podcast from Dan Snow.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there. This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

Packing up the garden furniture cushions. Stowing the large parasols. Despite it being dry as hell, I would have gladly taken another couple of weeks.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Pink song 'Feel Good Time' has triggered fanvidding nostalgia. It's in an advert at the moment, I am sure it was used in buffyverse fanvid often watched back in the day. Do you think I can remember which one? Anyhoo I wandered into LJ & read some of the community posts. Simpler times, I miss it.

My goodness, the right thing has been done.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

William Merritt Chase established his own summer school at Shinnecock, on the eastern tip of Long Island, New York - this painting (1897) is among the finest works he produced there.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Wandered out to the fields at the back of the village to see if the #bloodmoon was visible. Nothing but clouds, unfortunately, at least they were pretty.

The “We Are All DC” March is massive. Thousands of people marching down 16th Street NW against the occupation of DC.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Some home (or away) truths about fathedge

One of the most significant painters of his generation, Antoine Coypel's work in mixed chalk from around 1715 is a study linked to his greatest achievement: the series of large painted decorations for the Gallery of Aeneas in the Palais Royal in Paris.

The desperation by those on the Right to smear Angela Rayner is wearing thin🙄 And no - don’t bother replying UNTIL you’ve read the thread! I’ve trawled through multiple versions of this “story” in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to try and piece together what’s going on! 🧵1/17

The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.

This is my flag.
