Damage to the Rokeby Venus from The Illustrated London News of 14 March 1914 – b/w photo showing the painting of a naked woman lying on her side while a cherub holds up a mirror for her. The figure has slash marks on her upper and lower back

It’s the 112th anniversary of art student and journalist Mary Richardson spending a couple of hours sketching in room 17 of the National Gallery. Then, when she’d apparently lulled the attendants into a false sense of security, she took a meat cleaver to VelΓ‘zquez’s β€˜Toilet of Venus’ 🧡

The hidden history of Britain’s fight for queer rights Several new books explore the LGBTQ+ lives and narratives that have all too oftenΒ been ignored

For The Observer, I’ve written about growing up under the shadow of Section 28, bi erasure, and the role of the Bishopsgate Institute’s archive informing new books on LGBT+ history that offer resistance and lessons in our own increasingly intolerant times

Ah yes, the practice of making thoughtless throwaway comments thinking saying β€œrespect” absolves all sins. I prefer opera over ballet but just because it’s not for me doesn’t mean it’s worthless. What an idiot.

I must admit that I don’t totally get ballet. It took several years of Strictly for me to even vaguely get dancing.

That was my complaint too. The TARDIS needs to be distinctive. It’s the MO of the TARDIS, surely? Not a single cheeky old skool roundel either
