A photo of some urban demolition happening
My office has a front row seat to this demolition. I kind of want to get some snacks in, barricade the door, and unplug the phone and just watch this all day

This is Max Dupain's "Sunbaker", 1937, of his English friend, Harold Salvadge.
I can see why it caused a stir! 🥵
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Match 9 (1989)
Robert Mapplethorpe's photos are instantly recognisable. In Just Kids, Patti Smith described his approach: "He worked without apology, investing the homosexual with grandeur, masculinity, and enviable nobility."
He died #OTD due to complications with HIV/AIDS.
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

Monica Helms, creator of the trans flag was born #OTD. Her original flag is part of the Smithsonian Museum's collection, preserving it for the future.
As well as an artist and activist, Monica is a Navy veteran and published sci-fi author too!
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

"I can stand on stage and do nothing, and people will write 'Divine was outrageous.'"
The divine Divine, icon, performer, singer and John Waters: muse died #OTD.
Divine is remembered for her fearless performances, barbs, quips and her unique perspective.
Tom Daley's six-exercise YouTube home workouts were a lifesaver during lockdown, but now we keep seeing his routine everywhere! This one's for your obliques 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

How do we alert the international space station that their piss tank has a slow leak? 😳🛰️💛
The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.
Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.

I imagine a little scoop of vanilla ice cream would pair well with a slice of this cake 😁
Ooooooh 🤤
Which "he" though... 😉

Pier Paulo Pasolini, a queer Italian writer, director, poet, philosopher (the list is almost endless) was born #OTD.
He's known for films Salo and Teorama. He also wrote a poem to Pope Pius XII which went:
How much good you could have done!
And you
Didn’t do it

Happy 551st birthday, Michelangelo! 👍🏛️🍑🎂 #MuseumBums
Here's one of your masterpieces (David, 1501-1504, Galleria dell'Academia) and two of your biggest fans (us: Jack and Mark, who are understandably starstruck! 🤩)

The cover for Hotties in Art
If you need some last minute inspiration, it's quite easy to dress up as Hotties In Art for World Book Day.
Just look at this chap channeling the *very handsome* cover guy.

Probably check in with HR before coming to work dressed as @museumbums.bsky.social though 😁

Australian diver Matthew Mitcham, born #OTD, made a huge splash in the best possible way at the 2008 Summer Olympic games.
He was the only openly gay man to win gold in the Beijing games and set a record for the highest scoring dive in Olympic history.

Excuse me, sir. I think you'll find we reserved this massive shell with our beach towels at 5am 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

Thanks Mum for sharing! 😁
