Today's artist w/out a (known) birthday: Anthonie de Lorme, born in Tournai but mostly of Rotterdam, whose Laurenskerk he often painted. As here in 1669.

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

I'm stepping in last minute to introduce The Breakfast Club at BFI Southbank tomorrow evening, ironic for someone who was too much of a goody two-shoes to have ever been given detention at school 🏫🎒 Tickets here! whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...

hahaha fuck maybe that would motivate me to work out a bit more often!

No more showing off in public ever again lmao

Loved reviewing Materialists for @lwlies.com , a strange, flawed film that I was still rather charmed by!! 🍸
