The Artist in His Museum by Charles Willson Peale. A painting of an old bald white man holding up a red tapestry to reveal an art museum in the background. He looks very proud of his goodies.

nice detail in this AI-generated TLDR

Fully open-access peer-reviewed journal, largely open-access biblio, collectively authored by scholars at teaching-centered institutions, pedagogical theory with psychoanalytic & political economic foundations.

Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an
"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
