For five weeks Hans Christian Andersen stayed as a guest with Charles Dickens and his family. Dickens did not enjoy the experience at all and described it as, "Hans Andersen slept in this room for five weeks—which seemed to the family ages!"
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Art is individualism. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit&the reduction of man to the level of a machine. It seeks to show new perspectives&choices. It is a way to expand&liberate the conscious& thereby our lives.

Here's another, 130 years old: in 1895, Oscar Wilde was barred from the British Museum’s Reading Room after being convicted of gross indecency, a charge used to punish gay men in Victorian times. Last week, his access was symbolically reinstated as the British Library issued a card in his name 🤣

11 days since he was told he had to be put to sleep instead little Stormzy is taking very delicate steps.
The bandana might seem small but it’s now part of his identity. Along with his name, his recovery and the love he is getting it is part of having his dignity back ❤️
