This painting is 115 years old.
It's by Zinaida Serebriakova, a remarkable artist with a remarkable life involving both World Wars, the Russian Revolution, Paris, and personal tragedy.
This is her story...

Always a pleasure chatting to such lovely people... Charlotte and Ellie are just that!
Our first episode of 2024 is here, and it's a very exciting one: we chat with the one and only @Bebbrell! We talked about @sortedfood and their app Sidekick, and Ben shares lots of tips and advice on how to be a better home cook. Listen here: learnaboutpod.com/ep-171/

It's February 1st, which means it's LGBT+ History Month in the UK! 🏳️🌈 In my latest podcast episode for @learnaboutpod, I talk about why this month (and LGBTQ+ education in general) is so important, and how you can celebrate at home or in your workplace. learnaboutpod.com/ep-151/

In 1922, neighbours heard screams coming from a house in the affluent LA area of Layfette Park. When the police arrived, they found Fred Oesterreich dead & his wife Dolly locked inside in a closet. They were certain Dolly had done it, but they had no idea how.
Thread
ALT A black and white photograph of Dolly around the time of the trial. She is middle aged, sat on a chair, and looks every bit your 1930s glamour puss. She is wearing a fox fur around her neck, a long dress with laced sleeve details, and a bucket hat. Her hair is curled & she has her handbag on her knees. This is not someone you'd think would have a gimp stashed in the attic.

@OmarNajam and @learnaboutpod once again talking about Ace representation in the most wonderful way and describing this little baby Ace’s feelings in the best, beautiful and perfect way that I’ve not yet been able to articulate. Thank you❤️

@learnaboutpod I enjoyed both your interviews with @OmarNajam as an RPG nerd and an Ace person. The first reminded me of a note I got in a screenwriting class back when I was a baby Ace that really drove the message home for me. Was happy to learn this isn't unique to me
ALT A handwritten note which reads: Think about Liam's heart - also his sexuality - The world here seems cold/distant - "intellectual". I think it's possible to raise the sexual staked too.

Taking a (careful! slow!) walk on the greenway before yet more medical appointments this morning and finally getting to tuck into this.
Expect some screaming later. (Possibly poetic screaming. You are never safe from poetic screaming.)
Here's our huge 2-hour bonus episode with @OmarNajam! ✨ We talk about @dimension20show #acofaf, #DesiQuest, Halloween, the Muppets, and more! 🎃

After backing it on Kickstarter, I've finally caught up on @shipwrckdcomedy's #HeadlessSeries and it is INCREDIBLE. It takes the boundaries of a small budget web series and throws them out the window, and you'd honestly think it's a show from a paid streaming service.

I researched the origin of gender-neutral pronouns and what I learned was really interesting (and proves that they've been around for literally hundreds of years). Listen to the podcast episode here! learnaboutpod.com/ep-121/

Currently editing this week's @learnaboutpod episode (a bit late, oops) and it's definitely one of my favourite ones I've done in a while. Here's a hint... 👀
