The National Gallery in London is renovating its Sainsbury Wing and they’ve just found a secret letter from one of the original donors, sunk into a concrete column, saying that he hates the columns and is glad they’re being demolished. 10/10 unhinged rich man behaviour, no notes

A modernist concrete foyer
TO THOSE WHO FIND THIS NOTE
IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS NOTE YOU MUST BE ENGAGED IN DEMOLISHING ONE OF THE FALSE COLUMNS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FOYER OF THE SAINSBURY WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.
I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE
A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS
BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.

The University of Alabama has dozens of references to Dianne Kirksey on its websites as a "trailblazer." Last week they kicked the Black Student Union she founded in 1968 off campus, citing a new law passed by Alabama Republicans that bans it: thecrimsonwhite.com/115369/top-s...

DIANNE KIRKSEY-FLOYD WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION and a photo of a beautiful Black woman holding a bouquet of roses.

As a librarian, all I can say: Among the very first fucking things you learn in library school is not to publicly dumpster books— unless you want a lot of attention on the act for some reason. www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

A dumpster in the parking lot of Jane Bancroft Cook Library on the campus of New College overflowed with books from the Gender and Diversity Center.

Obviously the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female is to defeat the Spanish armada while looking as bitchin’ as humanely possible from your literal throne.

The famous “Armada portrait” of Queen Elizabeth the first. She is seated with her hand on a globe and dressed in the most ridiculous outfit made entirely of bows, puffy sleeves, velvet and pearls
