Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.

The Athenaeum Club library.

The Athenaeum tends to attract the cream of the academic world (over 51 Nobel Prize winners) in literature and science.

The Pall Mall-based club was established in 1823 and is named after the ancient Roman Athenaeum, the centre for the study of literature and science.

Sir Charles Darwin used the Athenaeum to study in 1838. In one letter, dated August 9, he said: "I go and dine at the Athenaeum like a gentleman, or rather like a lord, for I am sure that the first evening I sat in that great drawing-room on the sofa by myself, I felt just like a duke. I am full of admiration for the Athenaeum, one meets so many people there that one likes to see … Your helping me into the Athenaeum has not been thrown away, and I enjoy it the more because I fully expected to detest it."

Breaking 150 years of tradition, the 2000 members of the gentleman's club for the 'intellectually elite' voted to allow women to become members in 2002. Baroness Susan Greenfield, professor of pharmacology at the University of Oxford, was the first woman invited and others have followed since.

Hands down one of the best libraries in club land. But they also have the most intrusive librarian with the beadiest eye to keep watch on you from her desk.

Oh, to travel back again North and haunt the aisles of the Providence Athenaeum with the shades of Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Hi dear,

Not sure if you are part of the Cobalt Athenaeum, but I saw your response to the person that tried to doxx you/them. I just wanted to know if you guys will come back to Tumblr cause I always got such great advice and help when I needed it. Also the posts were so interesting, so many things to read and learn!🔥

I'm SO angry at how the whole thing went down and not knowing what to do and I'm sure there are other people who need help too based on the asks and how kind and helpful the responses are. I miss the blog SO MUCH!😭😭🩵

Thank you so much for any info you can give!🥹🩷

I am one of the three High Curators, yes. We will likely never come back here, we've mostly cut ties with Tumblr as a whole. you're free to join the discord server!! it's always been our main platform, anyway. Since that all went down we have been EXTREMELY strict on where and how (and from whom) we get our information, so we've almost entirely cut Tumblr out of the servers. Thank you, sincerely, for your support. it's good to know there's still people here that saw that shit show for what it was.

Miklya Luzsányi Mónika: Ezerszer Júlia

“Úgy érezte, hiába minden lángoló érzeménye, időre van szüksége. Időre, amíg legyőzi az észérveket, a társadalmi konvenciókat, amíg túlteszi magát apja várható haragján.” Szendrey Júlia szerintem mindenkinek a “nemzet özvegyeként” él a tudatában. Nekem annyi személyes kötődésem van hozzá, hogy ott születtem én is, ahol ő (Keszthelyen) és az általános iskolám neve az ő nevét viselte. Akkoriban,…
