@Empty_America I guessed 1910 from the harpoons and the style of the garment.

So there are general rules in art history that *usually* allow you to guess the approximate date of art work.
But usually isn't 100%, and this painting is a great example of one that will genuinely trick you.

@Cynthia95001250 @JaneotN Yes, we older women benefit from a bit of cushion if we fall.

@JaneotN I find this concerning. It's very unhealthy for a woman of our age---she's five years older than me---to be so thin. It's vital to build muscle mass for a variety of reasons.

Demi looks monstrous. She looks fragile and anexoric and frail and surgically altered into an unrecognizable version of herself.
This is terrifying. Do not applaud this.

A new ProPublica investigation found blood transfusions during first-trimester miscarriage ER visits in Texas surged 54% after abortion became a felony.
Women are being sent home hemorrhaging instead of receiving standard care. This is cruel, dangerous, and preventable. propublica.org/article/texas-…

The "Ring Shout" is recognized as one of the oldest surviving African performance traditions, deeply rooted in the coastal Georgia and South Carolina lowcountry, including Savannah, where enslaved people maintained their Gullah/Geechee culture.
It is a religious, dancelike movement performed in a counter-clockwise circle.
Developed by enslaved Africans in the 18th and 19th centuries who merged West African traditions with American experiences, The ring shout evolved by blending African spiritual traditions with American Christian religious practices, such as spirituals.
It combines singing, call-and-response, and a rhythmic, shuffling, "shouting" motion.
The ring shout is still practiced today as part of the Gullah heritage in the region.

Hard to say who has worse judgment, this already-suspended candidate for judge in rural Nevada or the people planning to vote for her.

@gtconway3d Plus we invest in our public schools, unlike southern states with their crappy public schools and (white) private academies.

Great news! Congress is proposing a bill for public school teachers that will mandate starting base salaries of $60,000, plus a $50,000 signing bonus, overtime pay of 25% of their base salary, and student loan forgiveness of up to $60,000!
Just kidding. That’s the federally mandated compensation package for an ICE agent.
