why does this communicate the universal mood we women experience so perfectly
This is doubly annoying because she’s clearly in mourning; look at her clothes. those are mourning clothes. The way she clutches her handkerchief. The wetness of her eyes. She’s not a lark to the seaside, she’s traveling to or from a funeral.
And this dandy fuckboy can’t look beyond his own nose and have some fucking respect.
This is why I support artists. You can tell a story without any words at all. You don’t even need to title this piece “The Irritating Gentleman” and yet most 21st Century women will know exactly what this 19th Century woman endured on the day of that painting.
And look how she is dressed. Not a piece of skin exposed. So dont tell me its our miniskirts that makes men do this!
So 2016 is SO bad that it made the creator of this meme give us an alternative version of “This is Fine”.
2016? PSSHHHHH
God remember when we thought 2016 was the worst year….
2020 is a direct result of what happened in 2016. A lot of us saw something like this coming as we saw that year unfold. Yes, 2016 was a terrible year. It was, in fact, the worst. Because actions taken that year led us to where we are now. This year wasn’t inevitable. Neither was 2016. Almost all of the problems we’re facing right now are man made. Stop looking back fondly on the frying pan and focus on getting out of the fire.
this is amazing but it’s gonna go over yt people heads anyway
This is how slaves brought over the peanut plant!
Last year, I took a class called History of the African-American Spirit. One of the things I learned about is black people’s hairstyles (especially cornrows) during slavery. They were more than just hairstyles and creative ways to store food. They were also used to create maps. Black slaves would use these maps to escape plantations and their captors.
Okay I never knew this! 🙌🏾
I’d read about certain crops being potentially brought over from Africa to the Americans via seeds in captured slaves’ hair, but I hadn’t known how simple and subtle the hairstyle could be.
