I honestly hate that we’ve normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling ppl that they are ill informed & ignorant

Afrikaners took all opportunities very seriously. Educated their children into professional skills and out of poverty. Built huge enterprises from the bottom up. Nothing stopping everyone else from following that example.

Things start getting good in April. And some of us were smart enough to be born during this cruelest kindest month to be a part of the real duality of spring.

One more from Vivian Maier. And then I will stop. "Self-Portrait, 1954". The women in parties dresses *inside*, where the glass marks the distance between interior and exterior. The perfect fit of their legs in Maier's ankles. The doppleganger self as subject.

Today I will be deposed by Harvard and I was up early preparing to discuss Harvard’s history of violence against my family and then I see this published in UNESCO this morning; confirmation that we are right! That we are on right side of history and that Harvard is wrong!

“Frida learned from her father that the camera is a powerful tool to convey ideas depending on how you present yourself. She became aware of photography from a very young age & was used to being in front of the camera. She wasn’t afraid of it." 📸Nickolas Muray. Frida, 1939.

Taverns were political meeting spaces, in addition to them being a nice time space. She’s also documenting the existence of beer brewing women who were often the targets of police harassment. Considering all that was going on back then, people drank to numb themselves.
