Guten Morgen! Abbott Thayer, * 12.8.1849 in Boston, Massachusetts; † 29.5.1921 in Monadnock, New Hampshire, war ein US-amerikanischer Maler 🎨 🇺🇸 Junge Frau, die ihre Haare arrangiert, 1918/19 🖼️ Smithsonian American Art Museum 🏛️ #OTD #ArtHistory #PortraitPainting #BskyArt #Museum #History

Junge Frau mit kastanienbraunen langen Haaren, die mit hochgerecktem linken Arm und angedeuteter rechter Hand ihre langen Haare arrangiert während der oberkörper im Dreiviertelmaß den Betrachter zugewandt ist und in einem drapierten antikisierendem weißen Gewand gekleidet ist, hält sie ihren Kopf nach unten gesenkt im Profil der Hintergrund ist dunkelgrün mit angedeutetem Blättern. Bei der Dargestellten handelt es sich um seine Schwiegertochter Alma Wollerman Thayer (1886-1959). da sie auf dem Bild eher wie 24 als wie 34 aussieht, könnte man auch ein 10 Jahre früheres Entstehungsdatum annehmen, als in der Wikipedia angegeben ist.

This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

Youth anti-trans legal risk assessment map From Carla Lewis: this breaks my heart. there are now only FIVE safe states with strong protections for trans youth: new mexico, minnesota, vermont, hawaii, and massachusetts. if cis people don’t start fighting hard for trans youth, then soon there will be no safe states. an entire generation is going to suffer needlessly

Pedal through any Dutch city, and it feels like it’s always been filled with red cycle paths. But the fact is urban cycling infrastructure didn’t exist anywhere until 1975, when a trial project in Tilburg laid the basis of a national standard for legibility, comfort, and status for people on bikes.🧵

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles along a red asphalt cycling-priority street in Tilburg after dark. The route is lined with two-storey houses, trees and plantings, lighting fixtures, and parked bikes.

Democrats control every lever of state government, and the party platform champions bold, popular reforms, like single-payer healthcare and universal pre-K. ​​​And yet, year after year, the Statehouse blocks even the most broadly supported bills. www.shadowsdoc.com

For many, public transit isn't an option — it's their only choice. My Freedom to Move Act with @markey.senate.gov would make fare-free transit a reality, build on successful pilot programs in Boston & MA, and help folks access essential resources like jobs, school, child care, & more.
