I love this artist's style 😮🩷

I agree 100% 😁

It shows a woman preparing to drive a spike into a man's head. Jael and Sisera by Artemisia Gentileschi (1620)

It shows two women holding a man down, while one of them kills him. Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi (1613)

It shows two women attempting to hide the severed head of a man. Judith and Her Maidservant by Artemisia Gentileschi (1646)

Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian painter who, after being raped by her mentor, began painting herself into historical scenes where a man was killed by a woman.

I deeply appreciate this level of feminine rage. 🥹

That is blessed ☺️

I think you're talking about my childhood. I grew up in Indiana.

I would go to that show. 😂

It shows a mouse with it's mouth open, like it's singing.

Additional Facts:

The mice were so popular that Queen Victoria summoned them to the palace to perform for her children. The mice remained silent in front of the royals.

This fascinated Victorians, but modern scientists know they were hearing mating calls—not singing.

It shows a mouse with its mouth open...like it's singing.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, singing mice were discovered in the slums of London.

To those individuals who heard them sing, their melody was described as being comparable to that of a canary.

The mice were put on display for paying audiences.

I would consider that money well spent. 😮

Btw:

I just began working on it, so don't expect it anytime soon. 🤭

I'm also going to publish it traditionally, which might increase the wait time.

It's been a minute since I made a dating profile. Also, who needs outside. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you

Thank you Tony! I hope you have a nice and relaxing Sunday too! 😁

It shows a Victorian era woman wearing a "witch" costume, while holding a broom.

I’m thrilled to share my next project—Witchy Women of the Victorian Era: Real Women Who Refused to Behave.

This full-length nonfiction work will be a deep dive into the lives of Victorian women who defied the rules, rewrote expectations, and refused to fit in.

I imagine starvation was rampant during that time.

This is Bread Worries by Anna Sahlstén (1895).

It depicts a man worrying about feeding his family, as he slowly starves to death.

How does this make you feel?

It shows the gravestone of an unbaptized baby placed just outside the cemetery wall.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, not every child was granted a place in consecrated ground.

Infants who died before baptism—no matter how brief their lives—were often buried apart, sometimes just beyond the cemetery wall.

Do you find this a bit harsh? 🥺

This is incredibly fascinating! 😮

Looking into their eyes feels like making a personal connection with someone we could never otherwise know.

That's a fresh take 😮

I'm pretty sure Puppy would just sleep on it. He's a very minimal effort kind of cat. 😂

I get that. I always go out of my way to please whoever I'm with too. ☺️

That would win me over too. I'm a sucker for stuffed animals and I love the idea of being an adoptive cow mom. 😍

Good morning Tony! I hope you have a lovely Saturday too! 😁

How do you interpret this Rasputina song?

I interpret it as the subject being someone trying to go on after surviving a sexual assault.

Others think it describes losing someone.

What are your thoughts?
