This image from the American Antiquarian Society has been making the rounds on tumblr. It is a very pretty image, but I think many of the posts are overlooking the fact that it is a very cynical, anti-woman image. More space is given to vanity than discretion and good sense combined. Coquetry, which implies selfishness and a lack of morals, takes up as much space as all of the good qualities a woman might possess. Selfishness covers a large area, but selflessness is entirely absent. There is a Sea of Wealth, a river of Drain the Purse, and a river of Willful Waste. Although a small region is devoted to platonic affection, motherly and familial love are entirely absent. The drawing says women are untrustworthy, manipulative, shallow, and selfish.
The drawing is credited to “a lady,” but it seems unlikely a woman created it. The lithographer, David Wright Kellogg, would have been in his late 20s to mid 30s at the time of publication and likely still single. He married later in life and had two daughters. Somehow I doubt this is the image he hung in the parlor.
Honestly the coolest thing I’ve ever had to do as a school assignment. This is something that actually matters…meaning with some significance to our lives, not something I’m just doing for a grade
and I feel so powerful predicting the future muahahaha
A group of Christians showed up at a Chicago gay pride parade in July.
They were holding up signs saying “I’m sorry that Christians judge you”
“I’m sorry for how the churches treated you” and “I used to be a bible-banging homophobe, I’m sorry”
Just when you’re beginning to lose faith in humanity, something like this shows up.
Never not reblog
it’s people like these who make the world happier.

The “Steel Trees” on Stephen Avenue.
Most people don’t know that they’re actually designed to help reduce wind gusts between the buildings.
Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,
“Take what you want.”The first engineer nodded approvingly and said,
“Good choice, The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”
