sad girl life

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

🪰 Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Amphibien in ihren sämmtlichen Hauptformen Wien: Kaiserl. Koenigl. Hof- und Staatsdr., 1864 Original source Image description: Illustration from an 1864 natural history atlas depicting two turtles labeled as Fig. 124 and Fig. 125. Fig. 124 shows the head and upper body of a turtle with a distinctive, curved beak and a segmented, brownish shell. Fig. 125 presents a darker turtle with a smoother, segmented shell and a smaller, less pronounced head. Both turtles are shown in a naturalistic style against a shaded background suggesting rocks and foliage. The text identifies the species as Platemys cephalus and Pelodiscus cusputus, highlighting their anatomical differences. The image is detailed, emphasizing shell texture and limb structure.

Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one “worthless” crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.

um?
