Unik och fantastisk handkolorerad antik litografi av Jesu korsfästelse. Original. Publicerad av Druck u. Verlag u Ed.Gust May ca 1880. Ramad. Klara och vackra färger. Tysk text - Christus am kreuz. Liten skada höger om Jesu fot. Fuktfläck nedre vänster hörn. I övrigt se foto. Ramens mått: 40x31 cm.
Företaget grundades den 22 december 1845 av autodidakterna i litografi Eduard Gustav May (1818-1907) i Great Hirschgraben med en gammal handpress. Inledningsvis maj publicerade konstverk efter verk av Frankfurt artister. Den första stora verksamheten ägde rum maj 1848 med utgivaren Keller, syn på PaulskircheParlamentet och porträtt av ledamöter. Sedan köpte maj sex nya pressar, som han ofta skrivit händelsebilder och politiska tecknade filmer i stort antal. På 1850-talet producerade företaget förutom färgade konstnärsillustrationer, en porträttserie av Frankfurt dignitaries och artister. År 1860 flyttade företaget till en ny byggnad i Eschersheimer Landstraße 28/32. Vid den här tiden började maj också producera delikat färgad gengrafik för övre middagsheminredning.
Från 1850 till 1863 var Johann Gustav Wirsing en samarbetspartner till företaget, nu kallade May & Wirsing. Tack vare Wirsings kapitalstöd kunde företaget utvecklas till en bildfabrik. De flesta av de populära grafik var skildringar av helgon och bibliska motiv för katolskt land hus. De vardagliga motiven inkluderade genremålningar, barns scener, djurmotiv, landskap och havslandskap. Från 1864 kallade företaget EG maj. År 1870 installerades den första snabbpressen, vilket accelererade produktens resultat. En del av varorna exporterades utomlands, från 1870 till Spanien och utomlands. Det tysk-franska kriget erbjöd chansen att massproducera kamp bilder och prinsporträtt.
Efter avgången av EG maj 1878 tog hans två söner, Robert och Franz, över företaget, nu känt som EG May Söhne. I 1880 avstod Mays all den gamla produktionen, bara för att fokusera på Chromolithography-verksamheten. Drevs i sin form till 1914.

Mothering Sunday
Some of the women victims of brutal attacks in and or around London's Whitechapel area between 1873 and 1891 were mothers. They had children who loved and cared about, but as their lives were cut short, neither the mothers and neither their children could enjoy a loving relationship. They are the following ones:
Annie Chapman: Emily Ruth (b. 25 June 1870 - d. ca. 1882), Annie Georgina (b. 5 June 1873), John Alfred (b. 21 November 1880).
Catherine Eddowes: Catherine Ann (b. 18 April 1863), Thomas Lawrence (b. 8 December 1867), George (b. 15 August 1873), Frederick William (b. 21 February 1877).

Philippine–American War (1899–1902) USA v. Philippines because we won you from Spain in the last war; screw you if you’re a native on the island.

USA arriving very late in the “War to End All Wars”. “Thanks for nothing,” said the allies, “But please; take all the credit.”
Russian Civil War (1918–1920) USA & Europe v. Bolshevik Russia which didn’t end well for the USA & allies. We totally lost that one.
Last Indian Uprising (1923) USA v. Native Americans in Utah because we’d rather have Mormons than the Ute and the Paiute tribes.
World War II (1939–1945)
USA fights Japan covertly in the Pacific, aiding China against Japanese aggression. USA assists Britain and occupied Europe against the FASCIST regimes of Hitler’s Nazis and Mussolini in Italy and fucks off until the Attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941. “Oh, THIS shit again?” asks Europe. “Showing up late YET AGAIN, but sure; hey, USA, take all the credit yet again. Seriously, fuck you guys. Thanks for the assist, but we could have saved millions of lives of you’d gotten of your fat asses YEARS ago!”
Korean War (1950–1953) USA v. N. Korea in a proxy war with the USSR and China because fuck those commies, right? We won, even though they kicked our asses and a formal treaty was NEVER signed so technically the war is actually STILL ON.
Laotian Civil War (1953–1975) USA v. Laos and those commie scumbags. Yep. We don’t talk about this one because we LOST.

Simba rebellion, Operation Dragon Rouge (1964) USA and EU Allies v. S.E. Asia in amounted to a total clusterfuck that dissolved Vietnam and was a precursor there as well as other areas. It helped the rise of dictators all throughout the region. Khmer Rouge anyone?
Vietnam War (1955–1975) USA, S. Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand etc. v. China-backed, USSR backed N. Vietnam. The Imperialist WEST v. the Communist EAST. That ended in a shit-show for the West like all proxy wars in southeast Asia do.
Communist insurgency in Thailand (1965–1983) USA/Local allies v. China/ally backed communist rebels. Pretty much a draw that petered out and Communism didn’t really stick... sort of.
Korean DMZ Conflict (1966–1969) USA v. N. Korea because they attempted to convince the S. Koreans to rise up and join the North, throwing out the WEST. No dice for them.
Dominican Civil War (1965–1966) USA v. Dom. Republic insurgents to restore Dem elected government. It worked so well that we would decide never to really do that sort of thing again when doing it the opposite way gets us more money.
Insurgency in Bolivia (1966–1967) USA (CIA) & Bolivia stomp out Che Guevara because we’ll have none of this uprising shit.

Multinational Intervention in Lebanon (1982–1984) USA joins the U/N to shaft the P.L.O. and Muslims in Lebanon because fuck them and we love Israel.
Invasion of Grenada (1983) USA v. Cuban-backed commie bastards who overthrew the democratically elected government. I know we said we wouldn’t do that again, but we hate Cuba more than these guys.
Action in the Gulf of Sidra (1986) USA v. Libya because fuck you, Qaddafi, and that bullshit line in the water. We’re sending a carrier group in to show YOU where the REAL line is.
Bombing of Libya (1986) USA v. Libya because they keep bombing shit around Europe and they make us keep coming back. France still likes Libya and wouldn’t let US fighters through their airspace as they left German air bases. US pilots were a bit fatigued having to go around the long way and ‘accidentally’ bombed the French Embassy in Libya...
Tanker War (1987–1988) USA v. Iran because fuck them, that’s why. Iran & Iraq were duking it out and Iran thought shooting at US and allied shipping would be good fun. USS Vincennes then shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing 290 passengers; 66 of which were children. Yeah, we totally fucked that up hard-core.
Tobruk encounter (1989) USA v. Libya. Again. That line. US F-14′s splash their MIGs. Now, stay. Good Libya.
Invasion of Panama (1989–1990) USA v. Panama dictator Manuel Noriega because he’s an evil cunt. No, not really. It was because he wouldn’t play ball with the US and the CIA. He was a drug lord anyway so fuck him.
Gulf War (1990–1991) USA & Allies v. Iraq because Saddam Hussein needed his dick slapped the fuck back out of Kuwait, a US & EU ally.
Iraqi No-Fly Zone Enforcement Operations (1991–2003) USA v. Iraq, because every now and then we had to go blow up some of their shit and keep them in their place.
First U.S. Intervention in the Somali Civil War (1992–1995) USA & Allies v. Somalia because why not? Lots of shooting, lots of dead, and nothing accomplished. The war is STILL going on.
Bosnian War (1992–1995) USA v. Bosnian, post USSR dictators because the US/NATO won’t act until AFTER the genocides...
Intervention in Haiti (1994–1995) USA v. Haiti, because damn it, we’ll restore your democratically elected government and put down that coup... for a price...
Kosovo War (1998–1999) USA and a fuck ton of allies v. Russia-backed Yugoslavia because human rights violations are for US southern CSA states only, fuckers. We sort of won this ‘contest’.
Operation Infinite Reach (1998) USA v. Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, because fuck those ‘towelheads’ we helped push out the Russians! How dare they turn on us imperialists when we treat them like peasants and shit on them? What nerve! How will Big Pharma keep up their poppy fields now? This means war...
THE 21st CENTURY
War in Afghanistan (2001–present)
2003 invasion of Iraq (2003) &  Iraq War (2003–2011)
War in North-West Pakistan (2004–present)
Second U.S. Intervention in the Somali Civil War (2007–present)
Operation Ocean Shield (2009–2016) USA v. Somali pirates
International intervention in Libya (2011) Because enough, Qaddafi. 
Operation Observant Compass (2011–2017) USA v. Uganda because of terrorist camps
American-led intervention in Iraq (2014–present) USA v. ISIS/ISIL in Iraq. Thanks, Obama; right?
American-led intervention in Syria (2014–present) USA v. ISIS/ISIL in Syria where we rounded up lots of ‘terrorist’ fighters.
Yemeni Civil War (2015–present)
American intervention in Libya (2015–present) USA v/ ISIS/ISIL in Libya. It’s as if the war in Iraq pissed off a ton of people in the region along with Israel’s expansion into Palestine territory over the years... Go figure.
THE TRUMP YEARS
Despite fucking over our allies in Syria and being far too cozy with Putin and Kim Jong Un and other dictators, sympathizing with Nazis in the US and having the KKK in his blood, trumplefuckstick hasn’t actually pushed any “NEW” wars upon the US so far. Sure, we’re in a state of chaos and about to collapse into a failed nation-state into that “shithole country” everyone thinks can’t happen here.
The point is:
“HEY JOE FUCKIN’ BIDEN! I DON’T MEAN TO THROW YOU OFF YOUR GAME HERE BUT WHILE I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE, IT SEEMS THAT AS AMERICANS, IT’S THE ONLY WAY WE DO THINGS HERE TO GET SHIT DONE!”
Tumblr media
Still don’t believe me? How about some non-war stuff...
How about EVERY act of white supremacist, KKK driven TERROR on non-whites since the Civil War ended or of the slave owners before them?
How about how our first real “police” in the US were bounty hunters looking for runaway slaves?
How about the Tulsa race massacre when white mobs attacked the black residents and business of the Greenwood District in Tulsa because the good people of Oklahoma didn’t want them “uppity niggers” to be doing as well or better than the white racist fucks were doing. That learned ‘em, didn’t it?
Let’s not forget the anti-union suppression! How about the  Herrin Massacre? During a United Mineworkers of America nationwide strike union miners shot at strikebreakers working at the mine. The mine's guards killed three union miners on June 21, and the miners killed 20 strikebreakers and guards on June 22.
What about the Hanapepe Massacre? During a strike of Filipino sugar workers, in an attempt to rescue two hostage strikebreakers police killed 16 strikers, while strikers killed four law enforcement members.
Kent State shootings: During a protest of the bombing of Cambodia at the University, members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire, killing four and injuring nine people.
Jackson State University shooting: After responding to the University due to a growing unrest, officers opened fire on a dorm building and two students (one from a local high school) were killed and twelve were injured.
There are more, to be sure, but Mr. Biden, you ARE correct in one particular field here- gun violence. Look at this list HERE. So many acts of mass shootings going WAY back before Columbine. What’s been done about this by you, the Democrats or Republicans of the piece-of-shit NRA? Fuck-all NOTHING.
Your truth, Mr. Biden- in this instance, gun violence literally achieves NOTHING.

Charles Edward Perugini (British painter) 1839 - 1918 Playing at Work, ca. 1872 oil on canvas 82.5 x 154.6 cm. National Museums Liverpool, United Kingdom Perugini was born in Naples, but lived with his family in England from the ages of six to seventeen. He trained in Italy under Giuseppe Bonolis and Giuseppe Mancinelli, and in Paris under Ary Scheffer. He became a protégé of Lord Leighton, who brought him back to England in 1863. Perugini may at first have worked as Leighton's studio assistant. Under Leighton's influence, he began as a painter of classical scenes; then "he turned to the more profitable pastures of portrait painting, and genre pictures of pretty women and children." In 1874, he married the youngest daughter of novelist Charles Dickens; as Kate Perugini she pursued her own artistic career, sometimes collaborating with her husband. Perugini's 1878 picture A Girl Reading, perhaps his best-known single work, is in the collection of the Manchester Art Gallery. It was bequeathed by James Thomas Blair in 1917. Perugini's portrait of Sophy Gray, the sister-in-law of Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais, was for many years mistaken for a work by Millais himself. Perugini and his wife maintained an active social life in artistic circles of their era.

Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.
In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became her lifelong friend and co-worker in social reform activities, primarily in the field of women's rights. In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was female. In 1863, they founded the Women's Loyal National League, which conducted the largest petition drive in United States history up to that time, collecting nearly 400,000 signatures in support of the abolition of slavery. In 1866, they initiated the American Equal Rights Association, which campaigned for equal rights for both women and African Americans. In 1868, they began publishing a women's rights newspaper called The Revolution. In 1869, they founded the National Woman Suffrage Association as part of a split in the women's movement. In 1890, the split was formally healed when their organization merged with the rival American Woman Suffrage Association to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association, with Anthony as its key force. In 1876, Anthony and Stanton began working with Matilda Joslyn Gage on what eventually grew into the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage. The interests of Anthony and Stanton diverged somewhat in later years, but the two remained close friends.
In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in her hometown of Rochester, New York, and convicted in a widely publicized trial. Although she refused to pay the fine, the authorities declined to take further action. In 1878, Anthony and Stanton arranged for Congress to be presented with an amendment giving women the right to vote. Introduced by Sen. Aaron A. Sargent (R-CA), it later became known colloquially as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It was eventually ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.
Anthony traveled extensively in support of women's suffrage, giving as many as 75 to 100 speeches per year and working on many state campaigns. She worked internationally for women's rights, playing a key role in creating the International Council of Women, which is still active. She also helped to bring about the World's Congress of Representative Women at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
When she first began campaigning for women's rights, Anthony was harshly ridiculed and accused of trying to destroy the institution of marriage. Public perception of her changed radically during her lifetime, however. Her 80th birthday was celebrated in the White House at the invitation of President William McKinley. She became the first female citizen to be depicted on U.S. coinage when her portrait appeared on the 1979 dollar coin.

My little planet, Galust Mkhitaryan
I created a "world list". Even many famous and good people did not get into this work, but they are much more on the list, I'll draw the next time. In the picture all the colors, all the styles in the painting. 252 people, 252 masterpieces, portraits. in this picture are depicted 252 influential people of our planet. People who created our world. The painting is a real museum exhibit, where he painted 252 masterpieces. The very first king from the Mesopotamia, known science Alilum a2 - Lu-Lim XXX BC famous Gilgamesh XXVII-XXVI and the first pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt Menes. in my list found the places Iisus Hristos, Muhammad, In the list I painted portraits of great scientists and artists. Great artists and athletes. My heroes, from all over the world and states. There are heroes from China, America, from Central America, from Europe, from Russia. from Armenia and from the East. Successful businessmen of all time, the famous Morgan, Rockefeller and today's Mark Zucemberg. In the picture I drew and negative people in the negative form is Hitler, this is Stalin is Lenin and others. Features of the picture. Thanks to my work, many ancient heroes found their faces. Based on ancient sketches, sculptures and bas-reliefs, I created their faces. Now, Kleopatra,. Tutankhamen, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi have their scientific faces. I was inspired to this work by a portrait of SirWinston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin. After I thought of drawing all the influential people. In the picture, I decided to use different styles, and genres for a change. I also want to show the world to the whole world that the 1915 scum of the Turks cut out such a talented people as the Armenians, and I drew representatives of the Armenian people such as Aram Khacaturyan Charles Aznavour Michel Legrand and many Armenian origins. This is my list of the World, I believe that it is necessary to create such a picture list and make people happy, so that everyone can see on one canvas at once. In the future I will draw even more people, many modern people who did not get into the picture let me be forgiven, because this was the first work. and was very difficult. I think that the picture will be very interesting and attractive. People will walk with phones, turn on the Internet and look for those who are pictured in the picture. At the opening of the exhibition, there will be a queue for viewing portraits. This picture I spent 7 months enjoying the viewers, I dream that people learn from newspapers and from the Internet go and look at this work, in any city where I go to show, there will be numerous views. I specifically tried to draw different styles and techniques. I documented the video snapshots sent by representatives of Guinness World Records. I hope that a positive response will come and I will set a record., The real value of the picture is 1 million Euro. I in other sites exhibited a picture for a million dollars. In Saatchi there is a limit of 100 thousand dollars, so I put out 100 thousand. If in the Saatchi Site the first person who buys something I will sell for 100 thousand dollars. .List of people 1.Gautama Budda Born c. 563 BCE or c. 480 BCE Died c. 483 BCE or c. 400 BCE 2.Maria Mother of Jesus Third quarter of de icentury BC.

hello you cunt, I just wanted to say out loud my opinion about you since it looks like no-one else will. You're a white, cis man who looks for attention while calling himself "non-binary" and wearing feminine clothing - guess what, it doesn't make you "non-binary", you're still a man! so stop pretending like you're not, you're hurting the ACTUAL non-binary people.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay first of all i take deep offense from you calling me a cis man coz i have as much in common with being one as you have with being a nice person.
anyway. heres some things you can read about he/him lesbians:  
"I like the gender neutral pronoun "ze/hir" because it makes it impossible to hold on to gender/sex/sexuality assumptions about a person you're about to meet or you've just met. And in an all trans setting, referring to me as "he/him" honors my gender expression in the same way that referring to my sister drag queens as "she/her" does.”
 “But a truly inclusive view would deconstruct the idea that pronouns are inherently indicative of gender in the first place. They are, ultimately, gendered signifiers, culturally suggestive of masculinity/maleness (he/him), femininity/femaleness (she/her), or “neutrality” (they/them, xe/xyr, zie/hir, etc.) Just as a butch lesbian might cut their hair short, wear more masculine clothing, or shorten their name to something more typically masculine, they might equally use he/him, they/them, or any other pronoun as an element of butch presentation, and/or non-binary identity.” 
other than that, i cant link you an article but you have to remember that years ago butch lesbians used he/him pronouns as a safe way to hide the fact that they’re women when they were out with their partner as a way to not get harrassed/attacked. 
and about neopronouns: 
“(...) sometime around 1850, were "ne, nis, nim", and "hiser". In 1868, "en" appeared, followed by a rush in 1884: "thon, thons", "hi, hes, hem", "le, lis, lim", "unus", "talis", "hiser, himer", "hyser, hymer", and "ip, ips".”
“(...) They came up with ou (1789), ne (ca. 1850), heesh (ca. 1860), er (1863), ve (1864), en, han, and un (1868 was a big year for pronouns), le (1871), e (1878), and ip (1884), to name just a few of the early ones.”
“Several sets of pronouns use "ne" in the nominative form. One set of "ne" pronouns is one of the oldest sets of neo-pronouns, but not all its forms were recorded: ne, nim, nis, (not recorded), (not recorded), which was created around 1850, and appeared in print in 1884.”
so, as you can see, neopronouns have been around for hundreds of years.
you also have to remember that not everyone comes from an english speaking countries, quite a few countries use languages that simply do not use gendered terms, and when they use english they chose the ones most similar/most comfortable to use.
as for it pronouns, people who use them have their own reasons as to why - usually its to reclaim the word after being called “it” by many people like transphobes who wanted to offend them, same way some gay people reclaim faggot, or lesbians reclaim dyke. 
on dysphoria:
“Go into any comment section on any transgender content, and I’ll place bets you’ll find someone decry that transgender people are mentally ill somewhere in there. If indeed gender dysphoria, a mental illness, is a requirement for being transgender, would that mean they are that far off? And, as I already stated, if you treat gender dysphoria, have you cured your transness too? Is being transgender something we really want to be curable? (...)
(...) Defining an identity by oppression and pain is not a new concept. In fact, it’s exactly what TERFs, or trans-exclusionary radical feminists, do to trans women to frame them as not women. TERFs claim that because trans women were not socialized as women since birth, have not suffered direct misogyny (and can never suffer it having not been born a woman), they can never claim to be a woman. (...)
It’s also worth mentioning that requiring gender dysphoria as a requirement for being transgender also creates a eurocentric view of being transgender. It forgets the idea of two-spirits, hijra, and kathoeys and the long histories they bring, and the differing paths taken to discover those genders.” 
“Not all transgender people suffer from gender dysphoria and that distinction is important to keep in mind. Gender dysphoria and/or coming out as transgender can occur at any age.”
“For some transgender people, the difference between the gender they are thought to be at birth and the gender they know themselves to be can lead to serious emotional distress that affects their health and everyday lives if not addressed. Gender dysphoria is the medical diagnosis for someone who experiences this distress.Not all transgender people have gender dysphoria. On its own, being transgender is not considered a medical condition. Many transgender people do not experience serious anxiety or stress associated with the difference between their gender identity and their gender of birth, and so may not have gender dysphoria.”
and last thing, you simply do not have any rights to claim what person i am or am not. my gender identity and my sexuality are my things, not yours to tell me. you dont know me in real life, im sure of that, so you have absolutely nothing to base yourself on other than selfies i post on here, but for clarification: i am not a cis man. ive never been a binary man. i do not have a dick or naturally flat chest, i am on hormones and after surgery to accomplish flat chest.
i dont really identify with a specific gender or sexuality, so i just say im nonbinary to signify that without going into specifics. i say im gay because my boyfriend is a guy and because of hormones im usually male passing, even though i don’t identify as a man attracted strictly to other men. 
and honestly? i know many trans people who use they/them or neopronouns as theyre also nonbinary. neopronouns aren’t “confusing”, you’re just an asshole. if you think about it, “he” and “she” at one point in history were also neopronouns.
as to emoji pronouns - they’re used online, as it’d be impossible to use irl (for example a person using 🌸 pronouns could use flower/flowerself irl, or any other pronouns) and yes, they are newer than others, but that doesnt mean theyre less important, theyre just another way of presenting yourself!

Arrivals & Departures 15 February 1820 – 13 March 1906 Celebrate Susan B. Anthony Day!
Susan B. Anthony (15 February 1820 – 13 March 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.
In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became her lifelong friend and co-worker in social reform activities, primarily in the field of women's rights. In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was female. In 1863, they founded the Women's Loyal National League, which conducted the largest petition drive in United States history up to that time, collecting nearly 400,000 signatures in support of the abolition of slavery. In 1866, they initiated the American Equal Rights Association, which campaigned for equal rights for both women and African Americans. In 1868, they began publishing a women's rights newspaper called The Revolution. In 1869, they founded the National Woman Suffrage Association as part of a split in the women's movement. In 1890, the split was formally healed when their organization merged with the rival American Woman Suffrage Association to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association, with Anthony as its key force. In 1876, Anthony and Stanton began working with Matilda Joslyn Gage on what eventually grew into the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage. The interests of Anthony and Stanton diverged somewhat in later years, but the two remained close friends.
In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in her hometown of Rochester, New York, and convicted in a widely publicized trial. Although she refused to pay the fine, the authorities declined to take further action. In 1878, Anthony and Stanton arranged for Congress to be presented with an amendment giving women the right to vote. Introduced by Sen. Aaron A. Sargent (R-CA), it later became known colloquially as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It was ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.
Anthony traveled extensively in support of women's suffrage, giving as many as 75 to 100 speeches per year and working on many state campaigns.

A tentative timeline of Mary’s life:
born 1863 in the Laramie territory as firstborn daughter to Hester and Samuel Gillis
1877: brother Jamie born
1878: Hester Gillis dies of yellow fever
1880-1889 (ca. age 17-26): courtship with Arthur, ending in a canceled engagement
1890 (age 27): marriage to Bartholomew (Barry) Linton, a childhood friend
1897: Barry dies of pneumonia
1899: events of RDR.2
1907: Samuel Gillis dies of a gunshot wound
tbc.
The Laramie territory is my headcanon for what’s north of Ambarino and the Grizzlies and is a stand-in for Wyoming, basically.

Đường Catinat, con đường xưa và nổi tiếng nhất Sài Gòn thời Pháp thuộc
Trong số hàng trăm con đường của Sài Gòn, đường Catinat (xưa là đường Đồng Khởi) là một trong số rất ít những con đường kỳ cựu nhất. Nó hiện diện từ trước khi Pháp đánh chiếm Sài Gòn và tầm quan trọng của nó trải dài từ thời Pháp thuộc cho đến bây giờ.Trong quyển “Nam kỳ phong tục nhơn vật diễn ca” (NXB. Đinh Thái Sơn, Sài Gòn, 1909), nhà nghiên cứu âm nhạc cổ truyền Việt Nam thời Pháp thuộc Nguyễn Liên Phong đã mô tả đoạn đầu đường Catinat vào đầu thế kỷ 20 như sau:“Nhứt là đường Ca-ti-na,Hai bên lầu các, phố nhà phân minh..Máy may mấy chỗ quá nhiều,Các tiệm tủ ghế dập dều phô trươngĐồ sành, đồ cẩn, đồ đương [đan]Đồ thêu, đồ chạm trữ thường thiếu chi..Nhà in, nhà thuộc, nhà chà,Nhà hàng ăn ngủ với nhà lạc son”Theo nhiều tư liệu thì “Rue Catinat” được xem là con đường xưa và nổi tiếng nhất Sài Gòn. Đây cũng là con đường đầu tiên được thiết lập khi Pháp quy hoạch lại thành phố sau khi chiếm được và phá thành Sài Gòn. Còn được gọi là “Rue no. 16” lúc ban đầu cho đến khi là con đường được tráng nhựa đầu tiên, “Rue Catinat” nhanh chóng trở thành trung tâm sinh hoạt thương mại của thành phố.
Tumblr media
Năm 1861, khi Sài Gòn lọt vào tay quân Pháp thì con đường này đã có một quá trình dài góp mặt vào sinh hoạt của cư dân địa phương. Nó được biết đến nhiều vì ở đầu con đường, nơi giáp với bờ sông (sông Sài Gòn), từng là nơi vua nhà Nguyễn đến nghỉ ngơi và … tắm (Bến Ngự). Tuy nhiên, từ trước năm 1865, nó cùng 25 con đường khác chỉ mang số thứ tự kế tiếp nhau, từ 1 đến 26. Phải chờ đến ngày 1.2.1865, Đề đốc De La Grandière mới đặt tên cho từng con đường một và con đường số 16 lần đầu tiên mang tên Catinat. Nhiều người không rõ xuất xứ của tên này. Theo một số sử liệu, Catinat là tên một thống chế Pháp sinh năm 1637 và mất năm 1712, phục vụ dưới thời vua Louis XIV. Giữa thế kỷ XIX, Pháp lấy tên Catinat đặt cho một chiếc tàu chiến từng tham gia trận đánh Sài Gòn năm 1859 và dựa vào chi tiết này, De La Grandière đặt cho con đường số 16 tên Catinat (trường hợp tương tự cũng xảy ra với rạch Thị Nghè, được Pháp gọi là Arroyo d’Avalanche).Một trong những tác giả Pháp đầu tiên là Pallu de la Barrière đã miêu tả con đường số 16 này vào năm 1861 như sau: “Du khách đến Sài Gòn nhìn thấy bên hữu ngạn con sông một loại đường phố mà hai bên bị đứt quãng bởi những khoảng trống lớn. Phần lớn nhà cửa làm bằng cây lợp lá cọ ngắn; số khác ít hơn, làm bằng đá. ái nhà lợp bằng ngói đỏ làm vui mắt và tạo được cảm giác yên bình…”. Tính cách quan trọng của con đường Catinat thể hiện ở chỗ nó được thực dân Pháp sử dụng làm trung tâm của bộ máy thuộc địa. Đầu tiên, vào năm 1863, ở vạt đất nằm giữa hai con đường Mossard (nay là Nguyễn Du) và Gouverneur (sau là De La Grandlière, Gia Long, nay là Lý Tự Trọng), họ dựng lên dinh Thủy sư Đề đốc, cơ quan đầu não của thực dân Pháp tại Viễn Đông, gần chiếc đồng hồ lên cái tháp trước dinh, từ đó, quảng đất trống phía trước (nay là khu đất trước mặt tiền Nhà thờ Đức Bà) được gọi là “Quảng trường Đồng hồ” (Place de l’Horloge). Ngày 15-8-1865, tại quảng trường này đã diễn ra một buổi lễ trong thể có duyệt binh do chính De La Grandière chủ trì nhằm tôn vinh Hoàng đế Pháp Napoléon III và Hoàng hậu.Năm 1864, Nha Giám đốc Nội vụ (Direction de I’ Intérieur), người dân đương thời gọi là “Dinh Thượng thơ”, được xây dựng, nhìn ra đường Catinat, ở phía đối diện dinh Thủy sư Đề đốc. Viên chức lãnh đạo cơ quan này, xét về mặt cai trị, chỉ xếp sau Thống đốc Nam Kỳ, trực tiếp chỉ huy các tham biện Pháp và quan lại Việt Nam hàng Huyện, Phủ, Đốc phủ sứ. Đầu thập niên 1880, ngay trên lộ trình con đường chạy qua, mọc lên ngôi nhà thờ Notre Dame, về sau được cư dân Sài Gòn gọi là Nhà thờ Đức Bà hay Vương cung Thánh đường. Sau lưng nhà thờ là đường Norodom (nay là Lê Duẩn), lấy tên ông hoàng xứ Cambodge (Campuchia) đến thăm Sài Gòn vào đầu năm 1867, nhân cuộc đấu xảo canh nông đầu tiên tổ chức tại đây.
Tumblr media
Năm 1886, Pháp khởi công xây trụ sở chính Sở Bưu chính và Viễn thông (nay là Bưu điện ) trên khu đất đối diện với mặt tiền nhà thờ, nằm giữa con đường Catinat và đường Paul Blanchy (nay là Hai Bà Trưng). Cuối đường Catinat, người ta nhìn thấy một tháp nước cao được xây dựng năm 1878 nhằm cung cấp nước uống cho cư dân trong vùng. Tuy nhiên, đến năm 1921, với sự phát triển của dân cư, tháp nước này không còn đáp ứng được yêu cầu nên bị đập bỏ. Ngày 1.1.1900, nhà hát Tây (nay là Nhà hát thành phố) được khánh thành trên giao lộ đường Bonard (nay là Lê Lợi) và Catinat, trở thành nơi biểu diễn thường xuyên của những đoàn hát từ phương Tây đến.Sau khi các công trình xây dựng cơ sở hạ tầng (đường xá, xe lửa), công sở, cơ quan hành chánh và thương mại được thống đốc dân sự Le Myre de Vilers (1879 – 1883) năng động khởi công và thúc đẩy hoàn thành, Sài Gòn cuối thế kỷ 19 đầu thế kỷ 20, sau hơn 35 năm bị Pháp chiếm đóng, đã trở thành một thành phố có cảnh quan được quy hoạch hài hòa, kiến trúc khu trung tâm có nhiều nét tương đồng các thành phố ở châu Âu. Thậm chí, các du khách đến từ Âu châu và Viễn Đông (chỉ các nước Đông Á) đã có cảm nhận chung Sài Gòn là “Perle de l’Orient” đối với người Pháp, hay “Paris of the East” đối với các du khách từ các quốc gia hay thuộc địa nói tiếng Anh trong vùng Viễn Đông. https://dangnho.com/doi-song/xua/duong-catinat-con-duong-xua-va-noi-tieng-nhat-sai-gon-thoi-phap-thuoc.html

Susan B. Anthony - Wikipedia                  
Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.
In 1851, she met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who became her lifelong friend and co-worker in social reform activities, primarily in the field of women's rights. In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was female. In 1863, they founded the Women's Loyal National League, which conducted the largest petition drive in United States history up to that time, collecting nearly 400,000 signatures in support of the abolition of slavery. In 1866, they initiated the American Equal Rights Association, which campaigned for equal rights for both women and African Americans. In 1868, they began publishing a women's rights newspaper called The Revolution. In 1869, they founded the National Woman Suffrage Association as part of a split in the women's movement. In 1890, the split was formally healed when their organization merged with the rival American Woman Suffrage Association to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association, with Anthony as its key force. In 1876, Anthony and Stanton began working with Matilda Joslyn Gage on what eventually grew into the six-volume History of Woman Suffrage. The interests of Anthony and Stanton diverged somewhat in later years, but the two remained close friends.
In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in her hometown of Rochester, New York, and convicted in a widely publicized trial. Although she refused to pay the fine, the authorities declined to take further action. In 1878, Anthony and Stanton arranged for Congress to be presented with an amendment giving women the right to vote. Introduced by Sen. Aaron A. Sargent (R-CA), it later became known colloquially as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.  It was ratified as the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920.
Anthony traveled extensively in support of women's suffrage, giving as many as 75 to 100 speeches per year and working on many state campaigns. She worked internationally for women's rights, playing a key role in creating the International Council of Women, which is still active. She also helped to bring about the World's Congress of Representative Women at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
When she first began campaigning for women's rights, Anthony was harshly ridiculed and accused of trying to destroy the institution of marriage. Public perception of her changed radically during her lifetime, however. Her 80th birthday was celebrated in the White House at the invitation of President William McKinley. She became the first female citizen to be depicted on U.S. coinage when her portrait appeared on the 1979 dollar coin.

Josiah Willard Gibbs’s Impact on Modern Science
American scientist Josiah Willard Gibbs made important scientific contributions to mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the 19th century and was even called “the greatest mind in American history” by Albert Einstein, the German-born theoretical physicist who relied on Gibbs’s theories for many of his own later discoveries. Gibbs’s work had a profound influence on 20th-century science and his work in statistical mechanics laid the groundwork for the development of physical chemistry as a science.
Josiah Willard Gibbs’s Life in New Haven
Josiah Willard Gibbs was born in New Haven on February 11, 1839, the only son of five children born to Josiah and Mary Anna (Van Cleve) Gibbs. Gibbs came from a prestigious family of clergymen and academics and his father was a linguist and theologian who is best remembered as the abolitionist who found an interpreter for the African captives on the Amistad–thus allowing them to testify during their trial.

At the age of 15 Gibbs entered Yale College. Excelling in mathematics and Latin, he graduated in 1858 near the top of his class, and at age 19 received induction into the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences. He remained at Yale for his graduate education and in 1863 received his doctorate—the first PhD awarded in engineering in the United States. After graduation, Gibbs became a tutor at the school and taught Latin and natural philosophy (physics). In 1866 he patented a design for a railway brake, and five years later became a professor of mathematical physics at Yale College where he remained for the rest of his life.
Pioneering the Study of Physical Chemistry
When Gibbs was 34, Transactions of the Connecticut Academy published his first work on the geometric representation of thermodynamic quantities. In the years that followed, he was published many more times, and in 1875 and 1878 the Connecticut Academy published his monograph (in two parts). The book, On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances, contained hundreds of mathematical equations and became the basis for establishing physical chemistry as a science.

Josiah Willard Gibbs made significant scientific contributions at a time when theoretical science was not easily understood or popular. Much of his research received little recognition, although he was elected into the National Academy of Sciences, he received the Rumford Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work in chemical thermodynamics, and in 1901 he received the Copley Medal (perhaps the most esteemed international medal of the time) from the British Royal Society.
Gibbs never married and apart from summering in New York’s Adirondack Mountains and New Hampshire’s White Mountains, and a European stay in the 1880s, he rarely left New Haven. He lived there (in the house where he was born) with his sister and her husband (who was also a Yale scholar).
Gibbs died relatively young, on April 28, 1903, at the age of 64, from an intestinal obstruction. He received a burial in New Haven’s historic Grove Street Cemetery. In 1912, with the help of German physicist Walther Nernst, a bronze bas-relief memorial, designed by sculptor Lee Lavrie, was installed in the Sloane Physics Laboratory at Yale to honor Gibbs’s life and work. In 1950, Gibbs received induction into the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, and, later, the United States Navy named an oceanic research ship the USNS Josiah Willard Gibbs. Perhaps most interestingly, a look up at the moon (near the eastern limb) provides a glimpse of the Gibbs Crater, named in his honor in 1964.
