Lewis Hine was a sociologist and photographer who documented laborers and the conditions they worked in across America in the early 1900's. He was a staff photographer for the National Child Labor Committee for a while, and he photographed child laborers in an effort to enact social and legal reforms to protect children.
Several of his photographs live rent free in my head, so I'm putting them here!
Newsies at Skeeters Branch, St. Louis, Missouri
This is probably the photo I think about the most. Newsboys were considered independent contractors, and so weren't subject to labor laws. Any papers they bought, they couldn't sell back, so if they didn't sell all their papers for the day, they had a loss. Hine took several pictures of newsboys.
Top: Roland, Eleven Year Old Negro Newsboy, Newark, N.J. Bottom: Self-Portrait with Newsboy.
Left: Breaker Boys in Coal Mine, South Pittston, Pennsylvania Right: Drivers and Mules, Gary, W. Va
Breaker boys, as the name implies, broke large chunks of coal into more uniform sizes and sorted out impurities. Breaker boys were mainly children, though elderly and injured miners would also sometimes be employed as breakers. Boys might start as a breaker boy, but as they got older, they would often move on to different, more physically demanding jobs in the mine.
Some pictures of tiny children working.

Left: 7-year old Rosie, oyster shucker, Bluffton, South Carolina
Right: Noon in East Side factory district, New York
Icarus Atop Empire State Building, 1931
Not all of Hine's pictures were of children. He took plenty of pictures of adults, too. This one is pretty spectacular, and very dramatically named.
Mt. Holyoke, Massachusetts - Paragon Rubber Co. and American Character Doll. Building rubber doll moulds.
I really like this one because of the row of doll legs. It's amusing to look at. That, and the worker has massive arms. Fabulous.
Power House Mechanic
Another worker with excellent arms. According to the Brooklyn Museum, "The clean muscularity and precise industrial order presented by Lewis Hine in Power House Mechanic demonstrates the photographer’s shift, in 1919, from a gritty documentary style to what he called “interpretive photography”—an approach intended to raise the stature of industrial workers, who were increasingly diminished by the massive machinery they operated."
Soldier Thrown in Air, 1917
This picture really captures the joy of the moment and I like that.
Colored School at Anthoston, Kentucky, 1916.
I love pictures of old schools. My favorite are when all the students and the teacher are lined up in front of the school. This one has the kids inside the school, which is just as good. Here is a little history about African-American schools in Henderson County, Kentucky, which is where Anthoston is located.
about me: hiii my name is aini and i'm 17 years old! this is my blog for sharing the media and music i like (more as an archive) and i'm looking to find others with a similar interest! I love all things 80s and 90s and I'm a pretty big fan of japanese media. I'm currently studying literature, fine art and geography at school, and I'm looking to study graphic design at uni. But in the meantime i like to do character illustrations and paintings.

i'll try to keep this post updated if anything changes! links to socials:
Clive knew he had much better things to do than this.
No, really, he did. It’s just that his brother rarely told him anything about himself these days that Clive had to take it upon himself to find out if he should have anything to worry about. Because the last time Joshua came home to visit, he brought a girlfriend.
Or at least, that’s what their mother assumed. Wouldn’t let the poor boy get a word in as she lectured him endlessly about not whiling away his college days because life was already hard enough as it was, and his transcript needed to be perfect if he wanted to land a lucrative career. Never mind that her older son already failed her on that aspect—not that she ever had any high expectations of Clive to begin with, but Joshua was different.
Jote was just a friend, Joshua had insisted. Someone he had shared some classes at college with. Nothing more than that. The insistent way he had made his point, however, made Clive all the more suspicious.
Which led to today—Joshua and his “friend” going out early to catch an afternoon movie, and Clive discreetly tailing them. Well, as discreetly as he could, of course, because his figure didn’t exactly scream discreet, what with his imposing figure and his “prominent pecs,” as Gav called them. He even shaved and bought a new polo shirt for the occasion.
Even Jill thought this was a bad idea, and she was usually supportive of him and his dumb antics. Well, too late for that now.
Clive hid behind one of the electronic displays as he watched Joshua and Jote buy their tickets, following the two with his gaze until they entered their designated theater. “Cinema 1,” he took note as he came out of hiding and lined up at the counter. All he had to do now was get a seat with a good vantage point of the two, and his job was (mostly) done. Joshua said he’d be home by five, after all, which would be around the time the movie ended.
He finally reached the front of the ticket booth. “Let’s see, Cinema 1… Miss, I’d like one ticket to whatever’s playing there, please.”
The girl took one look at him and continued chewing her gum. “You sure, Mister? Wouldn’t expect a hunk like you to watch Barbee, but okay.”
“Barbee?! Wait, I didn’t—”
“Are you buying or not? I don’t got all day, Mister.”
“I—” If this was Clive’s punishment for committing the sin of stalking his own brother (for pure purposes, he swore), then he… had no choice but to accept it willingly. He was already too far in the game to back out, after all. A small part of him wished he had listened to Jill, but there’s no point in regretting that anymore.
But the more important mission of finding out about Joshua and Jote was way more important than his silly pride! Clive’s conscience couldn’t let him watch his brother fall from grace before their mother. (He was overreacting, of course.) A certain manga he had read had the older brother main character do all sorts of shady things just to protect his twin sister, and he was called a siscon for it. Hell if he didn’t understand how that felt now.
To hell with it. Swallow his pride it is, then. “Yes. One ticket to—”
“—Barbee, please. And make that two.”
Clive yelped at the unexpected interruption, instantly turning to the source of the voice. Dion Lesage nodded at him amusedly, then smoothly handed over his card to the ticket girl, who immediately swooned as she swiped it and printed their tickets. “T-Thank you, sirs. Enjoy your show.”
He was still dumbstruck when Dion gently pulled him along away from the booth. What in the Founder’s name was Joshua’s other friend doing here? (He’d also denied any romantic attraction towards Dion exactly the way he did towards Jote now, so maybe Clive was right to be suspicious, after all.) “I’ve been watching the three of you since half an hour ago, and I must say your tailing skills still leave a lot to be desired,” Dion remarked dryly, handing Clive a pair of thick glasses. “Non-prescription. They’re Terence’s. Don’t break them.”
Clive looked around him, and spied Dion’s boyfriend seated on one of the benches. He looked up from whatever he was reading and waved. Clive sighed. “So I was too conspicuous, huh.”
“Very much so, I’m afraid. Now let’s get popcorn before they close the doors on us. You also owe me dinner after this.”
“I didn’t ask—” Clive started, but was silenced at once by Dion’s withering glare. “Fine. Two buckets of salted caramel popcorn, plus dinner. Sound good?”
“Yes,” Dion finally smirked, satisfied with his win. “In exchange, I’ll teach you how to tail people without getting spotted. You’ll be getting your money’s worth, I assure you.”
“Okay, okay, I get it.” Clive huffed to himself, shaking his head at the unexpected turn of events. Perhaps this was for the best, though. This… alliance, if he could call it that, certainly had its merits, and he felt he was going to come out of it a better man. Probably, if Jill and Gav didn’t find out about today, of course.

2018年10月25日公開収録されたNHK BSプレミアム『The Covers'Fes.2018』で8年ぶりに、一夜限りの復活を果たした、「目を閉じておいでよ」と「女ぎつねon the Run」を演奏。いまみちによると、この日メンバー全員のスケジュールが空いていたことにより、出演できる環境ができたとのこと。11月21日、1988年東京ドーム公演の模様を収録した映像作品『BARBEE BOYS IN TOKYO DOME 1988.08.22』が発売。
2019年9月8日、同年12月18日に29年ぶりのアルバム『PlanBee』リリースを発表、11月8日に同作から先行シングルとして「無敵のヴァレリー」が配信限定で発売。
2020年1月13日、国立代々木競技場第一体育館(東京都)にてワンマンライブ『突然こんなところは嫌いかい?』が開催された。
During discussion of agenda items, Rodriguez, who was backed by the conservative group Moms for Liberty during last year's election, said it's the "adults propagating the racism." She also accused teachers of "repackaging (Critical Race Theory)" and "just renaming it."
"We do not want to have equity and inclusion in our schools," Rodriguez said. "We want to keep our schools traditional, the way that they were, we don't want any of the woke or the indoctrination."
Earlier this month, the board made national headlines when Rodriguez reported a fifth-grade teacher, Jenna Barbee, to the Florida Department of Education for showing the Disney movie “Strange World” to her class.
The animated movie, which focuses on a family of explorers and their relationship to the environment, also contains a character who has a crush on another boy.
Thank you for participating! I hope you enjoy my little music suggestions ❤ Purely based on vibes (and my personal feelings) I'll give them these songs:
