They had not been seen together in the museum galleries for quite a while. Monet’s “Women with Umbrellas” are once again side by side in the Impressionist gallery.
AND THEN THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END!!!!
ok every time this post comes by i resist geeking out on it but NO LONGER so these women are probably the same woman and that woman is monet’s wife camille doncieux. he painted her a LOT. but fun fact: monet had this asshole friend named ernest hochede, and ernest racked up some debts, and like an asshole he basically just fled the country, leaving his wife alice and their six kiddos behind. monet immediately got alice and kids to move in with him, camille, and their two kids. at this point, monet, alice, and camille became my favorite probably historic poly threesome. they lived together, taking care of the kids. they were so poor that alice and camille took turns wearing the nice dress so they could go out with monet. when camille got uterine cancer and began dying, alice helped monet cope and took care of things while he painted camille over and over. when camille died, alice is the reason monet was able to survive. when ernest finally died, monet and alice married, and remained married until alice died. at that point, blanche, the oldest daughter, took care of monet until he died. anyway, the point is, the umbrella ladies are probably the same ladies, but as far as i’m concerned, there WAS a historically queer poly family in that household and they were wonderful.
I need more stories about historic polyamorous relationships
Honestly, poly households sound like a win-win situation where parenting is concerned. I don’t understand why people are so against it. It takes a village.
Ugh, this makes me so happy. I know a handful of poly families who are raising amazing kids, and it just… makes me so jealous and hopeful at the same time 😛 Also, Monet has always been my favorite, so it’s impossible to love him more, but… yeah.
I don’t know where I fit in. *stares at the emo and sweats*
EXCUSE ME. How DARE YOU simplify white culture this much?! As someone with a WHOLE PhD in White Culture I am APALLED that you would leave out the fusion aspect of white culture which is VITAL to their survival and reproductive evolution, as well as cultural linguistosocio capabilities. Behold the TRUE types of white people, taking fusion into account below:
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Actually I think I have something a little bit more interesting than your simple breakdown.
pour one out for all the people who’s messages went unanswered because i told myself i’d answer them later but when later came around i decided it was Too Late
What rich fucker needs 55 beds and bathrooms to himself or a small family?
that makes too much sense so it won’t happen
Hey. I live right down the street from this and theyre looking to turn it into a facility for veterans. Theres unfortunately some backlash from the surrounding community, and its hard to see from the pictures but the building sits next to a neighborhood. Its also across the street from an elementary school.
Some people in the neighborhoods are UPSET that this facility will be offering mental health care for veterans. Theyre upset that mentally ill people are going to be coming and going near a school. Most of this is being voiced on the neighborhood forums so I dont have links for it, apologies.
The nonprofit that is leasing the space for their project still needs donations because the building is vandalized on the inside. Mostly from kids from the surrounding neighborhoods breaking into it. Which I know because I went to school with them. Anyways. Good news, this space is being used to help people who need it. Bad news, people are ableist assholes.
