Yesterday on Veterans Day House Republicans quietly passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates. Even after the midterms Republicans are deadset on increasing the pain. While Veterans spoke out right outside...
Bonjour!
Beauté, mon beau souci, de qui l’âme incertaine
A comme l’Océan son flux et son reflux:

How much confidence can a simple pose convey? 👑🎨
Edwin Long’s The Eastern Favorite, dated 1880, makes a poised standing figure the centre of an Egyptian interior.

Against the carved column, that ease of posture feels deliberate: a quiet moment arranged with considerable confidence.
Does she look relaxed or ready to move? 🤔

"Diana at the Bath" (1830)
By James Ward. (1769–1859) 🖌️🌹
British painter.
Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, USA.

In this work, the figure of Diana acquires a serene and majestic presence, where the delicacy of the forms and the treatment of light transform the mythological scene into an expression of timeless beauty.

For you veterans that voted for Donald Trump, take note! He and the Republicans don’t give a shit about you or your wellbeing! He also made major cuts to VA hospital funding and staffing. He terminated the VASP loan program causing 10,000 vets to lose their homes. 🤬
