It is sort of genius though 😬 the hypocrisy laid bare in how we romanticise historical protesters & revolutions that have got us to where we are today - even the very violent ones - but hate anything that inconveniences us now
To appear headless while taking a photo, known as "horsemaning", was a popular way to pose in the 1920's.
Horsemaning, also known as "headless posing," is a photographic technique where the subject creates the illusion of being beheaded, with their head placed on the ground or another surface. This unique form of posing gained popularity during the 1920s and was considered a photography trend at the time.
To achieve the desired effect, two individuals are required for this pose. One person positions themselves with their head hidden or tilted backward, while the other conceals their body, revealing only their head in the photograph. The term "Horsemaning" originated from the Headless Horseman, a malevolent character depicted in Washington Irving's 1820 short story titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
In 2011, Horsemaning experienced a resurgence on Facebook, and numerous photos attempting to recreate the original trend started circulating on platforms like Buzzfeed. This revitalization brought renewed attention to the peculiar and imaginative art of Horsemaning.
6 years ago this happened! I genuinely believe the kelly family should receive and an honorary Emmy for bringing so much joy to the world! The comic timing is incredible, the arrival of the youngest child followed by mummy sliding around the corner is epic, and the door close!
The humanity of family and the unpredictable nature of kids is beautiful and all on show in this clip.
Bless this family ❤️❤️

Love that Bowie's disguise on public transportation was to change nothing about his physical appearance and just pretend to read a Greek newspaper instead, making people assume he was a Greek dude that just happened to look a lot like David Bowie
There was a baby chimp born at The Sedgwick County Zoo, the baby had to be put on oxygen for a few days. This is a clip of it being reintroduced to its mother for the first time.
After tumultuous week, worth reflecting:
In the 37 years from 1979 to 2016 there were just 5 prime ministers.
In the 6 years since 2016 we’ve also had 5 PMs
Something pretty destabilising must have happened that year
Right now, this is/should be the biggest story in Europe.
The price of natural gas is falling very fast again, thanks to growing stockpiles & expectations of warmer weather.
If this sustains, then electricity prices & inflation should fall quickly too 🥳🥳
