This is no reason to not learn more about history, since there are a lot of good lessons, interesting facts and important events. So one way to dip your toes is the recent past, as there are actually pictures and not just a handful of paintings if you’re lucky.

In the grand scheme of things, photos are still “modern” since they’ve “only” been around since the 19th century. Even a hundred years after cameras, as we know them today, became mass produced, it was still a rather niche tool, as they were expensive, skill-intensive and one had to develop the film themselves.

Only in the 90s, did digital cameras democratize photography since there was no longer any risk of ruining or wasting costly film. Now, of course, we all have excellent cameras in our pockets and it’s not at all unusual to take literally hundreds of pictures in a day, if one is so inclined.

Hopefully they won't take it away again. Seems like the world is in reverse.

Women didn't get votes by 'asking nicely' Literally none of the rights any of us have have been gotten this way. We need to remember this when politicians make out protestors to be 'terrorists' for using civil disobedience to try and stop the world from frying..

No jokes. No snark. People fought too hard to earn these rights. We CANNOT let anyone take them away. And that is what is happening. Here. Now. Do not let it.

Funny to think that women had the right to vote for almost 600 years in France before the revolution and at this right was denied to them after to be different than the previous government

The USA, otherwise known as Gilead, seems to be rapidly reverting to a time before suffrage happened.

Women are allowed to vote but you have to vote the same as your husband, you can't have your own opinion. OMG PEOPLE THIS WAS A JOKE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP GETTING ANNOYED ABOUT THE ADVERT VOICED BY JULIA ROBERTS.

42% of women in the US voted for Trump. It's kinda insane. And yeah, even though it's illegal, some husbands, especially religious ones, demand their wives take pictures of their ballots. My mom does it voluntarily because she's on the band wagon. We're Canadian, but still, it's a trend in her church for spouses to reinforce hatred. Also a great example of people who amplify stolen election lies deciding that the laws apply to other people and not themselves.

Will it come to this again in the future? Like Taliban and Islamic Nation, Project 2025 and authoritarian right-wing groups want to put women back inside the home, limit education for females, and legally put men in charge of females. No difference except they claim in the US to be Christians.
