are you a terf? you don’t seem to be posting terfy shit but your bio says radfem and that alice post is very deliberately obtuse, you know damn well she’s trans.

hi! i am not a terf, since i do not exclude transgender men from my area of concern. i am a radical feminist, you are correct.

the post was a genuine expression of confusion. sometimes i have trouble processing audio in english (not my first language), and so, when i got the first ask correcting me, i felt it was weird that a character with a male voice (whose name i genuinely assumed was elis) would be named "alice" instead.

now that everything's been cleared up, i understand where i made a mistake; however, i still feel a cognitive dissonance when trying to convince myself that the character i assumed was male because of their male-sounding voice is now female instead. if it wasn't a podcast where the only input is audio, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings, and i would have gotten that the character is transgender pretty quickly. it doesn't really work on radio, at least for me personally.

hope this clears things up!

Opalescent glass Art Deco sculptures by French artist, Lucille Sevin. 1920s—1930s.

Hi ladies! For this 3rd post I am again going to talk about a woman I mentionned yesterday (in the post about Natalie Clifford Barney) ;

Romaine Brooks !

Her birth name is Beatrice Romaine Goddard, but we know her as Romaine Brooks. Successful italian american painter, she was born in 1874 in Roma and died in 1970 in Nice (in France) at 96 years old. Her works were successful in the early years of her career, before declining considerably during the 1930s and regaining popularity in the 1960s.

Both her parents were American and had two other children. Shortly after Romaine's birth, they decided to return to the United States, then broke up.

It was here that life took a difficult turn for young Beatrice: her mother took very little care of her, and abused her, accusing her of being possessed by the devil and of bringing bad luck. When she was seven, her mother abandoned her, leaving her to a poor family in New York. This same family informed the child's grandfather, who then decided to take charge of his granddaughter and her education. He placed her in various religious institutions, and for years she saw very little of her mother.

She began drawing and painting at the age of 16.

In 1893, she moved to Europe, became a cabaret singer in Paris and studied painting in Roma. She returned to live with her mother in 1901, after her brother's death, but her mother died in 1902, leaving Romaine to inherit her grandfather's fortune.

From then on, Romaine began to live a very unconventional life. In 1903, she, an open lesbian, and her homosexual friend John Ellington Brooks decided to marry. It's obviously not a love marriage, but an agreement, an arrangement between the two friends: this marriage will give the impression that they respect social norms and will therefore spare them the comments and pressure of society, and they will be free to love whoever they want, sheltered behind their appearance as a married couple.

Romaine and John never lived together, but to thank him for helping her, Romaine paid her friend a monthly allowance.

Romaine has had many lovers in her life : Dolly Wilde, (yeah this is Oscar Wilde's niece, and an interesting person!), the dancer Ida Rubistein, the marquise Luisa Casati, the pianist Renata Borgatti... but the love of her life was Natalie Clifford Barney. As you know it if you've read my post about Natalie, the two women stayed together for about 50 years, from 1914/1915 (unclear) until Romaine's death in 1970.

In 1904, she began using shades of gray in her work, and these would remain the dominant tones in her later paintings.

One of her best-known paintings is "La France Croisée" (Crossed France), which she painted in reaction to the first Battle of Ypres, at the beginning of the first world war.

The "patriotism" that transpires from this allegorical painting and inspired her mobilization for France and the Croix-Rouge française earned her the Légion d'Honneur in 1920.

She was a very successful painter. Her paintings were exhibited all over the world, from Paris to London to New York. Her career peaked in 1925, followed by a decline in the '30s. At this point, she gave up painting and concentrated on drawing, creating works inspired by her unhappy childhood. In the 60s, however, the art world started to take a renewed interest in her paintings.

She died at 96 in Nice, in December 1970, and since then, several prestigious exhibitions in her honor have been organized, rekindling public interest in Romaine Brooks and her work.

Here are some of her paintings :

(This is Natalie Clifford Barney!)

(This is Ida Rubistein)

(The Charwoman)

(This is Renata Borgatti)

(Chasseresse)

There is way much more to say about her and you should really check her life and her art! She was an interesting person with interesting works and I personally am glad I found her paintings.

See you tomorrow!

Why do you consume so much media filled with transgenderism?

hi! thanks for asking.

i don't intentionally seek it out. in fact, if i know beforehand that the content resonates with the transgender ideology, i try my best to avoid it. however, since a lot of media nowadays adhere to the transgenderism agenda, it's difficult not to stumble upon one.

usually it just hits me unexpectedly, like it happened with the magnus protocol. since i am already invested in the story quite a lot, for this instance i choose to ignore the fact. in any other case i stop consuming the piece of media entirely.

hope this explained things.
