Interior With Two Girls, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Colors are strong and bright and contrasting in a nice way. They aren't used in a subtle or delicate way exactly but the scene still seems sensitive to me. Maybe the postures of the girls and the soft couch and carpet. Time for tea! I like that the faces are green but it works?

Sexual tension?

I read that the nazis called this artist "degenerate" which makes me think he was on to something 😁

I will go further @realDonaldTrump :
this is the #exact #contrary of #nationalism, if you don't care about other persons in the same #nation #US #USA .

This should be called #classism .. :
You only care about your #brothers in #wealthness

Me: I already gave you the rest
Teen: no, there’s more in here
Dad: hey, are you just taking the rest of the Parmesan?
Teen: no, the bowl was already empty

A quotation from Augustine of Hippo:

«
You can see how infinitely laborious and fruitless it would be to try to refute every objection they offer, when they have resolved never to think before they speak provided that somehow or other they contradict our arguments.

Dear Friends of Lepers,
As we know being an #admin is a service not a right. Being an end user is very hard for the:
- #contrary
- olde
- limited #interweb
- #Aunty Daemon
Etc.
#Fortunately :blobheart: it is also hard for data miners/minors, #yacktavists, poll servers, AI #scammers and the usual suspects
I does my bestest but I may just be anti or aunty social media. Woe is me/memes!

I love how deeply transgressive the action of rolling a Q-tip is in my ear canal. LOL! While I do it, I recall what it says on the box and I smile and chuckle. Yes. Watch me. I’m doing what you told me not to. Witness it. I continue! It feels amazing! Yessss tell me tales of woe and disaster for this. Mmmmm. Glorious! I’ll go deaf! I’ll throw off the Yellowstone Supervolcano. Yaaaaas. Waaaaarn meeee. Cause I’m listening. ;) I’m not going to stop. Muhahahaha! #today #QTips #ears #contrary #glee

I bought a 7-pack of cheap underwear and now that I've realised that they each have a day of the week on the waistband, it has become incredibly important to me that I never wear them on the 'correct' day. #Contrary

#Contrary to #popular #belief, I do not approve of #senseless #violence. I only approve of very #sensible and #rational violence, which is all the violence that my buddies and I specifically commit

@LoganFive on the contrary, it does! #contrary

Two things that are equally #true - despite sounding #contrary ->

Silence has volume.

Inaction is a form of action.
