In the spirit of the 2014 selfie roundup that’s going around on Tumblr now, here are 10 of my favourite tripod assisted selfies of the year! Unless I have someone to help me out, I shoot my own photos these days, and I’ve gotten comfortable enough with the self timer to get satisfactory results. I’ve shot more outfits this year than any other since I started blogging, which is pretty awesome, I think! Most of the time, I just try to get photos that are in focus and where I’m not mid-blink, but sometimes I accidentally get an excellent shot or two. And these are my 10 favourite unexpectedly excellent shots from 2014 <3
LGBTQ* History You Should Know
(and probably never heard of)
JEANNE BONNET
According to historian Allan Berube, “Jeanne Bonnet grew up in San Francisco as a tomboy and in the 1870’s, in her early twenties, was arrested dozens of times for wearing male attire. She visited local brothels as a male customer, and eventually organized French prostitutes in San Francisco into an all-woman gang whose members swore off prostitution, had nothing to do with men and supported themselves by shoplifting. She traveled with a special friend, Blanche Buneau, whom the newspapers described as ‘strangely and powerfully attached’ to Jeanne. Her success at separating prostitutes from their pimps led to her murder in 1876.”
