Drama of mankind confronting rather small yet scary beast in this wild boar hunt by Abraham Hondius. He's definitely been looking at my own hunting scenes. Wise! Today is his day.

Frost fair on the Thames, 1684, by Abraham Hondius of Rotterdam. Face it, England, w/out immigrants you would have had no early modern art. And today is Hondius's day.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit.

Wonderful portrait of a woman from the 1520s, possibly his sister-in-law & hence not super-blonde, by Bernardino Licinio. It's been his day today.
