I now bless you with what might be the only surviving photograph of Radclyffe Hall smiling (that I could find and I looked). 

Una smiles more often, but Hall almost never does, from what I found. 

#I mean they were born in the late Victorian era so that could have been part of it #but for some reason I was like NO her smile exists somewhere #I get the feeling someone was telling a joke or something and they caught her laughing/grinning but maybe I'm wrong #this is from 1934 I think so they're both in their early fifties here I think #radclyffe hall #una tourbridge #lesbian history #lesbian pride #1930s #british writers #british artists #mad respect ladies mad respect #old photographs #vintage lgbt #early 20th century #lgbt history #modernist writers #british poets #brit lit #lesbian couples #gay couples #black and white photograph #is that enough tags? #british newspaper archives.blog.uk #the well of loneliness #radcylffe hall's smile #happy couples

By Nachum Kaplan

Hamas correctly identified that antisemitism was only dormant in the West, and that they just needed to wake the sleeping monster. They knew this because there were clear tells, such as the international media’s fixation on Israel, the over-reporting of the country, and that the Pavlovian way the conflict becomes newsworthy only when Israel responds to an attack.Hamas stuck to what has worked throughout history. The blood libel trope was modernized into accusations of genocide and deliberate starvation, while the trope of Jews being responsible for their persecution was updated with the notion that Israel had turned Gaza into an open-air prison.They leveraged their numerical advantage.With more than a billion Muslims globally, Hamas knew it had a huge virtual army it could activate on social media to reach a global audience.Hamas flooded social media with lies to exploit the Repetition Bias, a heuristic (mental shortcut) in which repeated information feels more true than new or unrepeated information. Social media repeated these lies exponentially, aided by extensive use of AI-generated “photographs.”The Palestinians also exploited another numerical advantage, the number of Muslim states, which is 48. This has given them weight in forums such as the United Nations and its various committees and bodies, creating a suited army of bureaucrats with credible titles to tell lies to the international press.Almost comically, Iran has just assumed the presidency of the UN Conference on Disarmament. That is the same Islamic Republic that funds, arms, and trains Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen — and ships arms to Russia to use in its invasion of Ukraine.They controlled the information flow.Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have used traditional authoritarian tactics to control the information flow from areas they govern. Reporters cannot report freely or unfavorably from Palestinian-controlled territories if they want to retain access. Threats of violence keep the few unsympathetic local reporters in check.Exploiting the inability of most media to report from Gaza directly, Hamas has used local Gazan “journalists” to feed lies, distorting images, and fabricated data to the credulous international media. Time and again, the foreign press has swallowed them, including claimed civilian death toll numbers that are demonstrably untrue (and presume every person killed was a civilian).Hamas has only needed the media to report its numbers, knowing that if repeated enough, they be treated as true and that no one will pay attention to the fine print stating they are unverified. Hamas at one point even had the media complaining that Israel was simultaneously not allowing reporters access to Gaza and targeting journalists there.They mastered the 24-hour news cycle.The internet has blurred the traditional lines between print and television news, turning all news media into digital services beholden to the 24-hour news cycle.Hamas has understood that as long as it keeps manufacturing outrages, the news cycle will move on quickly, and they will never be held to account. The Qatar-funded Al Jazeera, which has the veneer of a real news organization, has played a key role in this.They have exploited a ‘post-truth’ world.Hamas recognized that the post-Modernist rot has resonated in much of the West, including across its media and universities. The belief that people cannot only have their own opinions, but their own facts, sounds laughable, but it has become worryingly normal.Political tribes express opinions mainly as identity signals, and tribal loyalty is more important to these people than truth, or even reality. Hamas has understood that this liberates it from any need to have a fact-based narrative.They use simple slogans.“

"The Terminal" by Alfred Stieglitz - 1892

"Winter, Fifth Avenue" by Alfred Stieglitz - 1892

"The Steerage" by Alfred Stieglitz - 1907

Alfred Stieglitz, (born January 1, 1864 - died July 13, 1946), art dealer, publisher, advocate for the Modernist movement in the arts, and, arguably, the most important photographer of his time.

Early in 1902 Stieglitz announced the existence of a new organization called the Photo-Secession, designed to break away from stodgy and conventional ideas. Photo-Secession was dedicated to promoting photography as an art form.

Autochrome self-portrait, c. 1907

The Above photo is NOT colorized, Stieglitz was a pioneer in the use of the autochrome process, invented in France by Auguste and Louis Lumière. It was the first practicable method of color photography.

This photo of his daughter is believed to be one of the first color photographs - "Kitty Stieglitz in a Field with Blue Flowers," - 1907

Alfred and Kitty Stieglitz, 1907

This Autochrome was made in the Bavarian resort town of Tutzing, Austria, in the summer of 1907, by either Stieglitz or his young protégé Edward Steichen, or possibly both. Stieglitz was experimenting with the newly invented Autochrome, the first viable and commercially manufactured color process.

Late in 1905, with the encouragement of Steichen, Stieglitz opened the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, a name soon shortened to 291, the gallery’s address on lower Fifth Avenue in New York City. During the gallery’s first four years it most often functioned as an exhibition space for the Photo-Secession photographers. By the 1909 season, however, the gallery began to promote progressive art in a variety of media, and the work of painters, sculptors. These exhibitions included the first shows in the United States of the work of Henri Matisse, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Cézanne, and Pablo Picasso. It's also the place where he met his future wife Georgia O'keeffe.

Georgia O'Keeffe, "Hands" by Alfred Stieglitz - 1918

Stieglitz & Georgia O'keeffe, 1919

His serial portrait of O’Keeffe, made over a period of 20 years, contains more than 300 individual pictures and remains unique and compelling in its ability to capture many facets of a single subject.

My Faraway One: Selected Letters of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz: Volume One, 1915-1933

Between 1915, when they first began to write to each other, and 1946, when Stieglitz died, O'Keeffe and Stieglitz exchanged over 5,000 letters (more than 25,000 pages) that describe their daily lives in profoundly rich detail.

How much we have in common. — Traits. — Both turn everything we touch into something really living — & amusing — for ourselves. — Both can laugh — really laugh — even at our heartaches… 300 years you want to live!! — I wish I could give you that as a gift —

Letter from Stieglitz to O’Keeffe, November 9th, 1916
