Speaking of spying cameras, these photos here, taken in the streets of Oslo in the 1890s, come from one such camera hidden in the buttonhole of Carl Størmer, a 19-year-old student at the Royal Frederick University.

He secretly took around 500 of these.

O dia de hoje marca os 130 anos do nascimento da professora Celina Guimarães, a primeira eleitora do Brasil (1928).

"Jamais pude pensar que, assinando aquela inscrição eleitoral, o meu nome entraria para a história. E aí estão os livros e os jornais exaltando a minha atitude."

A amizade da @andreawerner_ foi uma das maiores surpresas e presentes da vida. Nunca hesitei em apoiá-la, e faria tudo de novo. Amanhã se concretiza toda a luta dela, que é de verdade e não tem prazo de validade.

Se você é de SP, pode votar em quem se importa de verdade. #50005

Nos próximos dias, a galera do bonde da defesa das pessoas com deficiência vai sumir. Quem é de verdade vai ficar.

Sendo eleita ou não, @andreawerner_ já é gigante. Já fez e vai continuar fazendo tanto por tanta gente.

E eu amo que em nenhum momento dessa campanha ela precisou inventar historinha ou atacar alguém pra se sobressair - ao contrário do que fizeram com ela muitas vezes.

Isso é prova de caráter.

#OnThisDay in 1960, Ruby Bridges becomes the first Black child to attend an all-white elementary school in Louisiana.

Photo colorized by me, original taken by uncredited DOJ photographer.

"The people I passed every morning as I walked up the school's steps were full of hate. They were white, but so was my teacher, who couldn't have been more different from them. She was one of the most loving people I had ever known."

"I remember turning onto the street. I saw barricades and police officers and, just, people everywhere. When I saw all of that, I immediately thought that it was Mardi Gras. I had no idea that they were here to keep me out of the school."
