a modest assertion: if you see an image unaccompanied by any information about who made it (not to mention: when, where, how, for what purpose...), it should occur to you that something is missing.
#like obviously i have strong convictions abt crediting artists etc
#but also just like. if you don't know who made a thing and you don't know when or where or why... a lot is happening to you w/o yr knowing
#or alternatively things *aren't* happening for you that could be
#and if you don't even notice that‚ you definitely can't remedy it
#(re-encountering this post in my queue sent me down something of a rabbit hole‚ summarizable roughly as follows:
#one of the classical formulations of the so-called ~Five Ws~ includes 'quibus adminiculis')
#(which is roughly 'with what assistance'—
#altho originally a viticulture metaphor according to perseus [or‚ you know‚ 'orig. in the language of vine-dressers‚' Because Classics]:
#it's a thing you put yr hand on [ad + manus]‚ and then a prop for vines‚ and then a support more broadly—
