YOU ARE INVINCIBLE
AUTOMOBILES TREMBLE AT THE SIGHT OF YOU
GOD'S DIVINE LIGHT SHIELDS YOU

Happy National Walking Day!
Pedestrianism, a form of competitive walking, became popular in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain and Ireland, and spread in the United States.
Racers walked for hundreds of miles around a track in six-day races and the one who walked the furthest distance was the winner. In the United States, watching people walk was the most popular spectator sport in the late 1880s.  
Edward Payson Weston (1839–1929) was an American pedestrian. He became famous when he walked 478 miles from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C. in 10 days and 10 hours, from February 22 to March 4 in 1861. During the walk, he faced snow, rain, and mud, fell several times, and ate while walking.
This portrait is entitled, “Edward Payson Weston Walking from Portland to Chicago.” It must be from 1867 when he covered over 1,200 miles in 26 days. He won a prize of $10,000, but also received several death threats from gamblers who bet against him. He lived to be 90 years old.
We have many other portraits of pedestrians like Weston in our collection of Portraits of boxers and other athletes!

#i will warn you only once: tsc spoilers#literally just finished it as i am drafting this its 5am where i live#so you may be subjected to some nonsense#that all being said i have thoughts.and feelings#the kevin was lovely and tasted delicious! jean defending him at every turn even when he swears to hell and back he'll kick his ass#the kevjean was surprising i was only half expecting that#the dog metaphors i have to say i need this one cashed in. nora run me my check#im joking of course dont quote me on it#jean taking kevins promise to the end and living on it is seriously so. well.#'be careful with him' 'take kevin's name out of your ignorant mouth' 'you promised me'#also kevin getting called the court's queen had me tender and on my back oml#jean's relationship with the trojans is sweet and he is very interesting and complicated#a character with many moving parts im sure#there were a few things i did not care for#namely jeremy and the trojans felt remarkably flat to me bar lucas (by far the most interesting) and catalina on occasion#i didnt quite enjoy jeremy's pov and felt like he spent perhaps way too much time worrying over jean? if that makes sense#i wish he had some more complexity to him or really anything to catch a hook on#all we know is hes attractive and smiley and gets along terribly with his family#so much of his character is sucked out by jean he didnt feel like much more than a plot device to me#which i wouldnt mind if jeremy wasnt the literal main character alongside jean#i was living for everything jean thought but had to drag myself through jeremy's pov if im honest#uuuuh what else. neil! funny. deranged. i have to love him#andrew couldnt give less of a fuck about jean which is funny as all fuck#two bugs placed in the same habitat ignoring each other#the thing with elodie i thought was complicated. i wish we knew some more about her or that shed been mentioned a little earlier#but im assuming thats a topic to be revisited#uuuuuuuh yeah so thats most of it. i think my first thought and the one that sticked out the most to me is that the book felt remarkably#pedestrian#not necessarily in a bad way#it lacked to me one of the main appeals of aftg which were the numerous interesting side characters
