[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me clear this up. Pile of books on her left, silhouette of a man on screen...BUT, the dead giveaway is the size of her hoop earrings (age 25). The medical gloves on floor hints that she may be in the medical field. The disarray is funny, but not unmanageable. Couple of prescription bottles may indicate a chronic illness; immuno issue, migraines, anxiety, whatever. Two cats doesn't mean a thing, yet it's purposely done to create maniacal speculation that her life is somehow less gratifying than yours.

She’s a woman of color. Hoop earrings are not a hard marker for age. I’m Afro-Latina and late 40s. I will be buried in my hoops.[/quote]

Got you, mija.  [/quote]

Ha love this exchange pp's. I'm poster above. It isn't a marker of race, only age. I guess I stand corrected on hoop size. If I could figure out how to post a gif, I'd sent some funny ones that I sent to my best friend who indulged on hoops (diamond). I tortured her with memes and gifs. She's very young 50 and white.

I mentioned gloves not masks bc that (to me) hints of medical profession, plus the pile of books. Most of us are wearing masks. Few of us are wearing medical gloves.

Anyway, be safe out there.[/quote]

You too, babe.  Also, check out this week's Shouts and Murmurs and the article from last week's New Yorker about environmental racism in Alabama and Mississippi.  Both make for excellent reading.   [/quote]
