Child labor was quite common in America deep into the 20th century. One of the most important reformist organizations was the National Child Labor Committee, created in 1904. Its leaders, many of whom were key figures in the progressive movement, understood that they would need to expose the realities of child labor in a visceral way. So they hired a photographer named Lewis Hine, whose photographs created a haunting record of American child labor.

One of the most common jobs for young boys was as a newspaper seller. Though this was not as grueling as factory work, it did have definite downsides. The day started early — here are some St. Louis newsboys beginning work at 5 am:

The newsboys were often exposed to bad habits on the streets:

Newspaper sellers, unlike most child laborers, did have some protections — “Newsboys’ Protective Associations” formed in many cities, and served as a sort of union and fraternal organization for the kids. Here, the Cincinnati Association is training kids in the “manly art of self-defense:”

one of my favorite parts of nimona is that she never explains her backstory to ballister. the audience sees all of it, but nimona is never put in the position of having to beg for ballister’s trust back by baring all of her past and her reasons.

in fact, bal is seen as in the wrong for failing to hold up the truths of who she is in the present over whatever her past was rumored to be.

just. what a good choice for a movie that’s a trans allegory, but also in general as a commentary on people growing and changing.
