Citizens of the world / 'Citizen Shanty' (2017) CC response to Tory PM Theresa May's blithe and uncaring one-nation worldview, and sadly is more relevant than ever.

Altra Donzella — Another young woman — Grevembroch 3-113
This painting depicts a young woman, probably from the early 1700s, selling flowers on the streets.
She wears an unusual assortment of dresses, which might be handed-down or second-hand clothes, and the tall clogs often used by Venetian women, the calcagnette.

Facchini — Labourers — Grevembroch 3-120
Theriac was considered a kind of wonder medicine, and an antidote for most poisons. It required over sixty ingredients, and it was one of the prime products of the many pharmacies in Venice in the 1600s and 1700s.
Due to issues with fraud — and the importance of the industry to the Venetian economy — the Magistrato alla Sanità obliged the spezier and the pharmacists to display the ingredients for theriac in the street in front of the shop for several days each year.
Day labourers were hired to grind the ingredients into a fine powder, working in the open in front of the pharmacy.
This watercolour depicts such a worker, pounding the ingredients of theriac in a giant mortar.

In 2016, Theresa May said at the Conservative Party Conference, "If you believe you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere."
In response, philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah argued the case for the #cosmopolitans, for those who know how important it is to look beyond our tight-fitting borders. -

My friends the wild #gowerponies have come to visit me. These ponies roam freely on #gowerpeninsula and are owned by #commoners who have grazing rights for their animals. Their cows also roam freely.
Each Summer they face the threat of being mowed down by speeding motorists when the tourists hit Gower.
The tourists don't know that if you ask them nicely they will move off the road so that vehicles can pass.

Slow Fashion
In Ask Metafilter, iamsuper would like to know, How unfashionable were the medieval poor? "How fast did fashion spread in, say, medieval times, or Tudor times? Would people living in remote areas perhaps be wearing clothes that were 100 years or more out of fashion? Or would fashions evolve at similar speeds to today?"

"The only way to achieve systemic #change at the planetary level is to build counter-power, that is #alternative global #governance. The trans-national #capitalist #class must feel that its power is curtailed, not just by nation-states that may #organize themselves internationally, but by #transnational forces representing the global #commoners and their #livelihood organizations."
