AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

As she says: "we arrived all together", referring to Mexican women to the presidency. She's even better than I thought she would be, potentially the best president we've had, but it's just been a couple of months and it's easy to forget.

Yeah, fuck yeah.

I'm not up to speed on the full context here, but the invitation to "find out" in her expression gives me hope for the future of humanity.

i want a government with a witch president and a wizard parliament
imagine how much easier it would be to keep order when you can just have the Speaker cast [SILENCE] until people shut the fuck up

I'm down for this. I mean, it's like they could possibly be any worse than the greedy scumbags we've always had.

In the best possible sense of the word.

Exorcising tariffs again and again. Standing strong against Trump’s bullshit.
