Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Pamela Colman Smith, a British artist. Who, I have just learned, was actually not a woman of color. Despite her spending a lot of time in Jamaica, writing books on Jamaican folklore, and even adopting the dress and mannerisms of a Jamaican...she was actually European. Kids these days would call that "problematic".
However, she never married or had children, and she lived with a female best friend, so I think the odds are very good that she was either a lesbian or asexual.
Thank you for jumping to the defence of a deceased person for a potential disparagement another dead person made based on an intrinsic attribute we cannot confirm.
