Please credit the artist; an image isn’t created out of thin air.  The original Tumblr post included the artist’s name and subsequent reblogs stripped it.  

If an image or quotation interests you, researching its context makes it richer.  A simple internet search will do.  Case in point below:

Andrea Bowers’ work focuses primarily on direct action and non-violent civil disobedience enacted through the lives of women. She presents the stories of activists to express her belief that dissent is essential to maintaining a democratic process, as well as to illustrate the importance of a political strategy that stands in opposition to violence and war. Her work explores the intersections between art and archival processes, and between aesthetics and political protest. Bowers believes cultural production can be an integral part of political action and can help serve as a voice in counter-hegemonic practices. She investigates the role of art in documentation, in-depth storytelling, and the reconsideration of historical recording. Many of her projects contextualize historical events in our contemporary situation and underscore their poignancy upon our current state of affairs.
