Anybody else find that they have a favorite vein, mole, freckle, or other "landmark" that pulls you in? These are some of my favorite veins. 😈

Okay listen, because nothing was ever going to prepare me for this, but when I first came out*, I had no idea what a profound effect that was going to have on other people.
I thought I was braced for the bad stuff, how some people’s fear about what your simple existence means can dampen, darken, and corrode your joy, your sense of safety. I wasn’t prepared for the scale of that, but that’s not what this post is about.
I had no fucking clue that my existence as a queer person taking up space could mean so much joy and relief for others. And I was utterly unprepared for how that has only increased as I’ve aged, and as the world has become more connected. Eventually, a young trans man explained it to me, saying that seeing me just... living, 30 years older than him, brought him hope, a model for the future, that there was a future, for the first time. Several others chimed in to say the same and I felt airless for a dizzying second. I hadn’t been able to really understand, until that point, why various younger queer folk would thank me on Twitter, call me and others like me icons. We’d shrug: We’re just... being, we’d say. Exactly, they’d reply.
I thought that things were easier for young, queer folk now. That they have more access to information and vocabulary and acceptance than we did, growing up. Hell, I might never have worked out my gender stuff if younger folk weren’t out there being loud about their pronouns, breaking down microlabels, and sharing their feelings about their existence.
And that’s also true, but being visibly queer, and over 30, and it not being a tragedy? That gives people enormous hope. That’s a landmark to reach, a future to picture yourself in. My life is nowhere near perfect, but it exists.
And heavens, it’s good to know that these proliferating silver hairs and wrinkles are beautiful signs for those who long for the decades’ stretch between now and then.

(*still not quite realising that it’s something you do again and again, and sometimes additionally, if - like me - you find yourself going “oh, and this thing too”)

This is a tribute to Ancient Greece, its spectacular architecture and the wise words of some of the greatest philosophers the world has ever seen. I created naive, hand drawn illustrations of some of the grandest temples that still stand tall and strong after some 2000 years. I then created a hand drawn font based on the classic Baskerville typeface to resemble the carvings of the scripts on the temples.
These two elements were then intertwined to create intricate patterns .

JATAYU TEELA
Jatayu teela is a new landmark in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
Tumblr media
According to Ramayan, Jatayu is the King of Vultures. Jatayu was very old at the time when he witnessed Rakshash Ravana abducting Ma Sita. He flew in without a second thought and fought with outmost courage to rescue Ma Sita.
Tumblr media
But eventually Ravan defeated him by clipping his wing. He fell down on earth. Where he remained wounded until Shree Ram and Lakshman found him on their pursuit to find Sita Ma, who is the wife of Prabhu Ram.
Jatayu helped them in their mission by conveying information of Ma Sita's whereabouts. He told them Ravan flew south to his palace in Sri Lanka.
Tumblr media
Jatayu died of his wounds and Shree Ram performed final funeral rituals and granted him moksha.
Jatayu is the embodiment of valor and chivalry. Risking his life, he did his best to save Ma Sita from her kidnapper. For this reason, the sculpture stands as a massive tribute to the safety and honor of women. And is deserving to be remembered, celebrated and be inspired from.

Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Trade, Commerce, and Industry)
Trade, Commerce, and Industry Worldbuilding Questions:
What is the primary currency in this world? Does each region have its own?
What is the standard (such as the gold standard) by which currency is valued?
Who has more relative trading power and why? Which commodities are valued the most?
Who is paid the most because their labor is valued highest? Who is paid the least? Or is labor compensated equally (and do pay grades vary by region)?
Where are the biggest centers of trade and industry? Why are they in these locations?
Where are the main trading routes and what are landmarks or places of interest along their way?
When was this world most or least prosperous, and why?
When business is conducted, what are the customs, signs of trust (like signatures on Earth), formalities?
Why is a specific trade more common than others (what context underpins it)?
Why are certain trades growing or waning in popularity?
