sorry i know i've complained about this a lot but if there was One thing i wish people on here would grasp wrt roman approaches to mythology. is the centuries and centuries of italian mythic tradition & transmission that existed here. like a lot of these myths were being told & transformed & developed local version before rome even existed. these guys were trading materials & traditions with the greeks since like the bronze age. a person in rome might of have heard a lot of these stories as a kid from their grandmother who heart it from her grandmother, who heard it from hers etc etc. they were living changing myths in italy! with their own variations even! so a roman author, while they DO extensively use greek literature, is nevertheless working off something that is a deeply embedded part of their culture too. to act like these ideas were just transplanted directly from 5th century athens to 1st century rome, and especially as if greece had the oral tradition while rome was purely literary, is silly

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

An unusual Georgian-era pendant with imagery associated with mourning, however the images are composed entirely of micro-calligraphy text recalling the dates of death, and biblical verses. Extremely rare. Images on both sides. The case is gold filled.

gay people will romanticize anything. fossilization is an act of love. the earth holds the child that returned to her so tight in hopes that she never has to let go. eventually you'll fall away from her grasp no matter what, but at least you can leave behind an impression that she'll hold onto forever. fuck. hold on bad example. gimme a minute. fuck.
