She/her, Age: 30 (space dust.)Eyyy, I write stuff and I draw stuff. You can find fic on AO3 under the same username. I mostly do tmnt stuff right now cuz that's the current hyperfixation.
For the love of god, if you genuinley are skeeved by sex, or if it makes you uncomfortable, I can respect that. That's totally within your rights to decide and feel.
But its a two way street, people who do have sexual desires deserve as much respect as you do. It can be a genuine and healthy component to a relationship so long as its not the ONLY thing the relationship is based on. Or in the case of sex work, it can be a safe and transactional thing so long as it's gone about consentually.
Sex isn't 'gross', its just ONE part of OTHER peoples lives, even if it isnt part of yours.
today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.
but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.
the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.
Tatreez (Arabic: تطريز) is a type of traditional Palestinian embroidery. Tatreez uses traditional cross-stitch embroidery and is practiced largely among women. The craft was originally practiced in rural areas of Palestine, but is now common across the Palestinian diaspora. Historically, each village in Palestine had their own tatreez patterns. The landscape was a major source of inspiration for the patterns and motifs, which speaks to the variation in style that was common to see among all of the different tatreez expressions that were particular to each Palestinian village.
After the violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, people were living together in refugee camps. The different styles of tatreez became less distinct and have continued to evolve with the diaspora. Following 1948, tatreez evolved to reflect the experiences of Palestinians. Palestinian women began to incorporate the Palestinian flag and its colors into their tatreez as a means of resistance to the occupation of Palestine. Consequently, tatreez became an expression of the identity, heritage and resistance of Palestinian women and their dedication to preserve their ancient culture.
