not to be a classicist but how beautiful HOW BEAUTIFUL (!) is it that we have sappho! from TWENTY SIX CENTURIES AGO there was a woman looking across the room at another woman and feeling totally inflamed with jealousy and love. i literally did that the other day and she was doing it actual aeons ago and writing about it so beautifully. wow <3

The first of the four designs from my 2022 Pride Line: Sacred Sappho, divine ancestor of women who love women.

Sappho, on the off chance that you don't know her, was a poet from the island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea, who lived and wrote in the seventh and sixth centuries BCE. Her work was taught as a pinnacle of poetic skill for centuries, well into the Roman Empire, until - through a combination of censorship, neglect, and luck - it was lost to the ages. No contemporary biography survives, and we are left with mere scraps of her estimated 10,000 lines of poetry, but her work has been associated with sexual love between women since the Hellenistic period. Now, she and the island from which she came are virtually synonymous with queer women and their experiences.

The image is based on one of the few surviving images of Sappho, a black figure vase painting from the late 6th century BCE.

* Made of solid .925 sterling silver or shibuichi (an art metal alloy made of 3:1 copper:silver), yellow brass, or red bronze.

* Available as a coin, with an upeye for use as a pendant, or with three jump rings for use in a rosary-style necklace.

Each piece is hand-made to order in my home studio, with unique variations and defects as a result of the fabrication and casting process.

Imagine being so gay that being gay gets named after you. Twice.

Wanna sit on a pretty girls lap and just whisper sweet things in her ear telling her how gorgeous she is I wanna hear all about her day and show Her how I missed her soft skin and then worship her with my lips and mark every inch of her

Sappho

William Wetmore Story, 1867

[secretly-sapphic-confessions]

The sapphic desire to visit the island of Lesbos and walk on the same ground that Sappho did

[secretly-sapphic-confessions]

i do wish that i could kiss you,

and someday you'd call me your wife,

still your skin is so soft, too fragile to touch

let's love in another life

we gotta stop saying “feminine hygiene products” because “pads and tampons” is really just not that embarrassing as a series of words lol
