Thinking about one day being able to say, ‘our home’ and ‘my wife’ is therapeutic

MEDUSA PORTRAIT 

by Zara Alfonso

[themasquerademedic]

Sometimes I think of you, Medusa. Inside your temple, mournful, surrounded by a hundred stone statues. The men who came to kill you and never left  were named lost heroes, warriors, demigods whilst you were called monster, gorgon, terror. (Because the stories were always written by men) But this was never a story about a monster. It was always about a woman burned for a Sea God’s sin, a pawn in an ancient game the fates would never let her win. You did not desecrate that which is sacred, it was him. (But your story was always written by men) You begged him not to visit you, you pleaded with every God. But the Gods turned away when you needed them. You did not want to be remembered this way. And then one day, whilst you slept, a son of Zeus came. And killed you before you could even look his way. (And he too was named hero because the stories were always written by men) Someone once said, words cut deeper than a knife. That history is told by the victors. That he who tells the story is the one who controls the world. Women did not get to write your story, Medusa. Because if we did, a very different tale would be told. (And in our tale, you would not be Monster. But Priestess. Goddess. A maiden who once had a heart of gold.)

at one point y’all gotta accept that the Middle East, too, has lgbt people, progressive people, KIND people, and people who deserve to live even if they’re not revolutionary activists 😐

20 days left!

I am back. I have been studying but I’ve been too lazy to post about it. But you know what, the sun is out and there’s less than three weeks until my exam and there’s nothing like pure panic to get me through this last stretch of the year so I’m going to try my best to do a productive final twenty days of studying before my exam :)

no promises tho i am very tired 

this semester has taken everything out of me and i think its fair if i dismiss myself for the summer
