âHey, so⊠you know that trouble I was having with that rabbit warren? Well, it turns out theyâve developed into a bronze age society, and I just donât have what it takes to remove them now.â
(CW: animal death and injury)
It wasnât the end of the world. Maybe if this place was my livelihood Iâd start panicking or packing up, but itâs not. Iâm a vet, I own my own home, and Iâm not hurting if my vegetables get looted. The gardenâs a hobby at best, and yeah, maybe it was Grandmaâs pride and joy, but I warned her I killed my momâs geraniums when she told me she was leaving me the house, so itâs not like she has room for disappointment.
If anything, the rabbits are lucky they picked my land to figure out civilization on, because Iâm pretty sure my neighbor Carl would be dropping dynamite down the burrows in my shoes.
I wonât lie, I came close. Monster Truck got out while I wasnât looking, and when he came hobbling home with a goddamn spearhead embedded in his leg, I was about ready to rain my own personal Iliad down on the little bastards. Lucky for them, treating arrow wounds on my cat gave me enough time to calm down and think. I figure it was self defense. I donât like letting my cats outside off-harness anyway, and I wouldâve been plenty upset if heâd come home with a dead bunny in his mouth.
Many people encouraging others to read Persepolis today, and while you are at it you should also read Woman, Life, Freedom, of which Satrapi was an editor. An anthology of comic-essays about the Woman Life Freedom movement in Iran. Rest in peace to the incredible Marjane Satrapi. May she inspire us all to keep creating a better world.

"Men say, that in this midnight hour, The disembodied have power To wander as it liketh them, By wizard oak and fairy stream,â Through still and solemn places, And by old walls and tombs, to dream, With pale, cold, mournful facesâŠ." ~William Motherwell, "Midnight and Moonshine"
Dark kelpie vibe, for your viewing pleasure đ€ Fun fact: "One of the water-kelpie's common identifying characteristics is that its hooves are reversed as compared to those of a normal horse, a trait shared with the 'nykur' of Iceland" (Wikipedia)
