"goddess" "matriarchy" "female wisdom" girl your civic rights

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

"im so tired of dog/cannibalism/religious metaphors" then write something different & share it with the world. do it. if youre so special & so talented. at least the ppl writing cliché stuff are writing

[orpheuslament]

like i get it at some point it gets tiring & overdone & we should all try to stray away from clichés & push our artistic boundaries. & im the first one to criticise cheap poetry. but this kind of thing usually does nothing but dishearten beginner poets, usually very young people who have just started to seriously hone their craft. also you sound incredibly fucking annoying. tbh

The people that discourage artists are a big problem. All these themes and metaphors that are "overdone" have been and can be executed beautifully, but if you tell everyone that they're boring and dumb and cliché then no one will want to put in the effort to create meaningful pieces. And also half these judgy people want to either be different and edgy or just don't care to deeply investigate and appreciate poetry beyond the surface level of social media and "booktok"

Pomegranates by Elena Kubysheva

This year’s Saturnalia is coming soon, which calls for a moment of devotion for its main, though not only, Divinity, the Titan Saturn. Initially an agricultural Deity of abundance and good harvest of Roman and Greek land, Saturn is most well known for being the keeper of Time and the Titan who ate His children.

However, He is a much more complex God, or Titan, than that, and in this post I’d like to cover His cult across Greece and the Roman Empire as well as offerings, gifts, and activities that can be devoted to Him.

Started a diary as a way of practicing my writing, and it’s probably the best part of my day.

I write with candle light (cause my light bulb and lamp are both damaged) and it just adds so much to the mood and everything. I love it.

I found the most beautiful vintage edition of Wuthering Heights ever, bad thing? ITS IN FRENCH AND I CAN’T UNDERSTAND MOST OF IT

"To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration"

-Albert Camus, The stranger.

And in the blink of an eye, my year went by. Yet last week feels like a century ago and I cannot recall what I felt then or now.

Shifting

Im trying to shift to Howl’s moving castle and I think I did the best room ever. Is so simple, I visualized it yesterday night and omg- 

A small room with a bunk (I think that’s how you call it) The upper bed is full of fluffy teddy bears and a velvet pillow. The wall besides the bed has three large pictures of traditional Japanese paintings. Down the bed there’s a desk. Following the classic light (or dark) academia aesthetic of the movie, is full of books and papers. Writing quills and ink. I scripted myself as a witch so I have some stuff I also had in my Hogwarts DR. The bed’s at one side of the room in front of the door, leaving space for the closet and other things I’ll describe. There’s a mirror that allows me to see my face and torso, it’s decorated with diamonds and gold. The wall besides the mirror has a big window. A traditional window with a wooden frame. Big velvet curtains full of dust and golden strings. Right in front of the mirror, at the other side of the window, there’s a small closet made of brown wood. It has gold knuckles and its full of shoes and hats. (I do clothes with my own magic.) Lets not even say I live in a book store so my room smells like books and coffee.
