Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.

LARGE SPECIMEN OF LAPIS LAZULI

SAR-I-SANG, AFGHANISTAN

A large and impressive specimen of lapis lazuli from the historic Sar-i-Sang mines, Badakhshan, Afghanistan.

This historic source, worked for over 6,000 years, has produced some of the finest lapis lazuli known. Material from the Sar-i-Sang mines travelled along ancient trade routes to Mesopotamia and Egypt, where it was prized for its intense celestial-blue colour and symbolic association with the heavens and divinity. Used in jewellery, amulets, carvings, and later ground to create the precious pigment ultramarine, lapis lazuli has long been regarded as one of the most coveted ornamental stones of the ancient world.
