This also means they can spy on straight people just to make sure they aren't lgbt. This is not just against gay people, it's a cover up for violating human rights. It's never just against one group of people, it's always about controlling the masses while blaming a group of people so nobody looks at the root of the problem.

Fiber arts are a slippery slope. I started with knitting, then got the quilt bug about 6 months ago. Made a quilt, said I wasnt going to do it again for at least another year. My 2nd hand quilted blanket is almost done. Got my mom's old sewing machine, I'm thrifting shirts and tailoring them. Now I'm resisting the siren call of a RIGID HEDDLE LOOM? who am I. What's happening to me. I used to go to the club.

I don't really see these being talked about remotely enough, at least proportionally to how funny they are to me, but my absolute favorite piece/type of Ancient Greek art has to be the drinking cups with eyes that stare at you.

Probably the most well-known, Dionysus Cup by Exekias, 540-530 BCE.

That's not pottery, that's a little guy.

A similar one from approximately 520 BCE.

Dated 525-500 BCE, from a Boston museum. This one just looks sad. I unironically want this in my house.

When things don't go as expected.

When the caffeine you drank in a rush comes back to bite you,

Or couldn't sleep and suffered for it the next day.

May Hermes Krateros, strong and mighty, bring you fortitude.

When your mind moves faster than your tongue,

Then you slip over your words, especially at the worst possible times.

May Hermes Diaktoros, guide and messanger, allow your words to flow freely.

When you leave your bag on a bus, train or ferry,

Crying at the station, hoping someone had turned it in.

May Hermes Eriounês, luck bringer and ready helper, hear your cries. May your belongings be safe in his arms and brought back to you swiftly.

[etherealtrashrat]

Silly little devotional moodboard thing (whatever the things you make on shuffles are called) I made for no real reason for Hermes yay :D

Made because I remembered how pretty the planet Mercury is and that's his planet and his Roman name so inspiration went brrrr

[leafinthebreeze-deactivated2026]

[noshameinoursickness]

repeat after me:

crying is a HEALTHY release of emotion AND a great way to complete the stress cycle
