"I asked ChatGPT!!" Well, I asked Lord Dionysus and he told you to turn that shit off and to go join an orgy

[olympian-meditations]

"Oh... You love Zeus?... But didn't he-"

An ear piercing screech is the last thing you hear as I tear the skin from my body, revealing that I'm the eagle come to eat your liver.

Hestia, first and last, sacred goddess of hearth and home

I call upon you to protect the domestic worker - those who do the thankless work of caring for children and cleaning homes. May they be honored and rewarded.

O Hestia protect the migrant - those who leave the familiarity of their own homes and loved ones in search of a better life to support their families. May they be honored and rewarded.

Eternal Hestia may you protect those so often overlooked by society - the dishwashers, cooks, landscapers, nannies, maids, construction workers, and all those whose toil is used to build and maintain homes and society without thanks. May they be honored and rewarded.
