We weep owls now. They live longer.
They know their way in the dark.”

“The hole in my heart is so big,
room enough for the sky to pass through
holding Jupiter’s hand.
I can fill it with a mountain.
I can fill it with a name.”

Another one. Paul O’Neal was an Black unarmed teenager from Chicago.
…And people wonder why there’s Black people like the late 23-year-old Korryn Gaines who are mentally drained and can no longer withstand to keep fighting and protesting against senseless killings of unarmed or armed Black people because the only thing that’s recurrent is the paranoia and anxiety that brews out of this. It’s fucking hard to keep it together and keep fighting time and time again. It does so much to our mental state. The fuck man…
Black Lives Matters means STOP KILLING US!!!

Fun fact: According to Greek legend there was a famous prostitute who managed to avoid a death sentence by showing the judges her boobs and arguing that it would be a crime against the Gods to destroy something so beautiful.
Before you ask, yes there are paintings of this. And yes, they’re amazing.
Read more.
I love history.
Role models tho.
No, but this is one of my absolute favorite bits of history!
The courtesan named was named Phryne and she was indeed a renowned beauty, and was indeed was put on trial for a capital crime. And yes, the sum of her defense consisted of her stripping in court (helped by her lover/defendant) and asking the jury (all males) if they were prepared to destroy this.
But this is actually a very interesting case of Values Dissonance - the capital crime she was accused of was blasphemy. In Ancient Greek society, exceptional beauty was a sign of favor from the gods, and they took the idea that beauty indicated goodness with great seriousness. They even called their nobles Kaloi k'Agathoi, “the Beautiful and the Good.”
So by showing off her great physical beauty, Phryne was being very clever indeed, her argument essentially being “How could I possibly commit blasphemy if the gods have given me this body?“
God, I adore history.
”If these tits are legit, you must acquit.”
