Alas, I am deep in Greek tragedies, and I mourn any loss of classical education

Euripides' Medea is tearing all the feels out of me this week. And then I happen upon this stunning necklace.

Brown text on yellow background "Not enough people are asking the question: if deportations are the goal, why are we building prison camps?"
Henk, you have been on this list since I created it in 2024. π

If the right is fascist (they are)
And some members of the left want to move towards center
It means they are moving closer to fascism.
I don't get why this is so hard to understand.
I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.
Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.
We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.
This is something significantly bigger and scarier.
A beautiful Byzantine necklace (dated C6-7th AD), made of amethyst, glass, & gold beads linked by delicate gold thread. A lovely piece of ancient jewellery! (π· NY Met Museum) #AncientBlueSky

A light brown and white mushroom grows out of slightly mossy and fir needle-covered ground. Its stipe is white and has a bulbous and ruffled base. Its large, dome-like cap is light brown and is covered in nearly evenly spaced white patches.
I'm not positive which species of Amanita this is, but I still found it pretty enough to be worthy of a nice portrait ππΈ

Today, I started working on a piece that I'm doing in the reverse of how I normally do things. I'm starting with a name - Crushed Ice.

Black typewriter font text on a white background that says: The role of the artist is to terrify the oppressor.
Despite all the current heaviness, I hope you found something that brought you peace, joy or solace today. If not, that's okay.
We'll try again tomorrow.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
As I'm reading the Oresteia this weekend, these beads resonate for me.

DON'T WORRY, BOYS ARE HARD TO FIND - SASCHA RILEY INTERVIEW - FULL AUDIO...
youtu.be/4sT5OGcTIMY?...
Hi, Iβm Sascha Riley
I say release the files
Apparently he was adopted by a Williams Riley in 1977. I canβt bring myself to post his comments about his experiences from age 9-13 with Epstein because they are so disturbing and shocking and illegal. Just google for yourself or go to Threads.
βThey first abuse you, then they get you on film abusing others, and now they have you trapped as well.β -Sascha Riley
No kidding
As a beader, I'm always enchanted by the deep history of the craft. #beads #ancientbeads
I also find the challenge of interpretation interesting as evidenced by the original understanding of the piece here bit.ly/4prnvkb
I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
Agree π― With Reverend Johnson......
