How Rome Made Women Wear Virtue
Roman female portraiture did far more than preserve likeness. It turned moral expectation into visible form and made gendered virtue available to public scrutiny.
Who is the founder of "progressive Christianity"? The answer will surprise you.

Your mileage may vary, but I find "to do" lists a helpful trauma recovery tool-- provided they're realistic, don't get too long, don't get too complex, & especially provided we're absolutely committed to not shaming or punishing ourselves when not every item gets checked off.
Always listen to @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social
(and get her new book, duh)
You're not "choosing" to "focus on the negative." You focus is getting HIJACKED-- you've just been conditioned to blame & shame yourself for things you experience & feel.
Easy does it. You're working on taking back your cognitive steering wheel, little bit by little bit.

"By July 2025, more than 300,000 Black women had exited the workforce, and that number scaled to 600,000 in November."
Accepting that we're never going to know exactly why they did what they did, exactly what they were thinking, exactly why they didn't love us, exactly what the f*ck their deal is-- that's one of the hardest parts of realistic trauma recovery. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Ah , being an incrediable human being is a plus.

If "willpower" was the key to trauma recovery, every survivor would be skipping down Healed Lane whistling that "Happy" song. Trauma survivors do NOT lack "willpower." They're the most willful people you're ever going to meet.
Turns out, though, recovery isn't that simple.

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

Trauma survivors who are frustrated w/ "sleep hygiene" & "mindfulness" wielded as solutions to their struggles w/ exhaustion, dissociation, & anxiety aren't being "difficult." There are valid reasons CPTSD makes these tools complicated or less effective for survivors.
Ease up.
This spring, we set our clocks back to 499 BCE for the Ionian Revolt against Persian hegemony in Asia Minor.

Black Dem strategists and lawmakers are frustrated that Crockett lost her primary — but they’re not exactly surprised.
“For people who understand politics, [Crockett] literally had no ground game,” said Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones.
She added: “This L is on her.”
Oiwa, appearing in a lantern. Her green fire is melting the lantern from the inside out, and Oiwa, the right side of her face centered on her eye showing a horrific wound, is screaming, holding what looks like a baby as she emerges into the otherwise picturesque ukiyo-e night, in art by Matthew Meyer.
The weeping ghost of Oiwa originally hunted her husband, who disfigured her and had her killed so he could marry another. Everywhere he looked as he fled his crime, her weeping face was there: and so he slew the innocent to flee her until he went mad #PhantomsFriday

Image from the interior of an Attic red-figure kylix depicting the naked body of Jason, helpfully labeled, hanging out of the dragon’s mouth. The Golden Fleece is draped over a tree in the background. Helmeted Athena stands in front of the dragon, a spear in one hand and an owl in the other.
I want you all to appreciate this Attic kylix from the 470s BC depicting the scene where Jason is supposed to be killing the Colchian dragon that guards the Golden Fleece. Except for some reason, it’s either swallowing or barfing him while Athena checks in.
