In an act of religious extremism a tourist from the US smashed 2 Graeco-Roman statues in the Israel Museum: a head of the goddess #Athena (2nd century CE) and a statue of a #griffin clutching the wheel of fate, symbolising the goddess #Nemesis (210-211 CE). The giffin statue, as evident from published photographs, was broken into pieces. The tourist had targeted the statues because he deemed them “idolatrous” and in opposition to the Torah (Old Testament).
@MishaVanMollusq I am hopeful it will be revealed eventually. People associate this kind of destruction with ISIS but all religious extremism breeds hate and destruction.
@qblueheart@smutstodon I will be publishing mine on my website and on Patreon and post a link here using the Kinktober hashtag 🙂
Replying to the kink list post would also be an option!
Kassandra stirred in her sleep. They had been celebrating her and Helenos' birthday and both of them had been pretty drunk. In the twilight she could see the wine jug Helenos and her had drained the night before. Beside her, Helenos was still asleep. But he wasn't alone. A large snake was coiled by his head, its tongue darting out to wash his ears! Kassandra would have screamed...
Her reptilian eyes caught sight of the instrument that made this wondrous music. The hypnotic sound and the sensual movement of the instrument completely mesmerised her. An unearthly voice manifested in her head:
"What a good gorgon girl you are. That's right, keep those fatal eyes on the pungi. What a lovely dance your hair is showing me, truly heartwarming."
Roman sarcophagus with #Selene, the #Moon, in the top left corner with her team of horses and Helios in his quadriga on the right. The scene shows the creation of man by #Prometheus.
🏛️ Roman sarcophagus found in a mausoleum near the ancient Puteoli (Pozzuoli, Naples). Dated to the 4th century CE. Today in the National Archaeological Museum, #Naples.
@phistorians@antiquidons@mythology I find the explanation of Hermes' role especially fascinating: asking his dad (and his wife) for money to pay Hades so humans can be alive. Do we owe our lives to Hermes hustling for us? 🤔
Remember that poll #Patreon did where creators could vote for a variety of features?
At the bottom of the barrel were crypto currencies, still a hot topic at the time of the poll. #Crypto was the only feature that received an overwhelming amount of "please don't" votes. No other feature even had double digits of "please don't". But guess what Patreon still offers anyway:
@shobe@jbenjamint The "adult patreons" are already banned. I know Pornhub had to rely on crypto when payment processors refused to work with them but this is not the first choice.
