i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

if we're black sails homeric epic / odyssey-posting. I think miranda functions as a sort of amalgam and stand-in for so many of the epic's women. she's cassandra. knowing the future, but never believed. she's penelope. husband forcibly taken as a result of political machinations beyond her control (presumed dead). she's helen. fleeing her husband's house with another man. she's calypso. trapped on an island, only her lover for company. she's circe. the strong and beguiling witch. she's athena. providing wise council and divine guidance. she's clytemnestra. her fury strikes down a powerful man, as revenge for what she's lost. mistress, wife, mother. indeed

“My basic assumption was, you know, the judge had obviously made his mind up about our guilt before the trial even began, and so it didn’t take me by surprise at all when I actually was sentenced to 50 years in the Bureau of Prisons. I knew, like, this is about making an example, this is about creating a narrative that, you know, anyone who resists the Trump administration’s agenda of mass deportation, is going to be made an example of, is gonna be treated this way, that if you stand up, if you speak out, we will bury you. I knew that that was what this was about the entire time that we were going to trial, and it was why I said from the very beginning, “I’m not gonna plea to anything.” You know, like they offered us plea deals, you know, we could have signed to 15 years for material support for terrorism. And I took the risk that I took of, you know, going to trial because I was like, I’m not going to create evidence of this non-existent terrorist conspiracy. That goes against everything I believe in.” — Autumn Hill

if my girlfriend was talking enthusastically about an interest that we did not share, i would simply listen with excited interest.  rip to straight men but im different
