10 days and still no plumber/money run or macro fail dilemas?

 

He robbed me/ reverting back to the path/slipping my skin moorings

It had all seized up, the rough- said parts, where she had caved. Was it in ? Or under? she wasn't sure, except to say that things had slid, and now the head marooned, sat stiffly like some mute siren-shriek, atop a pole. Mournful on the rocks, dragged in by the tides and the unsafe modesty below. These were the places where she suffered openly, but in secret, behind a line, in degrees that separated from reason. Nursing her tomb, the underling; neglected and rejected in full parts. The soft placed power of the old ways. Full of rightness, but dangerously hemmed in. Except now the tide had caught, and new currents break, somehow no longer confounded by the past. And within these, there comes a candour- a willingness to right the line. To break lose of all the twists and turns; and again do that dangerous thing:  Become a full bodied woman rising. MB

Go, sister, burn, sister! Only way they'll learn, sister!🎵

" Daughter of Fortis and Ceto , being the most famous and terrible Gorgon , Medusa , she was one of the most feared figures in classical mythology . The hissing snakes in her hair, the sharp boar teeth, her roars and her blood-soaked gaze that turned anyone who looked at her to stone, made this woman one of the most terrible and famous mortal personalities. mythological .But the story that lies behind its furious aesthetic hides behind it a plot that is broadly related to a large part of the current events that concern society . Because the truth is that this horrible appearance of Medusa has its origin in the punishment that Athena , daughter of Zeus , gave her for having been sexually abused by Poseidon , the god of the sea. Blamed for his own rape of her and turned into a horrifying being, Medusa also ends up being decapitated by Perseus while she sleeps.A fantasy story whose significance could explain part of current thinking. Blaming the victim continues to be one of the great claims that the ' Me Too ' movement, which began against Harvey Weinstein and expanded globally to denounce sexual assault and harassment , seeks to change by demanding voice and belief people who have suffered any signs of abuse.Now, years after this movement came to light, a sculpture has been unveiled in New York 's Collect Pond Park to honor this movement. The statue is about the figure of ' Medusa with the head of Perseus' , by the Italian-Argentine artist Luciano Garbati . Not without criticism for its male authorship and for holding the head of the murderer Perseus instead of that of Poseidon , the statue, according to its author, tries to be a symbol of emotional catharsis in which many women have found identity Garbati has been inspired for her creation by a bronze figure dating from the 16th century by Benvenuto Cellini through which , in addition to the injustice of the punishment meted out to Medusa , she has also sought to express in her figure the number of female mythological personalities that They were turned into monsters.

Priviledges revoked

The Wheels of Chance by H. G. Wells:
of the other women of her set, vice of the recognised description was, perhaps, permissible to those contemptible weaklings, men, but this was Evil on the High Roads. She was bound to make a fuss, and these fusses invariably took the final form of a tightness of money for Bechamel. Albeit, and he felt it was heroic of him to resolve so, it was worth doing if it was to be done. His imagination worked on a kind of matronly Valkyrie, and the noise of pursuit and vengeance was in the air. The idyll still had the front of the stage. That accursed detective, it seemed, had been thrown off the scent, and that, at any rate, gave a night's respite. But things must be brought to an issue

Pre -Thai

"..Like when you going through hell, and the mission feels impossible, but you not allowed to fail, and all you can do is keep your chin up and keep going, then when you least expect it you emerge from this dark never-ending hole, and... you made it! And you can't believe it, and you've changed inside and you're better and stronger and calmer and more fun than you were before you journeyed merrily in2 hell. And as we stepped out into the light, a little bruised and battered, but still ok, we blinked and tried to focus then looked at each other and laughed out loud. Then ¥o-landi said, "Why don't we call the album MOUNT NINJI & DA NICE TIME KID?" And Ninji's shoulders relaxed and he slumped back into his chair and said, "You a fuckin genius! I love you!" - NINJA & YO-LANDI

All things dappy...


Loving this naughty little Afro-urban-Hellenic scallywag. Channeller of Esu the divine mischief maker, the trickster at the cross roads.
