To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

This is going to stop trans rights, and the forward momentum of queer equality, by several decades.

"Five judges from the UK supreme court ruled unanimously that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs)."

Phidias!!

ancient greek sculptor - in bonze & marble

known for zeus at olympia + athena in pantheon

ANDDD painter, engraver + metalworker

his lost artworks mentioned above survive in "descriptions of pausanias" (greek traveler + geographer)

these are the re-makings of the statues:

OKAY HELLO?? these are beautiful (especially considering they're re-makes), eSPECIALLY ATHENA. THE DETAIL. AAAAA

SHE'S 12 METERS TALL. i love that it also shows a human besides the statue, because it really exemplifies the POWER that she has, and the grace and the fact that shes A GODDESSSSS AA

anyway

phidias was commissioned for both statues by pericles, a greek politician + general (zeus was straight after athena)

alongside that, his workshop were also found by archaeologists, where they saw that a lot of the moulds found were also used to make his statue.

ALSO you can find writings by pausania here:

i started researching into this artist because apparently the pose on painting Napoléon on his Imperial Throne by jean-august-dominique ingres is inspired by phidias' sculpture of zeus:

i mean jesus christ this screams power. he (the painter) uses a lot of references used in art history to build up the image of a powerful figure (almost a deity)

anyway good fun
