Your heart is not a state secret. You are meant to declare allegiances. You are meant to have favourites. Write the letter. Miss the train. Stay up until dawn talking. You should be caught red-handed loving something, someone.

Found a tiny tarot card on the floor yesterday and held on to it to gift to someone because I didn’t resonate with it. Within 30 minutes I met a girl at an art show with the tarot card tattooed on her arm !

the fact that this was painted in 1818 france says that euro/settlers actually don't have an excuse of why they "suck" at drawing black people

It’s always baffled me that I have never seen anyone, left or right, use a different photo of this guy. I thought it was just the only decent picture that’s publicly available but no there’s a bunch of others

This is a 15th-century depiction of a childbirth scene & prayer for a safe delivery

You can see where generations of women desperately kissed & touched this page during their deliveries, hoping the prayer would bring them & their children safely thru the birthing experience💔
