I'm an introverted, history-loving wallflower who loves to write and lose myself in dreams. 💜🖤

Cut it open and let it go, such freedom to release the poison inside. 🖤🖤

“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic - the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone”
- Charles de Lint

Statue of Hatshepsut

A life-sized granite statue of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. The statue depicts her in a seated pose, wearing the nemes headdress and kilt, traditional attire for Egyptian kings, but also includes feminine titles and epithets.

Hatshepsut is portrayed as a king, wearing the royal nemes headdress and kilt, but with feminine attributes in the inscriptions.

While the statue features the throne name Ma'at-Ka-Re, #Hatshepsut's feminine titles, "Lady of the Two Lands" and "Bodily Daughter of Re," are also inscribed.

The statue reflects Hatshepsut's careful balance between her identity as a woman and her role as a ruler, as she adopted royal titles and attire while maintaining feminine distinctions.

New Kingdom, mid-18th Dynasty, joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, ca. 1479-1458 BC.

Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 29.3.3

They say there’s a hidden wing in Prague’s Clementinum where every book has been burned, yet the ashes still whisper. Scholars who wander too far into that dark chamber claim they can hear voices reading aloud, each book demanding to be remembered. #FairyTaleTuesday

"It's true we don't know what we've got until it's gone, but we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime."

“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me
