terrorist attack in portland…white man murdered (slit throats) two ppl trying to defend Muslim women..

where is his mug shot?

Just so everyone knows, this isn’t making local headlines. This is not being acknowledged enough! I saw two vague reports about it, but nothing else. This is a huge headline and none of the main news channels are covering it!!

Places I’ve seen Hermes

ithalassa:

– in my job, where I send/deliver the mail for my department

– Most days after work, with different dogs running up to hug me and annoying their owners when they refuse to move until I pet them.

– In my classmate, who came into class wearing sparkling gold sneakers with wings

– Remnants in the park, a broken glass perfect for holding an offering of flowers

– In the statuette held in the museum a walk away from campus

– In the hawks that watch me at work and on the road

– Especially that one hawk that let me get five feet from it on my first day of classes

– in the wind when you’re going fast

feel free to add your own!

I love to think of the array of jewelry that Aphrodite must keep. Necklaces forged by Hephaestus, rings stolen by Hermes, earrings bought from a market by Adonis, bracelets taken from battle winnings by Ares. Jewelry tossed angrily by scorned lovers, or offered in heartbreak.

You want to hear some YA novel protagonist romance level shit? My long term boyfriend and I have matching facial scars, right on our cheekbones with perfect action movie hero placement- both given to us when we were very little, years before we even met, by our siblings. Straight up ridiculous “Destiny subplot” level shit.
