My photo shows the front of a warm-yellow coloured Minoan clay flask, hand painted in black with a frontally depicted octopus. The flask measures 27 cm (about 10.5 inches) in height. It has a short spout at the top with a small loop handle at either side. The octopus is swimming diagonally with its eight writhing, sucker-lined arms covering the whole surface of the flask. It stares out at the viewer with wide, almost cartoon-like eyes. Additional motifs include sea urchins, tritons, small rocks and seaweed. Minoan decoration depicting sea motifs is known by scholars as the ‘Marine Style’. The flask was excavated in 1903 at a Bronze Age settlement site at Palaikastro. The Palaikastro excavations, carried out between 1902 and 1906, were run by R. Bosanquet and R.M. Dawkins from the British School of Athens. The flask is part of the collections at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Crete.

Marvellous 3,500 year-old Minoan clay flask decorated with a wide-eyed octopus 🐙❤️

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

For me, mad liberation is not about making mad people sane at all. It’s about challenging why all of society has consigned the mad to a social position that ensures we receive total brutality.

Tot just comentàvem això amb l’amic amb qui estic passejant! Ara diria que està desangelat… La reforma de l’espigó és xula, sobretot per a gaudir-ne un dia com avui entre setmana. Però és la intersecció de tots els mals.

If we identify someone’s distress as a personality trait , we forget the truth of the story in its simplest suffering , we forget that harm is done and one is expected to react.

Sé un referente, sé un tío guay y no esperes que estén deseando escucharnos a nosotras si no nos dejas más remedio que ser la mamá que riñe SIEMPRE. Nosotras también somos muy guays cuando no nos toca hacer de niñeras.
