Been looking at some black figure pottery recently and that resulted in a gif of Athena’s least favorite gorgon lady seeking vengeance on a certain sea god.
“The captain of a controversial ship that saved migrants in the Mediterranean Sea has refused to accept a medal for her work.
Pia Klemp, who is German, gained attention for rescuing thousands of stranded migrants with her crew as part of the nongovernmental organization Sea Watch International. For her efforts, she reportedly faces up to 20 years in prison in Italy, where the hard-line anti-immigrant government accused her of assisting illegal immigration.
In a Facebook message published Tuesday night, Klemp announced that she was rejecting the Grand Vermeil Medal, which the city of Paris awards for bravery. She told Mayor Anne Hidalgo that the city was brimming with hypocrisy.
“Your police [steal] blankets from people that you force to live on the streets, while you raid protests and criminalize people that are standing up for rights of migrants and asylum seekers. … You want to give me a medal for actions that you fight in your own ramparts,” Klemp wrote in the scathing post.
“It is time we call out hypocrite honorings and fill the void with social justice,” she said.
She went on to say that people don’t need medals. “We do not need authorities deciding about who is a ‘hero’ and who is ‘illegal,’ ” she said. “In fact they are in no position to make this call, because we are all equal.”

It took me all of two days to read Written in Red and Murder of Crows, Anne Bishop’s (the author of the high fantasy Black Jewels series) take on the urban fantasy/paranormal genre. Since I can’t stop thinking about the books and I’m not quite ready to leave the world of Lakeside Courtyard and its terra indigene residents, it’s playlist time.
Inspired by Meg Corbyn fiddling with the radio in her office, trying to figure out which music she likes, and the songs that remind her of her world.

And for a while things were cold; They were scared down in their homes. The forest that once was green Was colored black by those killing machines. But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men And that’s how the story goes, The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

After I have traveled so far We’d set the fire to the third bar We’d share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off
* This one is maybe a tad cheaty because Meg doesn’t see Ferrymans Landing in Murder of Crows, but Steve Ferryman and the Intuits clearly needed a happy song.
