do you ever meet someone and think “wow you’re my person”

all the stars in the sky shine for you

being single was okay when i thought i was straight,, now i just want a gf

sleepy girls are the most precious thing on this planet,,,, thank you

eek so i actually kinda went on a date and it was vv wholesome. we bought a stuffed animal puppy and we shared a crepe under the stars. we held hands and talked and then i held her. it was kinda greatttt. also for anyone who didn’t have a valentine you are still loved and valid and beautiful/handsome,,,,, i’m just kinda excited and gay and wanted to share

my girlfriend is really out here just being cute and you’re telling me i can’t hold her in my arms and kiss her. homophobia at its peak…. i’d like to speak the manager!!

i went roller skating with my girlfriend a few weeks ago and it was so cute. she was so good and i kept falling like the dork i am but she said it was cute and everytime i started tripping we just giggled and we held hands while we were skating around. it fulfilled my soul

calling all lesbians and sapphics, we should make an island called lesbian nation so we can all live without any terfs or bigots

Sappho in if not, winter (tr. Anne Carson)

the pupils in your eyes were wide

the thought of you makes my heart cartwheel

i think i might be falling for you

i wish i didn’t have to leave.

sometimes i think about gay people who lived centuries ago who thought they were all alone who imagined a world where they could live openly as themselves who met in secret spoke in code defied everything and everyone just to exist and i’m like..i gotta sit down. whew i gotta sit down

this is why this sappho fragment hits me so hard

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

Gordon Bowsher to Gilbert Bradley, 1940s

“What a comfort my journal is. How I can write in crypt all as it really is and throw off my mind and console myself. I thank God for it.”

29th April 1832, Anne Lister.

The Woes of Mortality

Sappho, fr. 91 Edmonds (=Aristotle Rhetoric1398b)

To die is an evil,
For so the gods have judged;
For were it otherwise,
They too would die.

…τὸ ἀποθνῄσκειν κακόν: οἱ θεοὶ γὰρ οὕτω κεκρίκασιν: ἀπέθνησκον γὰρ ἄν.

Vanitas Still Life in a Niche, Adriaen Coorte, 1688

…Mori malum: Dei enim sic iudicaverunt: morerentur enim.
