Oil painting of Dido and Aeneas, among many other people Dido and Aeneas (Early 1700s) Nicolas Verkolye (Dutch, 1673-1746) Oil on canvas Taken from The Aeneid by the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 B.c.), this densely composed and theatrical scene portrays the arrival of the shipwrecked Trojan prince Aeneas at the court of Dido, the legendary queen and founder of the city of Carthage. Venus, who is portrayed in the upper right corner with Cupid, made Dido fall hopelessly in love with Aeneas. The episode ends sadly with Dido's suicide, prompted by Aeneas's inevitable departure.

The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis, a 19th century oil painting of a mythological figure and a nymph The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis 1818 Jacques-Louis David French, 1748-1825 Oil on canvas This image of ideal love was inspired by a 1699 French novel based on characters from Homer's Odyssey. Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, falls in love with the nymph Eucharis. Filial duty, however, requires that he end their romance in order to search for his missing father. The bright reds and blues contrasting with the cool flesh tones, the clarity of line, and the polished forms are characteristic of David's late paintings.

She sure is lousy at telling anecdotes about her relationship to gender and sexuality…
“You’re really fine with it?” I was struggling to believe my first coming out — Ben, James and Sophie aside — was going well, considering I hadn’t prepared for it in the slightest. I’d had vague thoughts about assembling a PowerPoint presentation; clearly, it wouldn’t have been necessary. “Of course I am, Alex! I’m— I mean, my friend is— Damn. I’m falling over myself here.” She took my hand and squeezed it. “One of my friends is trans. Just like you. I mean, okay, she didn’t come out to herself while modelling a bloody dress on a bloody stand at a bloody trade show, but, you know, everyone’s coming out story is weird in its own way, right?” That seemed suggestive. “Do you have a coming out story?” She shrugged. “I’m bi. Kissed a— a girl in a school play.” She coughed, suddenly embarrassed. “I was, um, not supposed to. But she’d been giving me these looks all the way through rehearsal, and one thing led to another. Radical reinterpretation of Romeo & Juliet.”

I read this passage to @quephird.bsky.social and she called it “Sappho Tweet 13”.
I told him that I liked their stomachs. That I liked the way they played with their hair. I liked the way they would take off their shoes and socks to walk through the grass. I liked the way they were casually intimate with each other. I liked the part where the back of the thigh meets the curve of the butt (I’m not made of stone, sue me). I liked their collarbones and the way you can sometimes see their heartbeat against their skin if you’re close enough. I liked the way their hands looked holding a pen. I liked the sound of their laughter. I liked seeing their muscles move. I liked the way they put their hair behind their ear.

5 This feature does enable a neat quine: the Perl program “Illegal division by zero at /tmp/quine.pl line 1.”, when saved in the appropriate location, outputs “Illegal division by zero at /tmp/quine.pl line 1.” The reason for this behavior is left as an exercise for the reader.

They combined the symbols to form a pink-and-yellow Star of David.
A chart, in German, showing various badges worn on concentration camp uniforms. The top row shows red, green, blue, purple, pink, black, and gray downward-facing triangles for different types of prisoners (labeled in German); then there’s a row where the triangles have a same-color stripe at the top; then one with a black circle below; then one where the colored triangle is on top of an upward-facing yellow triangle. Below that are additional details about the uniforms and badges.
