I fancy Homer, Euripides, Greek 🎭,
the Ionic chiton, polysemy, the ephebate, & the Athenian Acropolis,
the alt‑80s,
ephemera,
& your footnotes.
Stephen with a V is fluent in the moodboards of imperial collapse.
Cape Sounion is Church.

🤣😂 And she hasn't even gotten to the part where the Evangelicals believe "The Rapture" or 2nd coming of Christ is happening on... *checks calendar* ... Tuesday.

Don't worry. As all cults do with deadlines, they will make infinite extensions to another date when this date comes to pass.

"Remember what I told you
If they hated me they will hate youx

"These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you"

Meanwhile, in Mississippi...

2 separate "hangings", 2 young men, 2 different places, 2 varied backgrounds
1 thing in common
I can hear the crickets out my window here tonight

The Heartstopper star’s exhilarating reboot of Euripides is the first debut play to grace the hallowed Olivier stage – but it nearly didn’t happen. ‘Its not in my bones,’ he says

Yesterday at Ye Houses of Parliament my former PhD student and colleague Dr Peter Swallow MP hosted the launch of my book with Durham colleague Prof Arlene Holmes-Henderson promoting Classical Civilisation and Ancient History in secondary education. It was a joy.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

To kiss it better,
I let you rip out my heart.
You just leave your scab.

You find me so strange
I practice in the mirror
Hoping you might see
That I am your reflection
Glances you won't be

What we need is a Boudicca-level attorney with the oratorical power to make every modern-day Cicero stain his 2-piece Menswear-Outlet toga with all his bodily excretions and secretions.
