Sappho wasn’t a myth.
She was a real poet writing about women, desire, intimacy, and devotion thousands of years ago.

Our history didn’t start recently. We just weren’t always taught it.

Take a minute and read Duane’s life story. Link in the first comment. If you’re not old enough to remember the AIDS Crisis, it’s a good lesson about it.

It's your birthday, Duane.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.
