You and she work well together, no surprise since you’re meant for each other–and I don’t just mean in the romantic way you keep botching up. You’re a team, a good one. You watch out for each other, and that’s good. But that doesn’t mean you’re meant to do every single little thing together. Yes, you have a shared destiny, but you have an individual one, and so does she.

Bisexual Men

Just a thought but bisexual men (and m-spec men in general) are:

-not gay in denial

-don’t deserve to be your scapegoats for the AIDs crisis

-valid mlm regardless of whom they date (and stop insinuating that their girlfriends are their “beards”) 

-can be polyamorous

-can be asexual and still valid

-can be aromantic and still valid

-awesome in general!

A timely reminder of how multi-cultural the ancient world really was. 

Seated Buddha Bronze, 1st to mid-2nd century, Gandhara (modern Pakistan). Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (X). 

This is one of the earliest depictions of the Buddha in human form. Gandharan artists were familiar with Greek and Roman art from military expeditions, diplomacy, and trade. This Buddha’s unique halo is reminiscent of depictions of the god Helios in Greek and Sol in Roman art. The drape of the tunic echoes Hellenistic and Roman garments, as well as depictions of the Iranian god Mithra, and the Roman god Mithras.

Fascinating insights about Floralia and Flora’s cult. 

The Floralia is a Roman festival honoring Flora, the goddess of spring, flower gardens, and crops. It was held each year from April 27th or 28th to May 3rd. She is married to Favonius, the God of the West Wind. Flora was one of the most important goddesses in the Roman pantheon, one of only 15 deities to have a cult administered by a state priesthood consisting of a married couple, who were appointed for life.

The celebration of the Floralia included theatrical performances, competitive games, and a sacrifice to Flora, presumably at her temple on the lower slope of the Aventine Hill near the Circus Maximus.

Manipulation: I 'healed' some of the fresco's more obvious flaws and added the floral border.
