Sappho’s Girls ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hi! Last Sunday over on Substack, I posted “The Most Influential People In Ancient History” (pt. 2), about Homer and Sappho. I mentioned that there’s been different theories about Sappho’s role (whether she ran some sort of “school” for young ladies or taught them or what) and those ideas, some of which started back in… 

What Zannanza might have gained ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hello! Last week on Substack, I posted an article, โ€œThe Most Influential People of the Ancient Worldโ€. It got a really awesome response! Thank you so super-much for that! ๐Ÿ˜„ Part of that article was about z Hittite prince, Zannanza, son of ล uppiluliuma I. To recap, ล uppiluliuma sent Zannanza to Egypt at the request of… 

River Nymphs ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ

There’s a nice stream near where I live, but I’ve never seen nymphs like these there. I wonder who they’re waiting for? I hope they won’t have to wait too long… ๐Ÿ˜‰

The next Thursday afternoon, around 1600, my phone lit up with Coleโ€™s number. Thursday is one of my short days and I was in the kitchen with Tee, waiting for an early dinner to be delivered. It was my turn to pick and Iโ€™d ordered butter chicken curry. I usually pick Indian when we order…

Falling For Raine (Ch. 8: Erin)

Itโ€™s 3 oโ€™clock and Iโ€™m sitting at my desk with my head in both hands. I sucked at the meeting and Mannyโ€”that is, Mr. Tedros, as Iโ€™d better be careful to call himโ€”gave me stink-eye when we broke for lunch. I canโ€™t say I didnโ€™t deserve it. First, we are behind and while thatโ€™s mainly due to factors beyond our control, I was so scattered…

Autumn Rains ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€ฆ Some rain must fall. They say it likes itโ€™s a bad thing. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love the rain. I love rainy days. Theyโ€™re so peaceful and the sound rain makes falling through the leaves is the most soothing sound I know. Sitting on my veranda with a cup of hot tea and watching the rain… 

!WIP Ch. 13 “My Sweetie Pie” ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ

Iโ€™ve been messing around again, trying to get some pics to illustrate these chapters. Riley created those amazing pics of her super-amazing-hot volleyball players! It must be her wizarding skills because getting the old reliable image model (Flux 1.1 Pro) to cooperate pool-shooting pics was a challenge! After a bunch tries, I finally got two, but they donโ€™t have much to do with my prompt!… 

!WIP Ch. 12 “Behind the 8-Ball” ๐Ÿ”’๐Ÿ”ฅ

Iโ€™ve been fooling around a little, think of getting a pic of Jae. And Tee. I know some people might prefer to just go with their imaginations. Others like an image. I can feel either way. But here goesโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll post these two. Hopefully thatโ€™s OK? Jaelyn Alexander (Jae) Teagan Alexander (Tee) Thank you more…
