Flicking embers into daffodils

A nice thing to link to: Jeannelle M. Ferreira's "The House of Women" (2025), named after the site on Akrotiri because it is a story from when the mountain was Minoan and the walls of the city where libations were offered 𐀤𐀨𐀯𐀊 𐂕𐄽𐄇 were painted with dolphins and saffron gatherers. I have a great affection for this story with its ground pigments and grilled eel and lovers describable as sapphic a thousand years before the tenth Muse. Even in cataclysms, it is worth holding on.

Definitely transported me right to the place and time.

Yay! Feel free to proliferate. It's a good place to visit, although I would only want to live there before the boom.

I shared it on Bluesky!

Will share later on Mastodon
