Lilith I saw you arrive. You walked through into Hades’ home looking dazed but relieved. I wondered if your life had been so taxing that coming to this place felt like a heaven. Its a lot more fun down here than up there with the gods, what with their fake smiles, white robes and ambiguous […]
Feminism and Male Domestic Violence Victims: A Look at Daev’s Case
I’ve kept the title very bland and uninspiring because I am not here to say something flowery and pretty like I have in other blog posts. I am here to talk about something very real and serious. Over the last 24 hours, we have been saddened by the news of Daev’s passing. I will admit […]
