Quote posting this in case any of my moots are a fan of randomly buying nice things for women.

Thanks to producer Beth, the mega BBC team (with legendary Lucy), and of course to the best audience in radio🏺🎤❤️

Thanks to Susan Santa at the Library Journal for her kind review of No Friend to This House!
We love you, libraries 📚

“Haynes excels at retelling classic myths, focusing on the women who have been sidelined, misunderstood, and maligned...”

No man who kissed a woman with so much love and longing could ever leave her, unless all the poets were liars.

Check out Heracles’ martial arts moves! Next time you have to wrestle a protean sea creature, this is the hold I recommend

Page 78 of Divine Might, a book by writer, broadcaster & classicist Natalie Haynes, about goddesses in Greek myth. These paragraphs are from the chapter about the queen of the gods, Hera. They remind us about NASA’s Juno spacecraft and its 2011 mission to Jupiter and its moons.

Myth made real. Beautiful and somehow weirdly moving.

Look at this version of the Io story (and let’s gloss over the victim-blaming in the info card…). Is that Argos the hundred-eyed monster beside her? I know it looks like a man, but he’s covered in little eyes! I wonder if this is a costume from a stage play about Io? That would explain (1/2)
