We’ve been talking about equal pay for women since they had the right to vote, for God’s sake, and why hasn’t that changed? Why don’t people of color get the recognition they deserve? I grew up in a society here in Los Angeles, you know, and at times, couldn’t understand why I wasn’t playing the roles that were afforded to everybody else. Was I too ethnic or not ethnic enough? I think it speaks highly that a show like Mr. Robot has allowed a guy like me to be a male lead, or considered for one, which I don’t think would have happened five years ago.
goddesses: aphrodite
aphrodite is an ancient greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. in hesiod’s theogony, aphrodite is born off the coast of cythera from the foam produced by uranus’s genitals, which his son cronus has severed and thrown into the sea. in homer’s iliad, however, she is the daughter of zeus and dione. aphrodite was married to hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and metalworking.
along with athena and hera, aphrodite was one of the three goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the trojan war, and she plays a major role throughout the iliad. aphrodite has been featured in western art as a symbol of female beauty and has appeared in numerous works of western literature. she is a major deity in modern neopagan religions, including the church of aphrodite, wicca, and hellenismos.
Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, ‘cause they knew death was better than bondage.
