when anne boleyn died she was mostly likely in her mid-thrities, and perhaps looked older given the years of stress she lived as queen, she may have had a few greys hair and fine lines on her face

when elizabeth i met her troops at tilbury she was 54 years old, she had bad teeth and thin hair

when eleanor of aquitaine became queen of england she was already 30 years old, when her son richard began king she was 67 and lived some of the most active and adventurous years of her life until her death at 80

when catherine of aragon arrived at her trial at blackfriars and begged henry on hers knees to reconsider and then walked out of court and refused to return she was 43 years old, she was plump and tired looking after years of miscarriages

when her daughter mary raised an army for her right to the throne and entered london she was 37 years old, she was very small and looked much older than her age because of the years of bad health she had endured

anyway women don’t have to be 25 and hot to be important and we should let these women be the ages they were when they did these things

In 2017, Florida beach goers formed a human chain to save an entire family from drowning. After 2 children were stuck in a rip current, their mom, dad, cousin, grandma, and 4 strangers also got stuck when they swam out to save them. While law enforcement was waiting for a boat, people on the beach began forming a human chain, which grew to about 80 people, and all the stranded swimmers were rescued. Source Source 2 Source 3

Il minareto della moschea Defterdar

Solitamente un minareto di una moschea termina con un alem, l’ornamento metallico a forma di mezzaluna. Il minareto della moschea Defterdar ad Eyüp possiede invece non una ma sei mezzelune concentriche, con sopra un calamaio ed una penna.

La piccola moschea venne realizzata dal famoso architetto Sinan nel 1540 su commissione di Mahmut Çelebi detto “Nazlı” (il capriccioso), Ministro delle Finanze (defterdar in turco, da qui il nome della moschea) del sultano Solimano il Magnifico

Fu Mahmut Çelebi a volere sul minareto della sua moschea il calamaio e la penna per ricordare che egli fu un famoso calligrafo della sua epoca. Infatti il ministro era stato un allievo dello sceicco Hamdullah, il fondatore della scuola calligrafica ottomana, e nel tempo libero continuava a coltivare la sua grande passione nell’epoca di massimo splendore dellimpero ottomano.

Il soprannome “Nazlı” si dice derivasse dall’avarizia con cui esercitava le sue funzioni di ministro.

Sulla mia spalla

Appoggia la tua testa sulla mia spalla
per qualche minuto
e non pensare.

Ho una spalla solida e
resistente,
ampia metratura,
luminosa e silenziosa.
Astenersi perditempo

(l'ho detto d'istinto,
so che non hai tempo da perdere,
non astenerti).

La mia spalla è servita a fine ottocento, come rotaia
per la Transiberiana;
all'inizio del novecento
sulla mia spalla
tutte le avanguardie hanno fatto
leva,
per non parlare della prima guerra,
sempre sulla mia spalla
utilizzata come cannone o baionetta.
Lo stile liberty è nato
dalla mia spalla,
che è stata un comodo
bunker, negli anni grigi.
Con la mia spalla hanno fatto
la rivoluzione i figli dei fiori,
la decadenza
i nipoti dei fiori.
La mia vigorosa spallata
ha fatto crollare il muro di Berlino
e il capitalismo moderno.

Ora è qui,
disposta sotto la tua guancia
e vuol dirti soltanto:
“Dimentica”.

-Ivan Talarico
