AXIOM 21:"Succeed in not fearing the lion, and the lion will fear YOU. Say to suffering, 'I will that you shall become a pleasure,' and it will prove to be such-- and even more than a pleasure, it will be a blessing."

16th-century Ottoman talismanic shirt is covered in intricate scripts, including Muhaqqaq, Naskh, Ghubar, Thuluth and square Kufic. This shirt, with its decoration, parallels a group of similar Ottoman shirts in the Topkapi Saray Museum, all dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, with the crescent moon and cypress trees so common in 16th-century Ottoman styles (shown above from the front, below from the back).

This is not the same as having random sigils on your shirt. I’m looking at you Actual Pain.

LOL Actual Pain

So I usually wouldn’t post anything like this but I don’t really want to offend anyone so if I unfollow your blog don’t be offended, I’m just unfollowing any social justice blogs who I don’t actually know as a person because duh. By duh I mean I am so sick of a lot of that shit.

Frederick Douglass -Source-The Art Institute of Chicago -Date-1847-52 |Author-Samuel J. Miller; American, 1822-1888 
Frederick Douglass stood up to speak in favor of women’s right to vote.
In 1848, Douglass was the only African American to attend the first women’s right’s convention, Many of those present opposed the idea, including influential Quakers. Douglass stood and spoke eloquently in favor; he said that he could not accept the right to vote as a black man if women could not also claim that right. He suggested that the world would be a better place if women were involved in the political sphere.

“In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power of the government of the world.”

Douglass’ powerful words rang true with enough attendees that the resolution passed.
