Monday Is No Fun Day, An Open Thread In The Dark

 

Maestro dei Cassoni Campana - Theseus and Minotaur. 1510 - 1515  Try climbing out of the maze, you dolt.

Last Monday of 2021. How did today go? Didja have to work? Stay home and veg? Let us know.


Sometimes, we all could use a little help out of a jam. Sometimes that jam lasts an entire year or longer. I think about Ariadne a lot when I think of the helpers, and how regularly they are tossed aside by the Theseuses of the world. Perseus, Odysseus, Jason, etc. The stories in Greek myth are strewn with discarded women's bodies. Maybe Circe and Medea had the right idea.
