#ScribesAndMakers 4. Describe a statue you have seen that struck your fancy.
Benvenuto Cellini's bronze statue of Perseus holding Medusa's head (1545, Florence) hits hard. Not because I think of Perseus as a hero but because my heart aches for Medusa.There's more than one story, and many see her as an innocent mortal (yes, also a Gorgon), who was raped by Poseidon, cursed by Athena, hunted down, and murdered.Just look at the emotion in Gian Lorenzo Bernini's extraordinary "Medusa" (1630, Rome).
Seems like a good time to remind people to please use alt text on images so that people who rely on screen readers can "see" what you posted.
I wrote the alt text on this image to show how much — or how little — detail is needed. The first sentence is a simple description. The second sentence adds visual detail. The third sentence conveys its effect on the viewer.
You decide how much to write. Short or long, alt text is a kindness and makes your posts accessible to everyone!
Y'all have seen my kitty Vincent. Well, this is Sky, my first Siamese, in a hand-made felted bed. (Okay, not the best felted bed. More of a basket than a bed, and a little small for this big boy, but still warm and comfy.)
Sky was extremely social, absolutely fearless, loved meeting new people or going new places, and laid claim to everyone, everywhere. He was smart and funny, and talked ALL the time. Omg, what a talker.
Vinnie being a big tease. Trust me, he does not want a belly rub.
This is Vincent. He's either bored with the paparazzi (me) or plotting something. Probably both.
I mention answering to the cat in my profile bio. Well, this is the cat. Vincent, aka Vinnie, Vin-Vin, DAMMIT VINNIE!, Shwee-Shwee Kitty-Kitty, and GET DOWN FROM THERE!
He looks so innocent, doesn't he?
