Reblog If You Think It’s Okay To Platonically Say “I Love You” To Your Friends

My favorite version so far.Beautiful music,obviosly, but also beautifully acted and staged.The “messenger”part actually made me cry in class ,something I haven’t done since I was 14.

Monteverdi’s l'Orfeo, conducted by Jordi Savall, performed by Le Concert des Nations, La Capella Reial de Catalunya, and soloists.

I am so fond of this version, from the elegant set to the instrumentalists (crisp and full of vigour) to the warm and frankly imperfect singing. But what really makes it is Mr Savall’s entrance. The drums and brass start playing, and there he goes, striding down to the pit in his billowing robes. Jordi, you magnificent bastard!

Help me get the speciality glasses I need for my disability

Hi friends here I am doing the thing I hate

I’m a disabled queer enby with Scotopic Sensitivity Disorder, which means that I need speciality lenses.

Unfortunately they’re expensive. They cost £150/$208 just for the tint. I’ve been putting up with my current pair being scratched and the wrong prescription for a while now

But now they’ve broken. The arm snapped off and they are being wonkily glued together.

I lost my job at the start of the pandemic, and my family and I are barely scraping by. It’s impossible for me to afford a new pair of glasses without help.

So if you are able, I would appreciate a donation so much. 

Please reblog this post even if you can’t help. Thank you so much x

I’ve been so lost and desperate for help since my dad passed from covid. I want to be able to give him a proper burial because he gave so much to me and my sister. If anyone is willing to donate or share, that would mean the world to us. I just don’t know what else to do. Thank you.

Princess Latifa Is Missing!

Princess Latifa of Duba (in the UAE) has recently gone missing, but not before posting a chilling video of herself, stating that “if you are watching this video, then I’m either dead, or in a really really bad situation.” 

Latifa is a member of the Dubai royal family, and recently decided to defect from the authoritarian regime, in which she had previously lived as a prisoner under her own father. 

She recently tried to escape on a yacht. However the yacht was apprehended by Emirates forces and Princess Latifa was taken. She has since been missing. Her fate is unclear. 

Human rights groups are counting on applying pressure on the UAE government to clarify her current location. The Dubai government has responded by accusing those who have reported her missing as criminals. The validity of this statement is highly questioned.

Princess Latifa is likely in grave, life threatening danger. Every reblog can contribute to the mounting pressure on the UAE government to reveal her location. Please reblog, we might save someone’s life.
