LGBTQIA+ As we resist those who claim diversity distorts scholarship, let’s run through the acronym & show how easy it is to find the rainbow in every era. We don’t even need to look beyond the Renaissance celebrities that are household names ! 1/? (Countdown to Inventing the Renaissance)

Rainbow filter over a three-part collage made from portraits of Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and the Raphael portrait of Duchess Elizabetta Gonzaga

In case you need it like I do.

Poem by Caitlin Seida.
17. Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat
Hope is not the thing with feathers That comes home to roost
When you need it most.
Hope is an ugly thing With teeth and claws and
Patchy fur that's seen some shit.
It's what thrives in the discards
And survives in the ugliest parts of our world, Able to find a way to go on When nothing else can even find a way in.
It's the gritty, nasty little carrier of such diseases as Optimism, persistence, Perseverance and joy,
Transmissible as it drags its tail across your path and
Bites you in the ass.
Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird, Emily.
It's a lowly little sewer rat
That snorts pesticides like they were
Lines of coke and still
Shows up on time to work the next day
Looking no worse for wear.

I hope this finds you.

For You Who Are About to Give Up

Think of what you'll miss:
the voices of children;
apples, dark wine on a table;
the smell of the spring before you're ready.
Stay.
It doesn't get better, it gets truer.
Winter. Albums. Madness.
Your grief in you like a cello
in its locked, black case.
The lemon-scent of someone who has gone.

Breathe. Just breathe
and be here.
In my darkest night,
in the storm before morning,
I heard a voice
that told me it was listening.
Friend, I would sit with you
and listen.
As long as you have breath
you could be song.
As long as you have breath you could be song.

—Joseph Fasano
