Life in a cobweb of Cairo’s alleys and corners: from the City of the Dead, the legendary expanse of cemeteries, where ghosts roam the streets at night.
People live here in Mameluk tombs, drying their laundry on graves, going about their everyday lives among the dead. To Boulac, the ancient port of Cairo, the artists’ low-rent neighborhood that wakes up after the sun goes down, its street cafes full of old wizards. To the wild and visceral Batn El-Bakara (The Belly of the Cow), a destitute dump populated by ceramic craftsmen.
Like the structure of houses, they change from region to region and “Windows of the World” was born, a big evolution from the earliest windows that were only a hole in the wall.”
In solidarity, I made some Pride crystals. I tried to cover some of the major ones I’ve seen. You’re totally welcome to save the ones I made to your computer for your own personal use, or if you’d like to make your own with your preferred colors and your flag you can download the file from my Gumroad. Just enter a “0″ and you can download it for free and personalize it as much as you like- and feel free to reblog this with your own image + added modifications to anyone else who may want to use them: https://gumroad.com/l/XIuXf
I’m proud to be Bisexual, though it’s only been a handful of years since I came into acceptance of that, and even more recent since I’ve become more open about it. Know that through all the hardship and hopelessness, you matter. You are not broken, you are valued, and you are wonderful.
I reblogged a post of helpful links and sources if you want to help or need support just below this one, and you can always send me an ask if you need. Keep fighting the good fight ❤
EDIT:: Someone informed me that the Intersex flag I made before is not the accepted flag, so I read up and made a new one ❤ I apologize for not doing extensive research and realizing this mistake sooner, I hope the new one is an improvement. I was going to take the first one I made down, but I also read that there are some members of the Intersex community who feel most comfortable using it. So for now, unless requested otherwise, I’ll leave it up.
