Ballads of the Hanged: Swinging from the Gallows Tree

A mixtape of execution ballads and assorted tales of guilt, wrath, terror, and defiance on the gallows, where all men are brothers.

[on spotify]

21 tracks, 1h 15min in full (spotify lacks one song)

I teased this many moons ago, and I finally finished it. No booklet in PDF form (too much hassle), but I got extensive liner notes, which you can also read here, for more pictures and a wider format. Enjoy!

LINER NOTES

1. Hans Zimmer - Hoist The Colours

Heave ho thieves and beggars never shall we die

What a heartbreaking thing to say on the scaffold. But we have to start with theatrics and a drum roll, and our introduction needs no introduction.

2007, from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End OST lyrics: Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio music: Hans Zimmer & Gore Verbinski

2. Shirley Collins - Tyburn Tree (Since Laws Were Made)

Next stop, Tyburn: England's most notorious gallows. In The Beggar's Opera, the highwayman Macheath (later also known as Mack the Knife) observes that if they hanged rich criminals like they hang the poor ones, "'twould thin the land". Shirley Jackson subtly changed this to the better.

Since laws were made for ev'ry degree to curb vice in others as well as me, I wonder there's no better company on Tyburn Tree.

But since gold from laws can take out the sting, and if rich men like us were to swing, it would rid the land their numbers to see upon Tyburn Tree.

recorded 1966, released 2002 in Within Sound lyrics: John Gay, from The Beggar's Opera, 1728 music: traditional ("Greensleeves"), 16th century

3. Joan Baez - Long Black Veil

A country ballad about a man falsely accused of murder, who lets himself get dragged to the gallows because he won't reveal his alibi: an affair with his best friend's wife. It's been covered by a million people, here's Baez live.

The scaffold is high, eternity near, She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear, But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan, In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones.

1963, from In Concert Part 2 lyrics & music: Lefty Frizzell, 1959

4. Oscar Isaac with Punch Brothers & Secret Sisters - Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

A poor boy who got "so damn hungry he could hide behind a straw", made his last stand with a rifle and a dagger, and has been all around this world, and is positively done with it.

They put the rope around my neck, they hung me up so high Last words I heard 'em say, won't be long now 'fore you die Hand me, oh hang me, and I'll be dead and gone Wouldn't mind the hanging, but the laying in the grave so long

2015, from Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis", after Oscar Isaac's rendition in Inside Llewyn Davis, 2013, in turn after Dave Van Ronk's rendition in Folksinger, 1962 lyrics & music: traditional American/unclear origin, folk song with various titles (I've Been All Around This World, The Gambler, My Father Was a Gambler, The New Railroad), first recorded by Justis Begley, 1937

5. Chapel Hill - Seven Curses

Cover of a Bob Dylan song, telling us the dark tale of a judge who's about to send a man to the gallows for stealing a horse, promises his daughter he'll show clemency if she agrees to sleep with him, and then reneges on his promise.

The next morning she had awoken to know that the judge had never spoken she saw that hanging branch a-bending she saw her father's body broken These be seven curses for a judge so cruel

2013, from One For The Birds lyrics inspired by Judy Collins's "Anathea" (1963), in turn inspired by the traditional Hungarian ballad "Feher Anna", who curses the judge "thirteen years may be lie bleeding" lyrics & music: Bob Dylan, recorded 1963, released 1991 in The Bootleg Series

6. Ewan MacColl - Go Down Ye Murderers

A song about Timothy Evans, a man accused of murdering his wife and child, which he denied until his last breath. They convicted him and hanged him in 1950. He was 25 years old. Three years later the real murderer, his neighbour John Christie, confessed, and the case played a major role in abolishing capital punishment in the UK.

The rope was fixed around his neck, and the washer behind his ear And the prison bell was tolling but Tim Evans did not hear Sayin' go down, you murderer, go down

They sent Tim Evans to the drop for a crime he didn't do It was Christy was the murderer, and the judge and jury too Sayin' go down, you murderers, go down

1956, from Bad Lads and Hard Cases: British Ballads Of Crime And Criminals lyrics & music: Ewan MacColl

7. Jennifer Lawrence - The Hanging Tree

One of the stranger things that can happen at the hanging tree is camaraderie. "On the gallows tree, all men are brothers", to quote A Feast for Crows, and when the state murders, then in defiance, an execution ballad can become a protest song. Many have in real life, this one is fiction, from The Hunger Games. Wisely, the director asked the composer for a simple tune, nothing elaborate, something that could be "sung by one person or by a thousand people".

Are you, are you coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me Strange things have happened here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

2014, from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 OST lyrics: Suzanne Collins music: James Newton Howard

8. Let's Play Dead - Heaven and Hell

A fairly traditional execution ballad written recently for the series Harlots. Margaret Wells sings it to herself for consolation and courage, as she sits alone in a cell, waiting to get dragged to the gallows.

I'm no more a sinner than any man here I'm no less a saint than the priest at god's ear But now I am snared, they will punish me well With a ladder to heaven and a rope down to hell

2018, from the single Heaven and Hell, for Harlots Season 2 Episode 7 lyrics & music: Let's Play Dead

9. Odetta - Gallows Pole

Probably the most well-known execution ballad of the 20th century, thanks to several iconic renditions. This one remains my favourite.

Hangman, hangman, slack your rope, slack it for a while I think I see my father coming, riding many a mile Papa did you bring me silver, did you bring me gold? Or did you come to see me hanging by the gallows pole?

1960, from At Carnegie Hall lyrics & music: traditional (Child 95 / Roud 144), known under many other titles ("Hangman", "The Maid freed From the Gallows", "The Prickle-Holly Bush"); this version is directly influenced by Lead Belly's "Gallis Pole" (1930s), and they both informed Led Zeppelin's 1970 version

10. Johnny Cash - 25 Minutes to Go

Peak gallows humour, uproariously funny and defiant, and somehow still conveying the terror of a man who's about to die and emphatically doesn't want to. Performed live at Folsom Prison.

Then the sheriff said boy I'm gonna watch you die, 19 minutes to go So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye, 18 minutes to go Now here comes the preacher for to save my soul, 13 minutes to go And he's talking about burning but I'm so cold, 12 minutes to go

1968, from At Folsom Prison lyrics & music: Shel Silverstein, from his 1962 album Inside Folk Songs

11. Johnny Cash - Sam Hall

A classic execution ballad with many versions (see here for its complicated history), some of which are stoic and dignified, and others humorous. But this one brims with rage. Sam Hall will not be repenting on the gallows, and he'll see you all in hell.

My name it is Sam Hall and I hate you one and all And I hate you one and all, damn your eyes

2002, from American IV: The Man Comes Around lyrics & music: : traditional, 18th century broadside ballad, Roud 369

12. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Up Jumped the Devil

A song about a man doomed from the start to play the villain’s part, and the origin of this blog’s #swinging from the gallows tree tag.

Who's that hanging from the gallow tree? His eyes are hollow but he looks like me Who's that swinging from the gallow tree? Up jumped the Devil and he took my soul from me

1999, from Tender Prey lyrics: Nick Cave music: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

13. NOT ON SPOTIFY: Dead Rat Orchestra - The Black Procession

This ballad imagines a sinister procession of 20 criminals (black tradesmen brought up in hell!), each with their own specialty (it's mostly thieves of some sort), on the way to the gallows. The last and worst of them is the thief-catcher, and if one of them is innocent, they'll all go free. But of course none of them are. It's written in thieves' cant (lyrics and more context here), and the chorus means: "Look well, listen well, see where they are dragged, up to the gallows where they are hanged."

Toure you well; hark you well, see where they are rubb’d, Up to the nubbing cheat where they are nubb’d.

2015, from Tyburnia: A Radical History Of 600 Years Of Public Execution lyrics: from The Triumph of Wit by J. Shirley, 1688 music: Robin Alderton, Daniel Merrill & Nathaniel Robin Mann

14. John Harle & Marc Almond - The Tyburn Tree

And where does the Black Procession lead? To Tyburn, of course. The dark gothic side of Marc Almond.

The Tyburn Tree, I weep for thee, blood in the roots 'Tis not a tree with bark and leaves of spring awakening 'Tis not a tree with blossom and fruit, 'tis not a tree No boughs to bend beneath the unruly breath of winter No memories of woods warmed by spring's sweet touch 'Tis not a tree — take a ride to Tyburn and dance the last jig

2014, from The Tyburn Tree (Dark London) lyrics: Marc Almond music: John Harle

15. CocoRosie - Gallows

Speaking of dark and gothic.

They took him to the gallows, he fought them all the way though And when they asked us how we knew his name We died just before him, our eyes are in the flowers Our hands are in the branches, our voices in the breezes And our screaming is in his screaming

2010, from Grey Oceans lyrics & music: Sierra Rose Casady & Bianca Leilani Casady

16. The Tiger Lillies - Hang Tomorrow

In their Two Penny Opera, the pioneers of dark cabaret reimagine Brecht’s Threepenny Opera, and take all the suaveness out of Mack the Knife. Here they also take all the fight out of him. What's even left? A pathetic empty husk, a bastard (let's not forget that Brecht's MacHeath is no rogue with a heart of gold, he's a horrible man) who can't even be intriguing. How disturbingly pedestrian.

So here I am in jail again, oh god it stinks of piss I've been in here since I was young, so I can reminisce It's looking rather grim this time, it's looking rather bad But if I swing tomorrow in some ways I'll be glad

2001, from Two Penny Opera lyrics & music: Martyn Jacques

17. Tom Hollander - Ballad In Which MacHeath Begs All Mens' Forgiveness

In The Threepenny Opera, Mack the Knife stands on the scaffold and asks for pity. No point being judgmental now, that he's about to die. He morbidly describes how his dead body will end up, and then he lashes out at everyone, cops and criminals (same difference), while still begging them all for forgiveness. Very VERY sarcastically. The ballad's concept is borrowed from François Villon (see below), and this translation is unusually bold (honorific, see here and here for other translations and context).

You crooked cops with your Mercedes, your mobile phones, your trendy jackets, your cuts from drugs and dice and ladies, your Scotland Yard protection rackets.

Let heaven smash your fucking faces, slash you and let the blood run free and break you in a thousand places. I've pardoned you. You pardon me.

1994, from The Threepenny Opera - Donmar Warehouse Original Cast lyrics: Bertolt Brecht 1928, loosely inspired by François Villon's "Ballad of the Hanged" c. 1489, translated by Jeremy Sams 1994 music: Kurt Weill 1928

18. Saga de Ragnar Lodbrock - Ballade des pendus

And here's the OG Ballad of the Hanged, written in the 15th century by the OG poète maudit, François Villon (translation here). It paints an indelible picture of strung up corpses swaying in the wind, decaying, pecked by birds, ravaged by the elements and time. And crucially, it's in the first person. The hanged speak, begging their fellow-humans for pity, and god for forgiveness.

Frères humains, qui après nous vivez, N'ayez les cœurs contre nous endurcis, Car, si pitié de nous pauvres avez, Dieu en aura plus tôt de vous mercis. Vous nous voyez ci attachés, cinq, six: Quant à la chair, que trop avons nourrie, Elle est piéça dévorée et pourrie, Et nous, les os, devenons cendre et poudre. De notre mal personne ne s'en rie; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absoudre!

recorded 1979, released 1999 in the Saga de Ragnar Lodbrock reissue lyrics: François Villon, c. 1489 music: Saga de Ragnar Lodbrock

19. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat

Honorary inclusion, a song not about hanging: the mercy seat is the electric chair. But the lyrics are a punch and this is a torrent of a song, a whirlwind, a masterpiece, a 7-minute cynic snarl. So it couldn't possibly get left out of this compilation.

And the mercy seat is awaiting, and I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this measuring of proof An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (a life for a life and a truth for a truth) And anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die (and I'm afraid I told a lie)

1999, from Tender Prey lyrics & music: Nick Cave

20. Graveyard Train - Ballad For Beelzebub

And after? Welcome to Hell, ladies and gents, and bards. (Bards are rogues, too.) The Graveyard Train play a kind of Southern Gothic (but very southern, they're Australian), and here they entertain the thought of a band that ends up in hell and has to keep playing, without end, for an audience that can't hear. What a bleak prospect.

Well the air on the stage is burning our lungs And we're all going deaf from the beating drums And you can't see a thing for all the blood and the sweat in our eyes

Well we played till we died, and now we're all dead But the Man says we got to get up there again And you can't come down till the brimstone turns to ice

2008, from The Serpent And The Crow lyrics & music: Graveyard Train

21. Samuel Kim feat. Colm R. McGuinness - Hoist the Colours

Yo ho, all together Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars

But we won't end in hell. The only acceptable ending to this compilation is the triumphant version (wait for it) of its beginning: a pirate's end. Traditionally the gibbet, yes, but also the ghost ship that still sails, the ripple that still travels, and the story that still gets told.

Did I stutter the first time?

NEVER SHALL WE DIE

[justkeeponsimming]

Mercy, Karma and Justice walk through the rain across the usually gorgeous islands of Sulani. It’s the one day of the year where the sun isn’t shining. Wet sand sticks to their shoes. Puddles pool up as deep as their ankles. The wind whips a cold breeze through the palm trees. Even a tropical storm would be nicer weather than this!

Karma: “Awwww! Dad’s house is so cute! The yellow is like the sunshine we’re missing today!”

Mercy looks up from her phone, double checking the address. A cute, yellow and white paneled house sits atop stilts right on the beach. In nice weather, the house would have a stunning view across the ocean and islands dotted around the bay. Mercy can see why her dad would move here following a rough time in his life. It would be the perfect place to retire!

Mercy: “It’s adorable! I love it! Before we go in…Justy, are you okay? You’re still quiet.”

Justice lifts their foot out of a puddle, wrinkling their nose in disgust. Mercy covers her mouth, trying not to laugh. Karma smiles, also suppressing her giggles.

Justice: “I’m cool. Sorry, still hung up on getting detention yesterday. Let’s check out Dad’s new place.”

Looking over at Karma, Mercy nods a quick signal. The sisters rush over to their sibling, giving them a huge hug. Justice squeals and tries to wriggle away as Karma accidentally tips her umbrella towards them, pouring water down their arm!

The siblings run across the soggy sand towards their dad’s home, seeking shelter!

[boydcrowdr]

Hi justie, as you know I am deeply obsessed with your fic “Keep It Near;” you do a really incredible job of capturing the southern gothic tone, and reading it feels like watching season four of True Detective, haha. I’d love to get the director’s commentary on this excerpt:

“After you,” Raylan says, gesturing with his hat for Boyd to lead the way.

With a wide smile, Boyd pivots on his heel in a perfect military left-face. “For he today that sheds his blood with me,” he starts quoting as he marches towards the door, his movements sloppy enough no drill sergeant would let him get away with it. “Shall be my brother-”

“Would you quiet down,” Raylan begs with a choked laugh. “Save it for the damn community theater.” He follows Boyd out to their cars, biting back a grin of his own.

Any good humor Boyd has managed to coax out of Raylan has melted away by the time they’re passing through Cumberland. The car isn’t so much warmer than outside and Raylan fiddles with the vents. “You’re in a good mood today,” he observes, eyeing Boyd critically as he steers down the winding mountain road.

“What’s not to be joyous about, Raylan?” he asks. “It’s a fresh new God-given day and I got you at my side, do I not?”

Raylan snorts. “It’s pouring rain, humid as shit, we got FBI ‘crawling up our asses’ - your words, not mine - and we’re on our way to look at a dead girl’s abandoned car,” he says, side-eyeing Boyd from the driver’s seat. “Your sunny disposition’s a little misplaced. It’s makin’ you look deranged.”

“Well I’m only attemptin’ to look on the bright side of things, Raylan.”

“I’m so glad you’re able to find the silver lining in this absolute vortex of shit,” he grouses. The wipers flick away the rain as he keeps his eyes firmly on treeline. He can feel the weight of Boyd’s eyes on him and tries his best not to tense up under it. Boyd has the uncanny ability to peer right through him and while it’s a blessing most days, taking Raylan’s near inability to express his feelings into account, it sometimes gets under his skin.

“Well, you and I are still breathing, ain’t we?” he says. “There ain’t no need to be getting lost in that labyrinth you call a head of yours.”

“I ain’t,” he argues, but his heart isn’t in it.

“I know how you are,” is all Boyd says. “I daresay that I know how the inner mechanisms of that mind work.”

“Thought it was a labyrinth,” he mutters.

“Well I got a compass.”

A smile tugs at the edges of his mouth and he rolls his eyes as Boyd comes to a stop on the side of the road, just behind Bob Sweeney’s patrol car.

I am deeply obsessed with this fic that came out of me after watching True Detective S1 & Wind River. One day I might even finish it.

This chapter was sm fun to write. I toyed with a quote for Boyd to start rambling in a cheap attempt to cheer up Raylan. Aptly, I feel, he settles on the St. Crispin’s speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V - “For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother” etc etc. I felt it was a good callback to Boyd’s military past and his love of showman’s ship and literature all in one. The speech is meant to rally the troops, and Raylan needs a little rallying. And Raylan is helpless to not find amusement, however temporary, in Boyd’s antics.

Raylan, being a little closer to the case emotionally, already has the tendency of getting lost in his own head. He makes everything personal, as we know. And in this AU, with Boyd and Raylan both staying in Harlan, Boyd is even more familiar with Raylan’s taciturn nature. Being who he is, Boyd is still a bit of a prick but he’s gonna do his damndest to look after his boy. Call it littermate syndrome or codependency, it’s probably accurate. I wanted to reflect that familiarity they have with each other, the sort that’s earned from spending so much time with that other person in ur orbit. Hence their little discussion in the car and Boyd proudly announcing he’s got a compass so he ain’t gonna be getting lost in Raylan’s head so easily. Rayaln, god help him, finds that a little comforting. It’s much easier for Boyd to find the bright side of shit cus he’s got Rayaln at his side, and that’s all he’s really concerned with, that’s all he really needs to get through the day.

"Told you so..." - Part 13

This is a private ongoing fic just for me and @lostfirefly

Since tumblr doesn't let me post it privately I need to share it publicly, but feel free to scroll through the content, since this is just for our own amusement. ;)

Crocodile's sandstorm launched Helga and Buggy with tremendous force onto the ship, but this time it was a far less graceful landing than with Yujo's water fountain. They were not able to keep hold of each other, and the chaotic winds sent Buggy hurtling over the ship's railing.

"Damn you, Crocodile! You'll pay for this!" Buggy shouted angrily, but before he could regain his footing, he was propelled into the treacherous waters of the calm belt. Desperately, he attempted to grasp onto something, but his fingers slipped, and he found himself submerged in the unforgiving depths.

Helga's instincts kicked in immediately, sensing that something was amiss. "Captain!" she cried out, her mind racing as she sprinted towards the railing. Without a second thought, she leaped into the water, determined to rescue Buggy. She knew that with his devil fruit powers, he was unable to swim, and she was his only lifeline.

Helga plunged into the water, momentarily taken aback by the chilling cold that enveloped her. But she pushed past the shock, focusing on the task at hand: saving her captain.

As Helga swiftly swam towards Buggy, she could see him slowly descending, him being unable to move. With just three powerful strokes, she reached him, wrapping her left arm around his waist and propelling both of them towards the surface. Time was of the essence, since any lurking sea kings might catch wind of their presence. Helga was strong and well trained, so swimming and dragging her captain to the surface was not a difficult task. 

Finally resurfacing, they took a much-needed breath. Buggy gasped for air, his lungs craving the oxygen he had been deprived of. A stroke of luck seemed to favor them as Helga noticed a sturdy ladder hanging from the ship, providing a potential means of getting up on the ship again.

"Quick!" she urged Buggy. They swam towards the ladder, and with all her might, she pushed him upward, struggling against his weight and height. Buggy clung to the ladder with his arms, pulling himself up, and once his legs followed suit, he regained his freedom of movement, liberated from the constraints of the sea.

Helga prepared to join him, but just as she reached for the ladder, a colossal sea king emerged from the depths, its monstrous mouth poised to catch the red-haired girl.

"Dare you!" Buggy hissed, detaching his fist while still gripping the ladder with his other hand, ready to protect his girlfriend. The blow from his detachable fist momentarily stunned the sea creature, buying Helga enough time to clutch onto the ladder and ascend alongside Buggy.

Collapsed on the deck, both of them were left panting heavily, their bodies drained from the arduous ordeal they had just endured. Buggy coughed, his voice filled with gratitude as he whispered, "Thank you, baby. You saved my life." He detached both of his hands and gently wiped the water from Helga's face, a tender gesture that she appreciated, returning his smile. 

"I'm certain that damn Crocodile tried to kill me!" Buggy muttered as he slowly rose to his feet, extending his hands to help Helga up as well.

"I'm sure he had good intentions," his girlfriend replied, though her conviction seemed lacking.

"Anyway, now that we have the ship, let's signal to them so they know they can join us up here!" Buggy exclaimed cheerfully. He darted to the opposite side of the ship, facing the prison to indicate to the other escapees that it was safe to come aboard. However, to his surprise, they were nowhere to be found.

"What? Where are they...?" Buggy wondered aloud.

"Darling, come here!" Helga's urgent voice called out, drawing Buggy's attention. She pointed towards the horizon, and as he followed her finger, he saw what had happened—the Gates of Justice, their sole escape route, began to slowly open. Someone from inside the prison had activated the mechanism, granting Helga and Buggy a chance to flee.

Instantly, a powerful current emanating from behind the gates seized hold of the ship, gradually pulling it towards the exit. "We're getting out of here! Told ya so! With your might Captain Buggy you will always be safe, even when the marines are at hand..!" Buggy exclaimed, his jubilation overriding his comprehension of just how fortunate their circumstances had become.

"We are!" Helga affirmed, placing her hand gently on Buggy's chest and resting her face against his shoulder. "But at what cost...?" she murmured, her voice filled with a bittersweet realization.

Zeus Devotions and Offerings

Clouds (what’s their part in the water cycle? How do you tell the difference between types of clouds?)

Weather (predominantly rain, wind, & thunder and lightning) (What causes these phenomena scientifically?)

The justice system

Eagles, hawks, and other birds

His myths and genealogy (there’s a lot there!)

His Roman counterpart, Jupiter

Political history in your country (or any country of interest)

Climate change and how you can help reduce it

Storms/Rain

Collect rainwater as an offering or for use in spells

(Safely) Watch a storm (I like to do so in my car)

If you can, safely offer shelter to those during storms (travelers, unhoused folks, or even stray cats/dogs!)

Participate in storm clean-ups

Splash in puddles/Dance in the rain

Thank Him for the rain and acknowledge how helpful it is for providing life to all of us

Take proper storm precautions, like buying enough food, having flashlights/candles on hand, and having non-electric ways to keep warm

Keep a rainy day fund

Spend rainy days with your [chosen] family

Meditate/fall asleep to rain sounds

Learn how to respond in the event someone is struck by lightning

Ride a zipline

Fly kites

Learn cloud divination

Order and Justice

Keep up-to-date with local political happenings

Participate in your city/school council

Attend protests and advocate for equality  

Vote in local, state, and nationwide elections

Learn de-escalation methods

Join a debate team

Keep your schedule in order

Maintain a clean and orderly environment

Advocate for a greener future

Visit your state house

Leadership and Protection

Trust yourself to take on leadership roles

Build your self-confidence

Take proper measures to protect your home (locking the door and windows or a protection spell/jar!)

Take self-defense classes/martial arts/wrestling etc.

Make your own self-love affirmations

Homework you put a good effort into and are proud of

Pictures of the sky/clouds

Bird figurines

Crown imagery/figurines

Lastly, it’s undeniable that Zeus has a long history of assaulting and mistreating women. Everyone has their beliefs on the matter and I think it is entirely possible to worship/work with a god while fully acknowledging the messy past. Furthermore, as I dive deeper into the history surrounding the myths I gain a better understanding of the factors surrounding Zeus’s philandering, like the synchronization of Gods and Goddesses across religions and how Zeus likely assimilated past male deities and the people of the time created the stories of his many affairs to explain this merging.

There’s no way to justify the raping by our human standards. That being said, I don’t think it’s cause to completely shut Him out. He is the King of the Gods, the Bringer of Life! Surely that is something to celebrate. 

With all that, some final acts that support women:

Believing victims

Donating/volunteering at women's shelters

Learning the signs of domestic abuse

Learning and acknowledging red flags in a partner

Talking to friends about any major red flags you’re concerned about with their partner

Advocating for women’s rights 

Learning about domestic abuse/rape/abortion services in your area

Hoping this is helpful to someone! I see very few posts for Zeus on here.

With the Supreme Court poised to reverse Roe v Wade, Ginsburg’s decision not to step down during the Obama administration looms large in the estimations of some of her admirers, who see it as enabling the destruction of large parts of Ginsburg’s legacy. The unintended — but not unforeseeable — result was that Donald Trump was able to name Ginsburg’s successor, who may wind up as the fifth vote to overturn the landmark 1973 abortion-rights ruling.

Justinian Khoo envisions networks of floating cities "to provide freedom for nature on land"

The second finalist in Dezeen's Redesign the World competition powered by Twinmotion is Justinian Khoo, who has proposed moving humanity into sustainable floating cities so that nature can reclaim the land.

Called The Whales, the clusters of cities, which Khoo designed to resemble pods of the large marine mammals, would be powered entirely by renewable energy harnessed from the sea, sun and wind.

Fish farming would provide protein-rich food for the inhabitants of the cities, with the waste used to fertilise crops on floating farms.

Vegetation would also be used as a natural filtration system for waste water, while food waste would be composted to minimise landfill.

By moving humanity into the floating cities, Khoo imagines being able to allow nature to rewild the planet's landmasses in order to restore natural ecosystems and reverse climate change.

Read more about the proposal below.

The Whales Justinian Khoo, Melbourne, Australia Finalist

"My proposal is to build a floating city that resembles a whale family, inspired by the ocean's largest gentle giant that travels together as groups.

"An environmentally sustainable floating city where beauty, sustainability and quality work together, saving our planet from climate change and freeing up space on land.

"The floating city is designed for human survival and will provide care for the ocean. At the same time, it provides freedom for nature on the land to restore the environment with animals and insects roaming freely and living their life with important roles in the ecosystem.

Read:

Pawel Rymsza proposes domed cities with algae lakes "to make big reductions in atmospheric carbon"

"The floating city runs on marine energy, where energy can be harnessed from the oceans, together with generating power from the sun with a photovoltaic system and wind turbines in the ocean to store power in the utility-scale energy storage for each floating building.

"The floating city has a sustainable floating farming system for farming fruit trees and vegetables, as well as a system for farming fish that requires no additional feeding as they tend to draw their nutrients directly from the ocean currents.

"The nitrates and nitrites from the fish manure get broken down by bacteria to make the food for the plants. The plants in return, use their roots to filter out all solid waste from the fish waste to generate clean water.

"Vermicomposting can be used for processing waste food from the city, feeding it into a wormery to produce fertilizer for growing crops continuously, to prevent food from going into the landfill and converting it into something useful instead.

"The flourishing of ecosystems requires us to work together with nature, animals and insects, environmentalists, designers and scientists, just like the whales that protect each other and nurture their young together."

Redesign the World

Redesign the World is the ultimate design competition, which called for new ideas to rethink planet Earth to ensure that it remains habitable long into the future.

Launched in partnership with Epic Games, the contest asked entrants to visualise their concepts using architectural visualisation software Twinmotion.

The contest received over 100 entries from more than 30 different countries around the world.

These were assessed by a judging panel comprising White Arkitekter CEO Alexandra Hagen, structural engineer Hanif Kara, speculative architect Liam Young, Twinmotion product marketing manager Belinda Ercan and Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, which selected 15 proposals as finalists to be published on Dezeen.

We are unveiling one finalist a day throughout our Dezeen 15 festival, culminating in the winner being announced on 19 November.

The winner will receive the top prize of £5,000. There are also prizes of £2,500 for second place, £1,000 for third place and £500 each for the remaining finalists.
