a day for women to celebrate their friendships with their lady friends. It's Valentine's Day with your gals.
大英博物館
祝所有被歷史學家稱為「非常親密的朋友和室友」的女性 #Galentines 快樂 ♥
1778年，莎拉·龐森比（Sarah Ponsonby）和埃莉諾·巴特勒（Eleanor Butler）穿上男裝登上船，逃離了愛爾蘭的優越生活。他們在威爾斯的蘭格倫生活了 50 年，同住一個家、同床共枕。
1829 年埃莉諾去世後，薩拉也很快去世，她們共同的墓碑標誌著她們永恆的紐帶——儘管埃莉諾的訃告將她描述為薩拉的“朋友和夥伴”，抹去了她們關係中的浪漫元素。
這兩個巧克力杯屬於莎拉和埃莉諾。它們的一面裝飾著他們的家族徽章，另一面則裝飾著他們的家族 Plas Newydd 的圖案。碟子上刻有兩人姓名首字母交織在一起的花押字。
莎拉和埃莉諾冒著一切風險在一起——她們精緻美麗的家和愛情故事使她們成為同性戀歡樂的永恆象徵🌈💕
Happy
#Galentines to all the women who historians called ‘very close friends and roommates’
In 1778, Sarah Ponsonby and Eleanor Butler dressed in men's clothing and boarded a ship, fleeing their privileged lives in Ireland. They built a life in Llangollen, Wales, where they shared a home – and a bed – for 50 years.
When Eleanor died in 1829, Sarah soon followed, with their shared gravestone marking their enduring bond – though Eleanor’s obituary described her as Sarah’s
‘friend and companion’, erasing the romantic element of their relationship.
These two chocolate cups belonged to Sarah and Eleanor. They're decorated on one side with their family crests, and on the other with a depiction of their house, Plas Newydd. The saucer features a monogram of their intertwined initials.
Sarah and Eleanor risked everything to be together – and their elaborate and beautiful home and love story has made them an enduring symbol of queer joy
