It is fun to try, and the trippy versions of reality you come out with are pretty psychoanalytic if you know what to look for. Fetish Figure Drawing at Our Wicked Lady is a must, though let's be honest it's much kinkier to parlay your newfound confidence into privately drawing your lover.

I think theres something really great about not only seeing the same people every few weeks, getting to know the organiser (and her dachshund), and participating in ongoing community, but also life drawing in general. It’s stretching a muscle in your eye to brain to hand coordination, its looking for looking. Seeing people who look so many different ways and feel comfortable enough to strip off in front of a group of strangers and have those strangers look so intensely at them for close to two hour. Also getting a glass of cheap wine there doesn’t hurt.

I recently went to a workshop by an collective called simka. we took a 45 minute walk in complete silence and then had to draw or write about our walking experience. people drew some really cool stuff and wrote beautifully. since then, whenever I take a walk I make a note in my notes app of how I felt or what I thought about during the walk. or I draw. the other day I drew a tree I saw while walking. during the workshop I wrote about primordial forms and drew the patterns I saw in the ground. I already love drawing, so doing this really makes my day.

My friend and I happened upon this. Meaning, strive to live your life in a way that makes you feel hot. Dress to feel hot. Talk to feel hot. Do whatever you do, but in a way that makes you feel like you're worthy of the love and adoration and crushes and desire you deserve. This does not mean "sexy" necessarily--hotness is always shifting and has many forms. But reach deep inside and you'll find that your own personal method and mode of hotness can always, and most of the time is, an excellent guide.

Kind of a genre of medieval paintings, but confirms to me how horny people have always been and how we've always had to sublimate our desires into the dominant culture. It's so weirdly explicit and bizarre, and has so many layers in how it would have been used: a painting to look at, a page in a prayer book to speak as a script, a physical object to touch and venerate and meditate with.... like imagine people fingering this "wound" and being like, yes this is honestly totally about jesus. Crazy.
