Dante’s Paradiso

The amount of times Dante uses a unique and beautiful metaphor to describe witnessing the un-describable beautiful essence of God is staggering. He does it like 3 times every canto and every time his eloquence is so striking. (using the John Ciardi translation)

Spicy 1st century bc poetry

My flatmate said, “he turned a ring into a penis” and I knew I needed to find this book. Amores by Ovid is fascinating yet hilarious, particularly Elegy XV which is a love letter to a mistress… “To touch her hand thou wilt the pleasure have; I now must envy what myself I gave. O! would a Proteus or a Circe change Me to thy form, that I like thee might range ! Then would I wish thee with her breasts to play, And her left hand beneath her robes to stray. Tho' straight she thought me, I will then appear”

my school production

I scratched my right upper arm down the side of the wing extension of the stage (basically painted panels) and I still had to act dead (final battle in Les mis, I was a student among other things) so I lay there with my arm potentially bleeding and then I finished the last 20 minutes of the show. I checked my arm and by golly there was a large skin ripped scar down my arm (slight bleeding) which I had to deal with for the next 3 shows (yes ik torture, well so was my shower that night). Now I have a nice little scratch down the side of my arm (which looks pretty badass tbh) which will hopefully leave a permanent scar (weird request ik but I loved and breathed that show for months and now it’s been a few days since closing night and now I miss it) Anyway that’s the story of one of my many many scars and my most recent Have a lovely day <3

Born again (raye is an insane lyricist)

Yea it’s new, yeah it’s not that niche But it’s a phenomenally written song, and a gorgeously produced song (like you can’t tell me that funky bass isn’t unexpectedly perfect) and all 3 of them (Lisa, Raye, Doja) absolutely fucking killed it. Listen to Born Again (and watch the mv it’s so cool) (this right here a small shoutout to alter ego by lisa, great album I need it on vinyl asap)
