I'm on holiday in Florence and it's doing worrying things to the lapsed part of my lapsed Catholicism. Anyway here's a painting from the Basilica San Lorenzo and a poem I love by Jay Hulme

#religion cw #lol #personal post #text #I hate how much baggage comes with the church #and that's part of the point. you get 2000 years of history and heritage and 2000 years of awful deeds and one cannot be without the other #and I don't know if I can really believe any more. I'm not sure I'm capable of it #but I still feel the ghost of faith in the right places #anyway.#I thought this painting was beautiful #it's by Pietro Annigoni #and jay hulme is a terrific queer Christian poet I've liked for a while

To respond to Sympathy is a Knife - a song very clearly about Charli's deep insecurities bordering on suicidal ideation, that are triggered by a woman she sees as totally out of her league - with a bitchy mean girl "lol you're so obsessed with me" song is, uh, a choice

#look I don't stan charli or whatever but C'mon #it's a BAD LOOK #and a really cringe song #personal post #text

I'm sorry why is this Sufjan Stevens' Tumblr bio right now HELLO

#he's so fucking funny #hope he's doing ok #personal post #text

I need trans acceptance in sports because 97% of local amateur running races don't have a non-binary entry option and so I have to grapple with a gender headache every time I want to run a fucking 5k fun run

#I mostly just sign up as male given the hormones #but I don't pass particularly in sports gear and I always worry the gender will be like #on my bib or something #or there'll be a fuss picking it up #agh #I just want to run through the woods with a bunch of passionate weirdos #it does genuinely bum me out!#personal post #text

Over the past few months I've had a deep urge to create, a feeling of lack I want to fill with art, but I've had one of the worst art blocks I've ever experienced to the point of feeling like I'm on the cusp of giving up my non-commercial art. And I don't know what to do about it. I suspect because the answer isn't easy, there's no simple step to inspiration, I need to be able to dedicate time and energy to it and I'm not willing to do that I guess

The other forms of creativity I've been interested in (fiction, poetry) feel too daunting, too embarrassing to try as a beginner

developed a real fondness lately for characters who experience a horrific act of violence and come out the other side saying "ah. I don't think I get to be me anymore. they took out the part that was me, killed it, and put something else back in its place, and now I'm whoever the hell that is." love it when someone becomes a corpse and replaces themself <3

#this is one of my favourite character archetypes!!!#Rafa BL4 #borderlands posting #text #(also loosely adjacent to #jae laidir #dnd posting #)

Rafa BL4 is teaching me important Spanish phrases

#borderlands posting #text

I need to get back into learning Spanish so I can understand what Rafa is actually saying half the time

#WHAT DID HE SAY TO THAT ONE GUY AS HIS LIFE COACH #fr tho the writers do a really good job imho making his dialogue still totally intelligible to a non-Spanish speaker #I'd be interested in how a native Spanish speaker reads him though #I suspect from what I understand that he's repeating himself a lot #borderlands posting #text

God Rafa BL4 is genuinely becoming one of The characters for me. I'm so obsessed with him. He thinks he's the hottest man alive, he's insecure, he's a bitch, he's a hero, he's a flirt, he's bisexual, he's quick to anger and quick to cool off, he'll tell you exactly what he thinks but doesn't care if you understand, he's impulsive, he's trigger happy, he's a friend to anyone but won't let anyone close- he's a guy I want to shake around to see what he does and my favourite vault hunter so far??

#ok that might be an exaggeration #zer0 will always hold a place deep in my heart #but I just think he's neat #borderlands posting #text

I just think Zane BL3 and Rafa BL4 should kiss

[BL4 spoilers] I posted this before I knew Zane was physically in the game and not just a vending machine and hearing rafa immediately flirt with him I feel VINDICATION

#Zane is SO hot in BL4 it's insane. love him #Zane fumbled a 10/10 smokeshow baddie and there's a tboy twink rebound ready for him #borderlands posting #text

#I'm playing BL4 . video games are back babey #rafa bisexual tboy energy undeniable #text #borderlands posting

I think my dream "money isn't an issue" business would be running my own commercial gallery.... I worked at a gallery for a few summers as a teen and I loved it (even if the day to day can be pretty boring)

There aren't any galleries in my city (genuinely none. There's like no arts funding here) but there's a tonne of great local artists, I'd love to have a space for them to show and sell their art

Curating art by artists I think are incredible but undervalued, helping artists earn a living and get their work out there, providing access to modern art for kids and students???? IT WOULD BE GOOD

Sucks that financially galleries are really, really tough to run lmao

#idk. it's the sort of thing I might do if everything goes right in my life and I retire very comfortably #personal post #text

I've been following Ultrarunning for nearly a decade now and in that time it's massively professionalised (with sponsorships, prize money, prestigious events etc it's now possible to be a full-time athlete) which is GOOD people should be able to make money doing what they love and are good at

But it DOES mean the sport has now been taken over by jocks when it used to be mostly type A nerds with hobbies

Like,

Winners interview this year: my coach had me on a new training plan that worked great, my VO2 max was at peak 10 days ago and I've got my hydration plan down, I've been running professionally since I ran track in high school

Winners interview 10 years ago: yeah my training was done between the hours of 3am and 5am before my full day of work doing programming for a logistics company and also caring for my 10 month old baby and then I sleep for 2 hours

I've also dropped off of it a little bit because of The Transgender Issue

I'm just so scared of getting invested in an athlete only to find that think people like me should be barred from normal life : )

#I haven't SEEN any transphobia. but I haven't been looking for it #ultras are at least under the radar enough that they don't hit the mainstream rightwing press at least. yet.#personal post #text
