😃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.

📚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”

😃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

😃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)

😃Just watched it, tears, laughs, big fat ugly grins. Even with a cold this woman kills me. I love her and I want to be like her someday (hopefully with a voice like tha), she is genuinely my hero. <3
Have a great day my loves ♥️
