"Donne loved the trans- prefix: it's scattered everywhere across his writing—'transpose', 'translate', 'transport', 'transubstantiate'. In this Latin preposition—'across, to the other side of, over, beyond'—he saw both the chaos and potential of us. We are, he believed, creatures born transformable. He knew of transformation into misery: 'But O, self-traitor, I do bring/The spider love, which transubstantiates all/And can convert manna to gall'— but also the transformation achieved by beautiful women: 'Us she informed, but transubstantiates you'. And then there was the transformation of himself: from failure and penury, to recognition within his lifetime as one of the finest minds of his age; one whose work, if allowed under your skin, can offer joy so violent it kicks the metal out of your knees, and sorrow large enough to eat you. Because amid all Donne's reinventions, there was a constant running through his life and work: he remained steadfast in his belief that we, humans, are at once a catastrophe and a miracle."

— Katherine Rundell, Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [Medium: Success] — There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds: Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

APRÈS LA VIE - MORT; APRÈS LA MORT - LA VIE DE NOUVEAU; APRÈS LE MONDE - LE GRIS; APRÈS LE GRIS - LE MONDE DE NOUVEAU.

#fuckkkk this game is gorgeous #i wish i could play it for the first time again #disco elysium #gifs

i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.

#read that over 50% of people blamed the students after the kent state massacre #and like only 11% or something like that blamed the police/national guard #people have never been on the sides of the students when these protests have happened/immediately after #when it becomes history that's when people start going 'well they were always right' #support protestors. free palestine. #txt #politics

better is subjective u can vote based on usefulness or sexiness or w/e the fuck . idc

#cleric is more useful but paladin is sexier 😔 i voted paladin #fr tho cleric healing + can use spirit guardians. truly what more could you want. #but paladin sexy sword but has some loyalties to a deity and that sort of devotion Is hot. had to say it. #ily paladins i hope i get to play u someday #txt #polls #abt #edit: ik clerics are also devoted to a deity but the vibes are Different when they have a sword. you understand. #it's abt the mixing of violence and godly power. fr.

just got confirmation they really are in there YIPPEEE

but. now i have to decide if i'm going to read one of them aloud at the reception. and if so. which one.

forever and ever ago I submitted poems to my university's journal and they got accepted but there was some complications with sending the poems back after editing (my email sending them back was never responded to) and now im worried they're not even going to be in the journal :/

#damien.txt #guys i'll be honest the thought of reading poetry aloud makes my brain activate the 2014 'cringe' reaction #i should definitely do it bc i need to do things for the Experience but also wow anxiety inducing #i have literally no idea how many ppl will be there tbh #also like. my options for what to read aloud are. interesting to say the least lol #1) a poem about being trans that is. HEAVY HANDED. i am visibly masc and the poem talks abt wearing dresses & the heavy-handed experience #of realizing you are trans for the first time and how that fucks up ur childhood or whatever. this one is objectively the best written one #but also am i comfortable talking that explicitly about being trans on stage? things to consider #2) a poem about memory problems that has a Long Extended Metaphor that is intentionally vague. it is probably the edgiest and the most #'oh wow you write Poetry huh' poem of the bunch. talks abt blood & radio static & the ocean. all those fun things. #3) a poem about being gay. except within the conceit of donatello's david? like the statue. and not the one you're thinking of. #the less popular david. which has. queer undertones. which i then adapted for this poem. it is very queer and i hold it dear to my heart. #it is so very explicitly about queer desire. and it is very pretentious with its allusions #and not going to lie. it is the most tempting to read. bc i am very queer. and pretentious #but also it may or may not be the worst written one. at least compared to the others. idk. #but they were all chosen for the journal so!! none of them are That bad. right? probably? #screams. i have to make this decision by friday 0-0

One scene in the film sees Emma suffer a sudden nosebleed in an emotional moment, and Taylor-Joy somehow managed to start bleeding from her nostril right on cue.

The original plan had been to cut the scene and add the fake blood under Taylor-Joy’s nose, but as she told The Guardian there was no intervention necessary.

“I didn’t know I had that talent until that scene,” said Taylor-Joy. “As soon as my nose started bleeding, [director] Autumn de Wilde and Johnny [Flynn, who played Mr Knightley] both got as excited as me. The crew were going, ‘Cut, cut!’ because they were concerned about me but us three were like: ‘What are you talking about? Keep rolling! This is unbelievable! We have to capture it on film.’”

#god i hope this is real #i dont really care to fact check this bc i think it is harmless and joyful #that's so funny. true acting fr. #emma (2020) #gifs

can we just have, like, any feminist movement whatsoever. did everyone just stop caring?

#truly baffles me when people are like 'no one needs to be a feminist anymore women already won their rights' like?????? #first of all. not everything is about rights. i mean certainly a lot of it is about that but there's a lot of other parts too. #not every part of society and way people treat each other is codified into law #secondly. most of what people call 'won their rights' happened in the last 100 years. at least speaking from an american perspective. #and do you know how fragile that is?? how minuscule that is compared to the expanse of time? #no wonder it's backsliding when ppl gave up on actively fighting for it. it's brand fucking new. easily reversed. #societal changes like that take far FAR longer to codify. continuous progress HAS to be made. #thirdly. the 'rights' that feminism 'won' are not universal! and there are many many women around the world still without access to them. #and yet people truly truly think we like. did it. that it happened. baffling to me. #hopefully we are just in one of those downward periods of history where conservatism spikes but eventually we hit progress again #but also. that means people actually have to attempt to make progress! #anyways. sorry for all the tags. i have thoughts. more than are in these tags. and these aren't articulated the best lol #but yeah. fr op. what the fuck is up with that. #txt #politics
