That on my mind?

Sometimes I'm scared of them

There are words not sayable*

Good morning

I love you

I've already spread you on my bread

*'on my mind there are words' - he's actually using a polish phrase that literally translates to [sth] is walking in my head

Dzień dobry kocham cię (good morning i love you) by Strachy na lachy

Most experiences are unsayable; they become real to us in a space no word has entered.

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

[youtube with closed captions]

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

okay but can we do a 10 things I hate about you trc au wheee Ronan wants desperately to date Adam but Adam and Gansey have a no dating unless the other does deal going on as a result of some other hijinks so ronan needs to find a strange person to date gansey who is fundamentally deeply strange too and uninterested in most people romantically - Ronan arrives on school resident weirdo Blue Sargent

#I know Kat wld hate gansey but imagine #drunk gansey on the swings while blue holds his hair back #gansey isn’t very combative he’s just unsayable die to other stuff

[stewykablooey]

can’t stop thinking about the sibs saying i love you on repeat because they cant say what they actually mean and how the only one who didn’t say i love you was roman because he would’ve actually meant it

#i dont think kendall and shiv Didn’t mean it #but i think there was so much that was unsayable for them because then it would’ve been too real #so they kept reverting back to ‘i love you’ #but ‘i love you’ was unsayable for roman because it was too close to his heart #succession #succession spoilers #roy sibs #roy siblings #m

The hyper-atomisation of our age has nurtured a view of people as poisonous, of ideas as dangerous, and of speech as a virus. Lockdown was the political victory of this modern species of anti-humanism, and a despairing defeat for the belief held by many of us that strong individualism and a strong sense of social solidarity are always preferable, especially in times of crisis, to fear and social retreat. Lockdown

there's something so... indescribable about being in my final semester of college, desperately wanting it to be over, but also being terrified of the end. Graduation. Reality of true adulthood. Moving out. (Possibly not moving out for a while, and having to live with the fact that my parents and I will never see fully eye-to-eye again.) Taxes. Job searching. Finding out if I can actually do this as a career or if I'll burn out within a year. Coming out to more people. Coming out to myself more than once, I imagine, and not just in terms of gender and sexuality. Unraveling and inspecting who I am in the real mire of adult human existence as a queer adult in the US. Living through a new era of potential and already-here fascism, Christian supremacy, and media polarization.

#indescribable... no #horrific maybe #or daunting or riveting or thrilling or bone-chilling or exhilarating or giddy or mortifying or deadening or unimaginable or scarring #or any number of unsayable unfathomable words #adulthood #ugh #vent? not really

Così finisce, come tutti sanno, il più gran libro scritto da un cristiano. Sanno i cristiani che alla fine dei tempi, nella loro identità intera, ripeteranno l’incarnazione di Cristo. Mistero che non si può concettualizzare come non si può concettualizzare la quadratura del cerchio; non si può vedere come non si vedono i propri occhi. Succede però che un antico poeta di Firenze asserisca di essere salito in carne e ossa nell’alto dei cieli, e di avere visto lassù in Cristo-Dio i propri, i tuoi, i miei occhi, di essersi visto, per un attimo d’eternità, con gli occhi di Cristo-Dio, di essere stato lui, unico della propria miseranda unicità di uomo, contemporaneo di Dio nell’armoniosa unicità dell’essere, e di non poterlo né raccontare né ricordare né aver capito né… Ma racconta di esser poi tornato sulla terra, portando in solitudine la passione e l’oltraggio d’essersi riconosciuto nel solo Dio. Investito peraltro da alcuni famosi santi del compito di scrivere quell’esperienza inenarrabile, immemorabile, incomprensibile, racconta di aver preso carta e penna, e così, su due piedi, nella smania dei giorni che se ne andavano, d’essere riuscito bene o male a scriverla, a emendamento e salvazione dei nostri ceffi di poveri Cristi futuri, in una lingua futura, nel libro sterminato che comincia: Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita. Incredibile.

Vittorio Sermonti, commento a Paradiso XXXIII

#it's the first time in my life that I get to teach the comedy for the mandated three years #the day that we were supposed to study the end I got to school early I met the kids in the corridors for rec time and told them all #to be on time because we were to meet god that day and they laughed and obliged #I started the class telling them that - Dante was afraid so very afraid not to be able to tell us even an ounce of what he wanted to #tell us #and so they could only imagine how frightened *I* was #then we started; and we dived into the text for two hours; and I was emotional and they were too because that's how it works: #if love enters the classroom it moves us all #and then the two hours were about to end #and we were there with our eyes fixed in the incomprehensible and the unsayable #and #a l'alta fantasia qui mancò possa #ma già volgea il mio disio e 'l velle #sì come rota che ugualmente è mossa #l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle #and the bell rang #and they stood still #and then they clapped #to dante #to three years that started in the hungry belly of the pandemic #when I would teach them dante over google meet #to our journey from the dark woods to the stars #to us #and I clapped too #and thanked them #and then moved on and went to teach another class but I was still reeling and I still am #dante #dante alighieri #the divine comedy #la divina commedia
