I love that I decided to live. I love that I decided to live. #SaturdayPoem
John Coltrane: My Favorite Things (Live in Japan, 1966)
Robin Arble

I love Walter Benjamin and both Coltranes.
Not at the same time. I love them completely,

with my whole body. I love summery air and summer nights.
I love March because it’s green and I was born here.

I love the garden I water and weed in my mind
as I sleep. I love every bruise in my childhood.

I love filling my life with good books. Oh, all kinds.
Poems, novels, conversations. Walking through galleries

and art museums. Seeing a good movie twice and crying
at the same parts. Sitting on a park bench and listening.

I love my friends. I can feel each and every one of them
if I close my eyes and just think about laughter. Oh my God,

I love waking up. I’m so grateful I get to be here at all.
I love this feeling that God is in everything, but only

everything. I love how completely this feeling suits me.
I love that I decided to live. I love that I decided to live.

Of course I love myself. I love my transsexual body.
I’m so in love with you. I love you with my whole life.

i talk about the swan ALL THE TIME as an example of how fucked up it was to grow up in the 00s and people who don't remember it always think i'm exaggerating. which is fair enough, if it appeared as a fictional show in a film about that time you'd be like, that's a bit too on the nose

i remember reading an article by a psychiatrist that was like, the entire upper class of the UK (so most of parliament) has attachment trauma from being sent to boarding school age 5 and it really affects how they are ruling the country and it's part of why we're so fucked lol

have started doing a party game called pit sommelier, where a blindfolded person sniffs someone’s armpit and then has to describe the notes they’re getting (mine were described as smelling of rotting leaves) before guessing who the pit belongs to. highly recommend!!

following figure skating and tennis is wild for that, was shocked at first when tennis players were like "i'm withdrawing because i have a tummy ache" when figure skaters are like "i've injected myself with a numbing agent so i can't feel my landing leg, which is broken in eight places"

basically: the creator's word of their own work can be disagreed or criticized, their view of their own art is not definitive canon on the impact it has on culture. It's a mode of critical analysis, it's not a get out jail free card for your guilt in engaging with a creator's work as a political act

a true joy is to see a friend becoming insane about a work of art or entertainment I know nothing about and then getting them to explain it to me while in the throes of obsession. please give me the unhinged diatribe. it is a delight every time

moby dick fucking rules man
screenshot of text on pale blue background saying: 'Well then,' says he, 'wise Stubb, what have you to complain of? Didn't he kick with right good will? it wasn't a common pitch pine leg he kicked with, was it? No, you were kicked by a great man, and with a beautiful ivory leg, Stubb. It's an honour; I consider it an honour. Listen, wise Stubb. In old England the greatest lords think it great glory to be slapped by a queen, and made garter-knights of; but, be YOUR boast, Stubb, that ye were kicked by old Ahab, and made a wise man of. Remember what I say; BE kicked by him; account his kicks honours; and on no account kick back; for you can't help yourself, wise Stubb.

was at a welding workshop yesterday (!!!) where a couple of gen z gays who otherwise knew nothing about figure skating were making fun of ilia for skating to his own bad spoken word by proclaiming instructions about welding like "you are something.... but not nothing.... metal.... has a memory"

someone got mad at me when I said that if a word is used in samuel pepys' diaries that is considered evidence that that word was used at that time at least once (they insisted it wasn't and that no one in academia cites primary sources because they're not considered legitimate???)
