Note to self, and maybe everybody else:
You do not need to know why you are writing a thing.
You do not need to know your point, your theme, your moral argument.
That may be the last thing you know.
This is fine. Trust that there is a why.
I wouldn’t be writing if I weren’t seeking meaning.

So confused by this “crisis of masculinity” bullshit. Is the crisis because we can cry now? Like, I can bench the same when I love all my queer friends and my calloused hands are still manly when I’m reading a book by a woman. “Manliness” is bullshit. Be you. Be good. Love hard. Forget the rest.

Beautiful article about Caravaggio, the pope, art and humanity.
A Closer Look at Pope Francis’ Favorite Painting (Gift Article)
Caravaggio was an artist of rare directness, whose naturalistic pictures brought the heavens down to earth. Our critic Jason Farago shows you what Francis may have seen in them.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to navigate Bluesky. I understand the mechanics but I’m trying to figure out what feels like an intuitive way to get around here.
Any tips?
