SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Winterlude” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzItKdtTSXM
This is a collaboration with my old friend Victor Valverde, a creative soul with an uplifting demeanor. We made many recordings and were both in a band called October. "Winterlude" began in a San Francisco apartment on a home porta-studio w/old school synthesizers and electric guitar. Then it was moved to a pro studio for remixing and mastering. I enjoy its future-primitive space age sound. Victor's choice of title is curious as he is from Los Angeles, but he moved to Nebraska and I'm sure he's had his share of wintry experiences since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzItKdtTSXM

Meet my sister P.20-Jude Bellingham
plot: Federico Valverde wants to introduce his younger sister to Jude, his teammate. He hoped that something romantic would be born between them seeing that their characters were perfect together but things take a different turn
Jason stared at Jude with a challenging expression, almost provocative, as if testing his limits. Every movement of his face, every tight little smirk, seemed calculated to irritate Jude. And, in truth, it was working. You noticed Jude’s jaw clench tighter and the arm around your shoulders grow firmer, as though he wanted to assert his presence even more.
Federico, observing the scene, let out a slight sigh and stepped forward. “Listen, Jason, maybe it’s better if you leave. I don’t think this is the time or place for this show.” His tone was firm but not aggressive. Clearly, he was trying to keep things under control.
However, you could tell that Federico’s words weren’t having much effect. Jason stayed put, rooted to the spot, continuing to glare at Jude. The tension in the air was palpable, and you worried Jude might lose his temper. With a decisive gesture, you raised your hand and gently placed it on Jude’s neck, stroking it softly. Then you leaned into his ear and whispered, in a voice only he could hear:
“He’s not worth it, Jude. Let him go. He doesn’t even deserve your anger.”
Jude took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Your touch and words seemed to work, though you could still see a flicker of irritation in his eyes. Slowly, his grip on your shoulders loosened slightly, and he looked at you with an expression that said: For you, only for you, I’ll let it go.
Federico, seizing the moment, stepped toward Jason again, this time more assertively. “You heard her, didn’t you? It’s better if you leave before things get messy.” His voice carried more authority now, and finally, Jason seemed to realize he had no allies here.
With one last look at you and a defiant glance at Jude, Jason turned on his heel and walked away, before he left he said something that was making Jude go and beat him up. "It doesn't end here darling, sooner or later I will find you alone and we will talk".
---
When Jason finally walked away, a heavy silence filled the room. You and Federico exchanged a glance, both of you focusing on Jude. The calm he displayed was just a facade; you knew him well enough to recognize the storm of anger he was holding back.
Federico scrutinized you, raising his eyebrows slightly in a questioning gesture. With a small nod, you signaled that it was best for him to leave you two alone. Federico nodded and, without a word, headed upstairs, leaving you alone with Jude.
You turned toward him and called out in a calm but firm voice:
"Jude?"
He didn’t turn around. He remained still, his shoulders stiff and his fists slightly clenched at his sides. You could see every muscle in his body was tense, as if he was battling with himself to keep his anger in check.
"Jude," you repeated, this time taking a step closer.
Still no response. The silence surrounding him was almost louder than any words he could have said. You stopped just a step behind him, hesitating for a moment before gently placing a hand on his back.
"Love, look at me," you whispered softly, trying to diffuse the tension in the air. But he didn’t turn. He didn’t move. Yet you could feel that your words were slowly starting to break through. You continued, your voice a mix of sweetness and firmness:
"I know you’re angry. And I understand. But he doesn’t matter. He has no power over us."
Jude closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath as if trying to gather the strength to calm down. But he still didn’t speak, the silence that followed was still heavy with emotion.
You moved even closer to Jude, ignoring the tension radiating from his body. With infinite tenderness, you lifted your hand and gently caressed his cheek, feeling his muscles relax slightly under your touch.
Finally, his eyes met yours. Those eyes that usually sparkled with confidence were now filled with conflicting emotions: anger and worry, but also a desperate need for reassurance. He had the look of a wounded puppy, and you couldn’t help but feel your heart ache for him.
"Jude," you whispered softly, bringing your face closer to his. Before he could respond, you pressed your lips to his in a sweet, reassuring kiss. For a moment, he hesitated, then responded with sudden passion, deepening the kiss. His hands settled firmly on your hips, pulling you toward him with a force that revealed just how much he needed you in that moment.
Without even realizing it, you threw yourself entirely into his arms, letting yourself be enveloped by his protective embrace. His hands moved along your back as the kiss grew more intense. Jude pulled you even closer, almost as if he were afraid to let you go.
"You’re all that matters," he murmured against your lips when you finally pulled back to catch your breath, his gaze locked onto yours. "I won’t let anyone come near you or ruin what we have."
His words, full of determination and love, made you smile softly as you wrapped your arms around his neck. "And I won’t let anyone take you away from me," you replied firmly.
He pulled you even tighter, his heartbeat pounding against yours as you stayed there, embraced and connected, forgetting everything else around you.
You stayed embraced in Jude's arms, your body perfectly nestled against his protective embrace. His head rested on your shoulder, his warm breath brushing your neck with every deep inhalation. Gently, your fingers began to run through his soft, curly hair, caressing it with slow, circular movements.
"Mmhm," he murmured with his eyes closed, his face relaxed as if all the stress had melted away under your touch. "Don’t stop, please..." he added with a husky, drowsy voice, making you smile tenderly.
"I wasn’t planning to," you replied with a small, amused smile, continuing to scratch his head. With each caress, he seemed to melt more into you, his body surrendering to yours as if you were his only safe haven.
Occasionally, you couldn’t resist and leaned in to give him a sweet kiss on the cheek. He shifted slightly, the corners of his lips lifting into a small, pleased smile. "Are you trying to make me fall asleep?" he murmured with a low, deep laugh, still with his eyes closed.
"Maybe," you answered in a soft, playful tone, placing another kiss on his cheek, this time a little longer, a little more affectionate. "You’re cuter when you sleep. You don’t think too much about everything else."
His arms tightened around you, as if he didn’t want to let you go. "Maybe I don’t think too much because you’re here," he whispered against your skin, making your heart race in your chest. His words made you smile like a lovesick teenager, the warmth of his affection enveloping you completely.
"Then I’ll always stay here," you responded, continuing to run your fingers through his hair and leaving him another kiss, this time closer to the corner of his lips.
"Always," he replied firmly, slowly opening his eyes to look at you with that deep, loving gaze that made you feel like you were the only person in the world. "If you leave, I’ll come get you wherever you are."
Your smile grew bigger, and you felt your heart swell with sweetness. "I’m not going anywhere, Jude," you promised, meeting his gaze confidently. "I’m yours, remember?"
"I remember perfectly," he responded before tilting his face and stealing a kiss from you, slow and sweet but with that touch of passion only he knew how to add. "And I'll never stop reminding you."

As faces de Rosa
Preciso começar dizendo que Rosa Rasuck é a artista visual de maior caminhada no tempo que já ouvi falar assim, tão de perto. O tempo importa pois é premissa na Guilda Anansi: quanto mais tempo de estrada, mais histórias para contar, e assim mais aprendizados são entregues aos olhos atentos. Foi assim com Rosa, e aquelas duas horas (que já saíram do tempo marcado), foram pequenas se comparadas à imensidão de sua experiência. Logo reconheço as manias de artista visual: o amor pelas linhas, fios, aglomerações, espaçamentos, cores, pelo peso das cores, dos traços, movimento, das milhões de matemáticas até o sentimento. Reconheço a rebeldia, o rompimento, quando conta que foi educada tradicionalmente em desenho mas em ação, fugia às expectativas limitantes criadoras de reprodutores em série. Rosa não exerceu as artes visuais como principal ponto de sua vida em tempo integral desde que a desabrochou em si. Foi tantas coisas, fez tantas coisas. Foi professora de inglês, escritora, articuladora cultural, produtora também, trabalhou com arquitetura, passou por muitos institutos fundantes em sua formação, parecerista em projetos artísticos e culturais, experimentou por todas as partes das artes, em tantas épocas, conhece com as mãos cada tempo, e não deixou de ser nada disso, assim entendi. Ensinou nesse dia que tudo, de uma oficina de dança à feitura de papel, é alimento a um artista visual. O que importa mesmo é não se limitar. Falando em papel, meu coração brilhou ao saber que tem intimidade profunda com esse processo de feitura e seus aparatos. Disse que a fibra do quiabo dá o papel mais lindo. Que papel é sobre o poder de transformação. Pelo que conta, imagino que sua casa não seja diferente do que meu quarto é. Tudo é reminiscência, rastro, processos, tentativas, resultados, todo papel é potente, tudo pode ser. A inevitável e constantíssima matéria que acompanha um artista plástico. São ‘Habitantes do Sono’ porque não me deixam dormir, ela disse quando perguntei sobre a motivação das obras expostas ali. Rosa é filha primogênita, irmã, escorpiana certeira, mãe e avó, para se dizer o mínimo, num mundo em que a dissidência se inicia em ser mulher. Está tudo ali nas figuras transgressoras de rostos alongados, indistintas em gênero, muito ambíguas, humanas e não humanas ao mesmo tempo. De qualquer forma, cheias de vida. Muito grata eu sou pela abertura inspiradora de sua parte, principalmente nessa semana de curso profundo até o Sarau Boca Acesa 0.22, onde exporei uma obra deveras importante em meu caminho. Pra lembrar de não deixar passar. A série “Habitantes do Sono” está no mural-galeria posicionado no salão de um agradável restaurante no centro de Serra Grande em exposição junto a outros artistas. Nossa conversa aconteceu no dia 29 de Junho, de 11h às 13h, e contou também com a presença de Izabella Valverde e Victor Diomondes, além de Eric Ra, fotógrafo e coordenador da galeria. imagem de izabella valverde, desenhos de rosa rasuck

Okay, I’m still processing The Secret History, so I don’t want to talk about that. Instead, I decided to make a mini-list of some movies/books that are in the Dark Academia vein, but that I haven’t seen on rec lists. All descriptions are from Wikipedia, with my comments below.
Cracks (2009 movie) Set in the 1930s in a strict elite British boarding school called St Mathilda's, the story centres on a clique of girls who idolise their enigmatic diving instructor, Miss G (Eva Green). Di Radfield (Juno Temple) has a crush on Miss G, and is the firm favourite and ringleader of her group. When a beautiful Spanish girl named Fiamma Corona (María Valverde) arrives at the school, Miss G's focus is shifted away from the other girls. It becomes a triangle: Miss G gets increasingly obsessed with Fiamma, Fiamma is disturbed by Miss G and also openly disgusted by the teacher's hypocrisies and deceptions, and Di is terribly jealous and makes Fiamma's life hell. ED: Very atmospheric, with great performances especially from the girls. Warnings for implied underage sexual assault and bullying.
Testament of Youth (2014 movie) In 1914, Vera Brittain wants to escape her traditional family by attending Oxford University with her younger brother Edward and his friends at Uppingham School, Roland Leighton and Victor Richardson. In the face of her father's opposition, she passes the entrance examination for Somerville College, Oxford. Before enrolling at Oxford, Vera and Roland—who shares her interest in writing and poetry—begin a romance, although she knows that Victor is in love with her. ED: This movie’s about Brittain’s service as a VAD nurse in World War I, so that’s obviously the main focus of the plot, but the scenes filmed at Oxford are glorious to look at and provide insight into the experiences of the first wave of women who were allowed to study there. It’s based on her autobiography of the same name, published in 1933, which contains even more descriptions of her life at Oxford, where she returned after the war to complete her degree in English Literature. Warnings for gory depictions of injury and death -- Brittain’s writing style in the book can also be a little hard to get through at times.
Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis (1955 book) A partial autobiography published by C. S. Lewis in 1955. The work describes Lewis’s life from very early childhood (born 1898) until his conversion to Christianity in 1931 ED: Given its focus on Lewis’s religious experience, this won’t be a book to interest everyone, but it’s notable for its unvarnished -- and very, very dark -- description of life in an upper middle-class British boys’ school in the early 20th century. This ain’t no Dead Poets Society: warnings for descriptions of systematic sexual abuse and bullying. Also have to advise that Lewis was very much “a man of his time,” and so his writing tends to be heavy on the masculine-biased language and a generally condescending tone (sorry to all you Lewis lovers).
Things Heard, Things Seen (2021 movie, Netflix original) In 1979, Catherine Clare, an art restorer, lives in Manhattan with her husband George and daughter Franny. When George lands a job teaching art history at a college, the family moves into a large farm house in upstate New York. ED: This is not really a movie about academia but the film’s look and feel is **chef’s kiss!** The college scenes were filmed at Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, New York and they are wonderfully atmospheric, as is the whole movie with many sweeping vistas of the fall/winter landscape. While it may not scratch your Dark Academia itch, this is overall an excellent film with moving performances, some good jump scares, a number of surprises, and an unexpectedly satisfying ending. Warnings for domestic abuse, eating disorders, murder, and some bloody scenes.
