Just watched “On A Clear Day” and I am BEGGING someone to make gifs of the Billy Boyd scenes because holy sheet there’s some delicious eye candy in this film 🤤
Agnes Martin, On A Clear Day, 1973, 30 silkscreen prints in grey on cream 12x12-inch Japanese paper, being sold at Christie's in Apr 2023.
And on the right, a collection of sketches by Agnes Martin, all dated 1972, that correspond to the prints as Domberger's studio realized them, but which feel more like schematics than what they're called by the SFMOMA people storing the Fisher Collection: Untitled (Study for On A Clear Day).
In today’s episode, I read my poem titled On a Clear Day.

On a Clear Day – Cendrine Marrouat
On a clear day,One can see blue skiesAnd a bright Sun.
On a clear day,Smiles flutter like butterfliesAnd invitingly flourish.
On a clear day,The visions of yesterdayDie with the rest of regrets.
And the entire world sparkles,Fulfilling prophecies and dreams.
Freedom will…
I can't believe I decided to read orv on a whim because I just wanted a good manhwa with no romance subplot and here I am knees deep into the novel questioning my whole life because whatever these mfs have got going on is much more nastier and visceral than any romance.
love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.
love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.
love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.
love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.
maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.
recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.
are. are you telling me that if the romanced mage warden dies and alistair is king, he deadass stares greagoir down over her dead body and grants the circle of ferelden its autonomy after ordering it rebuilt somewhere safer. first you have to deliberately leave him behind so he won't die for you and then he does that for you once you're gone, even when you're broken up??? absolute and literal king behaviour of the highest order????? the actions speak louder than words of it all??????? I think I hauve covid
Not really a ‘resolution’ because I might as well just fail it like any other yearly commitment we all had, but I came back to reading after a while in the first three months of the year.
This is my second yet, from the same author of the first one I finished last Feb, namely Dakota Home (by Debbie Macomber). Swore to read a different work but ended up crawling back to DM’s; fell in love with her way of writing, and also her branding of romance, home, and hurt.
It’s a coincidence that my course and these books involved characters with disabilities and special needs.
Sharing my latest book snap and readings! Might as well recommend, since I’ve already enjoyed this after a few flip of pages.
