Call Him By His Name

Thank you for fighting for this world. For believing. Fare you well, my friend -- my inspiration.

I think the other thing i love about Conclave is some of my favorite poets and writers are queer people who are/have been profoundly devoutly religious like the moment i found out benjamin alire sáenz went to monastery and was on track to becoming a priest before becoming a writer I was just like "Aha! That's what it fucking was, that's where this philosophical torturous burden and deep empathy for others I'm feeling from your work comes from" deeply intellectually curious devout clergymen are such interesting people, its delicious, you cant get that shit from anywhere else

i used to be into wax sealing like 5 years ago i didn’t even write letters i was just obsessed with stationary (is it stationery idk) and i thought it was fun

anyway i bought a new resin for my 3D printer that’s supposed to be high-temp resistant bc in the past i would try to print my own stamps but they just stuck to the wax, but now it looks like i can actually make my own stamps so here’s what that looks like lol

Here’s some old-school metadede for the metadede enjoyers

This is meant to be a small sculpture of Hercules "fighting" the Nemean lion. Fighting is not the first F word that came to mind, I must say.

Granted it's also the handle of an antique wax sealing stamp, so the artist was somewhat limited in terms of space in which to work, but I appreciate the unsettling eroticism that this resulted in.

[ID: Four photographs of a silver sealing wax stamp with an almost awkwardly tall handle. Depicted on the handle is a man standing upright, nude, with a particuarly rounded ass; he has large brawny arms and is in the attitude of a wrestler. One arm is upraised to hold open the muzzle of a lion, which is rearing up on its hind legs to attack; the other arm is wrapped around the lion's torso. In most of the photos they do not look unlike a pair of lovers in carnal embrace.]
