Come to the night gently.

Do not run.

Do not leap.

The sun sets on a schedule entirely her own.

There is no need to run eastwords

to hurry her on.

As the dusk settles

and the bruised air

fills your lungs,

and the black hares

hunker on the hillside,

Breathe.

Listen.

Witness

as the dark moon rises.

Rise alongside it and

greet the darkening sky.

You will see that

even as the sun’s gold

has fully faded,

and the purple breeze

has softened,

there is light.

That—

that which is part of you—

that which you are part of—

that which beckons you to rest.

For

there is no leaving.

There is only going home

where there are friends to meet you.

No song has ever captured the agony and internal conflict of Catholic Guilt, particularly around sex, as well as this. It's soul destroying

BAROQUE ART 🎭 love, ur local art mom 🩵

disclaimers and more information under the cut ✂️

hi I’m annemarie and I’m an art historian! not adjuncting for the first time in five years was rly hard for me so I threw some slides together so I could still (sort of) teach the same material as my language of art class but a) I threw these slides together for instagram so space was/is limited and b) language of art is a ten week run through art history so I’m presenting only the most accessible information here – there’s so much more to this art period and to this artist! – please don’t expect it to be comprehensive and please do ask if you have any questions!

oh p.s. my first ever class of art history students came up with the name ‘art mom’ for me at the end of the quarter and yes it does make me cry if I think about it too long thanks so much for asking

Nobody was doing it like Mary Magdalene. Tits out. Standing on a mountain. Holding a skull. She’s like the lesbian catholic hamlet. Aesthetically an absolute win for the gays.
