Like a snake, my heart
has shed its skin.
I hold it there in my hand,
full of honey and wounds.
—Federico García Lorca, from "New Heart"

Go watch La bola negra before the discourse gets truly insane and there are more pretentious/contrarian reviews.

man who gave the odyssey a five star rave review slanders film about centuries of queer repression and survival under fascism for “insisting on its own monumentality”
“La Bola Negra,” a new film by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, dramatizes gay repression and liberation across three interconnected stories. At first, the year is 1937 and viewers are thrust deep into the Spanish Civil War, where a Nationalist soldier and a wounded Republican e furtive glances. By the end, it’s 2017, and a Madrid-based historian need only look to Grindr to satisfy an urge. The movie “wants to be a sweeping historical epic of gay longing—a film about what it means to be a man who desires other men in times of war and peace,” Justin Chang writes. Instead, the directors have produced “a film that insists, arrogantly and aggressively, on its own monumentality”. Even compelling performances from Glenn Close, Penélope Cruz, and Lola Dueñas fail to rescue the extravagantly overwrought film. Read Chang's full review: newyorker.com/culture/the-cu…

"I don't know" is a beautiful sentence, maybe the most beautiful/most exciting sentence to an artist.

I'm feeling very much Author and not very much writer these days. I haven't written anything new in ages. But I'm trying to be patient with my creative self. Even though this creative lack is making me feel less overall like myself.
