Querido diário,

Hoje me lembrei de que, na Nekyia de Homero, Odisseu desce ao mundo dos mortos em busca de Tirésias, mas encontra também a memória: para descobrir o caminho de volta, precisa antes ouvir as vozes do passado.

Ontem assisti a Backrooms (2026), que parece caminhar por esse mesmo território. Hoje, no terceiro episódio de Proud (2026-), encontrei o poema Hold Your Own, de Kae Tempest, e descobri que ele pertence ao livro em que a autora recria justamente o mito de Tirésias — personagem que admiro desde Tiresia (2003).

Gosto quando essas constelações se formam sem aviso. Hoje, justamente no Dia Internacional do Orgulho LGBTQIA+, senti que algumas vozes do passado continuavam encontrando novas formas de falar.

Happiness, the brand, is not happiness
Kae Tempest
When all there is is knowing that you feel 
what you are feeling
Hold your own

Kae Tempest
When everything is fluid
nothing can be known with any certainty
Hold your own

Proud, S01E03

I overthink. I think over. 
Over as above. As far from. 
From what? 

Then my body hurts. 
It overhurts.

Why speak of hate, when I do bleed for love?
Not hate, my love, but Love doth bite my tongue
Till I taste stuff that makes my rhyming rough

the bear and the salmon
Julian T. Brolaski

it lyked to eat salmon w/ its
fingers like a bear
and then use those fingers
to clean its glasses
it cried and it looked like a raccoon   I believe
it wanted to cultivate this look
hope all is well.  send smoke

the music made me feel a little anxious it was
hard thumping dance music a notch
upwards of 100 bpm notoriously the beat of life
the optimum tempo for cpr
