The biggest literary flex was when Elizabeth rejected Mr. Collins’ proposal and everyone thought she was crazy since she couldn’t possibly get such a good opportunity ever again and then she married one of Britain’s most eligible bachelors in the best “surprise, bitches!” move ever
I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
Doris Day's Fly me to the Moon is playing while I read about prison abolitionism. I wanted a poetic evening.

me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?
me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.
I'm in love with the brain this came out of
I'm looking for a pen pal
Hello again! Since it has been a bit of a challenge for me to find a pen pal, I'll do it through here! Please consider this to be my official ad.
My name is Ana and I'm 23 years old. I'm a couple of classes away from graduating law school and I hope to be a diplomat one day. I'm very passionate about politics, music, literature, and philosophy.
I'm looking for someone to exchange ideas with, as well as something to do with my old typewriter, which is just collecting dust at the moment. I love writing stories, and would love to hear yours. I'm obsessed with dark academia aesthetics, and I love including some trinkets with my letters ✨.
Anyone that speaks French or Russian would be wonderful, as I'm learning both (I can hold a basic French conversation, but I just started with Russian). I'm fluent in English and Spanish, et je me debrouille en français.
If anyone would be interested, my DMs are open!
(I should add that it would make me uncomfortable to message with anyone under the age of 20. I just want to be appropriate).
My gender is somewhere in between an 80s chad goblin, that girl from top gun, gregory from over the garden wall, tom hiddleston's loki, and a dark academic werewolf.
I don't know either
The sexual tension between nb people and having a grey pixie cut
"Woman, though it's something that affects me, is not what I am" is probably one of the rawest things I've ever written in a journal.
silent girl september… sleepy girl september… solitary girl september…
Studious gxrl september...
Sometimes I find the idea that there are bad people in this world so unbearable that I just pretend I'm wrong.
“i don’t like writing about my day, but i want to keep a journal”:
quotes and copywork. when reading, if you find something you enjoy, just copy it into the notebook. you can copy a whole chapter if you wish, highlighting what caught your attention the most.
definitions. look up on a dictionary and copy it. you could write your own dictionary as well, making up definitions for words.
lists. a classic, write movies to watch, books to read, the playlist of the month or just the groceries you have to buy.
maps. when going somewhere, you could draw the route you took or just a map of the place itself. just look up the place on google maps and copy it. you can draw a little map of all the places you have lived or the schools you have attended as well.
photos
take “notes” as you watch movies / documentaries. write down phrases that caught your attention or doodle.
illustrations and clippings. if you see an image or piece of art that you liked, put it in your journal. if it’s from a book or from a magazine I would recommend scanning it, tho’. it will serve as a record of what kind of art you enjoy through the years.
newspaper clippings from the day.
tickets and pamphlets. from movies, museums, transportation.
postcards
records. you could record for a month what the temperature was when you woke up and when you went to sleep. if you do that for a year, it gives you a better notion of the passing of seasons. you could record rainfall and other seasonal changes as well. you could choose something (an animal, a plant, an item or object) and write down every time you see it.
rubbings of leaves, coins, landmarks.
count. there’s a scene in the movie Coraline (2009) where Coraline’s dad tells her to go count the windows. you could do the same type of counting game if you are bored and write down.
mindmaps/sketchnotes + timelines of books, movies, music albums.
collages
pressed leafs and flowers
your collections. if you collect anything you could write down an inventory or maybe try to draw the items.
recipes. write down recipes and give it a score every time you try it. you could do the same for drinks you try out.
stickers
comic strips. you can find a bunch of it online, glue your favorites in your notebook.
Back to School!
I will be taking to the void for a while (I'm sure) but HELLO! I'M EXCITED FOR SCHOOL!!!
This is going to be a strange year, but a year I'm so looking forward to regardless. I am a couple classes away from graduating, so I will start everything diplomacy related this year as well! Russian and French here I come.
I will try to be as consistent as possible with this blog, but I basically want to document my cultural journey ✨
This is going to be a year of theatre, music, opera, art, literature, languages and culture overall.
And I want to take anyone that wants to come with me.
See you soon!
