This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

Feeling a little down right now. I started going back to school ,and one of the classes isn't as organized as I would like. I need a list of "Do this, read this and take notes" I feel like I am not getting that, and it is honestly making me feel kinda stupid. Maybe it is just because it is an online only class, but it's rough for me. So I am having a little bit of a tough time right now with it, its only the second week so I hope that it gets better structurally for me, because right now I feel like I am not doing well with it. I was never a good traditional student, I did better with visual learning and project type stuff. Just how my brain works I guess.

Here we are a week into the new year and I am having a hard time focusing. I started going back to school in the fall to get a bachelors degree to be able to teach at the school I work at with disabled adults. I have found it to be rewarding and something I am good at. I was never really a great traditional student so I have trouble focusing on my studying. I also have some screen printing to do, and I am having trouble going outside to work on that as well.

I wish I could explain it, but I am just lacking motivation these days. It makes me feel lazy, and unproductive which tumbles back onto itself. I wanted to be able to write this somewhere, but I didn't want to put it on FB or IG because it feels like a buzzkill to people out there right now when so much else is going on in the world.

In a recent poll, American think that:

21% of the US is transgender (the actual number is between 0.5% and 1.6%)

30% are gay or lesbian (3%) and an additional 30% are bisexual (4%), meaning the average American thinks that only around 19% of them are cisgender heterosexuals. The actual number of cisgender heterosexuals is around 90% of the population.

30% Muslim (1%) and 30% Jewish (2%), however contradictory to this they also think 58% are Christian, equaling 118% of Americans are of the abrahamic religions to the average American or some people are both Jewish or Muslim and Christian.

33% atheist (3%), meaning the abrahamic religions+ atheism is 141% of the US population.

41% black (12%), 27% (1%) native American, 29% asian (6%), and 39% Hispanic (17%), but also 59% white (64% actual)

30% live in NYC (3%), 30% live in Texas (9%), and 32% live in California (12%), meaning only 8% live in the rest of the country (actual 76%).

And lastly the average American believe only 62% of us have a high school education, actual number is 89%.

People vastly overestimate the general knowledge of the average American, let alone political knowledge and critical thinking skills. We live in the consequences of the children left behind.
