Hii I'm Faye. Still figuring out what kinds of stuff I want to post but I've started with journaling pictures :)

• 21, she/her

Some stuff about me:

- I'm in my first year of my bachelor English Culture and Language. My favorite courses are British and American lit

-I like reading, going to concerts, journaling and watching movies.

- Add me on goodreads if you want!

- I'm a sticker hoarder and will probably be posting lots of pics of them :))

Wohoo! Tapestry in the Jerusalem Chamber!

Yay! I finally found the original vintage postcard which is used in the journal!!! =D

I was able to get the whole original postcard set which this one was part of. These sets were first sold back in November 1935! That’s just awesome! ❤️

Here you see the original postcard below my prop made one in my journal ;)

I think in the original prop they used a print as well. In different screencaps you can see that the front motive is used on both sides of the card - or, for even more fun from the prop department, it’s just upside down…:

Also I found a vintage real photograph set, where the postcard motive was used as well:

Couldn’t find out the exact date, but I think it could be from the 1930s as well.

Aren’t these just beautiful? =) I’m so happy I finally found it!!! ❤️

A little side quest today?

Some arts and local produce markets, some journaling while sitting in the shade, and two scoops of ice cream.

It's officially summer break.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Another day, another fun annotating session! 📝🎐

When I really want to understand a paper, I try to “dumb-down” EVERYTHING (!!!) I can, no matter how hard or easy it seemed on the first read.

Also, I organize paragraphs in my own way so that when I come back later, I can quickly scan my bullet points and use them to navigate the paper 🫟💭

🐳 Another BIG reason I post my notes is because I want to normalize sloooooowing down. Not everyone understands or memorizes something after reading it once, and that’s okay!!!! Take as much time as you need with a text. Give yourself permission to slow down, reread, and write as many “dumb” annotations as you want, even the “everyone probably knows what this word means, so why don’t I?” kind 💓 No one’s there to judge you! It took me way too long to let myself stop working the way other people work and start finding a way that actually works for me. I hope you do too!
