Since twitter (which had inadvertently become my main form of text based social platform because I felt detached from tumblr for ages) is basically gone to shit so I come back here and—

i truly believe that a lot of what gets labeled as "yearning" on here is actually deep & profound & excruciating loneliness & i really think we would have more productive discussions about it if we could just call a spade a spade

like loneliness is an incredibly serious mood state that has major implications for your physical & mental health & the pain it causes is far more intense than simple "yearning." a deep, agonizing longing for human connection is actually a really really big deal

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.

This is ultimately why propaganda is going to work on you. Because you never learned how to think for yourself and the actual ideology behind things. You simply rely on group think and the bare minimum explanations to tell you what's good and bad.

23/30 days of self care

Today I continued working on the first set of documents I took pictures of at the archive, and believe it or not I am basically done with this first group of photos. I will conclude it tomorrow morning, and then start on the second set of pictures, which I feel like I could manage to be done with by the end of the week. I also heard from the professor, who asked me to have a meeting to discuss the first chapter of my thesis. So at the end of the week I'll have that, and it was perfect timing because I was already planning to take that day off to go out with my mom. I have been given some money to spend on books for my birthday so I cannot wait for it. Aside from this I did again quite a bit of reading, I have picked up House Of Leaves by M.Z. Danielewski again after almost a month of having it on hold. I think I've finally hit the pont of the book in which I am really interested to know how things will develop. I am more or less half way into it, and the more ambitious part of me would like to finish it by the end of the week. I am not sure if I can do it, but I surely can try. In the afternoon I have also practiced Irish on duolingo. Self care things I did today:

read first thing in the morning (and a lot during my study breaks)

took some time to draw (after such a long time I was really in the mood to do some drawing and I started a big illustration in my bullet journal for August)

tranquilstudy's studying challenge // day 27

Take some pictures studying outside in the sun!

The stuff I am working on at the moment is all on my tablet, so it is impossible for me to study outside, which is a nightmare, because I love studying in my garden. I am lucky because I do get a lot of natural light in my study, but the feeling of studying around my plants is unbeatable.

"nothing matters so do what you love and be kind" is the single most viscerally impactful message i have ever gleaned from consuming media and i'm going to live every day with that kind of hopepunk nihilism for the rest of my life
