Studying the sky

[ilfantasmadeldevon]

Oh my God

I did it. I finished it!

Months and months of on and off hard work, this period of time included my last exams of my master degree, my planning for a South Korea university trip, the cancellation of said trip, and the first days of this quarantine all we Italians are living..

But this is an incredible result. The original picture is a work of art, and I loved it to the point of spending the last half of a year reproducing it

Now, what's next?

if I had a nickel for every bookworm who fell in love with a societally percieved monster or demon because they gave them books, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Thinking about Pride and Prejudice romance as "he fell first, she fell harder" trope, and not being mad about it

[ilfantasmadeldevon]

Real life is apparently that thing where you

study physics at uni,

get a general knowledge of the frickin universe,

specialize in atmospheric physics and the environment,

just to get out of the school system to build trains. Trains. Wtf.

I seem to be happy tho

Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!?  Libraries literally saved my life as a child!

Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!

I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs) 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!

As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)

New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!

Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.

Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.

Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.

I love the library ☺

The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places

Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.

During the day

Omg this job is amazing, the colleagues are incredible, and yes, I have to commute for almost two hours but it's two hours of reading time!

As soon as the sun goes down

I'm going to die of sadness.

[ilfantasmadeldevon]

Today my body was able to release 15 years of fear and anxiety caused by singing in public.

I love how today, at an audition for a small choir part in a musical, the singing directors told me to try to audition for the lead roles too, and now I have a fever.

Just how much useless damage a single comment that a single person said on me, years and years ago, could do. Well, this much, aparently! 15 years of fear to sing in front of people.

We only remember the bad things insecure people tell us, but today I learned that, even if that's natural and acceptable (oh, the human mind's wonders), we should try anyway, at least one more time, to prove those people wrong.

Just do it, man! Before it's too late!

[ilfantasmadeldevon]

To Liu Cixin, author of The three body problem trilogy,

How where you able to do this?

How can it be that a single human brain is capable of such a creation?

Sincerely,

Astonished fan
