btw “bullet journaling can be adapted to suit your needs” doesn’t just mean “here’s a wide range of pretty but time-consuming habit trackers you can include”, it can also just be “if you use cheap biros that can’t write a dot as reliably as the fancy fineliners it’s okay to use different bullets” or “it’s okay to skip days, and in fact maybe writing your to-do list the night before or even the same day can alleviate any stress you have about Not Using Your Journal Properly”

this post brought to you by my realising a couple of days ago “oh. this thing i’ve been doing for the past few months is literally just bullet journaling without all the fancy art and stuff”

sounds like a derry girls episode

Still reeling from the realization that bullet journaling was essentially created to be a disability aid and got legit fuckin gentrified

[izukuwus]

Like I'm at work and don't have the time to properly organize my thoughts atm but like.

-bullet journalling was invented by a man with a learning disability (99% sure it was ADHD but his website now just says learning disability so I can't be 100%) as a system for organizing his life/way to work WITH his learning disability

-the general concept is bullet point the important things you need to do and use a simple system of symbols to mark whether it's done, rescheduled, cancelled, etc. with very little fanfare, keeping it all in one notebook so you know where to easily find the information at a glance

-people pick it up and it starts getting popular

-bullet journaling becomes an aesthetic movement largely populated by white neurotypicals

-bullet journaling has turned into creating an extremely pretty notebook that has some function, but largely depends on complicated decoration and aesthetic function that takes more time to set up than is tenable for the people it was created for

-new entries to bullet journaling feel pressure to shop at particular stores, use particular brands, purchase lots of stationery purely for its aesthetic value, and prioritize the artistry of the pages rather than the information being stored on them

-people who would massively benefit from the original system can only really find information on it from members of the aesthetic movement. There is now a barrier to entry for ppl with ADHD and other similar conditions, as bullet journaling now requires a focus and motivation to start that these same people often lack or struggle to maintain consistently

-bullet journaling is no longer a disability aid and has become an aesthetic movement largely for middle class white neurotypicals, pushing out the people who the system was created for to begin with

[bibookmerm]

This is the original guide from the person who made bullet journalling. Super simple. Not at all high maintenance.

It was eye-opening to rewatch this after getting used to bullet journal meaning "work of highly decorative art you might journal in if it doesn't detract from the decoration" everywhere online.

Wow, incredible list. We’re reading several of these in my graduate Black Feminist Thought class!

[scholarlyhobbit]

White feminists always want to know how to not be racist.  They want to be educated.  Here is the beginning of that education.  Use it.

‘two smiling girls’ - carl bloch (1865)

[lumen-du-reves]

I know everyone cites Percy Jackson, Harry Potter or The Secret History as their entry into dark academia, but I think we’ve all been forgetting these ??

Literally any modern academic, astrology, historian could be tied to these. The art in them and the interactive aspects?? Forget anything else THIS was the blueprint. We all wish our bullet journals and study notes looked like these. 

Not to mention there is a film in development with the premise of “a research institute, where the fringe sciences that no one else takes seriously are studied in earnest” ??!!! Guys it’s made for us. Everyone go thank author Dugald Steer! 

And also make your own book like this for your subject specialty so I can enjoy learning like a kid again. Maybe  I’ll present my master’s thesis in one of these bad boys, who knows?

capitalism is like. resting is a waste of time. eating is a waste of time. sleeping is a waste of time. playing is a waste of time. living is a waste of time. you must prove your worth to live here and everything else is a waste. and we’re taught not to question it. 

[aristhought]

i will eat my meals and take my naps and sit on benches and i will stop to do nothing and i will cherish those moments.

[dkpsyhog]

The only wasted time is the time spent working jobs that only make the rich richer

typewriter!

[theclockworkjudas]

I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout

[silly-jellyghoty]

Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.
