"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares

"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.

".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

all roads lead back to the loneliness i felt as a child

[filmnoirsbian]

I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

calm evening back at my desk planning a paper 📖 i really need to decorate my desk more! + an old picture in my camera roll of a bookstore i used to go to a lot

the mock exam honestly did not go well today :')

i also foolishly decided to try to teach myself how to code an original dataset for a term paper that's due in less than 6 weeks. my professor warned me against doing it but i hate being doubted so now i have to do it. wish me luck i guess

I spent a lot of time out today. I started feeling guilty this morning because I was not working on my thesis but it was worth it. Tomorrow I plan on rereading all the notes I have written on primary sources, and then I will email the professor. Today I focused a lot of my time on getting work done for my English tutoring sidequest, and now I am all good until next week. I'll be finishing the day by dogsitting the creature. We already spent some time in the garden, so I guess that now she'll be sleepy, which only means one thing: cuddles!

April days of productivity - day 9

Morning reading

Morning walk

Organized my next steps for thesis work

Wrote down a timeline of the primary sources I have read so far for my thesis

Prepared materials for my tutoring side quests

Wrote down some simple notes for the girl I am tutoring (I basically wrote down 5 pages of notes with basic rules mainly for verbs since she is struggling to tell them apart. And so many examples. I did write everything by hand, color coded everything. And yes I am indeed an overachiever)
