This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

I have learned the hard way that I love learning but was not made for academic culture.

I can't even fathom the future impact this will have on the condition of my neurons. They aren't doing well enough as it is.

“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.”

– Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

A slight reintroduction

Strangers, as I was writing my "Hello again" post, it occurred to me that there could be new faces joining my orbit soon, and figured it would be a good idea to re-introduce myself. There really is no way to approach this without sounding funny, but I'll do my best to make this as interesting and seamless as possible.

For those who don't know, my name is Lyneah (she/her/hers, nicknamed 'L' or 'El' if that's easier). I am an aspiring author, an English undergrad, and study both as a hobby. I am an avid supporter of all aspects of arts and education and my last post goes more into what you can expect from my account as a young adult who is in the pursuit of such things. I will likely share pieces of my experiences as a writer, which is a strong passion of mine, and I welcome all conversations centered around the industry, poets, authors (new and old), books, and the community in general. As the holidays begin and cold weather moves in, I hope everyone is someplace warm and cozy. I hope my page provides a place of comfort if I'm here and you're here for a while.

I don't have much to share that hasn't already been said. I'm 21 years old, (22 this month). I graduate soon... crazy. I have been through a few things that I'm not willing to share at the moment, but maybe I'll be inclined to do so for some reason in the future. If you choose to follow and join me, I encourage us all to practice a form of gentle peace, love, and kindness. Intentionally.

For now take my recommendation as a peace offering: Long Lost by Lord Huron. (Been on repeat all day).

Looking forward to the adventure,

L

Hello (for now)--

Twitter is going down the drain so I thought I'd do a trial run and semi-return after my nearly 3-year hiatus. (I honestly don't even know who still follows me?) Not sure what Tumblr is at this point, but here's to discovering whatever I'm unaware of. I honestly wish I had more to offer but nothing's happened in the last few years that I really want to share so I don't really know what this account will be. Maybe I'll share some writing and some art. I would love nothing more than to find a writing community so maybe that's where I'll be led.

For anyone following me since 2015 (if you're even still here)-- I'm proudly bisexual, ex-catholic, and doing the work to be as compassionate as possible. All my pages and profiles actively support LGBTQ+, BIPOC, environmentalism, anti-racism, feminism, and all minorities. My ideologies and philosophies have developed as a reflection of who I am. So yes, I suppose that means I'm leftist. My life online isn't as detailed as it used to be and there are things on this account I am not proud of. I believe it's important to identify that I was a part of the problem for a long time during my teenage years and at 21 (almost 22), I am still unlearning those habits and beliefs. Therefore, if this account is a space that you do not support or feel you need to unfollow and go on your separate way-- feel free to do so.

We'll see how long I stick around. Until I figure out what I want from this account-- feel free to message me and have a free-spirited conversation. I don't see my account having any profound impact, but it very well might introduce me to some new acquaintances. Maybe this will just be a bittersweet send-off to that unhinged, crazy girl that only joined for Supernatural and Sherlock.

Until then,

L

lol does anyone even still follow this account

[eintsein]

ok so apparently not a lot of ppl know to do this when ‘reviewing notes’ but

look at section of notes

look away from section of notes

explain section of notes

check if explanation was correct

identify mistakes/gaps

recite correction for each mistake/gap

repeat until no mistakes

gotta practice recalling the info instead of just acknowledging its correctness

Norwegian Underground Worker Comes to Minneapolis for Love

Beth Dulin, 20, of Oslo, Norway, was 15 when she enlisted in the underground and was assigned to take down, in shorthand, the messages and news received from England on her father’s radio. She was captured and tortured for information by the Gestapo, beaten with a horsewhip across her back by Nazi officer Col. Otto F. Fehmer, chief of the Gestapo in Oslo. She was released after five days in prison.

After escape and War’s end, Dulin came to Minneapolis to marry former U.S. Army lieutenant Wallace Knutsen, whom she fell in love with at a party in Oslo. When she arrived in Minneapolis she learned that Knutsen had not yet divorced his wife and that his wife refused. Dulin ended the romance and moved to New York, where she would work for the Norwegian consulate before returning to Oslo.

OH MY GOD IT’S HIM

[little-creative-dragon]

I just wanna say that mother nature needs to either a) figure out who exactly she wants to take out and just do it or b) maybe take us out altogether without thrusting us into the bitter ass cold hoping we all take in a breath as we transition from inside to outside and yes breathing is not available for a good five or ten seconds after this action is placed i’m just warning y’all
