i love chaotic academia because its just dark academia for people with adhd

[ipromiseiwillwrite]

Dark academia is not about buying expensive books or sweaters or aesthetic props, sometimes its about illegally downloading a book you're dying to read, reading it and then showing a friend how to do the same.

Dark academia is not drinking 3 cups of coffee screwing up your mental and physical health, sometimes it's about eating a pastry while enjoying the rain. Take a break from your hectic schedule.

Dark academia is not about being a rude jerk in the name of being mysterious, be kind be helpful. Make friends, you can't carpe diem without someone to remember that you did it.

Dark academia is not about reading old white men, and placing them on a pedestal. Sometimes, its about reading them and analyzing them and then reading point of views of other bi-poc writers. Trust me, you'll be amazed of Persian, Arabic and generally south Asian dark academia.

Dark academia is not about exclusion. It's about education! Learn, read and go down that rabbit hole of research! Then go and share what you've learned with your friends! Bi-poc and queer people, people of various religions have always belonged in academia and they always will. Vintage aesthetics not values,always remember.
