i think we who live outside the us need to sometimes remember that learning about us history of racism and what is currently happening in that country doesn’t actually help us to dismantle racism in our own communities. we need to listen to people who face racism right here where we are, we need to give platform for immigrants, refugees and people from different ethnic backgrounds to speak up. the discussion about racism can’t be centred around the us and be spoken solely in English when no party involved is american or english speaking. there’s so many europeans who will speak so compassionately of black americans (=people they never have to interact with) and will show no empathy for Somalian refugees for example. we can’t just “self improve” out of racism by listening to americans and call it a day.

My week was spent on crying over biophysics, trying to make life changing decisions, and playing with my dog, overall a normal week.

dark academia / holidays

• waking up to a snowy morning, getting a gingerbread coffee & staying in your soft, warm bed for a little while to journal — black ink flowing on cream paper, forming beautiful cursive

• taking a walk in the fresh winter air, admiring the beauty of the landscape & wrapping your long, woollen coat around you better to keep you warm

• packaging your last gifts to your family in beautiful brown paper & adding little spruce twigs that you picked up on your walk earlier to decorate your presents

• listening to classical or traditional music as you write holiday letters to your friends & family, telling each person in your life why you love them & what good tidings you wish for them in the upcoming year

• carefully applying your best deep red lipstick & tying a velvet ribbon into your hair — then getting your favourite festive book from the library to recite passages to your family

• enjoying a delicious meal around a beautifully set table, drinking red wine out of crystal glasses & admiring the polished silver cutlery so often forgotten in the cupboards

• everyone’s gold & silver jewellery shining in candlelight as you discuss & debate, all sitting comfortably in the living room — parents on the old sofa, children on the slightly worn out persian rug

• playing board games with your family, eating chocolates, drinking mulled wine & showing off your general knowledge in a trivia game

• opening your presents to find all the books you were hoping to get & immediately curling up by the fireside to flip through all of them

• going to bed late but content, surrounded by the warm atmosphere of your fairy lights, a puffy duvet & the feeling of loving & being loved

note! i realise the holiday time is not a happy one for many. if you’re someone who struggles with whatever aspect of the festive season, i wish you strength to carry you through the difficult times. i’m here for anyone that wants to talk, even on christmas day.

p.s. obviously a lot of people are not celebrating christmas/hanukkah/other holidays in winter & many countries closer to the equator also don’t have a cold weather in december. i still thought i’d write out this little fantasy – we don’t have snow either this year even though we normally should!

2.14.21 There’s no feeling that’s more inspiring for a pre-vet student than arriving to class, being handed a stethoscope and a week old lamb, and then learning how to determine the sex, take TPR, and ear tag. The first week of classes was a thrill that ended with a trip to a korean dessert spot for my birthday! After all the excitement, I feel ready to buckle down and jump into the hard work of the new semester.

I woke up early today to a white Istanbul and I’ve finished reading Wuthering Heights. It was my first time reading it in English so it felt like I read it for the first time. It took me a bit longer to read it than usual since I wasn’t familiar with some words and old phrases. Also, an old photo from Amsterdam, I truly want to visit there once again.

i hope the younger lgbt+ youth (12-16) on here knows that it’s okay to play with identities. it’s okay to try out a label for a month, decided it’s not for you, and then pick up another one. you aren’t “betraying your community”, you’re figuring yourself out at an age that- you know- you figure yourself out in! do what works for you. if you don’t like labels, ditch them! if a label resonates with you deeply, try playing around with it! it’s normal. don’t be afraid.

i can not and i mean i can not stress this enough… make a bibliography as you do your research. i mean, make a fully formed, correctly cited bibliography as you work. just do it. i know i know you’re being lazy or you hate making citations or you’ll just get to it later or you don’t want to get distracted etc etc etc

whatever your reasons just make the fuckin bibliography

and while im at it… put the footnotes in properly as you are writing. just… do it. for future you. please. for your sanity. do it.

25.01.2020 // in two weeks my finals start and i really don't want to think about that. i'm scared about my oral exam in spanish. the lockdown seems with every day more difficult. day after day is the same and i miss a lot of people.

05.11.20 / working on my russian cursive today. i actually never learned cursive when i picked up cyrillic the first time. if anyone could give me feedback on my handwriting, i’d greatly appreciate it!! hope your thursday is going well so far. the week is almost over. hang in there ♡

[horreurscopes]

my fave thing about being alive is that there is nothing that cannot be learned. tapestry weaving, astrophysics, swimming. music, theremin, singing. cutting your own hair, dancing, quantum mathematics. sewing, philosophy, social skills. knowledge is divine, but sharing it is human !!!

first week at the new apartment has been interesting and a little intense, but the absolutely incredible direct sunlight and the wooden floors are easing the transition. i even managed to get some work done for my digital humanities course, despite not touching any uni work in almost a month.
