I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings @pointlessrantsofinsanity - Tumblr Blog

I logged in bc I'm on a random Harry Potter deep dive for funsies after starting to play Hogwarts Mystery again (lmao), so here's an update for record keeping.

I got my PhD a few months ago (!!! FINALLY), so ya girl's now a doctor and inching into the last year of her 20s.

I have no plans for the future for the first time in my life but my mental health is the best it's been in some time and I'm trying to take a second to just chill, hoping the future will treat me well!

Got an email from Tumblr saying this blog turned 9 years yesterday. In commemoration, here’s an update: things are going well for me. I passed my qualifying exam for my PhD, so the week before last I went from PhD student to PhD candidate. Now I just have to do all the work to write a dissertation and get my degree. Other life things are also good! All in all, I’m feeling pretty grateful for everything.

龚贤 - 金碧山水

by Gong Xian (Qing dynasty)

*There’s a special style in Chinese landscape painting called 青绿山水Qinglu shanshui which uses mineral dyes to complete the artwork. Those artworks have major green and blue colors. During Song Dynasty, artists and scholars added 泥金 (made of glue and powdered gold or other metals) to the dyeing materials. These landscape paintings are 金碧山水 Jinbi shanshui.
