More tidbits I’ve found while researching

tumblr has a sad-boner for the burning of the library of alexandria

which was not actually one burning but several

and while the Library of Alexandria was an immense historical and national treasure, a lot of ppl tend to forget about the other book and library burnings that occurred in antiquity

Places like the library of Nalanda, in India, which contained an elaborate classification system to hold what was then seen as the largest collection of Buddhist literature

and the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, which contained Greek and Arabic works on mathematics and astronomy to zoology and cartography

and more recently, the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (no, that does not mean sexual witchcraft) which was burned by the Nazis b/c the majority of tomes dealt with same sex relationships and gay rights and acceptance. 

and omg, this makes me so mad. The Libraries of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada has all its collection thrown away in an attempt to save taxpayer money and on the hope that all of its material was digitized. Only 5 to 6% was.

and the Saeh library in Lebanon, which was burnt b/c of terrorism.

Book burnings are happening right now, y'all.

Not to mention how the Spanish systematically destroyed the entire literary output of whole societies in Mesoamerica, to the point where we only have a handful of their codices today

We should talk, too, about the heroism of those trying to save books from violence, not least because the deliberate destruction of cultural artifacts is evidence of genocide. A few libraries not mentioned above:

The National Library of Bosnia, located in Sarajevo, which was destroyed in August of 1992 by Serb forces. It was targeted with incendiary shells, and over a million books testifying to Bosnia’s multicultural history were lost in the resulting fire. Aida Buturović, a young librarian, was killed by sniper fire while trying to carry books from the burning building. The Oriental Institute, housing the majority of Sarajevo’s Islamic manuscripts, was destroyed that May, but it wasn’t the first library burnt in Sarajevo: during World War II, the Nazis decimated the collection of La Benevolencija, one of the oldest Jewish organizations in the city.

The Ahmed Baba Institute in Timbuktu, which was burned in January 2013 by Tuareg rebel forces fleeing the city, who had been using the library as a barracks. The fire destroyed 4,000 manuscripts - but Abdel Kader Haïdara, a librarian, saved 400,000 more from libraries all over the city by smuggling them out in the preceding months. He had help, and the ‘book rustlers’ of Mali - who risked their lives to do it - saved 800 years of West African history.

And let us not forget Alia Muhammad Baker, the head librarian of Al Basrah Central Library, who risked her life to save the books when no one else in the Iraqi government gave a damn.  By the time the invading US and UK forces had blown the building, she and her book-smuggling-food-service-cadre had taken almost ¾ of the books over the seven foot perimeter fence and into a nearby restaurant.  Except, of course, for the books about Saddam Hussein.  Those, they left.

“In the Koran, the first thing God said to Muhammad was ‘Read,’ ” she said.

[cheekbonered]

the other night i tried to make a curry and i got chilli burns all over my face, so i thought to myself ‘hang on, doesn’t milk soothe chilli burns? it does’ and i couldn’t google because i couldn’t see so i just had to blindly feel my way to the fridge and pour out a bowl of milk, and then plant my face in the bowl of milk, anyway at that point the rice cooker went off and triggered a power surge which turned my electricity off, which i didn’t notice at first because i had my face in a bowl of milk and when i did emerge from the dairy prison i thought i had gone blind with chilli burns. so no i don’t really cook much.

Top 20 Art Hoe Closet Basics

So I was asked by a lovely anon to make a list of the top 20 pieces an art hoe might have in their closet ~

I based this on what I’ve seen a lot of on the tumblr tag as well as what I personally like to wear!

1. Circle Shades

I see these everywhere and I think they’re so cute! My best friend has a pair that she wears all the time <3

lucyfromtheskyxx looks absolutely adorable in hers: x

2. High Waisted Jean Shorts

Bonus points if they’re patched, painted, patterned, or embroidered!

jaseyb looks like a goddess in hers!! x

3. Black & White Striped Top

The black & white striped top is a pretty big staple I think, whether it’s a crop, tank, tee, ect ~

cactusforce looks so cute in her stripey tee tbh x

4. Red & White Striped Top

Sort of an alternate of the black & white, I haven’t seen this as much but it’s still very cute!

vegangodess shows us how it’s done: x

5. Art Socks

Art socks are one of my favorite staples, I have a pair of knee high starry night ones that I just adore <3

peachyfro‘s art socks are amazing!! x

6. Overalls

I think they look especially cute with one strap undone!

sighingbud looks so cute in hers omg: x

7. Floral Buttondown

Buttoned, unbuttoned, or tied around your waist <3

picassoplants looks v v nice in hers!! x

8. Kanken Backpack

Usually in yellow, green, blue, or red ~

9. Black Crop Top

This isn’t a specifically “art hoe” piece, but I’ve seen it a lot paired with high waisted shorts and mom jeans

witchbetterhavemymonet looks like a goddess in hers!! x

10. Doc Martens

You mostly see the original black pairs, but I think the floral ones are nice too <3

11. Jean Jacket

Bonus points for cute pins!!

daniliion pulls it off so well and her whole aesthetic is honestly great: x

12. Choker Necklace

The black squiggly ones are most common, and the ones with yin-yang signs

otterprints daisy choker is causing me major choker envy tbh: x

13. Mustard Yellow SOMETHING

Sweaters, crop tops, shirts, skirts – as long as it’s mustard yellow, you’re “gold” <3

skatewitch4lyfe looks like she was born to wear this color omg <3 x

14. Cobalt Blue SOMETHING

Just like with mustard yellow, cobalt blue is a really important color! Wear it on anything ~

honey-vanhoe‘s blue tank top is the cutest!! x

15. Grid-Print SOMETHING

Bonus points for a matching top and bottom set! <333

sexy-avocado-party looks like art in hers: x

16. Mom Jeans

I’ve heard that you can usually thrift these, and they’re super comfy?! I’m still on the lookout for a pair

hellobowlme‘s mom jeans are on point: x

17. Quirky Baseball Cap

Usually forwards, sometimes backwards, always cute <3

18. Oversized Artsy Graphic Shirt

The bigger the better! Bonus points for tucking it into your high waisted shorts/jeans and rolling up the sleeves!!

coqnac‘s is A+++ x

19. Converse

I mostly see white converse, and some black as well ~

distortxd paired hers with art socks!! x

20. Huge Cardigan

Again, the bigger the better! Wear them all the time with anything <3

idiot4art has such a cool cardigan: x

So that’s my top 20!! Like I said it’s based mostly on what I’ve seen and worn, everyone’s unique and everyone’s got their own idea of what the “art hoe” style is ~
