THE 1975 | SINCERITY IS SCARY

People who like rocks see cool rocks everywhere. People who like birds see interesting birds everywhere. The tree on your yard could be an exceptional specimen. The world around you could be amazing and magical, but you aren’t enough of a nerd to see it.

I gave my mum Alexandra Horowitz’s On Looking: Eleven Walks Through Expert Eyes for her birthday this year, it’s a book that revolves around this idea: the author invites 11 specialists in different things to walk around a boring city block with her one after the other so they can point out to her the things they see, that she doesn’t notice. There’s an expert in typography talking about what the variety of fonts on urban signs can tell you about the city’s history, an entomologist pointing out all the urban insects no one pays attention to, a geologist, a sound engineer…

a list of untradtional study tips

buy new/pretty stationery; i love buying new pens and notebooks so much that i’ll easily get through re-writing notes i had been putting off

create a few study playlists; since instrumental/classical music helps improve brain functioning, have a selection of ones you like, but also add in the odd soft lyrical song. take a break every time a song with lyrics comes on and work during the instrumentals. it should be in a 5:1 ratio (instrumental:lyrical) that way you will work for 20-30 minutes with a 5 min break 

make your study space smell good; light a candle, or a smell that you enjoy, try to use the same scent every time to trigger memory recollection. mint and vanilla are my favs!

write down how much time you spend studying for a test and then the grade you got; then you can figure out how time you really need to spend to get a good grade. this will help you use your time more effectively

read over your notes before you sleep; this allows for neuron to be killed and myelin pathways to be made! which means learning and understanding, yay!

get done up; you don’t always need to study in comfy clothes, putting on makeup and a nice outfit can put you into a ‘let’s get shit done’ mood

make you notes pretty; it’s more visually interesting to study and can me more fun to write and make, which helps you learn while you write them!

الحياة قصيرة فلا تقصِّرها بالهم والغم والحزن، فكن صاحب قلب يتنفس الرضا والقناعة قدر استطاعتك. - العلامة السعدي رحمه الله

Life is short, so don’t shorten it any further with worry, grief and sadness, be one who breathes satisfaction and contentment as much as you can. - Sheikh ‘Abdurrahman As-Sa’adi may Allah have mercy on him

I know there’s the whole thing about killing a character off to show the injustice of the world or whatever, and yes you probably should avoid a twilight and genuinely kill at least one of your main or secondary characters (not just a random one which you threw in just so you can kill them)

But you don’t have to kill a character to kill them

You could break them completely, strip away everything they know and force them to become a different person, essentially killing who they were before. Even just with gradual character development you could eradicate the character that was first introduced.

You could take away their will to live, have them screaming for death, and deny them the right to die.

Have the hero become the villain. The villain become the hero.

Have the likeable become the hated.

Make your readers wish the character had died.

What Is Said To The Sick

“Whosoever visits an ailing person or a brother of his to seek the Pleasure of Allāh, an announcer (angel) calls out:

‘May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you be awarded a dignified position in Paradise.’”*

The ahādīth in this are many.

It is recommended when the Muslim visits a sick person to put him at ease, to lighten the affair for him and remind him of the reward from Allāh and that sickness is expiation and purification for him.

I find these carrels with views over Bloomsbury completely irresistible. I had a really productive morning here looking through philosophy periodicals (and daydreaming about living in those terraces)

One million chinese muslims in camps

This is insane. We wonder how people across the world let Hitler come so far, yet we are exact those people.
