this weekend is a writing-heavy one: tackling essays, both academic and personal

midnight musings

[galina]

‘[What] if history has nothing more to teach us than that all the shapes of the spiritual world, all the conditions of life, ideals, norms upon which man relies, form and dissolve themselves like fleeting waves, that it always was and ever will be so, that again and again reason must turn into nonsense, and well-being into misery? Can we console ourselves with that? Can we live in this world, where historical occurrence is nothing but an unending concatenation of illusory progress and bitter disappointment?’

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)

update from yesterday: research is done, my cigarettes are gone and now all that’s left is actually finishing the paper Listening to: Falco - Out of the Dark

T-minus 27 days until I take the mcat and the last minute energy is real. I’m planning to take another practice test tomorrow and hopefully I will see some improvement.

hi all, palestine’s going through a mass genocide right now and really needs help, here are a few ways you can do that

palestine children’s relief fund: provide urgent humanitarian care for children in gaza

anera: provide on-the-ground emergency relief

medical aid for palestinians: emergency relief for women and children, psychosocial support, disability help, other medical needs

doctors without borders: medical teams on the ground treating injured palestinians as needed

feel free to add on in the notes, notify me if any of the fundraisers listed arent necessary/actually helpful to donate to, and let me know if anything needs added on/modified

as always, if you cant donate then please share and spread awareness

UPDATE: this post has been edited to remove an organization by the UN (details in reblog by @petite-elf )

UPDATE: companies to boycott have been added due to the direct harm they cause towards palestinians (c. @/sleepallsummer, letstalkpalestine on instagram)

Caterpillar: Caterpillar bulldozers are regularly used in the demolition of Palestinian homes and farms and in Israel’s massacres in Gaza

HP: Hewlett Packard helps run the ID system that Israel uses to restrict Palestinian movement

Puma: Puma sponsors the Israel Football Association, which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

SodaStream: SodaStream home drinks machines are one of Israel’s best known exports.

Ahava: Ahava cosmetics are another of Israel’s best known export companies.

Sabra: Sabra hummus is a joint venture between PepsiCo and the Strauss Group, an Israeli food company that provides financial support to the Israel Defense Forces.

Motorola: Provides Israeli military, police, prisons and immigration authority with communication technology

definitely one of the nicest bookstores i’ve visited so far. also treated myself to a cinnamon bun and some downtime to re-read ‘a man called ove’ (big tip!)

i’ve applied to an advanced master programme and had to do an assessment test, which i thought i completely failed. but they invited me to a meeting so…who knows?!

thursday, 12:31 pm have my last and most important exam on russian literature tomorrow and I’m scared to death to be honest. suffering from “hermione granger syndrome” and working my ass off just to get an excellent mark and approval has been very hard for me throughout the 16 years of studying. well, at least I’m aware of the problem :)
