Access To Safe Abortion Is A Woman’s Right.

dark academia is just when the lightbulbs in the library haven’t been replaced in nine years

For the sake of updating this?? I did. A postage stamp with a peach on it :) Postage stamp because of the postcards, peach for obvious reasons, little 11¢, and then put it on my ribs... Most English major thing I've ever done ngl

And if I get a peach tattoo because Jeans pure happiness at having a peach (and him hiding it for later) brought me to tears, then what??

I got four marks back from profs today and all of them were above 90%. Maybe wearing tweed blazars while studying works. 

Thinking about how Jeremy said something about people getting tired of the Trojans and never getting a red card and how people want the drama. Also how many posts I see about someone (jean, Jeremy, Cat, Lucas, etc) being the one to get the first red card...something something parallels...something something connections...

Do you like the color of tumblr mobile?

Which one?

19th century books will kill off a main character in one sentence and then spend 3 pages describing a street

the dead poets society fandom is so fun. like one popular post will be an in depth analysis of a scene or quote with great meaning from the movie and another will be ✨dead poets boys as crocs✨

ok but one thing i love about goncharov is the ironic subversion of themes. like we have katya, the madonna-like character whose white palette screams of loyalty and purity, while andrey is the judas-like character whose motifs are the dagger and the poisoned cup.

but at the end, it’s katya who draws a gun on goncharov, and andrey who’s left holding his bleeding body in his arms. by having the “loyal wife” be the backstabber and the “doublecrosser” be the broken-hearted lover, scorsese subverts both biblical imagery and gender roles, and he does it in such a subtle and poetic way too, without taking away the complexity of either character. 

Suggestions on how to celebrate your own birthday

eat chocolates and truffles for breakfast

wear that one perfume that’s too decadent, too extravagant for daytime - wear as much of it as you want

pick a volume of poetry. how old are you turning? read as many poems and consider what you can learn from them for the next year - not necessarily regarding morals and deeper meaning. take in the grace and beauty of the words, enjoy their melody

at night, turn off the lights and dance with your moonlit shadow

scatter roses in your own path

enjoy the selfless hedonism of your childhood - play, read, dance and dream wholeheartedly

look at art - in a museum, ideally, but books etc will work as well. recognise yourself in a gesture, a nose, a thought expressed in an arrangement of fruit. recognise that just like those pieces of art depict humans and were made by humans, you are art.

look at your own reflection. fall in love a little.

write down how you’d like to be 12 months from now. be specific, visualise your ideal self. reread those visions once a month.

wear your favourite lipstick. kiss your own wrist. (a lover’s token, a promise)

take every step with grace, feel roses woven in your hair and gold dripping from your fingertips

indulge in sensual luxuries

write a love letter to yourself, to be opened on your next birthday

even if you don’t have the time or the means for grand gestures - treat every little thing you do today as a gift to yourself.

feel the centre of your universe shift, ever so slightly, until the sun rises for you.
