"Hey so it turns out that the people of earth accidentally did a global experiment to see if every individual could course correct climate change through mass personal change of habits, and it turns out, no! We can't! It was massive corporate activity all along!"
Dark academia things you should NOT strive for:
Caffeine addictions. this shit ain't cute, learn better ways to manage you sleep and energy.
Workaholic culture, working hard is great but not in exsess
Romanticizing mental illness, you are just as valuable and talented healthy, happy. don't convince yourself otherwise
Elitism, you aren't better than other ppl for being more educated if your not polite.
Eurocentric: Dark. Academia. is. Not. Just. For .White. Skinny. People. In. Blazers.
Neurotypical lifestyle and studying patterns. If you can't do things the way neurotypicals do then don't force yourself. I tried to force myself to tale notes and memorise things the way is been taught in high school rather than what was best for me.
The Fall of Icarus, Jacob Peter Gowy, 1635-37
wlw in academia reblog if you agree
one of the best heartwarming scenes between Zuko and Iroh. The fact that Zuko is truly repentant and Iroh is unconditionally forgiving despite everything he’s endured. And of course, they can make you cry one moment and laugh in the next.
let me be tired
The Secret Book Club, where we read a monthly classic, discuss, and try to summon Dionysus! Okay, maybe no Dionysus but the book part is still a go.
How does it work?
We will meet and discuss on a Discord server. Every month I will make a poll for the book we read, three to five options that members may vote on! Members are welcome to make suggestions to add to the poll but only things in the vain of classic and academic literature will be added. We also do biweekly discussions for short stories and poems, along with a monthly dark academia inspired movie night!
How do I join?
There are only three things you need to do in order to join The Secret Book Club:
Make sure you’re following me @dcrkacademia!
Reblog this post to spread the word (we don’t want a dead club, do we?)
Message me after you’ve done so for the link!
Anything else?
Please only join if you plan to be active and to participate! Otherwise, what’s the point? This isn’t a chat room, although we do chat, it is a book club. Don’t join if you don’t plan to read with us! The only compulsory activity in TSBC is the monthly classic. Lastly, and hopefully obviously, drama will not be tolerated. A good rule of thumb: don’t be an asshole.
Next book: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
