Too Busy Daydreaming About Curling Up With A Book To Curl Up With A Book

Hello! 

I have created The Dark Room Collective for POC’s to come together to make bonds and to collaborate on books, poems, and more! 

Once a month we will have discussion about that book of the month, with have biweekly poems/short stories/plays to talk about also. Members of the collective are encouraged to give suggestions and vote on polls; that will have 3-5 books to vote from. 

How do I join? 

Please message me! I will send the link through private message.

Reminder

I know we all have lives as do I, but try to stay active in the chat. We don’t want a dead server or the server going to sh*t. 

REBLOG! 

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

Posting on Tumblr is like talking to your cat. You don’t know if they are listening, and you don’t know if they care, but for some reason, it still helps.

Hey warning to all you chaotic academia peeps: the point of chaotic academia is that there’s no right way to do it. If you’re academic and you’re not pretentious, congrats. You can be a chaotic academic. But this whole “more of a disaster than you” and “flexing unhealthy habits and achievements” is just the same bullshit under a different name. You’re not superior for being academic. Check your ego at the door, please.

Academia style but make it inclusive 🦇✨🥀

I want to be politically informed and educated but I also wanna have a good day and be in a good mood. Do you see my problem?
