The world of academia is considered highly male centric despite that the aesthetic seems to be dominated by young queer women. I am not a fan of Donna Tartt so I have collected alternatives from my own collection of books and a few from friends and family. Some of the books may not be exactly “dark academia” or a set academic aesthetic but they all address female experiences and are academically acclaimed.
it’s just fucking SICK how white men can show up to public buildings with guns and police just stand and stare ... white women will scream at minorities and protest for their rights to get haircuts and police won’t do anything ... but say that black people should be treated like people and fucking tear gas and rubber bullets come out. when people say black lives matter, it’s a reminder because police keep acting like black lives are meaningless. every fucking day.
This deserves to be seen by everybody

I've been shadow banned for posting and supporting BLM, :) - someone who tumbler fucking hates would have replied to your post but Tumblr has taken away my right to do that including sending messages, receiving them, or even looking at past messages, or accessing group chats and my account no longer shows up in search feeds,
im not surprised that this is still happening.
❗️ please go onto twitter. that’s where we are and we’ll welcome you with open arms
do not want to articulate anything!! want only to walk barefoot in a sunlit courtyard with an overripe nectarine in one hand and a deeply battered paperback in the other !
desi dark academia set in south india

dark academia in brown
SIGNAL BOOST: There is currently a political protest against the government’s corruption going on in the capital of Serbia after they lied about COVID infection rate to host an election
Police are using brutality and only reports on it are coming from the American funded sources and meme pages. Reporters are reporting live while dodging tear gas being tossed at them. Random standbyers are being beaten up by the police for no reason.

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.
Chaotic academia is ignoring the deadline and just thinking "these essays get submitted when they get submitted"
A SHADE TOO DARK
They say the way through is the way out.
They don't want us to weigh in--just to stay out.
A closed mouth is a silent shout,
But the people can't hear us when we shut our mouths.
If you speak up it's too loud,
Too black and too proud.
Just a shade too dark.
But there's a remedy for that,
Another bullet in a black back.
Souls turned desolate
Another bully lackin' black tact
Black man--white cop.
Gun cocked
pop, pop
Two shots
No thoughts
Un-armed, life lost
Cheeks turn
Hate costs.
Just a shade to dark.
Red handed as the blood spills.
Black bodies turned to buzz kills.
If the people don't acquit 'em you know the judge will.
And you try to tell me times ain't what they was still?
Just another ni**a in a white world.
They tryin' to wipe our history--white whirl.
Dismantling families killing off the "villain".
An infection to them "white folk" and them bullets penicillin.
Mass incarceration and gentrification too,
The wounds from the hatred have pierced us to the roots.
They try to call us thugs and force us from the roost,
But all lives will matter when the black ones finally do.
I guess we're just a shade too dark.
