I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?

— Vincent van Gogh

I don’t know man :/ i think I’m just tired of being me

But how could you live and have no story to tell?

~Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

A new year must be a different year, and if the old one has kept us apart, perhaps the new year, with miraculous forces, will throw us together. Throw, throw, New Year!

Franz Kafka, 1912.

"defend your thesis" why are you attacking my thesis

ON PURPOSE, I'M GOING TO LOVE YOU ON PURPOSE

Jenny Slate // Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue // Pleiades, Anne Carson // Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo // @oriley42 and @earth167 (and a half) on Tumblr // Jodi Picoult from The Book Of Two Ways // The Night Vale, Episode 100, The Toast // Adam Melchor, I Choose You // Kierston White, The Chaos of Stars

How selfless of you to carry the blame; how brutally divine of you to not let it fall onto someone else

Bookstores always remind me that there are good things in this world.

All I want for Christmas is more Adrian Ivashkov art

Adrian: Bad things keep happening to me, like I have bad luck or something.

Christian: You don't have bad luck. The reason bad things happen to you is because you're a dumbass.

Dimitri Belikov's impact on the women in these books needs to be studied. I thought it was just Rose's infatuation with the man she loves, but Sydney is also incapable of being around him without bringing up how hot, sexy, and charming he is. Kirova was also all up in his shit over the vests in "Hello, my name is Rose Hathaway". Then I remember how Tasha literally framed Rose for murder to get her out of the way for the chance at him. Like he breaths and someone turns into a slip n slide it's amazing.

That reminds me of that one infuriating post that was like “if you don’t understand an academic paper, it probably means it was poorly written”…. Besties, romans, countrymen, if you don’t understand an academic paper it’s probably because it was written for a handful of experts in the very specific subfield for which it is relevant, and as someone who is almost certainly NOT one of those handful of experts it’s not in your realm of immediate comprehension. In many (most? all?) fields if you take even one step to the left of your scope of research you’re going to end up spending a lot of time catching up on context. Shockingly, this is because there’s a lot of information out there in the world, and you don’t know all of it. That doesn’t make you stupid, or the author stupid. No one has to be stupid in this scenario. This is a process called learning, just chill on it

New statue of Aphrodite discovered in Turkey. People thought it was originally meant for a nymph. It was found this year around February. Greek art is so beautiful.

I find it really admirable how detailed Greek art is and how they can last this long in such beautiful condition. I hope one day, if it wasn't burnt like some theories say it was, the real Athena Parthenos is found. Just to see something that old in beautiful condition would be amazing.
