Hi I'm Indy I'm A New Follower I Plan On Going In To Computer Science! Any Advice ?

By: like-fairy-tales

i’ve been saying this to myself this morning and i’m going to say it to you in case you need to hear it: you are not here to be physically attractive. that is not your purpose. you are here to learn new things and be kind to people and listen to your favorite music and pet cute dogs and read big books and drink good coffee. you are here to see beauty in the world and create it when you can’t find any. you are not here to impress people with how you look.

You should be outraged. You should be enraged and if you are not, if the senseless killing of the black community at the hands of our police force does not anger you please reevaluate your humanity.

To be unmoved by the current issues of our society is a privilege. To prioritize looting and damage to property over lost black lives and police brutality is to lack humanity.

Please evaluate and educate yourself, this is a major issue and we need serious reform and revolution in this country.

You can’t love the Romantics and academia and remain ignorant and complacent.

hello there! i’m a new writeblr joining the community and even though it’s a bit nerve-racking, the whole point of this blog is to push myself, so here goes.

my name is ayla, i’m 21, queer and a creative writing student in london. i typically write ya/na fantasy and romance and i have way too many active projects at the moment. my mother tongue is german so i grew up writing lots in german but when i was about 14 i really fell in love with the english language and i have always written in english since.

i have a habit of procrastinating and not writing when i actually should be. i really want to use this blog to write more, ideally daily, even if it’s just some ramblings about my day. i also want to attempt nanowrimo for the first time ever this year and want to write about my experience and progress. i want to be able to come back to this blog in the future and see how much i’ve grown as a writer and to share my journey.

i will post mainly my writing, moodboards, inspiration and hopefully the odd bit of writing advice (although i’m not sure i feel qualified to give out advice just yet).

i don’t have many writer friends so i’d love to get to know new people! if you’re another writeblr, reblog this and i’ll follow you! i follow from my personal blog @chamilsanya. thanks!

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 !

Tianna Arata is a black woman who is about to face 15 years. She currently has eight charged against her including multiple felonies, all because she organized a peaceful protest. A FUCKING PROTEST. She’s an active activist using her 1st amendment to speak on systematic racism and other important issues. Please reblog and check out the linktree below with links for the petition, go fund me for legal matters, etc https://linktr.ee/freetiana

Dark academia is not about buying expensive books or sweaters or aesthetic props, sometimes its about illegally downloading a book you're dying to read, reading it and then showing a friend how to do the same.

Dark academia is not drinking 3 cups of coffee screwing up your mental and physical health, sometimes it's about eating a pastry while enjoying the rain. Take a break from your hectic schedule.

Dark academia is not about being a rude jerk in the name of being mysterious, be kind be helpful. Make friends, you can't carpe diem without someone to remember that you did it.

Dark academia is not about reading old white men, and placing them on a pedestal. Sometimes, its about reading them and analyzing them and then reading point of views of other bi-poc writers. Trust me, you'll be amazed of Persian, Arabic and generally south Asian dark academia.

Dark academia is not about exclusion. It's about education! Learn, read and go down that rabbit hole of research! Then go and share what you've learned with your friends! Bi-poc and queer people, people of various religions have always belonged in academia and they always will. Vintage aesthetics not values,always remember.

Feel free to add more!

New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

Dark academia things that my classmates accidentally do:

Circling in our class talking about the end of the world, politics, and murders

Accidentally having a competition on knowledge but still helps each other up

Staying up late doing our homework because what the fuck is sleeping anyway?

Wearing jackets or coats or blazer even when the weather is hot

Tried to kill each other on some occasions

And no, it’s not an international or a boarding school, just a local high school.
