Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.

Theres no secret to most art. You just have to do it a lot

I know others have said this, but if you love a series, BUY THE BOOKS AS THEY COME OUT. You can go on a reading spree later, but for the love of god, buy the books now.

Adding “lol” to the end of my alarming messages and posts so friends know I’m doing good actually

So sorry for your loss. Such a gorgeous boy.💔

small victories are still victories!
be proud of that hour!!!

read a book for an hour straight. I have defeated attention deficit disorder, he types into his phone, his attention having been disrupted

Is this my sign to finally read this book after it sitting on my TBR for over a year??

Had a dream last night that I finished writing my term paper for my History course…

Waking up to discover that I’m still nowhere close to being finished was nothing short of DEVASTATING.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

Hey,

Tell your cat I said pspspsps

This!!
The only way I have managed to feel comfortable posting my creative works has been by doing it anonymously. Even then, once I’ve gained any significant following on those accounts, I began to feel self-conscious about every single thing I posted. It felt performative at that point.

I think my favorite thing about being in school (again) is having access to libraries and JSTOR and all manner of amazing resources.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten from a Prof was that oftentimes thought follows writing rather than writing following thought.

If you’re stuck, just write. Write absolutely anything. Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc…

Just write.

I can’t even decide on essay titles for my uni classes so I can’t even imagine the pressure of choosing a title for a novel!!

Out of the books I’ve read this year, I would have to say “Piranesi” by Susanna Clarke.

As for an all-time favourite, I feel like I change my mind too frequently to give a definitive answer. However, “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak will likely always be in my top 5.

Thermal socks bring me great joy

I know there are bigger issues to focus on, and I haven’t lost sight of them…

But can movies/TV figure out sound so one volume works the whole time? Why is the dialogue a whisper, but a passing car sounds like it just drove through my wall?

Rant over 😑

As an ADHDer, I’m not sure why I thought I was capable of doing a 20 day “Book a day” posting challenge—I literally can’t even remember to take my Vyvanse everyday…

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — there to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read again until there's nothing left but the best kind of memories

Came here to say the same thing!! I’ve read many books that are just objectively bad and for some reason I end up loving them anyways!

Day 2:

CHOICE is key to becoming a reader. When kids are given a wide range of books to choose from, and are allowed to choose freely - THEY READ! I don’t believe in “reluctant readers” - just readers who haven’t yet found the right books for them. So it’s our job to help them find those books! #literacy

The cover of the novel entitled, “The Book Theif” by Markus Zusak. The cover depicts a finger about to push down the first domino in a line of dominos.

Day 1:

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
