Feeling loved, or, my sister, in the span of one minute, after I’ve told her I’ve booked train tickets to come see her:

#i genuinely feel the love #also I saw her like a month ago which almost makes this more precious #questwithambition #rambles

forever in awe of people who pay attention. people who wait for you while you tie your shoes while the others have walked away. when they continue listening intently while the rest of the group stopped listening. noticing your moments of silence when everyone else hasn’t. “this made me think of you” noticing things you never even noticed about yourself. people who say “text me when you get home safe.” people who make you laugh until you cry. childhood friends who keep in touch. people with genuine intentions. people who are soft when the world has given them every opportunity to turn hard. the “let’s get ice cream” at 3am friend. the turn up the music in the car and sing friend. people whose actions match their words. people who make the world feel less chaotic. kindred spirits. the trustworthy and honest. hard workers. good listeners. clear communicators. people who love you for who you are. people who don’t ask you to be anything other than yourself. people who choose you. people who stay.

#i have a massive soft spot for robins #started when I was a kid and I learnt they stayed in winter and I was like they’re so cool!!! they’re fighters #and the way they fly brings me so much joy #whenever I spot one I’m so happy

Saw the sun rise. A lovely apricot sky with flames in it and then a solemn pink. Heavens, how beautiful! I feel so full of love today after having seen the sun rise.

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

"i wish i could exfoliate my brain" you can. by reading things that challenge you.

#note on this: things that make you sad aren’t intrinsically challenging #suffering is not glory #(yes I am referring to a certain book) #but yes!!!! #search new things #different viewpoints #think about them

now that i am a real adult i am starting to realise. media lied to me about the availability of rooftops to go hang out on. every day i wish i could be hanging out on a rooftop somewhere looking cool as fuck

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.
