The Room That Doesn't Exist

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

You attract what you are and you create what you think about. Act like the person you want to become. Think like the person you want to become. Nothing changes in your life unless you make the decision and commitment to change it. Hold an image in your mind of how you wish to see yourself living. Visualize it everyday and you will unconsciously start to do things that will move you towards that goal.

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda under the cut:

Horace Propaganda:

Odes 1.37 had a huge impact on me as a baby undergrad... It's so fucking beautiful

Brings some Hellenistic flair to the uniquely Roman satire, and his Satires are funny as hell

Incorporates Epicureanism so beautifully into his poetry, and his easy style reflects this really well I think

Propertius Propaganda

If you like obscure references and intertexts, this is the author for you

Of all the puellae doctae, Cynthia is the doctissima

You really can't overstate the influence of his 'logopoeia,' seen most famously in Ezra Pound

#calling for a propertius sweep #no hate to horace but he really is my least favorite augustan poet

[girlcatullus]

oh to be in the national library and watch the rain gently fall outside as you work on your thesis

#great place. if only they had more books i needed lmao

Realistically I could never get rid of tumblr because it gives me the illusion of a community of strange young women all around my same age, all slowly figuring out how to live too
