The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

[museeeuuuum]

romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

The thing about wanting to write smart essays is you truly do have to read books to do that, and the thing about reading books is that it is way harder now that I am not 17 and smartphoneless

I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest and relax instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest and relax instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest and relax instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest and relax instead of writing, I will not feel guilty for taking time to rest instead of writing, I will not

thinking about fleetwood mac and how they actually sang songs about each other. and performed them. about how much they loved or hated each other like what the fuck how

I mean can you imagine. singing about how somebody broke your heart and they're literally harmonizing. they're right fucking there. they're in touching distance. insanity! complete insanity! I would either break down crying or fully snap and break their neck

fucking. silver springs!!! 'you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you!' no fucking kidding he won't stevie he's literally behind you playing the drums! absolute madlads

LONDON FRIENDS!

I have a favour to ask.

In my research for an upcoming video I have hit a slight roadblock. I reached out to the British Library hoping to get a few copies of some records pertaining to Kedleston Hall and they were very quick and lovely in their replies, providing me with photographs of the finding aid. However, after seeing several records that I would love to stick my nose into and request digital copies of, I hit a roadblock. Late last year, the British Library was struck by a cyber-attack that has left them reeling and trying to recover, meaning that they could not accommodate my request for these records. As far as I have been able to tell, these records are still accessible in-person, however I am back in Canada and it's a bit of a commute.

I can finish this video WITHOUT these records, but as a dedicated researcher, I want to follow every rabbit hole as far as I can before admitting defeat. Which is why I thought I would put out the call here to see if anyone would be willing to go in-person to the reading room and snap some photos on their phone for me. I only need the photos to be clear enough to read and I have a little money set aside to throw a little cash to whomever would be willing to help me out.

I have attached images of the finding aid and underlined the bits I'd like in red. For further clarity:

Item 1: 1383 MSS Eur F 112/7333

Item 2: 1385 MSS Eur F 112/735

Item 3: 1355 MSS Eur F 112/705

Item 4: 1356 MSS Eur F 112/706

These items are from the Curzon Papers and are available through the Asian and African Studies Reference Services.

Here is some info on the reading rooms and how to access the collection:

You can email me at: [email protected] if you are willing to help me out or comment below!

If this doesn't work, that is okay! If nothing else I got to tease you all with an upcoming project :)

5, 6, & 38?

5. I originally got on tumblr because I was realized that it was a really cool space where lots of other weird people were talking about things I liked. I've been on here for a long time now, and I still primarily use it for fandom purposes. I started this blog, so I had a more dedicated space for history and the like, but my fandom blog is still very active. I didn't expect this blog to grow as much as it did so thank you all for being here ❤️

6. The best parts of being an online creator is the "creation". My channel gives me an outlet and an excuse for doing research that I otherwise wouldn't have, and I learn a lot along the way. I've also cultivated a small community, and it's been really humbling, and I've had some really amazing opportunities because of it.

The worst parts are definitely dealing with the other people, the ones who come to leave a shitty comment or just be a dick. I had a video blow up a few years ago, and I'm still getting rude comments on it. It's also kind of scary to have lots of eyes on you, so I always make sure that I have 100% belief in whatever I say. If I am not willing to say it in a crowded auditorium of 50,000 people, it gets cut from the script.

38. Cosmo Sheldrake's new album dropped and many of the songs feel like spiritual successors to his older music. I LOVE "Hocking" and "Run" on the new album has that same bombastic feel to it so I've been listening to that a lot. The whole album has been on repeat for me though.
