cannot believe I have to say this but when you are posting a translated literary work, include the name of the translator! translation is hard work, often thankless, and it is also just as much a creative act as writing a novel or delivering a lecture.
and also, to do otherwise is highly dishonest! translation is an art highly dependent, first and foremost, on interpretation. no two translations will be the same! no translated work can mirror the original text exactly, no more than we can rebuild Babel. when you read Crime and Punishment in English, you are not only listening to the voice of Dostoyevsky— you are listening to the voice of the translator. credit them! you would not have access to the work otherwise; you owe the translator a debt.

I wish cats could fly but not in a cool way, not with wings, I wish cats could just buzz through the air with their legs dangling while they look at the floor, like an invisible guy is carrying them

Dark Academia things to get from the dollar store!
1. Candles, they may not have that elegant academia smell but it’s very aesthetically pleasing. If you live somewhere small you can get electric ones as well.
2. Candle holders, there might be different colors and shapes at your dollar store but these are so elegant.
3. Journals, yes technically you can get journals anywhere but with the outside design and texture...they can be expensive. This leather like small journal is pretty academia like.
4. Fine pens, again you can get them anywhere but they send to be expensive. They can still give that dark academia effect :)
That’s all folks! I might give you guys a part two :) PEEP MY NAILZZZ
