Something about the way bibliopunk/punk academia is treated on here Bugs Me and I think it can be best summed up as this:

You can't just throw the "punk" descriptor onto whatever you like and call it an aesthetic

Punk is not an aesthetic

Punk is a mindset, it's a philosophy-- it's a rebellion against societal systems

When I say bibliopunk, I don't mean sweater vests and old library photos and quotes from classics.

Bibliopunk, to me, a punk librarian, is about freedom of information. It's about making sure everyone and anyone can have the resources they need to learn, whatever that means for them. It's no late fees and fighting against censorship. It's defunding the police and funding community resource centers that specialize in making sure there's a place where people can go to ask for help, to read books on any subject they can think of, to connect with events and organizations that exist to help THEM. It's about making zines and learning how to bookbind, because fuck the idea that traditional publishing and Amazon are the only people that can make something a book.

Punk academia, which is used colloquially here, is related to this-- it's saying fuck the academic systems that keep out the poor, the people of color, and the disabled. Fuck your Ivy Leagues, education is whatever the hell you make it. College should be free, classes should be accessible WITHOUT being forced to give up all of your personal financial and health information, curriculums need to include as many varying perspectives as they can because fuck the idea that a cishet abled white man is the authority on any given topic.

Bibliopunk, punk academia, and any other Tumblr "aesthetic" with the punk descriptor is not just a moodboard of photos you stole from Pinterest.

Because what's more punk than a public library?

#punk #dark academia #punk academia #bibliopunk #punk aesthetic #this has bugged me for a while #as someone who really cares about things like literature and writing #but is also very fucking angry at the systems that make them inaccessible to others #the only shit you find on bibliopunk is aesthetic posts #and nothing about actual values #ive thought about writing up like #a bibliopunk manifesto? zine? thing #but thats a lot of spoons #and i am but a small cripple

Literally how big of an ask is it to be part of the small group of literature students with a clever name in a small college in Vermont, studying Shakespeare and Homer and Tolstoy, smoking cigarettes and drinking cheap wine straight from the bottle. Racing through the forest, hearts pounding in our chests, plaid pea coats flying out behind us as we run. Whispering love songs in French. Dancing to Bowie and Queen and the Beatles. Leaving notes stuck under dorm room doors. Stargazing and eating oranges. Living.

New year resolutions

Romanticize my melancholic solitude.

Be unapologetically insane.

Stay aesthetically pleasing

Punk Academia, in my opinion.

Studying either at home with music blasting or at the public library, very quietly.

Possibly drinking a pepsi or something, whatever you got from a vending machine.

Whatcha reading? Books on anarchy, or maybe history, political movements, social studies -- anything that opens your horizons and educates you.

Hell, maybe you're even studying the history of punk rock? Getting familiar with its core philosophies?

Or, you know, you could also be reading a fiction book or a zine.

Taking notes on your notebook with a pencil.

The notebook is filled with poems and lyrics you've created or you've liked from other places.

Written rambling on whatever you read, something that might go up on your blog, or your zine if you have one.

Doodles, designs and stickers all over that notebook and the notebook cover too.

You're dressed however the fuck you want??? As you should??

Your hair is also however you want, casual, mundane, crazy as fuck, who cares.

Finding ways to help your community and those in need, that seems very punk academia.

Discussing what you learned with others.

Educating people who aren't in your scene, too.

Or, hell, talking to yourself about it while you work on a patch.

I really want to just live in the woods in a cabin and have people see me as another local cryptid as I explore the woods and lay in the moss and I want to read stories of myself on cryptid website with people just talking about how they've seen this odd creature in the woods- is that too much to ask?

chaotic academia stuff!!!!

oversized clothes

THE DEEPEST EYEBAGS POSSIBLE

eating food that should be microwaved cold because who has the time?

bathing in a cold pond/river when going on nature trips

shoes that are falling apart but can't be thrown away because they've become more than a simple materialistic possession, they've became a companion in many of your unreasonable trips, so unreasonable they've made you feel alive for the first time in quite a lot. Also there's funny little drawing on them.

so. much. tea.

and of the weirdest flavors too

taking notes but not being able to read them later 'cause you forgot how to write halfway thru

"dresscode: Elegant"? Not on my watch

no I'm not coming to the party... wait, what?... there's gonna be alcohol?... WELL THEN I SUPPOSE-

favorite film: an Asian underground production named "bogloglo" which only comes in original language with portuguese subtitles, but understood the meaning of it thanks to the western music and the exaggerated expressions. It's also been watched only by about 4 people before the only ever existing copy got eaten by a pig.

do you want to debate politics in a constructing and not threatening and bigoted way? hell yeah

"video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor." (I see and approve the better things, but I follow the worse.)

Punk Academia

Dark circles under the eyes

Coffee/energy drinks 24/7

Stress

Doodles

"Yeah, you can copy my notes, no problem. What? You can understand my handwriting? Well, that's a you problem"

Debates on class

Corrects the professor

Slam poetry

Critizes the educational system (with extremely valid points)

Homework?

Controversial essays/debates

Probably a communist/socialist/anarquist

[akaessi]

as someone who is both in academia and has an "academia aesthetic" blog, i do think it's worth discussing how restrictive and hostile academia is for many people, truly beyond the aesthetic.

academia is presented as this space where intellect and progressive thought is welcome and encouraged, which it certainly is, but only in the "correct" manner, by the "correct people," etc.

at the end of the day, there's still a professor insulting me for daring to correct him on his antisemitic terminology in class. there is still a classroom where me and my friend are the only two non-christians present in a discussion about whether or not christianization was violent.

there are so many people who face these situations and worse. (i'm privileged as an able-bodied white jewish woman in the academic sphere!)

there is an entire world of academia beyond the aesthetic and it's hostile. there are so many institutional and social barriers preventing people from accessing academia. and there are so many instances of cloistered departments that are at least 15 years behind in progress and thought.

I don't know. that's just my short ramble with no conclusion.

Autumn but your cheeks are red from the biting wind and you bike all over town with your friends because soon it’s going to snow and you’ll have to hide inside and you drink lemon tea and read ghost stories at sleepovers and hug people on the street and step on leaves.
