another week, another task (i need to clean the windows, the dog's nose leaves prints allover it)

Tuesday, the 25th of June 2024

I am taking a day merely for reading for a paper and meetings concerning the next museum exhibit and my upcoming degree. It's all a little chaotic and I am fairly nervous but the sun is out so maybe a cuppa in the garden will help.

Things on my mind for the week

Read for that damned paper

Read texts for GDR seminar

Czech translations fairytale

Czech essay

Czech drills

Czech summary Dašeňka

Create word groupings and flash cards

people who don't know anything about academics: man y'all are stuffy and boring what's up with that? actual academics: *too busy fist-fighting each other over the beryllium problem or the existence of a dentistry profession in ancient egypt to reply*

most annoying trait from what i see as a millenial book girlie culture is "love of books" not as love of reading but as adoration for the physical object. an e-book, a library book or an audiobook don't have the same value because you can't display them forever for others to see. full shelves of unread titles are a symbol of status. annotating your own books is a crime. using old books in art projects like collages is guaranteed to earn you "as a reader this pains me" comments. i love buying a beautiful edition as much as anyone else but man the consumption mentality here is tiresome

hello, white tumblr user. before you is a serious post by a blogger of color about racism. if you are able to quietly reblog it without adding any bullshit, especially not anything starting with "as a white person-" you will be allowed to go free. the hardest challenge in your entire life begins now
