"Via Scott Long. For those interested, I've uploaded my entire library of books on Palestine/Israel to the cloud, in digital form (mostly pdf and epub) so you can access them. It's a little over 1700 books, a lot of them good and important, some of them historical or political curiosities. Nearly all are in English, I'm afraid. You can download any that interest you individually, or the whole library (about 13 GB). And feel free to share this."

Eye on Palestine (suspended on Instagram 10/25/2023)

inventing a new study aesthetic called "dork academia" where anything goes, no matter how silly - silliness is actually encouraged - as long as it makes your studying experience more fun and/or productive! Here are some of my personal examples:

I got notepads and binders that are size A5 instead of the normal (larger) A4 format. Why? Because they fit in my favorite messenger bag and also small things are fun. (Plus lecture hall desks can be tiny as heck.)

Got homework? I put sticky notes with the individual tasks on fun-size treats in an effort to dog-train myself into voluntarily doing homework.

I make my personal study notes as entertaining as possible by adding puns and doodles in the margins.

Cute/silly stationery. It doesn't have to be Mildliners or other expensive things. My current faves include glitter gel pens, Halloween washi tape, peanut-shaped erasers, and a gaudy-ass ballpoint pen - all courtesy of discount shops and TK Maxx.

Feel free to add your own "dork academia" things!! I'd love to hear them.

Cyberpunk Librarian

hello world! I've been digging around to find a dumping ground for my accumulation of PDFs for easier access for others and I stumbled across this fine fellow. (click on him to see the website)

This fellow has not only a podcast about library tech FOR FREE (or at least a very low cost) but also some very cool guides about storing music and navigating open source projects!

(and some very hot takes on the dewey decible system lmao)

I swear this isn't an ad but it's just a very very very bibliopunk resource and I need to scream about this guy into the void.

Thanks for reading shoutout to Daniel Messer ur so cool I'm a dan fan

ykw actually? the obsession with sources that are "appropriate" for use in academic spaces is just an excuse to devalue non-dominant knowledges/wisdom/forms of knowing and also a way to prevent us from accurately analysing phenomena we know are real.

it's a way of controlling what we can talk and learn about, and how we talk and learn about it. it's a way of ensuring that The Academy can still dictate the language we have to use, the information we can share, and the ways we can share it. i fucking hate it.

I am no longer calling lists “To-Do”

They are now “Side Quests.”

I am on an adventure, upgrading my skills as I age tyvm. And if I have stuff to do I might as well make it fun m.
