I Believe In Free Education, One That’s Available To Everyone; No Matter Their Race, Gender, Age, Wealth,

sunday, september 20th, 2020 | this morning was nice! I had a smoothie and did my planning for the week, then I worked on some physics notes. the weather is finally starting to cool down and I am so, so happy about it :D

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3

Be the academic you've always dreamt of being. Stay up till 3 a.m. with your paperbacks scattered on the table and a cup of black coffee, write annotations beside the lines you want to remember, consistently scribble down your notes with your favourite black pen. Absorb whatever your professor says, think about it, come up with questions and hang around in the library pouring over thousands of books trying to quench. that. thirst. for. knowledge. Just do it, stop coming up with excuses that studying can't be romanticised. Live that academia life.

“Saturn in the twelve Signs of the Zodiac.” Clipped from a celestial atlas by Alexander Jamieson, 1822.

The art director JP Boneyard ’s favourite park is Montana’s Glacier national park. “It’s breathtaking, I’m smiling just thinking about it ,” he says. For his screen-print project Fifty-Nine Parks, now collected in a book, he asked modern artists to reinterpret America’s classic national park posters, commissioned by the government in the 1900s.

“I hope they inspire people to visit the parks and connect with nature, but, heck, it’d be awesome if the book inspired folks to pick up a squeegee and start printing too,” he says.
