As a communist, leisure is something I find especially sacred. No matter what area a person finds fascinating, I believe that person should have the right to indulge in it (given it is harmless). The pure idea of a world in which an inspiring historian has to sit at a desk and click on buttons to survive sickens me, let alone the reality of it. As long as you can, especially if you are young enough -
Read that Wikipedia article.
Analyse those films.
Learn that instrument.

Stay yourself, Stay curious.
I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive
I watched ''Black swan" with a friend today and was pleasantly surprised. Most of the 'girlblogger' films I watch are either mild in their social critique or rely too heavily on shock factor, but Aronofsky's film is harsh and relatable. One thing I enjoyed immensely was the cinematography.
If anyone could share their thoughts on the film I'd appreciate it very much! I intend on writing an analysis in the next few days.
Stay yourself, stay curious.
Too niche?

AS A PERSON MAJORING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT --
This is a really good observation! Haven't thought of it myself but it makes sense. Eve is also blamed throughout Genesis for the original sin heavily, whole people don't take into account Adam's autonomy in consuming the fruit. I actually think their roles are opposite - Camilla resembles Adam way more than Eve and Charles is similar to Eve. Charles is way more vocal and active in the group's activities while Camilla is very much a part of the bacchanal and such but is more reserved and manipulative. Camilla is also hinted to blame Charles behind his back to Henry for multitudes of things, which correspondences with Adam blaming Eve for the original sin.
Sorry if my English is rusty, I read Genesis in Hebrew so maybe my texts are different from the translations.
Bruh—am I stupid, did everyone catch this or am I smart? Idfk, but…Charles  and Camilla… prettttyyy sure they’re symbolic of Adam and Eve. The orphaned—“parentless”—incestuous twins makes sense now. Thanks philosophy and religious studies.
(Eve is made from the rib of Adam=sort of like the “twin of him”. Explains some of her nature too.)
Hello, this is sort of a basic introduction of me, and what this blog will upload. Obviously I will branch out further with time, as I change as a person, yet currently I would like to grab the right blogger's attention -
I am pearl, I am a very curious academic person and always open to learning new things. I want to start uploading on Tumblr to discuss my Interests with like minded people - I don't have many friends in my day to day life, and even fewer that I share my academic Interests with, so I'd be thrilled for people to interact with my blog.
She / Her | Queer | Marxist | Academic
Interests;
Literature; More specifically, Classics and Gothic. I find stories that examine the human condition to be very interesting! If you have suggestions for novels, I encourage you to leave me some.
Art; I sketch almost daily. I love the romantic period and Oil paintings in general..
Tv; I like philosophical movies and ones about girlhood. Also dark academia.
Favorites;
Artist; Lana del Rey
Novel; The Secret History
Movie; Heathers (1989)
I intend to upload my daily observations, opinions of Novels and other media, Communist content, and thoughts about my Academic interests - Classical literature and the Torah. This'll be my corner and if you'd like, you're welcome to stay.
Stay yourself, stay curious

Just clearing any confusion - this is not a safe space for pro ana accounts. As a person struggling with an ED, my blog will NEVER tolerate the romanticization and normalization of any type of ED. Mental illness is not to be desired, it's awful, and it does not make a person anything other than miserable.
Stay YOURSELF. Stay curious
