whenever I finish a book (without a movie adaptation or with unpopular movie adaptations) for school I look it up on ao3 and get disappointed
but I also lack the executive function and time to write a fic, especially after having to write an essay
with all the writing students have to do, at least some of it should contribute to the enjoyment of literature among future students
tldr: please just assign us to create a fandom
I just noticed that the aroma joe's (that is, the only coffee shop in my hometown) has a no loitering sign. A coffee shop. No sitting around all day. If they enforced that, they would be out of business. The US is weird.
that sounds like a challenge to me
I’m just going to leave this here…
Don't mind me I'm just wasting my time arguing about the USSR with one of those "my dad left communism to pursue the American dream" kids
Ok no but seriously the Montreal Marxist Winter School was amazing. Go next year. Do it. https://marxist.ca/school
If you are in/can make it to Montreal on February 17-18, consider registering for this year's Marxist Winter School! 100 years have passed since the death of Lenin, but he lives on in his writings and, to the best of our ability, in all of our work today. This is why the theme this year is "In Defence of Lenin." Hyped to meet new comrades and consider/discuss the revolutionary ideas and historical lessons of Lenin! See you there <3
True ascended on an iceberg is being involved in all categories, disagreeing with the placement, and being able to come up with other categories that fit the topic (where does french revolution music and pre-1789/peasant revolt music used in a socialist context fit into this? Does history/political meme music focusing on socialism count?) Reblog with icebergs you've found that fit your special interests or post your own!

Other than the name, this just seems like culture shock. The lighting is weird because they bought the bulbs at a store you never knew existed. The smell is some cleaning product, perfume, or spice you've just never smelled before. The music is just foreign music in a genre you've never even heard of, and there are a few thousand languages on this planet, so it's no wonder you've never heard this one. The employees are all stressed because everyone is stressed right now... or maybe they have different traditions around hospitality? Regardless, all this is pointing to their food being amazing (and even if it isn't, you have a great story).
A restaurant named You're Not Supposed To Be Here, where the whole point is that the vibes are unnerving. The lighting is weird, the whole place has a faint scent that's not a bad smell, but it's certainly not food smell and you can't quite identify what the hell it is. The music is weirdly janky and you can't quite tell what's wrong with it, the vocals aren't exactly garbled but sung in a language you swear you've never heard anywhere and couldn't name if you tried. Only hiring staff who have anxiety and they're 100% permitted to show how much your presence here stresses them out.
the french contest at school didn’t work due to tech issues and kept saying “you are not allowed to take this course” and now I’m just sitting in the gazebo outside the library bc it’s raining and existentially pondering if I am, in fact, allowed to take french
