“But as fire engulfed the sacred site on Monday, Catholics across the world reacted in horror and disbelief, particularly when the cathedral’s iconic spire toppled amid the flames.” - CNN, 4/15/19
list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals
cleaning or wipe your bare feet
breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly
most dark academia books and film have one person is obsessed with an enigmatic society or group of people/friends. What about the reverse?
A group of friends that become obsessed with one ‘perfect’ person; a loner of sorts, yet are mutually respected by everyone and don’t seem the need to make friends. Yet the group forces themselves onto that person, hungry to finding out more and essentially almost becoming like them. So they obviously get lured in by a single, mysterious person that could shatter them in a second.
was at the minster + saw a class of school children laying on the floor looking at all the architecture 💌
Tonight the moon is full. Through the window the moon covers my bed and turns everything a milky bluish white. So I escape by closing my eyes. Because the full moon is light insomnia: numb and drowsy like after love.
Clarice Lispector, from "Água Viva" (tr. by Stefan Tobler)
No words can describe the pain I feel for my trans sisters who have to live in a world where women like jk rowling exist and write. No words. I will always protect you and be vocal and open about your struggles and about your beauty.

Ok this is very late but I just saw your post on poc literature, but I wanted to let u know Ruth Jhabprawala is NOT a poc author. She's white but has profited from the misconception that she's South Asian although her books contain a lot of racist imagery and beliefs. I love her work on film but just wanted to let u and others know for the future! Thanks for creating the list too :-)
Thank you for informing me, I never knew!
