illegible handwriting, coffee rings on notebooks, putting gloves on only to take them off again, dark lipstick, maurice (1987), walking to class when it’s not raining enough for an umbrella but just enough to fog up your glasses, stone buildings, leaves that aren’t quite crunchy, deadlines, pen smudges, leaving class only to find out its dark outside, cinnamon, cold noses, swaying trees, half moons, cuffed sleeves, silence
Gustave Flaubert, from a notebook entry written c. February 1840
Does anyone ever just stop and realize - DAMN what a time we live in.
It's 2020 and we just launched a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket into space with humans on it, landed the main rocket back on Earth successfullyy, on an OCEAN barge!?
And meanwhile you see the crew room where an entire team of people is wearing face masks and social distancing as they do their job.
What. A. Time.

I love the special atmosphere in Korean book stores. You can come and study at a desk with other strangers, you can sit on a bench or even on the floor between shelves and flip through a few pages of a book, picking the one that is the most interesting to you. They also have unique special smell, fragrance that you can’t buy in other stores~
turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.
