Day 6/100 days of productivity [01.13.18] I didn’t complete any academic work today but I did take my dogs to the park, gave them a bath, and did my laundry. Some days, it’s about the small accomplishments.

Do you have a list or something of your favourite academic/theory books? 🥺

sure! all of them should be available on libgen, so enjoy 🧚🏻‍♀️ i did focus on cultural histories rather than theory, though, otherwise it would get too long. virtually all of them are published by the academic presses, and well-sourced and peer-reviewed. no pseudoscience in this household, no sirree! (also, none of them have anything to do with my actual field of study. i’m just like that)
