21.05.2025 🌿 What A Wonderful Day! I Went To The Market With A Couple Of Friends, Had A Really Good

found another local bookstore to frequent thats right near where i like to go thrifting~~~

April reads, not including what I read on my kindle. Having them in a pile like this makes me realize just what an absolute mix of genres I read in the past couple of weeks. It's hilariously chaotic. Anyway!! May is here! I was just telling a friend it feels like a yellow month for me, the kind of month that gives you unrestrained courage. Everything is bright and vivid. May you soak up the sun and grow confidently like the plants outside this month🌻

new cafe opened near the walking trail let’s gooooo

2025. 04. 28 | The weekend.

Koningsnacht and Koningsdag, we took it easy this year.

I had a pretty bad week a couple weeks ago at work and just mentally checked out for a bit, which was easy to do because it’s basically been Pasqua weekend, work retreat, Koningsdag, and now we’re back. Like a month later lol.

There’s just casual racism, sexism, xenophobia by some people there and not really anybody recognizing it, so I lost my drive for work for a bit.

Anyway, today was the first real day back and my student and I spent it in the lab. There are setbacks but we’re making some progress. I’m just excited to finally get going.

spent three hours creating a class facilitation about deleuze for my post-structuralism class !

the class went really well, and my professor complimented my discussion questions and work! i love being able to show people about philosophical topics and make it relevant and more accessible !

Slowly crawling back here to post to talk about books, because ngl, I missed it. At the moment, weirdly enough I only have one book on my currently reading and it still is Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. This is the third and final book in this series, and despite me being a little over 100 pages into it I am not vibing with it. I loved the previous two books, and flew through them, but I am so stuck with this one. I don't even feel like picking it up. It is partially due to my mental health and energy levels at the moment, but also I feel like it's also this book's fault too. It's been very slow so far and I don't really see where it's going? Not much has happened so far, which also makes me wonder why this book exists in the first place. Maybe this could have been a very good duology? I feel like it's dragging a lot, idk. If someone has read the whole series and can give me some spoiler free opinions that would be lovely. I am really hoping that the plot will start doing something for me, because I want to read so bad, but at the same time this book is not keeping me interested to have a good reading session.

omw to the library with an iced cinnamon dolce latte because i can’t seem to focus without leaving the house and spending money 🏃‍♀️
