Thepretentiousacademic - Quality And Beauty In The Everyday

Leila Chatti, from "Postcard from Gone"

sometimes making tea is less about drinking it and more ab it keeping you company

Do you ever just… crave the forest? Like you feel like you NEED to be in a forest. The crisp cold air with just a sweater on, looking at the red and orange foliage in the autumn. In the winter the frigid and empty branches. The summer all the green. The spring the smell of rain and the mud. God I love the forest.

Sir please that's my emotional support stack of books that i haven't read

Billionaires are a disease, not a success.

Robber barons of yore built hospitals and libraries, established public parks and museums. They felt bad for stealing.

Note: Andrew Carnegie built 1700 libraries across America.

Today's unethical and ruthless mega-rich do nothing.

long overdue for a scream in the woods

BEING POSTED NOW!! Like any 77 year old worth her salt, this lady has character and lead a full life. "Hungry Hill" by Daphne De Maurier, published in 1944. Research has led me to believe this is the first U.S. publishing but I'm unable to confirm it. $40 (link in bio) #daphnedemaurier #rebecca #hungryhill #darkacademia #giftsforbooklovers #vintagebooks #literature https://www.instagram.com/p/CXIAwfrlgKZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

Little old Italian lady: Do you have zucchini?

Me: Yes, right here.

Lady: Is how much?

Me: $2.99 a pound.

Lady: It's usually $1.49.

Me: Yes, in the summer.

Lady, pauses, then grabs two: I put it in a soup.

Me: Oh nice, what kind are you making?

Lady: You will not fantasize about my soup.

And then she walked away. "You will not fantasize about my soup" will be in my head forever. I love you, little old Italian lady.
