17.06 // A Nice Cafe For Planning Trips, A Good Good Night Having Fast Food And Overly Sugary Drinks,

Day 34/100 days of productivity

Today’s Achievements:

Started an online forensic psychology course

Deep cleaned my room

Helped my dad sort and rearrange the office

Cleared out all my old GCSE notes that’s aren’t needed next year

Planned out other things I need to do the next six months

Hand made a Mother’s Day card (forgot to ask a friend to grab one for me and I’m isolated ahah)

Face timed other family members who are quarantined

Had a good day! It’s nice being off because I can get so much done :)

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓
