Just in case you’ve ever wondered why I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about Pride and Prejudice(/LBD)- it’s because I have read the book over thirty times. I own four copies. This is one of the annotated ones. (There’s a color coding system to my annotations). I picked it up for the first time in fourth grade. I’ve come back to it at varying points in my life and looked at it from a number of angles.

note writing takes so long but it’s so soothing at the same time ☺️

hi! i’m a new studyblr and i want to follow more studyblrs and fill my dashboard with inspiration which i really need right now

so, if you are a studyblr as well please like or reblog this so i can follow you <3

i dont think american filmmakers realise how huge london is, because sure you have the london eye and houses of parliament but when you say ‘london has fallen’ what??? so the nandos in catford is in flames? the tesco in peckham has descended into chaos? wtf??

To the (mostly white and liberal) people who find themselves going to protests for the first time:

1. Marches and rallies aren’t Coachella. They can be fun and fulfilling, but they’re more than that. You’re there to show solidarity and to build a culture of resistance, not to boost your social status or get more likes on Instagram.

2. Don’t take pictures/videos of others without their consent. I don’t care how cool their sign is. Unless you ask first, NEVER take a picture/video and def NEVER post that to social media without consent.

3. In the same vein: don’t be a snitch. If you see someone spray painting or flipping off cops or smashing racist imagery, etc, don’t take video/pictures. Don’t rat out your comrades, especially if they’re doing something illegal and can get arrested or fired.

4. At the march in LA on Saturday, a bunch of white Hillary supporters started shaking hands with the riot police. Don’t do that. The cops are not our friends.

5. Center the voices of members of oppressed groups. If there’s an open mic, let others speak. If you’re privileged, you’re there to listen and learn. Be humble.

6. If something that a member of an oppressed group says makes you uncomfortable, DEAL WITH IT. Don’t try to silence them. If poc start chanting “Fuck the police”, don’t try to shush them or drown them out.

7. These anti Trump marches are not pro Hillary, or pro Bernie, or pro Jill Stein marches. You’re taking part in direct action, not electoral politics.

If anyone has anything else to add to this list, feel free to do so.

Yo @ my fellow New Hampshirites we may be a small state but please please please get out there and make sure that Trump doesn’t get our state! We don’t have a lot of votes but in every poll I’ve seen recently we’re one of the quintessential states for Hillary to win due to how much other states are going back and forth. Go out there and vote!!!

It has been one hell of a stressful month. I just want to crawl up and disappear because there’s just too much I need to do and nothing is going as expected. Life is not looking so happy. Take for example yesterday, when my application for this research opportunity was due. I emailed my professor for a letter of recommendation two months prior but she suddenly went MIA yesterday and did not submit it before the deadline. And now I have a huge psych exam tomorrow I have to study for and I’m not even halfway done. I also have a quiz in calc which I’m doing horrible in, even though I stay up studying almost every night. Oh and I can’t forget to study for the ACT, go to work, and lead my extracurriculars. I had a couple of break downs, lost a substantial amount of hair, and have broken out on my face. I don’t think I can do this.
