Happy Wednesday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every August takes place in Edinburgh, The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (also referred to as The Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, or Edinburgh Fringe Festival), It is the world's largest arts festival! The first one was in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has become a world-leading celebration of arts and culture, surpassed only by the Olympics and the World Cup in terms of global ticketed events! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old Maps Library is there at the Fringe! If you are around Edinburgh come to visit us and check our unique old maps & vintage illustrations at the Arch's of Saint John’s Church, Prince Street @3d2devents West End Fair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ S.D.U.K 1834 Map or plane of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

Happy Tuesday! Wherever you are I hope you are having a great day. Over here at Old Maps Library we are busy getting ready to go to the beautiful Edinburgh. We are going to be there from the 7th to 29th of August at the West End Fair, Prince Street, during Fringe Festival. We are counting the days & are very excited to go back! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If by any chance you are around Scotland this month, come and visit us in the Arch's of Saint Johns Church grounds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ " Travel back in time & Discover the World heritage" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎 Our prints are linen backed by hand, this technique gives it more durability and a beautiful vintage finish look. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Linen backing is a technique that mapmakers used in the past as a solution to keep the maps stronger for long journeys and weather changes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔎Nowadays, this technique is an important conservation method for restoring and preserving vintage maps and posters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Our maps are folded and fitted into a marbled slipcase. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.

Nice big thick pile of copper blanks ready for turning into more lovely boot plates! It’s trippy how they each weigh practically nothing but when they’re stacked up like this it is a formidable chunk of metal :) . . . . . . . #designermaker #handcrafted #contemporaryjewellery #unconventionaljewellery #3d2devents #armour #boots #bootplates #metal #heavymetal #copper #gothic #gothicstyle #streetgoth #pastelgoth #badass #designermaker #jeweller #metalsmith #jewellerydesign #contemporarycraft #contemporaryjewelry #alternative (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpfVAnBG2_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cc2qa8ifz6zx

"My Living Nightmare with an Online Bully: Episode 10"

On July 19th, I ventured out on one of my solo Disneyland resort outings for a much-needed self-care day, sporting a new Star Wars dress I had recently bought. As usual, I had the best time, but I also found myself reflecting on the past weeks’ events in my life with “The Bully,” and while at Disneyland, I shared the following status on my (now private) social media sites, along with fun photos of me throughout the parks:

I’m grateful for the opportunities I have in my life, and I try not to take the luxuries in my life for granted… But recently, I’ve been accused of hating men, that I’m racist toward white males, and that I’m the “female version of an incel” (despite the very voluntary coitus I’ve experienced as of late). Furthermore, my character and integrity as a professor, as a woman, as a human, have been vilified with lies and attacks of total bullshit built on racist and misogynistic attitudes—including cheap shots about my Disney solo days (plus, a WHOLE bunch of other shit)— as if I’m pathetic. I’ve wanted to shut down, hide, escape, disappear from the world, never to show my face again. But I haven’t. And I won’t. So… to say that I never needed a “self-care day” more than I do right now at my Happy Place is NOT an overstatement! Happy Friday, Y’all! 

When my sister, Mercy, read my post, she immediately texted me, asking if all was okay with me. The only family I shared any of this with before posting on social media was with my mom, so I can’t say I was surprised to get the text from my sister, which I did appreciate. And even though I had a fun solo Disney day adventure, at one point, in the bathroom of the Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, I broke down and cried; it was all just too much for me, and I couldn’t escape the emotional turmoil building up. I waited until the next day to write my sister back. I didn’t want “The Bully” to consume my time at my happy place for another minute. 

In the days following my Disney day excursion, my anxiety and fears of what could still come ahead consumed me. I was afraid to write or post anything new on my blog. Fortunately, Vanessa informed me that Story Mill Entertainment was more than okay for me to take my time with blogging and posting anything new. But the fall semester would be starting in less than a month, and I was set to be back on campus, teaching two in-person classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other two classes online, and I was, to put it bluntly, freaking out about all of it. 

More concerning questions came up for me:

Would "The Bully" find me on campus?

Would “The Bully” show up at my office?

Would "The Bully" be waiting for me outside my class in the hallways, ready to accost me?

Will I have more students who could start bullying me online?

Will more students get mad at me for a bad grade?

I had too many questions, and not an answer in sight for any.

Read on to Episode 11... coming soon.
