Lord Byron’s journal entry for April 19th 1814. He expresses his depression after the Bourbon Restoration:

"April 19. 1814.

There is ice at both poles, north and south — all extremes are the same — misery belongs to the highest and the lowest only, — to the emperor and the beggar, when unsixpenced and unthroned. There is, to be sure, a damned insipid medium — an equinoctial line — no one knows where, except upon maps and measurement.

‘And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death.'*

I will keep no further journal of that same hesternal torch-light; and, to prevent me from returning, like a dog, to the vomit of memory, I tear out the remaining leaves of this volume, and write, in Ipecacuanha, — ‘that the Bourbons are restored!!!' — 'Hang up philosophy.'** To be sure, I have long despised myself and man, but I never spat in the face of my species before — 'O fool! I shall go mad.'***”

* Macbeth ** Romeo and Juliet *** King Lear

Virginia Woolf, A Writer’s Diary, August 18th 1921

So a friend of mine has an Etsy store that's taken a hit this year, like many others, and is getting buried by the algorithm under the weight of stores run by corporate manufacturers and sweatshops posing as artisans and small businesses that Etsy won't weed out. Since her work seems very in line with Tumblr's aesthetic, I thought there might be folks on here who would be interested in it!

She makes hand-bound leather journals, using eco-friendly sourced materials. From her page: "All of the leather I use have been sourced as a by-product from the upholstery and automotive trade which may otherwise end up as waste." (I actually use her offcuts to make leather thimbles, so the recycling continues!)

They're GORGEOUS btw:

Rainbow colors!!

Rainbow pages!!!

Sizes!!!

She does really gorgeous work, right? I have one of her journals and people are always asking me where I got it. So if you're wanting to spend your Christmas gift money on a small business or individual artisan and you like lovely leather journals made from offcuts that have been saved from going in a landfill, I can't recommend Jackdaw Bindery on Etsy enough!
