I live for the Victorian study aesthetic. What I wouldn't give to sink into a heavy chair in a stylish day dress and respond to the letters of my suitors over hot tea and tiny biscuits. To sit in a window seat in a heavy woolen skirt to keep the chill from the windows away while I devour a new book. To run my fingers across the smooth leather and canvas bindings of first and second editions. To listen to a fireplace crackle while the snow falls outside as I read a newspaper.

11:30-4:00 - yearn

4:00-10:00 - ✨calligraphy✨

10:00-12:00 - commit ritual murder

thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love

People will say “I don’t dream of labor” like that is nice but I just want to shelve books and generate curricula for information access and youth literacy and just because I am opposed to the fact that labor is an obligation to survival under capitalism does not mean that I don’t aspire to labor for the benefit and maintenance of society. I dream of labor that is meaningful and life-giving to my community. I know capitalist alienation has convinced you that existence is ineffectual but it’s not a revolutionary belief. It’s an outgrowth of individualism.
