Dear Reddit and Twitter refugees:
You've probably already been told to change your icon, post and reblog stuff you like, Tumblr has holidays, etc.
But in case you weren't aware before....
When AO3 (Archive of Our Own) goes down for any reason, Tumblr flips the fuck out and panics. AO3 starts trending almost immediately.
Do NOT try to calm your neighbors down! Panicking with them until AO3 goes back up is the correct course of action.
Thank you and have a day.

I’ve become a graduate student.
I’ve become a graduate student.
I knew the moment I started my undergraduate education that I would eventually pursue grad school. After several years of preparation and working with single minded focus towards this one goal, it feels unreal. I think that when we ponder about our future we often expect that life will become so much simpler once we reach the finish line. Suddenly, I’ll be braver, more competent and confident.…

I started making art again.
I started making art again.
I haven’t taken an art class in about four years. Considering I was in a rigorous art program for three years and had always had a passion for creating, this was a significant departure. I went from taking advance art classes alongside my studies to nothing. I have always loved the process of making a piece of art. To me being in the middle of a project feels like being a trance or a state of…

Short Story: On Homesickness
Short Story: On Homesickness
Hello everyone! I wrote this short story as part of an English class. I hope you enjoy it. -MP I’m racing against the sun as I head to the subway station. The smell of musk and cigarettes attacking my nose. I try to focus on the music screaming in my ears instead of the woman next to me shushing her two sons or the man standing away from me smoking with a loose tie around his neck. I’ve been in…

I have a degree!
I have a degree!
Where do I even start? I’ve spend the last few months focused on finishing my degree. It was exhausting and stressful, but it was also extremely worth it. Four years of hard work and it finally happened. I have a bachelors degree in philosophy! Theirs nothing more satisfying than seeing your graduation requirements go from in-process to completed. I still haven’t fully wrapped my head around it.…

Reading is an art in and of itself. How you read. What you read. If you take notes as you read.

Writing Poetry for the First Time
Writing Poetry for the First Time
Okay, it��s been a while but I swear it’s because I’ve been working on good things! I will soon update you on what happened. I wanted to share a poem I wrote for my English class. This class was my first experience writing poetry and I’ve grown to enjoy reading it now and maybe I’ll write more poems. I have always found poetry intimidating and shied away from it. But this class really made me want…

"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."
