#but thats a lot of spoons

[the-jennnster]

Something about the way bibliopunk/punk academia is treated on here Bugs Me and I think it can be best summed up as this:

You can't just throw the "punk" descriptor onto whatever you like and call it an aesthetic

Punk is not an aesthetic

Punk is a mindset, it's a philosophy-- it's a rebellion against societal systems

When I say bibliopunk, I don't mean sweater vests and old library photos and quotes from classics.

Bibliopunk, to me, a punk librarian, is about freedom of information. It's about making sure everyone and anyone can have the resources they need to learn, whatever that means for them. It's no late fees and fighting against censorship. It's defunding the police and funding community resource centers that specialize in making sure there's a place where people can go to ask for help, to read books on any subject they can think of, to connect with events and organizations that exist to help THEM. It's about making zines and learning how to bookbind, because fuck the idea that traditional publishing and Amazon are the only people that can make something a book.

Punk academia, which is used colloquially here, is related to this-- it's saying fuck the academic systems that keep out the poor, the people of color, and the disabled. Fuck your Ivy Leagues, education is whatever the hell you make it. College should be free, classes should be accessible WITHOUT being forced to give up all of your personal financial and health information, curriculums need to include as many varying perspectives as they can because fuck the idea that a cishet abled white man is the authority on any given topic.

Bibliopunk, punk academia, and any other Tumblr "aesthetic" with the punk descriptor is not just a moodboard of photos you stole from Pinterest.

Because what's more punk than a public library?

#punk #dark academia #punk academia #bibliopunk #punk aesthetic #this has bugged me for a while #as someone who really cares about things like literature and writing #but is also very fucking angry at the systems that make them inaccessible to others #the only shit you find on bibliopunk is aesthetic posts #and nothing about actual values #ive thought about writing up like #a bibliopunk manifesto? zine? thing #but thats a lot of spoons #and i am but a small cripple

[ID: Two drawings of Enjolras and Grantaire from Les Miserables. They are both of the pair, asleep in bed, spooning. But the first has Enjolras as little spoon, and the second has Grantaire as little spoon. End ID.]

usually i can instinctively instantly tell which of my blorbos is which spoon…. but i cant decide w enjoltaire what is going onnn….

#maybe ill knwo by the time ive finished the brick #okay bcuz the thing is usually my go-to logic for spooning is #little spoon shld be whoever is most repressed and/or acts as protector and/or generally just needs to be shown that they can b #protected and can b treated gently #which obviously. wld lead to enj as little spoon. #but the thing abt it grantaire is me so he must be little spoon #also like. r certainly needs to feel loved and be shown he is worthy of love #also also. then when it comes to the question of big spoon #r wld love to feel like he can protect e. like. thats the dream thats ideal #but i think in the world e ends up loving grantaire back (aka the world where they spoon) he wld be eager to show r he does in fact #love him ardently . he commits to things a lot ykw #anyway. silly silly #on my own. #on my art. #les mis #exr #enjoltaire #les miserables #enjolras #grantaire #les mis fanart

[ID: black and white artwork of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Harley is standing up with one of her legs lifted behind her to bring her foot up near her calf. She's holding a gun as she reaches a hand out, her slightly curled fingers facing the ground. Underneath her, Pam is leaning back as leaves flutter out from around her, starting at her legs and going all the way up the left side of the page. Her arm is thrown out as the other is bent and slightly in front of her chest, almost in a defensive pose as she looks to the right. They're both sneering and are in front of a plain white background. END ID]

#hiii i hope you all are okay that my queue has a lot of posts like this (commission work/just a character) instead of panels rn.... #theyre less spoons usually to ID and i love just showing off art (and clearing my bookmarks lol) #itll still be under my panel tag because. lol <33 #crypt's panels #Harley Quinn #poison ivy #pamela isley #harlivy #<- theyre on the same page thats like 5th base to the average yuri enjoyer ... #pierre alary

guys i gotta be honest whenever people call the live action avatar “darker “more serious” and “less childish” then the original show i just think of this meme

#natla #netflix avatar the last Airbender #probably gonna be my most critical natla post lmao #before i continue i don’t hate the show i give it like a solid 6/10 #there’s actually a lot of stuff they changed/added that i like like IROH AND ZUKO OH BOY #especially iroh it’s so good #but is it controversial if i say i don’t think this show is all dark and super duper mature? #obviously on a surface level it is with the violence and such #certain parts got to me #but beyond that I don’t think it is? #the show is very tell don’t show and it kinda treats its audience like we need to be spoon fed? #idk…. imo maturity is a lot more then violence it’s how you treat your audience and how you approach certain subject matters #and I feel like in that department the show kinda flopped #plus with how they handle certain characters (katara…) #THATS ALL IDK MAN ITS JUST MY OPINION #natla spoilers

[otpcutie]

Time to try squidge and embed my fanart to AO3 again🤞🤓

#all 30 of them😭 #id also like my moodboards to be at the start of my fics again but gotta wait for spoons bc thats a lot more works #otpcutie talks

I said something about trigun being lifechanging and somebody immediately asked "old one or new one" and I cannot stress enough how MUCH I don't want to start this conversation

#trigun #babka watches trigun #listen. I know I am going to be looked down for only watching the stampede I just know #because it let's out a lot of stuff that 90s trigun and manga have #as for trigun 98 I am planning on watching it but I just DON'T KNOW if I will have spoons thats what I am saying. #I recognise them both as sides of a big and great story and if I don't end up watching the old one I will at least make sure to understand #all the references and stuff #there might be something lifechanging for me as well there #who knows #but like. I'm not going to debate with you or pick one or whatever #the question itself looks harmless but it was asked by a person who is a self-proclaimed shitstorm induce #and will take every opportunity they can to rudely try and debate anyone

[positivelyadhd]

I truly miss taking media studies because i could write so many essays on social media ect ect rn because it's truly so interesting to me

#like the influence tiktok has on everything?? #bereal?? #the obsession with authenticity without being authentic?? #the obsession with aesthetics and being a certain type of person?? #the way we struggle with concepts if they're not spoon fed to us?? #the pintrest predicted trends?? #algorithms?? #ESPECALLY tiktoks?? #tiktok is so fascinating to me truly truly #the way the internet is changing so wildly and rapidly even more than it used to?? #the impact that will have on people?? #the impact that has on culture?? #and fashion/trends/shops ect ect #truly could write about it forever #ramblings #the way everyone thinks their phone is listening to them but algorithms are acc a lot more sophisticated than that?? #AI expecally the openai chat thing thats truly wild

[thedisablednaturalist]

Ive been wanting to make more informational tiktoks/videos but to be honest the thing that's been holding me back is I never feel like I or my space looks presentable enough to post online. I have a few in my drafts but I always get insecure about it.

#wrenfea.exe #i think thats why vtubing really appeals to me #but i know a lot of people especially on Tumblr hate vtubers #if youre wondering what ever happened with the panda care bag.. #its also i havent had the spoons to really get footage and edit it #especially with everything going on with my health insuranc #tbh it would probably be more authentic to appear in my comfy clothes and messy room #it would be very authentic to the chronically ill experience

[spoonmoment119]

maybe i should ask for requests...

#said coming from someone who already has too many unanswered asks #but in my defense #if i dont look at them they dont exist and are no longer my responsibility #okokok #a few things about the requests #no promises ill actually awnser them #id prefer if they werent creecher asks just bc i usually get a lot and while the creechers are fun. sometimes i dont wanna draw them #yknow #uhhhh #yea i think thats about it #oh and maybe requesting some soulmate kid shenanigans would be fun #woah i spelled shenanigans correctly #the first time #thats cool #is that it? #yea i think thats it #spoon rambles

[lollybliz]

I have ideas.

I have a peanut gallery of friends that get excited.

I have at least a couple spoons, sometimes.

I keep having to actively choose not to think about my wips not work on my wips not even look at my wips because I'll want to work on them and I have too much work and homework and my exam is coming up and I'm aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I want to write :'(

#bliz rambles #i have one that's technically only about half written but outlined and really will likely only take a wee bit to at least get the rough #draft done #i have another thats sprawling into a leggy fucking nightmare and ive been letting myself spew the ideas i have for it in little notes in #a thread in my discord gc and i want to compile them so bad it hurts #one of my friends made a sidelong comment yesterday that made me rwalize ive had a solution to a fic breaking problem #in my lap the whole goddamn time #and i cant work on a single fucking one of them #because if i let myself write for fun im going to blow every last spoon on it i know i will #and i have so few right now #because my pain is being Mean and i have a lot i /need/ to get done with those few spoons #and so i wait #and im so afraid that by the time i have time again #i wont have the motivation or the ideas will dry up or i'll be too burnt #i already feel like a pile of ash #but i have ideas. and i have /hope/ which is /wild/ because i thought i didnt like writinf and i thought i was bad at it #but my god people like my latest fic #like a lot more than i thought anyone ever might fjdjdksk #theres only 7 public bookmarks but my stats page says there're 32 🤣 #i will /take that fucking win/ and id like to run with it i really would #but i have so much to do #dont work 6 days a week kids. not unless you get /really/ good benefits and they pay you for drive time. #and even then probably dont

u know its great getting to know new people at uni and having a few people you can be friendly with in class and shit but everyone i meet is so fucking young and its driving me insane. ive never felt so fucking old!!!! its not even anything personal it's just the opposite of what i need and IDK WHERE I CAN MEET PEOPLE MY OWN AGE

#(actually i do but. well.) #& #the thing is my english dept is kinda small and most classes are open to undergrads and grad students alike #and there simply are a lot more undergrads than grad students so thats who i tend to sit next to and talk to and get to know #and then they'll be like oh yeah when i graduated high school last year EXCUSE ME WHAT #and even among the ma students im kind of old??? which is insane btw #idk if t*bingen just has a very young student body or if its just my department but like #back at my old uni i was nowhere close to being the oldest #even as an undergrad #anyway #beside the point #im just venting #i know i should get out more and like. #do activities #but my spoons are limited as it is #and its not like im short on friends #THEY JUST LIVE ALL OVER THE PLACE #i hate this ughhhhhhhhhhhhgh #anyway thanks for reading pls pretend you never saw this

feels like most recipes on here would only work for ppl in the US

#like. hummus is not something easily available where I am for example #and like. not much I can make w the food thats actually from here tbh bc it takes FOREVER to make #and a lot of those low effort or low spoons recipes really require a lot of packaged food that is sometimes not even allowed much in my #house #also Im not a chicken nuggets autistic bc I hate chicken (tastes bad to me and reminds me of urea or ammonia) #maybe bc I was raised vegetarian #Im not a snob abt morality of meat I just hate the taste and texture of chicken #vent

i wish betting on wrestling was like a thing because while i would never win if i bet on anything else (am bad at recognising patterns that actually mean anything) i would cash in soooooo much because i can ALWAYS tell when a jericho feud’s gonna run way too long again 😌

#hello hi . im stressed out this fair sunday evening #feel like im failing at school already its been like a month and yet #one of my teachers v much implied i'd fail her assignment if i didnt do a bunch of extra shit and like #theres reasons for it that i can see from her side but theres also just the issue that i told her about of like #i just dont know how to work with that many materials and slash or i cant go out and buy all these things right now #and then she's like well go down to xyz and ask them to do it for you and its like honey i dont know why you think we've got such a like #mutually beneficial relationship going on between all the applied and fine arts in this school like #thats a fiction that lives in your head ... especially after we just didn't exist in this school for a whole year #and anyway. i went ahead and tried some different materials and its just like. you cant make up what an insane failure thats been #and its not that i didnt try my best its just that like idk what she wants from me #cause anyway theres a reason i picked the materials that i did the first time round #changing those just kinda changes the meaning of the thing in general... which is something SHE teaches us #anyway. and tomorrow i have class w someone who i'm Difficult with (as in like i have a hard time around her im not purposefully difficult) #(its just that she makes me feel that way cause of the 'tism and cause of the fact she thinks she knows how to handle the 'tism) #(she doesnt) #and again i did a lot of work for her im just sure she's gonna expect me to have done more #but in my defense. i need to go to the doctor and see if they can prescribe me some form of ritalin bc my exhaustion was so bad last wk #and has been bad for a hot second lately #and theres really only so much i can do with the spoons at hand #anyway. and im also Sad Right Now because ive been ignored and interrupted while saying things a little too frequently recently #and im not laughing. im having a Time. #i didnt even have that bad of a week all things considered but goddd i need a break
