My academic aesthetic.

And a reminder that higher education cannot be considered truly democratised if students can still be doomed to poverty with multiple or advanced arts and Humanities degrees...

Hands are unbearably beautiful. They hold on to things. They let things go.

Suddenly it's December

and you're not seventeen anymore.

And you haven't been seventeen for a very long time,

but sometimes you need to remind yourself.

“All serious daring starts from within.”

There were people in the world who were taught by James Joyce, John Keats, WH Auden, Tennyson, who listened to Virginia Woolf's lectures... Who sat with Shakespeare to discuss his plays and how to present them, who saw Sylvia Plath everyday and who were Emily Dickinson's neighbors. There were people in the world who just knew Dostoevsky as an eccentric dude, who saw Tolstoy everyday and met Kafka for tea. I just cannot wrap my head around this lost and forgone privilege.
