how do you even conceptualize reading 52 books in a year. wrong with you. a book is a friend and youre killing it by reading it that fast

I was just gonna leave this in the tags until I saw this note and had to bring my tags out to agree with them
i'm aware that the sheer amount of climate anxiety that i have is not productive but it's also being shoved in my face every 0.5 seconds due to the fact that i study climate science. imagine if you were going to be a civil engineer and engineers discovered that all the concrete in the world was going to disintegrate in five years at the stroke of midnight like a concrete y2k and your teachers kept emphasising the long term risks of concrete and why we need to stop building with concrete and manufacturing concrete and the government inducts new Concrete Transition ministers but meanwhile every new building is still being made with fucking concrete because everyone is adamant that the engineers will find a solution to the Concrete Crisis, even though the solution is to just stop using concrete because its going to lose all structural integrity in five years. and they tell you to keep studying concrete and work something out to make it stronger. no wonder we are insane
Paula Duró (Argentine, 1981) - El Mago (The Magician) (2022)
This is such a beautiful take on the imagery of The Magician. You can tell that the artist really understands the significance of the symbology, and understands how to manipulate it skillfully.
- Pentacles at the hem of the skirt, forming a foundation for the magician
- A serpent rising from the cup towards the genitals, appearing as if to grow from the sodden earth
- Swords as earrings.
- Wands being used as an instrument to provoke the cycle of rain and growth which the magician appears to themselves sprout from.
- Sunflowers as sun imagery taking part in the process of growth
This is someone who really truly understands tarot.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: go to your local library and pick up a book just because it looks or sounds interesting. Don't watch a thousand booktok videos or reviews of it first. Go to the shelves where librarians have put up their recommended books I'm so serious about this. I have found the most amazing books with this tactic. Open mind and no expectations are the best way to approach books imho
important additions from notes:
1. Ask librarians. Listen to librarians. LIBRARIANS KNOW THEIR SHIT IM SO SERIOUS I'd trust those people with my life
2. If a book doesn't interest you after a while of reading you can just drop it. Stop reading. Find a better one.
I can’t begin to express the difference it makes just that I’m able to wear exclusively t-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. And the thing is, right. What you notice is that I’m wearing something slightly odd for the weather. What you don’t notice is that I’m not curled up with my hands clamped over my ears because socks make the clinking plates in the restaurant too loud.
