Patterns

lowkey sad that the studyblr tag went from being a functional tag where people shared notes and planners and talked about their studies to being lumped in with other aesthetic tags so all the top posts are just pictures of book piles cribbed off of pinterest

like i wanna see what YOU'RE reading, not what someone somewhere was reading at some point in the past and i wanna hear your thoughts about it!!

the academia aesthetic tags want what we have

anyway if ur a studyblr lemme know i want to follow u ❤️

I’m looking for some more booklr (bookblr? spelling?) accounts to follow to interact with :D It’s hard to tell how active people are so hopefully some people will want to join in conversation with this!

“You look at trees and called them ‘trees,’ and probably you do not think twice about the word. You call a star a ‘star,’ and think nothing more of it. But you must remember that these words, ‘tree,’ ‘star,’ were (in their original forms) names given to these objects by people with very different views from yours. To you, a tree is simply a vegetable organism, and a star simply a ball of inanimate matter moving along a mathematical course. But the first men to talk of ‘trees’ and ‘stars’ saw things very differently. To them, the world was alive with mythological beings. They saw the stars as living silver, bursting into flame in answer to the eternal music. They saw the sky as a jeweled tent, and the earth as the womb whence all living things have come. To them, the whole of creation was ‘myth-woven and elf patterned’.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien, from ‘Mythopoeia’
