Some Tweets That Basically Sum Up My Feelings On The Shadow And Bone Racism

hey it’s ya girl a plus sized poc dark academic 🕊✨

i hate how white and skinny most representations of the dark academia aesthetic are.

so i wanna say you don’t need to be white to embody the dark academia aesthetic or any aesthetic for that matter.

and you certainly don’t need to be skinny we need more diversity in this community not everything is european/ american based when it comes to dark academia never forget that✨

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

I have a need of silence and of stars. Too much is said too loudly…

How is Florence+ the Machine so very Adam Parrish, but also so very Nina Zenik. They are so opposite they’re hardly the same species

It’s so inconvenient for me that spring is soon but I have just reentered my dark academia mindset 

nothing hits quite as hard a Celtic music to give you that feeling eh

can someone give me song recommendations that crush my soul with nostalgia for a time I’ve never experienced please? I’m running low

My friend just returned my copy of If We Were Villains today and I am seriously fighting the urge to reread it

does anyone else absolutely lose their shit over “how long” from Hadestown or is that just me

I’d also like to add:

- converse shoes

- clock towers

- those signs that tell you when you’re entering or leaving a town but when they’re super faded

- dutch braids

- the lowest notes on the cello

- apple pie with cheddar cheese on the side

- The Cure

- the movie Footloose (the old one with Kevin Bacon not the other one)

things that inexplicably remind me of adam:
