Feeling emotionally turbulent. Every other day I'm consumed by an overpowering sense of either beauty and joy and hope or melancholic lethargy and lonesomeness

there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.

Little is as beautiful as when an awkward and socially-inept teenager blossoms into a fully functional, charismatic, and sociable adult

I can foresee myself getting obsessed with Saint Isaiah of Gaza sometime in the near future. He'd be a nice addition to the corner of my mind dedicated to Philoxenus. All descriptions of his thought perfectly align with mine

I doubt I'll get to reading him soon though. I don't think I'll be about to bring myself to read him without having finished a good portion of Philox's discourses

So fucked up they named boycotting after a guy. "Boycotting someone is named after Charles Boycott, who was so disliked everyone collectively pretended he didn't exist" sounds made up. Some "Thomas Running invented running" type lie but it's actually real

Ah yes, the passion for literature and art and language that only arises from the deep-seated need to procrastinate the night of an exam. How lovely ๐Ÿซฉ

I relate to the main character so deeply, with his fascination with historic figures and the stories they write with their own flesh & blood. Also with his brooding tendency to overthink the meaning of everything โ€”in his words: The morality of almond milk. The politics of sonnets

Book is "Martyr!" by a guy called Kaveh Akbar. Idk if it's a case of "Guy who only read one book: This reminds me of that book" but for me at least, it really reminds me of Brideshead Revistes (one of my fav books). Kind of like a hypothetical post-sobriety sequel for Sebastian

Sometimes I have to even question why I think a flower is beautiful. It's tiring at times, but I think I'm overcoming it

Jumped between reading so many things in such a short amount of time that I feel so saturated with text and so overwhelmed. This is what Juan de la Cruz would call literary gluttony. I want to vomit.

Posting is good for your brain. Bad for your mind, terrible for your soul. But for the brain? Pretty good!
The odds of having dementia at age 85 were close to 1 in 3 in the 80s; now they are 1 in 10. I donโ€™t think we have a great explanation: better cardiovascular health, diet, and education are often mentioned. Good news nonetheless. Carnall Farrar. (2025, March 27). Dementia trends.
