The Crib of the Melancholy Baby

Ask me anything   Academic. Writer. Dissertator. Feminist. Inner-Goth haver. Exorbitant. Whatever.

Call me Theda Bara. Some time ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me in life, I thought I would click about a little and see the bloggy part of the world.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU DON’T THINK THERE’S ENOUGH SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE?
BASICALLY, YES. I THINK THERE ARE TOO MANY CONFLICTING OPINIONS WITHIN THE GENERAL ‘CONSENSUS’ AND THAT IT’S FOOLISH TO TRY TO FORCE EVERYONE TO ACCEPT SOMETHING THAT EVEN ‘THE EXPERTS’ CAN’T AGREE ON, LET ALONE CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE, JUST BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE TRUE. YOU CAN’T ASK EVERYONE TO BASE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AROUND A HUNCH. IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S HAPPENING, FINE. DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS NECESSARY TO HELP, BUT DON’T START PREACHING TO ME ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU’VE GOT SOME COLD, HARD, IRREFUTABLE FACTS.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE. YOU JUST SUMMED UP MY ENTIRE OUTLOOK ON RELIGION IN TWELVE SECONDS.

I’m getting this when the HP one comes out, I think. Or do I order now and get Pride and Prej? IDK. Decisions, decisions.

Wrap Up With a Good Book Scarf.
Let everyone know about your great taste in books by wrapping a page of one around your neck! This infinity scarf will keep you looking and feeling both warm & intelligent. Fabric has been doubled over and sewn along the edge and at the center to create a thick, moldable “page.” Sold on Etsy.

WANT.

I’d rather be here, reading a book with a cup of tea.

“You give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.” - Judi Dench being a bitch in Pride and Prejudice/me to myself every single morning after an event where I’ve met new people

I’m actually listening to this film right now as I write.
