New Rule, Non Muslims Can’t Say The Word Jihad. Until You Stop Conflating A Word That Means Personal

cultural academia pt. 2

here’s pt. 1

This is a continuation of spreading cultural books to end eurocentrism in academia. There’s definitely more “dark academia” books that fit the aesthetic this time around!

Once again, if your country wasn’t included, that doesn’t mean it’s not important!! Please continue to add more books with their countries in the notes and correct me if I’ve made a mistake!!

Hey so this his very important.

I live in Argentina. And it’s not very spreaded across media as much as Australia was and many other places (that don’t get as reblogged and shared and helped) but I really need y’all help. I need all of your support and donations.

There’s a lot of organizations trying to recolect medical supplies for the animals affected and trying to get some adopted or fostering and also rescuing.

We really need your help cause some assholes decided to start burning down the trees and forests in Córdoba mainly but a lot of other provinces too. Córdoba is one of the provinces affected by the fires, more than 3,500 hectares burned and thousands of dead species that cannot escape. Entre Ríos and Santa Fe and Catamarca are other of the provinces affected by these fires and situation caused. The media isn’t showing not even half of it as always.

There’s not a law that protects what’s happening from not occurring and there’s a go fund me to sign a petition to make the law to protect, it would mean the world to Argentina if you can help and sign.

Please share and reblog this and if you can please donate (look up the money currency difference and help) and spread it.

Here I’ll leave the info of all the organizations to donate to while as well too Green Peace is trying to get help. It will mean the world for me and the rest of people that live in Argentina and most importantly animals and nature.

Images from the Wikimedia Commons Napier’s Bones category.

“Napier’s bones are a manually-operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on Arab mathematics and the lattice multiplication used by Matrakci Nasuh in the Umdet-ul Hisab and Fibonacci’s work in his Liber Abaci. The technique was also called Rabdology. Napier published his version in 1617 in Rabdology, printed in Edinburgh, Scotland, dedicated to his patron Alexander Seton.” (Wikipedia).

The Fall of Icarus, Jacob Peter Gowy, 1635-37

Hey warning to all you chaotic academia peeps: the point of chaotic academia is that there’s no right way to do it. If you’re academic and you’re not pretentious, congrats. You can be a chaotic academic. But this whole “more of a disaster than you” and “flexing unhealthy habits and achievements” is just the same bullshit under a different name. You’re not superior for being academic. Check your ego at the door, please.

Farewell online privacy

I want to be politically informed and educated but I also wanna have a good day and be in a good mood. Do you see my problem?
