Friends called me to go out but I'm using an old pic of mine while sick and excusing my self to read Aristotle.
I don't think this will ever end.
>>8124509
You sound insufferable
What Aristotle? If it's Metaphysics, Ethics, Poetics or the Organon you did well.
>>8124509
Don't behind intellectual excuses, you just don't want to go because you're insecure and scared people will think you're boring and unlikeable

There's a white oily substance that fills sperm whales' heads, so obviously sailors figured it was sperm. Duhhhhh.

I read it in French. Bresson is mostly a fraud with some great editing skills.
His philosophy on cinema is kind of interesting but mostly just DUDE JUST WING IT LMAO inspirations.
Many of his films are unwatchable. A shame he had to force his theory of acting on audiences.
Hello /lit/, I'm gonna make an introductory literary chart for environmental literature. This is supposed to be an ambiguous and all-encompassing term, and will allow for non-fiction, economics, poetry, climate change, etc., just for everyone to get a basic grip on the beauty if nature and what's going on around us.
To start with I have:
William Wordsworth & Samuel Taylor Cole: Lyrical Ballads
Henry David Thoreau: Waldon
Rachel Carson: Silent Spring
Peter Singer (One Atmosphere)
EF Schumacker: Small Is Beautiful
The Guardian
The New York Times
Any other suggestions?
>>8124312
Is Walden any good? I'm asking because it seemed to inspire Christopher McCandles.
>>8124625
Oh god yeah
>Christopher MemeCandless
Are there any fiction books or short stories, about prehistoric man, hunter gathers, ice age etc. ?
I found my myself fascinated by Gobleki Tepe-like discoveries, and the idea that there were once multiple hominid species living at the same time.

Write your diary entry here lad.
Lets gain some insight into each others lives.
Selling a car is more difficult than I thought it would be, setting the price seems entirely guess work.
My fitness regime is going well, I seem to be improving at a steady pace. However I've been experiencing extreme stomach pain, perhaps at the sudden shift in my diet.
I've been expected to talk to be a lot more than before. I've found this difficult. My own personal hang ups make connecting with new people a trial. However for this new position I must push forward.
In an attempt to lengthen my attention span I have begun forcing myself to partake in singular tasks in hour long spans. Otherwise I'll simply get nothing done.
I hate myself.

I threw away one of my old diaries because it made me cringe hard.
Nausea all day again
Chest pains didn't go away
No energy to look for job today
Headaches went away
"The child was sleeping soundly, she had got warm under the blanket, and her pale cheeks were flushed. But strange to say that flush seemed brighter and coarser than the rosy cheeks of childhood. “It’s a flush of fever,” thought Svidrigaïlov. It was like the flush from drinking, as though she had been given a full glass to drink. Her crimson lips were hot and glowing; but what was this? He suddenly fancied that her long black eyelashes were quivering, as though the lids were opening and a sly crafty eye peeped out with an unchildlike wink, as though the little girl were not asleep, but pretending. Yes, it was so. Her lips parted in a smile. The corners of her mouth quivered, as though she were trying to control them. But now she quite gave up all effort, now it was a grin, a broad grin; there was something shameless, provocative in that quite unchildish face; it was depravity, it was the face of a harlot, the shameless face of a French harlot. Now both eyes opened wide; they turned a glowing, shameless glance upon him; they laughed, invited him.… There was something infinitely hideous and shocking in that laugh, in those eyes, in such nastiness in the face of a child. “What, at five years old?” Svidrigaïlov muttered in genuine horror. “What does it mean?” And now she turned to him, her little face all aglow, holding out her arms.… “Accursed child!” Svidrigaïlov cried, raising his hand to strike her, but at that moment he woke up."
was he?

Congratulation on the worst post in the history of /lit/.
>>8123997
this is my fourth favourite thread in all of /lit/ history
So /lit/, what is a spook? Do you know or just force this like a meme?
'forced memes' are a spook (and vice versa)
Anon is a spook.
Its when letting nonmaterials (morals, social agendas, religion) influence how you live. For instance, if your trying to have a nice day, that's a spook.
>the marks humans leave are too often scars.
favorite quotes from him? this one really speaks to me about man's inhumanity to man
>>8123968
It really Ye's to the corncobbiness of a tortilla.
>Thought this was too hokey and sentimental to be written by Yecarthy
>I was right
Dumb quote at any rate. You can't leave scars. You can leave wounds that form into scars after a period of time.
>>8123968
We've gone full circle with this meme. Feels good.
Just got a Poe collection for $2, hardcover. What are the essentials?

Someone in my Facebook timeline:
>"Research" or "studies" people, not "researches"
>Just a heads up...
What do they mean? Is it wrong to use "researches" for 3rd person singular? Should it always be replaced by "studies"?
Aren't they talking about nouns rather than verbs? Like, you don't write reasearches as a plural of research? Don't know if that's true though, is the words defective?
>>8123925
Oh.. you're probably right, it may be about the noun forms which makes sense... I never heard 'researches' in that context
Thanks for the blog post OP, did they post anything else lately?
