"One of the most prevalent obstacles in our ability to heal and self-actualise is when our productivity is tied to our worthiness."

I think the studyblr community especially needs to hear this. You don't have to be productive all the time, you need rest. Recovering from internalised capitalism means unpicking all the messages from family, friends, school and workplace that have reinforced the idea that you are a commodity, and that your worth is based on what you do. Your worth is inherent.

No one:

I love world literature, and I’ve been frustrated by the lack of representation of it in literature + academia communities on tumblr, so here are some recommendations. I haven’t read all of these myself yet, but the ones I have are excellent and the ones I haven’t come highly recommended from Goodreads and are on my to-read list! 

With the exception of anthologies of older works, all of these books were written before 2000 (some literally thousands of years earlier), since I’m less familiar with super contemporary literature. Also, I only included each writer once, though many of them have multiple amazing books. I’m sure there are plenty of incredible books I’m missing, so please feel free to add on to this list! And countries that aren’t included absolutely have a lot to offer as well–usually, it was just hard to find books available in English translation (which all of the ones below are.)

List below the cut (it’s my first post with a cut so let’s hope I do it right… and also warning that it’s super long)

Playlist spotify

fresh air: some days we just need go outside and breathe.

chill: a book, a cup of tea and this playlist.

central perk: i don't even have a `pla´, just perfect music for a perfect show.

cold water: and let's give a big warm welcome to sadness.

singing on the roof: sing, sing, sing. The world can wait.

past lives: classics that live forever.

al sur del cielo: perfects spanish songs

muv: dance while the world crash

warm honey: songs to warm your heart

it’s monday, wake up: 7:00 am, it’s monday and i hate the world but at least i have good music, just get up.
