Like the glasses, your shopping lists and photography. Such good taste as always. Sometimes wonder if someone is editing your posts because many don't sound like you did in the past.

Any good hard case for glasses you could recommend? Trying to avoid the ‘squished-in-bag’ situation...

Ha ha ha. I love this. This is a great article I found while going doing the rabbit hole. https://lithub.com/a-brief-history-of-my-dark-academia/

According to Aesthetics Wiki (which actually exists, I didn’t know that either, I’ve just googled it), “Dark Academia typically involves intense and negative themes, including literary tragedy, existentialism, heartbreak, oppression, substance abuse, depression, and death. In contrast, Light Academia’s themes are generally positive, focusing on optimism, sensitivity, joy, gratitude, friendship, motivation, and happy endings”.

I reckon I’m probably Mood Swings Premenopausal Academia, which I’ve just invented but sums my own “aesthetic” pretty much up… 😅

I am DYING to wear glasses! Always have! Now at 44 I’m getting closer...maybe the blue light ones? How to decide though, there are SO many choices. I’m going to google dark academia now
