dark academia but it’s online school

- waking up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, even though you don’t actually need to

- staying up late to read or paint because you don’t have to get up early

- handwriting assignments that should be typed and submitted digitally

- having a coffee cup with you, rather than a thermos because you don’t have to take it anywhere

- still getting ready and dressed so that you can feel focused on your work in the mornings

- emailing your teachers to see if they have any extra reading related to the topic

- turning in all of the assignments for the week earlier than the rest of your class because you wanted to finish them early

- not doing any assignments for the week because you were too interesting in researching about different planets or the deep sea

How to be a sustainable dark academic:

Buy clothes from charity shops or second hand online. I know that this is technically part of the aesthetic already, but it's still worth mentioning.

Glass is really difficult to recycle, so use your old wine bottles for candle holders, vases, water bottles, or anything else you can think of.

Try not to wear polyester, or to buy it. I know that it's cheap and easy to get a hold of, but it really isn't that good for the environment, especially if you wash it often, because plastic micropartickes come away from the clothing and are washed away in the water.

Big plus: candles are good for the aesthetic. It might be a bit of a stretch, but limiting your electricity use through using sunlight in the day and candles when it gets dark? Very dark academia.

Trains and buses are criminally underrated modes of transport. And they fit the aesthetic too, because I mean, have you ever seen a Regency poet driving a Prius? I think not.

You could also walk, I guess, if you're a peasant. Or travel in a carriage, which is far more stylish.

Basically, whenever possible, limit your use of single-person vehicles. And things like Über or Taxis too, if you can take a train or a bus instead.

Take a reusable coffee cup with you. If you always have one with you, you won't have to buy coffee in one of those takeaway cups that can't be recycled when you go bookshopping.

Speaking of books, again, try to buy second hand. I regret to say it, but the printing industry isn't exactly the pinnacle of sustainability. There's also always the plus of finding a really nicely bound vintage book if you buy second hand.

I feel like most people in the dark academia community already have this in the bag, but fountain pens. Even just a small thing like throwing away empty biros can really add up. Using a cartridge pen with an ink well or something similar could reduce that wasted plastic, even if just by a very small amount. It fits the aesthetic, too. Every little thing counts.

When it comes to furniture, this aesthetic has it in the bag. Buying second hand and vintage is far better for the environment than buying newer furniture.

Mend your clothes! Again, I think that this really fits the aesthetic of blazers witb elbow patches, but honestly, if you have one vintage wool blazer that you mend over and over for years to come, it's far better for the environment than buying a new polyester blazer from H&M every time you get a hole in the sleeve.

I feel like as far as aesthetics go, DA us one of the best in terms of sustainability, because of the focus on vintage and antique items.

Also, it is A-okay if you don't stick to doing everything sustainably all day every day. It just isn't realistic to be the perfect person, and as long as you make the choice consciously, it's all okay!

Stay safe :)

lorde really wrote an album about being the kid that stayed home when people went out and had to keep a reputation of being nice and modest and polite but secretly wanting to go crazy and dance wildly and go running and bounding and sobbing but feeling as though your whole life hinges on other people giving you the opportunity to do it and so you feel as though you’re wasting your youth
