One Book July | Final Thoughts and Flip Through
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Join me as I flip through my July insert and discuss my thoughts on my very first One Book July. Thank you for watching and for your continued support!
Important:
A viewer kindly and thoughtfully brought to my attention that I have been sharing a lot of Harry Potter content in the last couple of months without mentioning J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter -- the story, the characters, & the fandom -- holds a special place in my heart, but that does not mean that I should ignore the problematic views and comments by J.K. Rowling. I'm sorry that I haven't made my opinion on J.K. Rowling clear from the outset and I would like to do so now: I was deeply disappointed and appalled to read Rowling's harmful comments about the transgender community. Trans rights are human rights. I am still learning and unlearning and I always welcome kind feedback and conversation; please feel free to message me here or on IG.

Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Ellie, I am a professor of English. There are so many works that I love and enjoy. This is a truth! What is equally true is that the authors of many of those works sometimes give me pause. This is part of the human condition. I hope that you continue to enjoy the books you love and hold the authors to account in much more critical and insightful ways than simply abandoning the good they managed to create. I believe you will! I am so thankful for your channel. I look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment Michelle. You've articulated what I've been feeling but haven't quite been able to put into words. You're right: I don't want to abandon works that I love and, to be honest, nothing can take away my first experiences reading Harry Potter and what that meant to me. You have gotten to the heart of the matter: what I CAN do is cultivate a critical and insightful eye and hold authors and creators accountable while I work to learn and unlearn how to contribute to the type of world I would like to live in.
Would you mind if I pinned your comment? I am so appreciative to learn more about how others navigate the separation between creators and the works they create, and your insight and experience has really helped me consider where I'm at and where I want to be. 💛
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!
@@elliescorner2019 Please do pin the comment; I am so glad it helped. The kind of critical work we have in mind can be difficult, but it's so much more rewarding in the end.
💛💛💛
I'm Norwegian, and in Norwegian class in school, we all HAD to read Knut Hamsun. He is an absolute Norwegian classic, and probably our biggest literary pride. He was also a Nazi. We can acknowledge the artistic/literary value of a piece of work while simultaneously critiquing the anti-humane opinions of the author/artist. Doing creative writing in school myself, one of the things we work on the most is separating the art from the artist. After you have created it, it is an autonomous piece of work. A book is like a table, in that way. You can love the book/table as a story/piece of furniture without loving the author/woodworker as A Person. These two are not one and the same. If Knut Hamsun had been obviously racist in his books, we would not be reading them; they would be classified as "hate speech", which is prohibited in Norway. Our Norwegian teacher was like "yeah, he was a Nazi and that *sucks* and also his book is good". Idk why people on social media these days seem to confuse the person who made the thing with the thing itself. It's not as if Harry Potter is created as a piece of anti-trans propaganda... That would've changed the picture completely. But she didn't. (This completely ignores the financial side of the argument, but I'm not writing an essay here, haha.)
Thank you so much for this response! I find it really helpful to see how others approach separating the creator from the creation, and imagining the book as a piece of furniture really helps provide perspective. I still love the world of Harry Potter and I was open to clarifying my stance on J.K. Rowling because I didn’t mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable or excluded. I know it’s not the norm for planner videos and I hesitated about how to approach it, but it has led to really thoughtful comments like yours, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and experience! Those must be interesting discussions in your creative writing courses!! I never had discussions like this in school so hearing about how it has been addressed in your schooling is so interesting. 💛
Lovely flip!! I’ve never read or watched HP but I saw her comments and also Daniel Radcliffe’s. I really appreciated his mature, balanced response and I think yours was equally mature and balanced❤️
Thank you so much, Daksina.🤗 This video was uncomfortable for me to post (which let me know I was probably making the right choice for me) and I truly appreciate your feedback. I agree, Daniel Radcliffe’s response was everything I hoped it would be and if mine was a fraction of that, I’m so glad.💛
I really appreciate the way you addressed your viewer's question or comment. You come across very authentic to who you are, without it being overwhelming to the viewer. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your feedback.💛 I was nervous to post this video, and hearing how it came across to you warms my heart because that is how I hoped it would be received overall. Everyone’s response has been polite and thoughtful and has led to some good conversations, and it has reinforced why I love this community. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.🥰
Hahah, love the citronella candle 😂 And everything else, of course! I'm excited to see how your (bullet) journalling will evolve post-July ☺️
🤣 Thank you so much!! 🤗
Perhaps this will be a controversial comment, but honestly, I don't think you need to mention your opinion about JK Rowling at all. Crazy that we are all pandering to others, and feel we have to appease them. Just my opinion.
Hi Sharon! I appreciate you sharing your opinion, and I definitely thought carefully before filming this video. It makes me nervous to share my opinion (on things other than stationery!) in my videos, but I did so because even though I love Harry Potter and continue to enjoy that world in my planners and outside of them, I also want to acknowledge that
I do not support J.K. Rowling's opinions on the transgender community. Having an online "voice" is new to me and I'm doing my best to learn how to navigate this space in a way that feels true to me. Thank you for watching.💛
Enjoyed your videos and set up for OBJ 2020. I have been doing this since 2015 and each year i learn new things and find new folks to follow. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you so much! This is such a wonderful community and there are always new ideas to try. 😊
As someone who adores a truly extra fine line and just switched to a fountain pen (I was using a .38mm Pilot g2 for my bullet journal before)... I love my TWSBI, however even the extra fine is not fine enough for me. I have found that I prefer Japanese fines and extra fines. So far I am preferring Pilot and Platinum pens. Just my two cents.
Oooh that’s really good to know, thank you!! I have an EF nib, but I definitely prefer an extra fine line in general. I may be back to pick your brain once I finally ink it up and give it a try.😅 Thank you for watching!!
Ellie’s Corner I would be honored! I hope you love it and it’s perfect for you, though. Also, thank you for sharing your videos with us! I love your videos so much.
Aww thank you so much, I truly appreciate that! I hope the TWSBI works too, but I have the feeling I’ll want more once I try it! (Maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten into it yet... 🤔😆) Do you have IG??
Ellie’s Corner rofl you’ll definitely want more! It’s a really fun hobby that you can claim is also functional 😉 and, I do have an IG! It’s coffeethenwhisky ☺️
I like how you think! 😁
Thank you for sharing and clarifying your stance on the author's harmful opinions. I really appreciate it.
💛 Thank you for watching!
Love the memory spread! Great flip though! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thank you so much Morgan! That’s my favourite spread too. ☺️💛
I love your videos and your setups and as always I look forward to your next video. I really want to try @3yearsapart but I think I need to buy the set because I want to try the rectangular date stickers. You of course made it look good. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Donna!! I’m so thankful that 3 Years Apart offers free printables but I would love to buy stickers from them too. I love their style! As always, thank you so much for watching and commenting!! 😘
I also ended up *loving* my one book july experience! Thank you for your thoughtful tips and videos! I may have found planner peace!
Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so happy you enjoyed OBJ too!! What setup are you feeling your peace in??
Ellie’s Corner also a TN! First time I’ve used it. With my larger handwriting this was so much fun and comfortable!
It’s such a great size!! 💛
thank you so much for addressing JK Rowling's problematic mindset. My family loves the Hogwarts World and have had a lot of conversations about this. We won't be buying anything more that gives JK Rowling any more money. Fortunately we already have all of the books and movies.
💛 Thank you for commenting and sharing how your family is approaching the situation. It’s so good to have these conversations and I find it helpful to hear how people are navigating their love of HP and the comments made by JKR. I also own all the books and movies, and I’ve recently been collecting the gorgeous illustrated editions as well. Going forward, if I do continue to collect the illustrated editions I think I will also donate the cost of the book to an LGBTQ+ organization. I’m glad that the HP community, amongst others, are willing to have nuanced discussions. Thank you so much for watching and sharing! ☺️
As a non-binary viewer who loves your channel, I appreciate your mentioning your support of the trans community. Everyone is having to reevaluate their relationship to Harry Potter at this time and it can be messy.
Messy is an apt word, and I’m appreciating the conversations and insights as many of us navigate it. Thank you for your comment and for watching!! 😊
Great Video, I love your set up!
Thank you so much!! ☺️
I loved #onebookjuly as well. I used sizes I haven't used in a while and standard was one of them. Mine turned into 2 book july. Both my start plan and final thoughts are on my youtube channel.
Standard is such a fun size! I loved your nano sized art journal. 😊 Thank you for watching!!
Everyone knows Daniel Radcliffe wrote Harry Potter
🤫😆 Thank you for watching!
What do you do with random list, notes, or brain dumps.
If it’s something small I’ll include it on the daily page itself, or I’ll just go to my next blank page and write in there. Either way, if it’s something I’ll need to refer to again I will put it in my index! I just watched Brandy Michelle Plans’ August setup and she sets up all of her dailies first and then has a tab for notes after them, which is another great option!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
💛💛😘
1st view, 1st comment, 1st thumbs-up AND August 1st! TFS xo
😁 🙌 Thank you so much for watching!!
