I feel like staying up all night reading... my sleep schedule's been atrocious lately anyway so I can't exactly make it any worse >:)

While I wait for my next Solvej Balle books to arrive I've started the Danish version of The Fault in Our Stars I remember peeps on Tumblr being obsessed w it when I was finishing school but idk anything about it other than that. As it's YA I'm hoping it'll be kinda easy to read? #langsky #booksky

I got my septum pierced and it was totally painless ??? that was not what I expected (BUT I'M SO IN LOVE WITH IT I'M NEVER TAKING IT OUT!!!)

so TIL there are korean classes being offered in my city............... much to think about

it's cheaper to DIY iced coffee than go to a coffee shop but boy am I bad at it. basically drinking syrupy milk rn 😞😞 also realising as I type this that it's actually pointless to add the coffee anyway since a) I drink decaff and b) I don't like the taste of coffee (hence the syrup)

book #100 this year was PENGUIN LOST (andrey kurkov), the sequel to DEATH & THE PENGUIN IMO the first third was slow and fairly boring but the rest was on par with D&TP (which I thought was fantastic). the ending tied lots of things up nicely and was a satisfying conclusion to the series #booksky

I understand the sunk cost fallacy but as an impulsive person who's super bad with money and also 100% indecisive when it comes to langs I rly someone to shake me and yell YOU'VE SPENT £[redacted] ON BOOKS IN OR ON THIS LANGUAGE!! DON'T QUIT IT!! (this post is lowkey about danish)

I always find TL listening very difficult because I get so demotivated when I understand barely anything (due to a lack of practice!) so I usually quit after about 2 minutes >.< but so far this month I've done a few hours of Welsh and like 10 mins of Polish - for me, that's mindblowing XD #langsky

on the one hand, YOLO + I won't live that long = pursue my passions (GREELANDIC!!) and have a good time while I'm here on the other hand, I feel Obligated to be good with money and to Prepare for the future = only work on sensible hobbies/languages that I have a chance of getting good at

they said i could be anything, so i became a beginner in five languages #langsky

I learned about 'gifted child syndrome' today and :O it's actually given me so much hope. wdym I'm not inherently bad at everything I just need to learn how to learn 😭😭

though I was disappointed by the first third of Penguin Lost (Andrey Kurkov) because 🥱🥱, the second third - starting when Viktor goes to Moscow - has been great! I'm looking forward to seeing how things end. I hope Misha's ok 🥺🥺 (+ I'll definitely be reading more by kurkov!) #booksky

As of today, I've read 150 books in Welsh, my strongest non-native language! I've also very recently started considering myself a 'fluent' reader (though all my other skills need a LOT of work ;__; ) Let's see how I feel in Polish after 150 books read... #langsky #booksky

I rarely read stuff by ~ED recovery influencers~ (🙄) but it does suck how so many act as though my style of ED doesn't exist (A history of binging and overeating for years before even being aware of the concept of dieting + regularly binging and overeating on healthy/unprocessed foods 🤯🤯🤯🤯)

My cat's been destroying my sleep schedule for the last year + my quality of life has lowkey plummeted as a result but she's my baby angel girl so it's ok 🥰🥰

Nes fy ngliniadur benderfynu ail-ddechre ei hun dri awr yn ôl a mae'n DAL ail-ddechre ;__;

Had a super depressed night/morning/afternoon then flicked through my greenlandic grammar book and my heart went 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love it so much, if it wasn't for the whole long term depression thing I'd probs actually be passed a sub-A1 equivalent level 😩😩

I love the idea of being socially aware but it tanks my mental health (as someone already disabled by mental illness) Eg. My biggest passion in life is trying to learn greenlandic but I'm painfully aware that many see it as :/ for a white person to learn and use an inuit language ;__;

found some great vietnamese-language rock/metal cover songs on youtube 😁😁 but it turns out they're AI generated 😞😞 (which I only found out through looking through the comments 😩😩)

I read Death and the Penguin (Andrey Kurkov) a few days ago and loved it but I'm now about 1/3 through the sequel (Penguin Lost) and it's not really drawing me in, I'm kind of bored reading it :( #booksky

Dw i 'di cofio bod llysie wedi'u rhostio yn bodoli felly bydd cinio heno'n iym-sgrym 🤤🤤 pannas a thaten felys omggg

I figured out how to add vidoes to anki (it was so easy omg 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️) so I'm gonna give BSL a go 🥳🥳! I'm hoping to get some of the basics down before thinking about booking a tutor. (And that'll probably not happen for a few years coz I've never been brave enough for 1-on-1 lessons before >.<) #langsky

Been obsessed with this Mongolian song for MONTHS No I don't understand any of the non-English words 💙💙 open.spotify.com/track/0tmc3J...

My English GCSE was over a decade ago, I've forgotten everything. But it's WILD to me that so many think: "The author portrayed [racism, sexism, etc] and didn't show it as being wrong in the book, therefore they're promoting it!" *cries in writes as an art that explore new ideas* #booksky ?

The hyperpolyglot society or w/e it's called has cursed me with the goal of learning 5 languages in order to join and feel cool 😩😩 Almost there with my first L2 and getting there with another, but what the other three will be is a mystery. The langs I dream of change every few days 😭😭 #langsky

Wedi dechre llyfr Cymraeg arall, sef 'Hanes Cymyu: Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig a'r Gwareiddiad Cymraeg' (Simon Brooks). Academaidd ond accessible i ddarllenwyr lleyg fel fi. Dw i 'di darllen dim ond rhan o'r cyflwyniad hyd yn hyn ond bydd yn ddiddorol iawn, mae'n ymddangos #booksky #langsky

Took my princess 🐈‍⬛️ to the vet (found out she's fine!!!), spoke 1-on-1 to a vet for the first time! During the appt I was a boss babe and was 100% focused on the task at hand but now I'm home I feel like a fool who did everything wrong. Self-soothing with a chinese coz bulimic 😩😩

I like the idea of 'leaning into' my jewish roots through self education (and getting good at yiddish <333) bc I'm a bit :/ I grew up without the culture etc I 'should' have been raised with. But I'd also feel like an appropriator BECAUSE I was raised w/o the culture, like I have no 'right' to it

Kitty has a poorly tummy so no sleep tonight, I want to cuddle her + also she digs so loudly in her litter box >.<

Spent a ton of money on a chinese I've been looking forward to all week but it looks like they sent it to the wrong address :( another reason anxiety sux, I can't call to tell them I never got my order. To embarrassed to re-order so no succulent chinese meal for me 😭😭

It's taken 15 yrs but I finally got bulimia hand for the first time 😩😩 until it heals I'll have to wear long sleeves to cover my hands. I'm used to others' Bad Thoughts about my self harm scars but I'm still sensitive about my ED (I don't want everyone to know how much I binge 😭😭)

#booksky finished Girl, Interrupted (Susanna Kaysen) about 5 mins ago. I felt very connected to it and it's left me wanting to cry. Because of the weight of psych ward nostalgia? 5 stars out of 5, regardless

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world

Skończyłem uczyć się słownictwa 'Dziennika cwaniaczka #4'. W sumie było około sto nowych słów mniej aż w książce #3. Teraz znowu spróbuję czytać 'Ruchomy zamek Hauru' bez słownika, i też zacznę czytać 'Śnieżną dziewczynkę' z słownikiem #langsky

#booksky newydd dechre 'enaid Lewys Meredydd' (T. Gwynn Jones, 1905), hwyrach y nofel ffuglen wyddonol cymraeg cyntaf erioed! Nes i fwynhau y dwy nofel eraill y darllennodd gan yr awdur, felly dw i'n llawn cyffro i'w ddarllen hyn 😁😁 mae FfW o'r 'hen ddyddie' yn un o fy hoff bwncie i <3

Hated school so I learned nothing there 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️, I just found this out and it's MIND BLOWING 🤯🤯 wdym they fall the same speed on the moon 😭😭

jeg nyder med at læse 'om udregning af rumfang #3' men fordi jeg er vant til de superkorte kapitler fra de første to bøger i serien, kapitlerne med 10+ sider er :O og jeg er stolt med min forståelsesniveau, fordi denne er min første bog på dansk, der jeg ikke har læst på engelsk #langsky #booksky

the peeps on reddit saying you need a pre-lookup comprehension rate of like 98%+ in order to be ~successful~ when reading to learn a language would have a stroke if they saw how I learned welsh

been a bit (very) lax with my polish lately, BUT I've almost finished learning the vocab from the fourth Dziennik cwaniaczka book and I've only got two grammar units left of my B1 textbook. thinking about re-trying Ruchomy zamek Hauru (with no lookups first time round) slowly but surely 💪💪 #langsky

I had an unplanned SOCIAL INTERACTION today!! (saw a lady with a cute dog (an iggy!!!) and asked to say hello) But I don't feel great after the fact because my voice cracked horribly when I said 'thank you' and I could feel her laughing at me in her head >.<

I've always had your sort of mindset, and it's weird to see that especially on reddit, so many act as though spending hours a day in order to reach approx. B2 in 2 years or less is the 'right' way to learn a language. Not many seem to be fond of moderation or taking it easy

Cerddais i adre ar hyd yr hir ffordd a thynnu llunie gwael 😁😁

Y drwg: doedd dim toffw wedi'i smocio yn Aldi ETO >:( Y da: p'nawn yn y llyfrgell 🥰🥰 Unrelated ond dw i'n meddwl am fynd nôl i brifysgol, falle ar ôl i fi droi'n ddeg ar hugain. Mae environmental science yn 'ngalw i 🥺🥺 ond byddai yn mor anodd a dw i dal yn crazy felly maybe not lol
