This syntax course has literally made me, a grown ass man, cry over my incompetence and incapability to learn anything. Maybe I should just quit the course. I can't learn it. My brain rejects it. What am I supposed to do at that point?

There's an advanced course on English Syntax that I'm taking right now and it's reminding me of how bad I am at memorizing abstract BS. I feel like I don't have enough hours in a week to learn all the material. I've taken several days off just to focus on syntax this fall and it just won't stick.

Personal Vent:

Being the group's hangout organizer is all fun and games until people initiate their own ideas but then still expect ME to organize THEIR hangout idea, and it's somehow MY fault they can't even suggest a day in the group chat. Like girl are you being srs rn? YOU'RE THE HOST, NOT ME!!

The cover of "Dead Man's Mirror" a book of Agatha Christie that features three stories in one. The cover is green with a cracked mirror on it.

"Dead Man's Mirror" 💙📚 #booksky

I've decided that I like Poirot stories! However, the shorter the story, the less I seem to appreciate the conclusion. The titular mystery was the best out of the three, and "Triangle in Rhodes" felt a bit more like "ok, if you say so..."
Still enjoyable!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way. Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto- Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen. Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic? Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all. Extremely realistic Green: Of course. Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion. Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag? Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

i tried to find a gif of two pikachus slapping each other from the first pokemon movie but i couldnt find it lmao. anyway, thats what the world does to me when i didnt get my damn banana pancakes :(

the hashtag is half-sarcastic, i just wanted to write about my frustrations with pancakes, but it ended up reading like a poem lol

I made pancakes today.

I made them for everyone else first.
When it was time to make mine
I was low on batter but I made it work,
making it runny with low-fat milk.
Time made the pan too hot
but I thought;
if I grease the pan, just for me,
it will be a waste.

I didn't eat pancakes today.

Portland has fallen!

Personal topic, but I don't think I should try to stay up late anymore, had a horrible anxiety attack/existential crisis last night out of nowhere. 3 am is an evil time!

Weird how times change, I used to love being a nocturnal gamer.

The cover of Amélie Wen Zhao's book "Song of Silver, Flame Like Night"

"Song of Silver, Flame like Night" 📚💙 #booksky

I enjoyed parts of it, but it's really sloppy. The main character should not have been an "outsider", it made many things feel underdeveloped. The mage villain's dialogue sounded weird.
I think it does get better after the first 100 or so pages.

Danke Google KI aber niemand hat dich nach deiner Meinung gefragt

The cover of the book "Art of War", with the author titled as "Sun Tzu"

"Art of War" 💙📚 #booksky

A quick read. The first half or so is applicable to life in general I feel, but the second half gets more into types of terrain and such which didn't particularly interest me at this time in my life. But who knows about tomorrow?
A little repetitive, but glad I read it!

my book club on Discord is starting Middlemarch this evening (first 7 chapters)

The cover of Tove Jansson's book "Comet in Moominland", but in Finnish. The Finnish title is "Muumipeikko ja Pyrstötähti".

"Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti"

En lapsena lukenut muumikirjoja, mutta nyt luin. Todella kiva vertailla vanhaan animaatioelokuvaan. Yliopisto-opiskelijana tykkään jotenkin eritoten siitä miten akateemikkoja herjataan. Hahmoista Niisku & Niiskuneiti olivat lempparit tässä kirjassa.

The cover of the book "Wolfsong" by TJ Klune

"Wolfsong" 📚💙 #booksky

Super fanfic-y with the emotional dramatics and the writing style, but I teared up like 7 times so I'm not complaining. I was into the pack and supporting cast, but the main couple wasn't really for me. Certain characters needed more screentime. 100% enjoyed the book.

🐺4/5🐺

Ah, what a shame - but the author's wellbeing always comes first, of course. Even if the sequel never comes out, I think this book works as a standalone very well.

Thank you for noting her other works! I'll have a look :)

The cover of Susanna Clarke's book Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" 📚💙 #booksky

Classically styled yet easy to read, great humor, creepy undertones - what an interesting & long book. I really enjoyed it. I think the world & the lore are absolutely marvelous. If the sequel ever comes out I'll run to the bookstore for a copy.

⭐5/5⭐

the cover of dee brown's book "bury my heart at wounded knee: an indian history of the american west"

"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" 📚💙 #booksky

I don't usually read history books, but I think I will in the future. This book affected me greatly. It manages to be very easy to follow despite the amount of information it's getting across. I'll look more into modern day indigenous issues ASAP.

⭐5/5⭐

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

The cover of Agatha Christie's book "Murder on the Orient Express", featuring a train at night billowing through a white and blue winter landscape.

"Murder on the Orient Express" #booksky 💙📚

To be clear, I am NOT a detective story reader, but wow. This book was great. Perfect length, memorable characters, satisfying ending. The clues I picked up on mattered (but not always how I thought they would)! I had so much fun binging this today.

⭐5/5⭐

charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death before it happened. if anyone else had died he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.

A streamer I follow(ed) just said that he's "a lot like Charlie Kirk actually because he just wants to debate people respectfully and people get mad at him for it", as if his opinions on video game balancing are in any way comparable to IRL political issues. Jesus Christ. Bye.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

No one is talking about making games easier when talking about accessibility you guys just pull that argument out of your ass every time because you literally believe that the bare minimum of accessibility is cheating

really appreciate the caring people who have asked me how i've been doing these past few days that i've been sick :) <3 been a really tough fever/flu/cough combo.
