w polskej książce, którę czytam obecnie, główna bohaterka ma łasiczkę jak zwierzak domowy... i łasicą jest moje ulubione zwierzę więc 😡😡 jestem zazdrośny

I wish it was tomorrow already so I could go to the library again 😪😪

also I might stop spending a bajillion ££ on going to coffee shops + instead just bring a drink... to the library... like any sensible pwrson would 🧐🧐 coz omg I am soooo bad with money literally idk how I'm not in debt 😭😭

gonna challenge my anxiety today: I'm going to the new library! it's now open every day of the week 🥰🥰 ...but it's right in the city centre 😞😞 so will be mentally challenging and for the forseeable future I'll only go on Good Days. but I do need a safe space that is free to use lol

👀 do you know if the platform supports people making private dictionaries for conlangs? I like the look of the layout!

it's so much easier to not binge and consume a sensible amount of calories when I 90% eat sweet treats :| nutrients who

#langsky polish month of reading, day 8:

read chapter 2 of Baśnie śnieżnego lasu, still harder than Śnieżna dziewczynka was but easier than ch. 1 - already noticed some repeated vocab.

also read about 5 pages of Narnia #1 but then the cat wanted a cuddle so I had to pause :')

bad day :-( car beeped at me, amazon driver was annoyed with me, neighbours' noise scared me, girls stared and laughed at me

will attempt to cope healthily by reading til I get a headache ?

Children Of The Moon

THIS ALBUM IS MIND BLOWING!!! I stayed up all night listening to it 🥺🥺 post hardcore on the screamo side of things <3

#langsky day 7 of reading-a-bit-in-polish!

finished śnieżna dziewczynka this morning ✅️

and have just started baśnie śnieżnego lasu (by the same author). omg! this one's much harder. I only read about 5 pages in 35 minutes :')

but practice is practice, I shall keep on keeping on 💪

I've been listening to The Black Parade on repeat for the last 3 hours and I'm experiencing emotions 😭😭 ik ik fake fan but it's my fave MCR album by a miiiile

A screenshot from Spotify Wrapped showing my yearly overview. The top half has a picture of a band, five men standing together in dark clothes. The bottom half lists the stats. The top artists are Kids In Glass Houses, Lady Gaga, Marina, L S Dunes, and The Amity Affliction. The top songs are Abracadabra, Caramel, Butterfly, Little White Lies, and Holy Hell. It says I listened to 16,452 minutes of music and that my top genre was emo.

This year's Wrapped... that's the most music I've listened to since like 2019 😅

Pokemon TCGP: I got my fave legendary 🥹🥹🥹

I need to stop letting strangers online (who aren't even directly talking to me!!!) influence how I enjoy my hobbies. But it's haaaard >.<

(I've wanted to learn russian for years but there're Loud ppl who say it's unethical and it makes me want to cry coz I don't want to do Something Bad ;__;)

#langsky I recently read 4 books in Danish w/o looking anything up, and while it was nice to read 'naturally' I don't feel I learned anything >:(

So I'm restarting the series (Om udregning af rumfang by Solvej Balle), this time noting down new vocab - still no flashcards though ^__^

Day 2 of daily reading in Polish: Dzisiaj rano czytałem 'Śnieżną dziewczynkę' przez godzinę i skończyłem prawie dwadzieścię stroń ☺️☺️ Strony, które przeczytałem, były dość łatwe by rozumieć. Teraz mam mniej od sto stroń pozostałe w książce ^__^ #langsky

too cold to be in a tshirt... too hot to wear my slanket... 😪😪 u haven't known pain till you've lived my life 😪😪

#booksky on the other hand... I'm halfway through Crime and Punishment (fyodor dostoyevsky - transl. david mcduff) and it IS living up to the hype!! I'm in love and already looking forward to reading more of his books hehe

#booksky I'm 2/3 of the way through Stoner (john williams) and while I am enjoying it it's not really living up to the hype (yet?). I've seen so many regard it as an 11/10 favourite read but it's not giving me that impression (could be just bc I cannot do deep/analytical reading to save my life! :P)

today's second reading session was 8 pages of Śnieżna dziewczynka. phew, this one was tougher than usual! there were two paragraphs where I completely went ??? and just moved on lol. but I'm still happy w/ my overall progress and am now nearly 2/3 through the book 😎

I think my only december #langsky goal will be to read at least a page in polish every day ^__^

since it's gone midnight I can count what I just read as day 1 hehe, I went through 11 pages of Siostrzeniec czarodzieja (polish transl. of narnia book #1)

hoping to read some Śnieżna dziewczynka later!

Realistically idk if I'm ever going to actually learn + get decent at any language(s) other than welsh and polish coz I'm just too indecisive!! I want to learn every language!! and I have 0 'real' motivations that would make choosing a TL easier 😪😪

Przewiduję o Śnieżnej Dziewczynce (książka polska dla dzieci, którę teraz czytam): Tasza będzie miała zrezygnować z przyjaźności Śniegotcą, aby wiosna nadejdzie. I może być umrze dziadko w powodu ciężkiej zimnej pogody :O

#booksky

A screenshot from the website Storygraph. The background is black. On the left is an image of a book cover: Feminisms - A Global History by Lucy Delap. The book cover's top half is light blue and the bottom half has dark green, white, purple, and pink stripes with an effect like paint dripping. On the right is some white text providing information about the book such as its title, author, page length, and publication date.

About halfway through Feminisms: A Global History (Lucy Delap) (the references take up a good 50 pages at the end so the % is off ). Pretty informative and very accessibly written for a noob but it's a bit more UK/America/western world centred than I was expecting #booksky

I'm a very surface-level ABBA fan - only ever listened to ABBA Gold - but every song is so singable!!! truly the goats of pop

new fave animal = grasshopper mouse

wdym they howl 😭😭😭

‘Mansplaining’ is different from other criticism – and Rachel Reeves is right to call it out Women in public life often experience gendered behaviour but are punished for pointing it out.

We're currently in the midst of 16 Days of Activism & this article offers a powerful reminder that language is one of the primary means through which gender-based violence operates.

Did some reading in welsh and polish 'this morning' (late afternoon but it's when I woke up lol) and my comprehension was so bad!

Negative: uhh, the above

Positive: usually I'd spiral about how stupid and bad at languages (/everything) I am, but today I thought maybe I'm just tired 😴

did my first readthrough of unit 7 of Teach Yourself Complete Romanian and was introduced to the dreaded subjunctive 😨😨

but... it looks like it only has unique inflections in the third person?! yippee!!! and it's always indicated with the word 'să' so it's easy to spot ^___^

Two of the local coffee shop coffee guys are so handsome 😭😭😭 why can't I be facially gifted 😭😭😭
