darrencriss To celebrate Pride last month, @airbnbexperiences graciously treated us to an INCREDIBLE at-home aerobics class from @rorykdavis, drag choreographer extraordinaire from my hometown of San Francisco. Rory’s experience is part of a collection of LGBTQI+ experiences hosted by tenured hosts or nonprofits to benefit the community year-round. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to do more! Anyway thank you @airbnb (and Rory!) for breaking up my quar-routine in such a fun, sweaty, fabulous way. #AirbnbPartner

Non-Stop - Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

To celebrate the release of Hamilton on Disney+ I decided that my song of the day should be from the musical so I chose my favourite one which is non-stop. I had the privilege of watching this musical at the west end on May 27th 2018 and it was the best musical I’d ever seen and I think a lot of it had to do with how simple the set was but it was able to tell this amazing story through the music. 

This musical has absolutely everything from death to humour. I know that if I want to listen to music and have a laugh I will listen to any songs that Jonathan Groff (King George III) sings because I think they’re mad but really funny.

There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back - Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes is my all-time favourite artist, there are many reasons as to why that is the case but I would say the main reason is because of the variety in his music as songs like Lost In Japan and In My Blood are completely separate from each other when it comes to genre. The same can be said for Lost and Where Were You In The Morning.

Today's song of choice is,

‘Share Your Address’ by Ben Platt

I love the upbeat and happy feel of this song as I feel like in the current climate that we are living in everyone needs some sort of happiness generator in their life, and for me, that is music, TV and film. I cannot tell you how many romantic comedies I have watched whilst in lockdown. I have also been watching a lot of films such as, Brian Banks, Selma, Fences, Hidden Figures and 13th to educate and inform myself of the racial injustice that is occurring in the world, and as a white female, I understand that I have white privilege and I have the ability to use it for good and not to be ignorant and ignore the constant situation that has been going on for centuries and pretend that it doesn't exist just because I have not seen it occurring first hand.

30 Days of Learning

Today I am starting the 30 Days of Learning challenge. I am going to do updates on Wednesdays and Sundays.

The topic I have chosen is film. I have selected this because film is something that I am very passionate about and also love to learn about everything involved with the making and distribution of films, including the finance and the actors that get cast in the film, and the also the screenwriting process of it.

This also fits well with me studying film studies as one of my 3 A-Levels along with maths and economics.

My goals for this month:

By the end of this month I want to have an extended knowledge of the film industry, especially the historical aspect of it as that is my weakest area of film studies.

[daily--study]

Along with the month of productivity that I will be starting on July 1st I have decided everyday to upload the first song I listen to. Today it was,

'Crazy Notion' by Jeremy Pope from the musical 'The View Upstairs'

I recommend anyone that hasn't yet to listen to this soundtrack as you will not be disappointed.

Is there a skill you’ve always wanted to master someday, but kept procrastinating on? A language you started learning – then abandoned? A topic in class you’ve never quite grasped? Or maybe you just want to expand your horizon and try something new? Distract yourself from your usual studies?

This challenge is the perfect opportunity to achieve that! Pick a skill and see how much you can improve and grow in 30 days – or really start working on your to-read list (I know those books have been piling up), your portfolio for that dream job in Illustration you want, or your blog you’ve been meaning to post more original content on.

Self-growth and development are so, so important, which is the main reason why I created this challenge.

The idea of this challenge is that people from all communities come together to gain knowledge, add skills and just have fun with the amazing amount of resources out there. This way, we can all support and motivate each other, whatever field you might be interested in.

Post an introduction with the hashtag #30dol with your goals and expectations for the month, and what your current level is. (Of course, you can join in later as well, but it’s fun to start a the same time!) In the end, you’ll be able to compare and see how much has changed!

Rules:

choose a topic or field you want to concentrate on

post an introduction to #30dol 

define your goals or aspirations

update daily or weekly, we want to hear from you! ♥

post a picture, a sketch, or audio, whatever you deem fitting to show us all your progress for the day/week

Here are some ideas for you:

bullet journaling (read about it here on @emmastudies, here’s an amazing online course on it) 

books/reading (if you don’t have a personal to-read list, here is one with the best books of the 20th century, best series with a gay plot/subplot, and books everyone should have read at least once)

coding (here are some sites to learn html, css, data science, python 3, java, etc.: x x x x)

design/illustration ( stickers and illustration, character illustration, Ink Illustration, 45 best adobe illustrator tutorials, 

business/freelance/open your own shop (tips on how to open your own sticker shop, digital skills: web analytics and marketing)

languages (apps like lingodeer, duolingo, lingvist, busuu, blogs like @lovelybluepanda. there are also so many pdfs and amazing websites out there depending on your target language!)

online mass education courses (edx, coursera, skillshare, futurelearn where universities and professionals teach you about their subject - be that astronomy, engineering, ancient greek history, artificial intelligence or medicine!)

social media (learn to take iphone photos for your tumblr or instagram, and here’s a great post by @studyquill on how to start and maintain a studyblr!)

photography (travel street photography, find photographers you admire like annie leibovitz or henri cartier bresson and read about their path, or browse youtube channels like negative feedback which specialize on photography)

creative writing (there are tons of workshops online - you could also try to set yourself a piece or word limit similar to nanowrimo) 

culinary (check recipe websites, or challenge yourself to try one new recipe a day, or dedicate the month to a specific cuisine)

music (learn music production, andrew huang has also made a video on how to start making music here)

film and filmmaking (karsten runquist’s channel is wonderful for film analysis,  learn about cinematography basics here and film history here)

painting (acrylic painting, sketchbook illustration. you could challenge yourself to fill an entire sketchbook/create a piece every day or week, or to improve a specific technique) 

Every resource linked is free (if you click on the links you can get Skillshare for free for two months and cancel anytime), so all you need is some free time and lots of motivation!!

I’m very happy to be announcing this to you all, and will be working on my Japanese for this challenge – so excited to see what you all and I will do and how far we can come!

Use #30dol as the general tag, and add your field (your specific subject, or writing, painting, lang(uages), pho(tography), film, book, design) to find people doing something similar! Though honestly one of the things I’m most excited about is the multidisciplinary aspect - we are such a brilliant and colorful community :)

Have fun guys!!
