death of subcultures and death of third places are directly connected and you can’t convince me otherwise

[asra-null]

Instead of subcultures now, we have "aesthetics" because when you can't create a community, all that's left is appearing to be in one

[scuderiabutch]

aesthetics are created to be bought and consumed, it's capitalism at its finest, it's just vibe with no culture

I feel like there is this myth about langblrs and language learners that you see online, that they are studying their target languages all the time, all day, at every second they get. That they are perfect learners who never get it wrong, even if you know they do.

No, we are human, we procrastinate and get tired or bored too. 

We are just like everyone else. I may love a language and find it hard to be motivated or have energy to study or do something in that language, specially in the lower levels when I can’t just watch a YouTube video or whatever in the language.

We are human!

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S.
