My friend needs your feedback!! He runs a website [Lingopie] where you can learn a language by watching TV shows and movies.

As a polyglot, he is super passionate about learning and teaching languages and wants to help students and language learners succeed. He has been working on this project 24/7, so your feedback would make his day! Here is the problem:

His website is still young, so they have limited funds to obtain licenses for movies and television shows. To help as many people as possible, he is wondering what languages you would like to learn or have exams for, so he can focus on expanding the media collection for these languages. I really like him and want his project to succeed, so I created a form where you can vote.

The following languages are available at the moment: Japanese 🇯🇵, Korean 🇰🇷, Spanish 🇪🇸, French 🇫🇷, German 🇩🇪, Italian 🇮🇹, Portuguese 🇵🇹 and English 🇺🇸

Which language are you most interested in? Please vote here!

[hopelessbutcoping]

but...do they have any lgbtq shows?

[atlasmountaingirl]

Not yet, but I just asked and he said he would love to obtain licensing if there is enough interest!!!

I have updated the form. You can vote HERE (X)

[c-again]

[madseance]

That's because he didn't write, nor intend to write, a horrible terrible disturbed woman beyond redemption. The genesis of Carrie (told in its entirety in the 1999 edition's introduction that you can read here, and in King's memoir On Writing), was this: sometime in high school, King read an article in Life magazine about supposed poltergeist activity in a home, which seemed to be associated with the teenage girl who lived there. The article included the hypothesis that poltergeist activity is, in some way, tapped into or manifested by girls at that critical and tumultuous age.

And some years before that, King had gone to school with a couple of girls he pseudonymously calls Tina and Sandra, who were bullied and shunned by the other kids—Tina for wearing the same clothes every day, Sandra for her epilepsy and extremely religious mother, but both really for having some undefinable Other quality that kids pick up on like blood in the water. Both of them were dead by the time King began writing Carrie: Tina by suicide, Sandra from her epilepsy.

Carrie was what King imagined might have happened if that explanation of poltergeist activity were correct, and if Tina and Sandra had been able to tap into such an energy. He started writing the story a few years after getting married (his wife Tabitha is also a writer), but abandoned the idea a few pages in; the raw, merciless adolescent cruelty the story called for was too much to deal with, and what did he know about teenage girls, anyway? But Tabitha dug the pages out of the trash and read them, and convinced him it was a story that needed telling.

Carrie is a story which, perhaps like poltergeist activity, could only happen to a girl on the brink of womanhood, when every emotion and sensation is excruciatingly vivid and nothing makes sense anymore and every single occurrence in your life is the most important thing that will ever happen to you. It's about being horribly powerful and vulnerable at the same time, and alienated from your own body. It's about the visceral, starved animal fear and rage of being a teenage girl, and it goes to show what an arcane and powerful craft creative writing is that a man could manage to capture that without having experienced it firsthand.

"Sometimes—quite often, in fact—I wish that Tina and Sandy were alive to read it," King says in the 1999 introduction to Carrie. "Or their daughters."

This explains so much about why 20 somethings are just unable to read to any level of complexity beyond a tweet. The miserable failure of US pedagogy

[lesb0]

They didn’t teach children phonics for TWENTY YEARS because they just hoped this “balanced literacy” bs would magically work out???

[lesb0]

this still kills me. 20 years. that’s nearly every public school gen z kid in the US

[iirulancorrino]

There’s a really good five-part podcast series about this that recently came out from American Public Media called Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went so Wrong. It does a great job of explaining this issue and goes into the political situation and profit motives that kept balanced literacy going for so long even when there was, this can’t be emphasized enough, *zero research* to back it up.

One of my personal big takeways from listening to this was the danger of turning facets of education policy into politicized issues along left/right lines–according to this podcast one of the reasons for why phonics didn’t catch on earlier is because it was being promoted by the second Bush administration, which led to teachers unions and other left-of-center people to be suspicious of it. I think that’s really unfortunate and sadly we saw that same dynamic play out during the pandemic, when in so many school districts how to handle public education became a culture war battle more than anything else.

Obviously everything is political in some way and it’s always worth analyzing who is promoting which ideas–but I think when aspects of public health/science/medicine/education become polarized we all lose out because the issue becomes so much harder to analyze on their merits. And it’s especially awful when the people most impacted are children who are still developing the basic skills needed to think critically for themselves.

[lesb0]

oh that sounds worth a listen

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

I’m fucking gobsmacked. Firstly, here’s the link to the full article for anybody who wants to read the entire thing, or can’t view the image text:

The Rise and Fall of Vibes-Based Literacy

Is a controversial curriculum, entrenched in New York City’s public schools for two decades, finally coming undone?

Secondly, I’m just… is this not basically the gist of the scam in The Music Man? Y'know, where Harold Hill—who can’t play of note of music—passes himself off as a band leader, telling everyone he has a “revolutionary new method called The Think System where you don’t bother with notes,” and says ““If you want to play the Minuet in G, think the Minuet in G”? Like sure, context is helpful for reading, but having it be the basis is… WILD. I’m so sorry Gen Z 😭

[idk-my-aesthetic]

Guys. Guys is this not how you learned to read. Bc this is how I learned to read.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

NO THIS IS NOT HOW WE LEARNED TO READ WHAT THE FUCK

In the rest of the English-speaking world, children are taught to read phonically. There are multiple systems for this, from “winging it based on usage” to structured, tiered systems like Jolly Phonics. They’re taught the sounds that letters make, then the sounds that dipthongs and unusual combinations (like “magic E vowels”) make, and they are taught how to string the sounds together to sound out the words. Common words with unusual spellings/rules (or just really common words that the kid needs to know before they know the relevant rules, like “the” and “should”) are taught as “sight words” and expected to be memorised rote (although research suggests that children don’t memorise these words, but memorise whatever the tricky part is as an exception and read them normally, by phonically sounding them out in their head). This is so that children can get to reading common sentences and simple stories as quickly as possible, providing them with valuable practice and motivation.

As children get practice reading over many years, the most common words get memorised via repetition, and new words are sounded out and memorised if they come up enough. (This is why it’s common for people who read more than they watch tv/converse to mispronounce words for many years – I was over 20 before I knew the correct pronunciation of ‘misled’ or ‘rendezvous’.)

We certainly weren’t taught to check the first letter and then guess based on vibes. If you read like that then there’s no point in the rest of the word being written down. How would you learn new words and advance your skill that way?

[headspace-hotel]

Well, this explains a lot about how people in my notes process my posts.

[headspace-hotel]

hurts my soul to see "witchy" content that's lists of plants and their meanings and it's like.

[plant that is only from europe]

[plant that is only from europe]

[entire family of plants with thousands of species]

[common name that means like 4 totally different plants]

[generalized plant word that doesn't even refer to anything specific]

[entire family of plants again]

[plant that is only from europe]

[incomprehensible common name that i don't even know what it is]

[headspace-hotel]

plants are going to "mean" something different depending on where in the world you are, because you're talking about different species and/or different roles in the ecosystem!!!

there is all kinds of meaning in plants and in nature but you have to observe them as part of the natural world or else it's kinda arbitrary

[afloweroutofstone]

Doing some deep reading into Cherokee history for the project that I'm working on and I am continually amazed how fucking funny old Cherokee leaders were

[snommelp]

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

[themightytej]

Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.

if you scroll past this just because it doesn’t affect you personally, i see you.

[dovewithscales]

Also, you can always go to court and contest a ticket, and a lot of times you’ll win. Or if the cop thinks you’ll win they won’t even show up and you’ll win by default.

They like to target out of state plates because anyone who would be majorly inconvenienced by a court date two months away is a lot more likely to just pay it.

[th3d0n]

The $100-200 it usually costs to hire a ticket attorney is well worth it.

[antimasculist]

extremely extremely tiring to be around people who just vehemently hate themselves. nobody benefits from you acting like this. cruelty to the self is still cruelty. if i was at an art gallery admiring a piece by van gogh or in a library reading a beautiful poem and you walked up to me and went Ewww thats so bad... you think its good? youre wrong its really bad :/ you would be a certified piece of fucking shit it is not different just bc its your creation instead of someone else's. if a stranger walked up to me and started ranting about how they thought my friend was annoying and ugly i would punch them in the gut. it is not different just because you are saying this about yourself. nobody wants to hear it

[antimasculist]

fucking say something true and beautiful for once im sick of it. you know

[antimasculist]

paraphrasing my tags from another reblog chain here but this does not come from a place of ignorance. i am intimately familiar with self hatred and the mindset that leads people to talk like this and the REASON i stopped acting like a jackass and spouting this shit 24/7 is because i realized that it was not just about me. it was hurting other people. and i made the concious decision to stop doing that and to begin the proccess of training myself out of those thought patterns and out of saying that stuff. im not telling you to Just Stop but i am saying you CAN. you are not a slave to your mental illness you have agency over your life and your behaviors - your mental illness may make it more difficult to do certain things but that doesnt mean you dont have a responsibility to TRY if it's hurting other people.

[redvelvetrevolver]

One of the things that drives me away from a relationship most is if I give the other. person a compliment and they reject it. 

“You’re so handsome.” “No I’m not.” 

I see it and feel it the exact same way as if I said “What a beautiful sunset” and someone said “No it’s not, it’s ugly.” I was in a place of joy and you just injected something very unpleasant and life-denying into that space and that hurts.

I am here appreciating the world. You, as a human being, are part of that world. You’re a natural phenomenon and people have a right to find you beautiful and good and worthy. That is an expression of THEIR joy and enjoyment of the world. They are not incorrect. 

They are expressing their aliveness and ability to perceive, they are right in the heart of what makes it worthwhile and joyful to be alive, and you should not come to that special place within someone you love and tell them it’s wrong to feel the way they feel.

I totally get that it may sound fake and ridiculous to you when someone compliments you, and it’s ok to acknowledge that. “I know you mean it when you say it, but my brain won’t let me believe it right now. But thank you. I will keep trying.” 

But ultimately, the goal is to get to a place where you can just say “thank you.”

Under the Skin: Shape-Changing in Mexican Folklore

Witches in European folklore fly through the air on broomsticks, but in Latin America they change shapes, turning into different animals. This belief in shape-changing sorcerers, which is present i…

In Latin America witches change shapes, turning into different animals. This belief in shape-changing sorcerers, which is present in many Indigenous communities across Mexico seems to be based on old Prehispanic concepts of the animal, the soul and the self.

The Aztecs spoke of a nahualli or nahual, an animal double that we all possess.  Nahual is a sorcerer who can transform into an animal,

The nahual is always a creature of evil. It drinks the blood of people, often children, and spreads disease. Nahuales, when they transform into predators, such as coyotes, may also threaten a farmer’s livelihood. My great-grandmother told me you had to watch out and make sure the nahuales didn’t eat the chickens. Fighting off nahuales could be dangerous. Although they seemed to be more vulnerable in their animal form, they were not to be trifled with. The nahual derives from central-Mexican cultures, but the Mayan people of southern Mexico also have an equivalent sorcerer: the way chivo (sometimes spelled huay chivo). The way chivo is a sorcerer who can transform into a goat.

Sorcerers also transform into other animals, including birds and dogs. In fact, there seems to be no limit to the type of animal shape a person can acquire: there are stories of sorcerers becoming pigs. I haven’t come across stories of women as way chivos, so there might be some gendering of the role, although women do transform into other animals. These Mayan sorcerers, just like the central Mexican ones, perform their misdeeds during the cover of night. They turn into animals by spinning nine times in their place or by taking off their heads. Their predilections seem to vary quite a bit. Sorcerer-pigs like to scare people and kill animals. Sorcerer-cats lick the faces of young women making them ill so that they waste away. The sorcerer-goat seems rather versatile: I’ve heard he does everything from eating children to haunting cemeteries. The way to deal with these sorcerers varies. Some people say you must use salt, for example, rubbing bullets with a cross of salt. My great-grandmother’s remedy for dealing with nahuales was to put a pair of open scissors beneath the bed.

Just as the Aztec idea of animal doubles might have inspired the creation of these shape-shifting sorcerers, ancient Mayan beliefs about human souls might have inspired the modern way chivo. For example, the people of Chamula believe every person has an animal double and whatever happens to your animal double affects you. The Maya of Zinacatan believe humans have multiple souls, one of which is an animal.

Dogs are also associated with the Underworld, both in Mayan and Aztec mythology. They accompany the souls of the dead in their journey into the afterlife. Mayan and Aztec burials sometimes included dogs, so that they might assist the deceased in their voyage.

In communities folklore continue to be living, breathing things.

In Gods of Jade and Shadow, my novel set in 1920s Mexico, the protagonist Casiopea Tun meets several magical beings, including a way chivo. If you pay close attention, almost every character in the book is also associated with an animal. The way chivo is obvious (it’s a goat, of course), some of the other associations are more subtle. Although animal transformations ultimately play a small role in the overall arc of my novel, Gods of Jade and Shadow is utilizing old and complex ideas about animals and mirror images.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Mexican Gothic, Gods of Jade and Shadow, Untamed Shore, and many other books. She has also edited several anthologies, including the World Fantasy Award-winning She Walks in Shadows (a.k.a. Cthulhu’s Daughters).

[aztecamemoria]

Its called nahualli in classical Nahuatl and nagualism in more modern practices. The concept of you having an animal that shares it’s soul with you. Sorcerers (brujas y brujos) can transform into the animal that shares their soul [nahualli]. They resemble the concept of a personal totem and shamanic magic.

To Mesoamericans and modern Natives of Mexico animals are really important in magic. In traditional Aztec thought everyone has a nahualli, animal that shares it’s soul with you. However, a good sorcerer can obtain more nahualli. Though it will never share it’s soul like the one you were born with. You can obtain other nahualli through ritual, by stealing someone else’s nahualli, or as a gift from the gods.

One sort of ritual to get another nahualli is to hunt, kill, and eat what animal you want. By eating the animal [or even a person] in magical thought was to “take it’s power” for yourself. [Think you are what you eat.] Life sustained on life, the cycle continues.

Animals are so important in magical thought amongst the people of Mexico that where you’re places on the social ladder would have to do with your nahualli. The frequently seen animals [mice, skunks, pigs, cows, rabbits, etc] by humans represent commoners. Regular folk that make up the majority. The uncommonly seen animals represent the middle class [coyotes, ocelotls etc]. The most powerful people on the social ladder [noble/ruling class] and the most powerful sorcerers are the infrequently, often times nocturnal, animals. [jaguar, owl, bear etc] The most powerful and elusive of all these animals being the jaguar who is held at the highest level amongst most people in ancient and modern Mexico. Anybody with the born nahualli of a jaguar is thought to be endowed with being a powerful sorcerer and skilled at magic naturally.

A “witch” is defined as a person, usually female, who only uses magic to harm. Most people use magic to cure, but also use witchcraft [harmful magic] and curing. These people are usually identified as curers and their practice is past done to apprentices.

Practices and beliefs have the beliefs of Catholicism mixed in with PreColombian beliefs of Natives, such as the Aztecs and Mayans. This happens in rural Mexico.

To Mesoamericans and modern Mexicans reality is an appearance.  Any sorcerer/witch/skilled magic user knows that there is layers of reality under this one. That’s why there is 9 layers of the underworld and 13 layers of the heavens. While the main cormos is consisted of earth, heaven, and the underworld. [Earth is middle, underworld below, and heaven above.] Most of magic in Mexico and pre-colombia Mexico used the practice called dream working. Where you use your dreams to manipulate reality, gather information, or cure someone and so forth. Rituals may take place in the waking world, while the rest takes place in the other one, the realm of dreams, where the sorcerer or curer can travel to the underworld if needed. Caves, mirrors, and water are thought to be portals in this otherworld. If one can’t travel to the underworld or otherworld in dreams, one would do a ritual in a cave or the cave’s entrance for example.

The appearance of reality, layers of realities with in reality, is perhaps a very important part of magical practice. Trickery and illusions in Mesoamerican magic is very much used and valued. The god of sorcerers himself, Tezcatlipoca, often used trickery, which included appearance based magic to get what he wanted. [His nahualli is also a jaguar] These types of things are a good skill to learn if one travels to the otherworld or underworld, as one would encounter demons and spirits with ulterior motives. Also, stealth is a skill to be acquired so that one would not be seen by beings that might harm one.

In theory one can influence reality through the otherworld. Like a ripple effect when you through a stone into water. In the dream world you can turn into your nahualli, become in tune with it, and use its skills. This is especially useful if you have a flying type nahualli, which can go into the heavens better and travel at a better speed.

Animism is a concept, that everything has a spirit. Even inanimate objects. This is useful in incantations where you state your intention and will. Its how you make objects yours and how you direct their energy, as well as purifying.

Amongst the otomi it is thought that you should do your best not to influence people too negatively, because you may attract the attention of a witch. That is you should blend in.

[hiswitchcraft]

i keep telling myself to start a dream journal but i haven’t had a dream since last september

How Do I Start A Dream Journal or Dream Interpretation if I Don't Dream?

This is a concern I get fairly often so I think it's about time I make an official post on it!

Record Any & All Dreams

The first thing I would suggest is record your dreams no matter what. Even if they don't happen often or it takes you another year to have one. You need to work with whatever material you can get and get in the habit of interpreting if that's something you're interested in. In my personal experience I have also found that recording my dreams and focusing my energy on them has increased the rate they happen and the clarity of them.

Increasing Dreams

The next thing I would suggest is doing things to increase the rate in which you dream. Getting a deeper, better quality of sleep can help you dream which is something mundane you may consider. There are also many witchy ways to increase dreams! Plants & Herbs There are many plants and herbs that can encourage good sleep and dreams. You may hang these by where you sleep or use them in one of the methods I go over below. I would suggest chamomile, lavender, jasmine, passionflower or willow for this purpose. Be sure to research ANY plant that you plan to work with or ingest and talk to your doctor. Make sure it won't cause a generally negative reaction, allergic reaction, or render your medications ineffective. Teas I find a hot cup of herbal tea before bed helps my anxiety and quality of sleep and therefore helps me dream. There are also certain kinds of tea that make me dream very intensely, and there are spells involving tea for dreaming. You may consider this as an option and it may required some experimenting to see what reacts with your body the best. This is a specific usage of the plants I mentioned above that you may consider. See the warning in bold above before working with any plants. Sachets A sachet specifically is a very common spell structure to increase good sleep and dreaming. Doing a sleep or dream sachet spell is an option you might consider to ultimately increase the rate at which you dream. The plants mentioned above in purple text may be used in a sachet spell but also see the warning in bold above before working with any plants. Other spells Sachet spells are the most common form of spell I feel I see for sleep/dreaming but I'm sure there are other structures of spells used for this purpose. You might also consider creating your own spell for this purpose if you're at that point in your path. The plants mentioned above in purple text may be used in a spell for dreaming but also see the warning in bold above before working with any plants.

Final Thoughts

Once you get in the habit of recording and possibly interpreting any dreams you have and work towards increasing the rate you dream a sort of snowball effect will eventually kick in. You record what you do dream, putting your intent and energy towards dreaming more so you dream a little more often. You'll also be pushing your energy towards this when you try to increase dreaming with one of the methods above even if it's a less successful method. Hopefully you'll eventually find a method that works, increasing your dreams by a lot and giving you more material to record. Then the cycle starts again. It might take weeks or months but keep at it! Dream work is beautiful and very powerful. It's unfortunately overlooked I feel. Good luck! I hope this helps.

Lilith

This poison tastes familiar, oh it's your blood.

When you have strong Lilith (true) in your chart, with sun/moon/ascendent especially hard aspects. Lilith themes would be so prominent in your life. Further, other aspects are to be considered, whether you have darker planets/squares more or soft/harmonic chart.

You being an outcast especially the events which involve interactions. Either you would be alone or would be able to get along with everybody but nobody is like you (you relate to neither of them).

The men wanting you, at the same time disregarding your feelings, your ambition even. Like trying to say 'what would you achieve while doing it. They don't look at how talented you are.

All or none principle. Either you would simp over a man for 100 years or you could never bat an eye to that person if you wanted to. You have that strong detachment, where nothing can get to your heart.

Being alone as you grow while your inner self just screams to let herself out. The urge gets stronger and stronger, until one final day it all pours.

Men getting in relationships/involved with another person who they seem to like a lot while you are associated with them. You could be friends or just started to like them and boom! They are committed. It happens as soon as you have certain amount of feelings, be it be romantic or platonic. This is a major theme as it happened with Lilith.

You leave an impact that no person can ever come close to. A place is reserved for you specially in the hearts. Because Lilith is what we fear but if handled properly, gives us so much. Just like how you achieve everything once you overcome your fear.

Harmonious aspects especially Lilith conjunct ascendent can get slightly addicted to the attention. You lose yourself. Because conjunctions are a smooth road, you don't realise things easily. In a sense, forgetting how things go when you get involved too much.

With squares, they hate it, even if it comes a bit close, the square is like a speed breaker and reminds of how things actually are. They avoid eye contacts at all costs. However, if they are insecure, they could be like conjunctions subconsciously.

Distorted view on s*x and related themes. Because, you came across them too soon, for someone who had barely even started to understand themselves. You never understand why people see you as the way they do.

Seen as someone with an agenda, wanting to harm them, people get so defensive, even if you get in a relationship, your person would be 100% possessive, you make them. Unless you have softer planetary aspects in your chart. It could be hell if you had fierce/dark planets or way too soft planets. Moon/Venus influence along with Lilith is a freaking magnet.

Having a dark beauty, a dark touch to everything. Your art would automatically be in a dark undertone. Dark circles (I only observed them with negative aspects). Skin so gorgeous, almost anyone getting attracted to it. The walk of the serpent.

People can never know when you enter, like you do so swiftly. Even when you walk, you make no sound but your energy does. People whispering that she is here.

That one person who would be extremely rude to you, like you'd get surprised, almost. You talk to the person next to them and they would tell you off. Funny thing, you don't even know them or never bothered to.

A theory but wherever your Saturn/Capricorn sign is what people feel you don't deserve. Example- Saturn in 1st, the God body, Capricorn in 10th, the fame and the growth in your career. Only when Lilith is under harsh aspects within 3° orb.

Heavy protectors of their families. Do something to them. Nothing. Touch their family, you will regret your life. People underestimate your abilities and overestimate something you never did.

Your friends not sharing things with you, like you could see on their face they are doing because they have to. The reason being you are seen as if you have everything. I have seen no Lilith woman who didn't radiate the energy of abundance.

Fear of being left alone when you need people the most and this nightmare sometimes comes true. People never support when you actually need. In fact they feel better about themselves. For example, you never said anything on purpose in any situation to your friend, but when it happens with you, they do the exact thing you didn't wanted to do with them.

Though Lilith women are rarely like this, but they have their bad days, could be a bad habit but no one will tell them that it's wrong. Or correct them. Another thing is people purposely would post your bad pictures when you tell them not to. A thing with Lilith square ascendent.

Obsessed people but stalk from afar, never coming close because the intensity scares them. Some people really try to avoid getting on your bad side. Like you have more distant spectators than active approaching ones.

A scary menacing aura, sometimes looks when combined with Martian/Saturn influence. Because it would be so edgy then.

Your touch is warm yet cold. People can never describe the way you touch. They may really like it however. It's like you give life, only a second after to take it away.

Sometimes, you might get too trusting of people, because deep down you hope that things would not be like previous cases. But you get disappointed. It's not your fault. Everyone deserves that love so why not you! Because this is Lilith, this is how she became who she is, she learnt that she doesn't need anyone and is more than sufficient. Embrace her and she will never your side.
