owo what’s this?
wri-ham is a chill writing server for people who would be award-winning published authors if not for the voice telling them that somehow, they’re worse than stephen king.
this is a low commitment, zero pressure zone to gently ease writers into the habit of, well, writing. we try not to focus on concepts, quality or even the amount of wordsーthe point is writing regularly enough to build confidence in your skills and finally reaching your full potential. it’s a completely new server with no requirements to join, so come chill with us! ♡

U kno what???? Honestly?? All jokes side about the Duolingo owl, Duolingo is one of the only language education services I know of that doesn’t charge for the full course and I really think we don’t appreciate that enough in a world where knowledge is severely (and increasing) restricted based on income. I just went through the app store and downloaded every language app I can find, and the only two that didn’t charge hefty subscription fees to access all the lessons were duolingo and memrise. Support free education.

these are the five browser extensions (that aren’t momentum) i use the most as a university student! if anyone has recommendations for any other extensions, please drop them below :)
midterms are coming up.
“The fall of a language is set in motion when [bilinguals] begin to take more seriously what they read in English. It is set in motion when, for example, they turn to English-language media to learn about critical international events and use the media of their own country only to find out the results of home sports games or follow home celebrity gossip. It’s set in motion when bilinguals hurry to order a heavyweight English-language book attracting media attention before it comes out in translation, while neglecting fine books written in their own language. (Watching American or British television dramas rather than their own is not unconnected to this process.) Finally, because they have gradually become accustomed to making light of what is written in their own language, bilinguals start taking their own country’s literature less seriously than literature written in English—especially the classics of English literature, which are evolving into the universal canon. A vicious cycle then begins. The more palpable this trend becomes, the more non-English writers would feel that writing in their own language will not reach the readers they are aiming for. […] Through the process of negative selection, writers who continue writing in their own language would be those whose books do not deserve to be called texts. This cycle, once it began, could only gain in force. Not only bilinguals but true readers of literature—not mere consumers of books—would eventually cease to expect their own language to bear the intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic burdens it once did.”

To all my freshman babies who are panicking right now about how much your college textbooks cost: Yeah, you’re right, that’s some highway robbery. No, you don’t have to lie down and take it. You have options. Follow my advice and fly on your own debt free wings.
1. Forgoe the bookstore entirely. Sometimes you can get a good deal on something, usually a rental, but it’s usually going to be considerably more expensive to go through official channels. Outsmart them, babies.
2. Does your syllabus call for edition eight? Get edition seven. Old editions are considered worthless in the buyback trades, so they sell for dirt cheap, no matter how new they are. It’s a gamble, sure; there might be something in edition eight you desperately need, but that never happened to me. However, I’ve only ever pulled this stunt for literature/mass comm/religious studies books, so I don’t know it would work in the sciences.
3. Thriftbooks.com, especially for nonfiction and fiction. Books are usually four or five dollars unless they’re really new, and shipping is 99 cents unless you buy over 10$ in books, in which case shipping is free.
4. Bigwords.com. It will scan every textbook seller on the internet for the lowest price available, and will do the same to find the highest price when you try to sell your books back at the end of term. Timesaver, lifesaver.
5. In all probability, your library offers a service called interlibrary loan which is included in your tuition. This means if your library doesn’t carry a book you can order it for free from any library nationwide in your library’s network and it will be shipped to you in a number of days. Ask a librarian to show you how to search for materials at your library as well as though interlibrary loan; you’ll need to master this skill soon anyway. If you get lucky you can just have your required reading shipped to you a week before you need to start reading, then renew vigorously until you no longer need to item. I’m saving over 100$ on a History of Islam class this way.
You professors might side-eye you for bringing an old edition or a library copy, but you just smile right back honey, because you can pay your rent and go clubbing this month. You came here to win. So go forth and slay.
Can I add to this? 6. Find PDFs of your book to store on your computer. I managed to find an up-to-date edition of my textbook for sociology by doing this, and other books for other classes. It may be risky to have to look high and low for them, but it’s a godsend trust me
Other things to help college-bound kidlets:
Get Windows Office free.
If you’re having a panic attack.
When you’re writing a term paper.
Cheap school/college things. (Not all links are active, but still.)
College tips.
Cheap or free college books
Hobbies. (Because sometimes you need to turn off your brain.)
Libre Office. (Because Windows sucks.)
Practice in case you’re attacked.
If you have to deal with cops. (Especially important for POC because racism is still alive, sadly.)
also, you know those offers you sometimes get from youtubers for a big discount on a VPN subscription? take it, and use it.
just don’t use it for illegal torrenting and don’t get familiar with sites like the pirate bay. piracy is bad mmmkay.
this is going to sound ridiculous but guess what saved me $300 on ONE book for a fucking LIT class during my final quarter in college:
The library at your school PROBABLY has a copy of your textbook or of a recent edition. Wait until you’ve got your syllabus, go to the library, photograph the pages required for your class. If you’re only assigned 70 pages of a 300 page book it’s worth the hour you’re going to spend in the library to just go take photos on your phone.
And if you’re feeling exceptionally saucy, do the same thing in the campus bookstore.
(Less saucy than that but the library doesn’t have a copy and you can’t afford it? Split the cost with, like, 3 people from the class, photograph the pages from the syllabus, and return the book to get your shared cash back - usually you’ve got a day or two grace period in case you drop the class)
I know a lot of classes require a textbook that has a login code or some similar bullshit and this won’t help with that, but hopefully it will help with some of what you’re dealing with.
Also if you’re taking lit classes generic editions are almost always fine EXCEPT for Riverside and Norton editions. It’s generally not going to really matter if you get a $2 used penguin edition of Pride & Prejudice for a 200 level class; it IS going to matter if you get something other than the Riverside Chaucer or the Norton Hamlet for a 400 level class.
I found this online and I love it.
