→ Another lang/studyblr blog REINTRODUCTION!
I started learning Japanese on my own in May of 2015, and now I have N2, unofficial N1-level Japanese. I work fully remote for a Japanese company as 正社員 and live in Sendai, Japan 🌳🏠🌳 My dream is to be like those geoguesser guys that can tell where any picture is from but with languages
shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡
連れション
つれション
going to the bathroom in a group
(Note: ション is from 小便 or しょんべん which means urine)
(Use note: This is not exactly a "nice" word to use, and it's mostly used by guys, but it is an interesting slang word so I thought I'd add it. What should I use, you ask? 一緒にトイレに行く or いっしょにトイレにいく )
確かに、日本の連れション文化は、授業中にトイレに行きたくならないよう今のうちに俺も行っておこう、お前は大丈夫か？
たしか に、にほん の つれション ぶんか は、じゅぎょうちゅう に トイレ に いきたくならない よう いま の うち に おれ も いって おこう、おまえ は だいじょうぶ か？
It’s true that Japanese bathroom group culture is like, I’d better go now so I don't have to during class later, are you good?

For everyone who ‘used to love reading’ but now hasn’t finished a book in years, you CAN get it back. Genuinely start bringing a book (preferably short and either fiction or a non fiction topic you already really enjoy) everywhere you go and when you have 5-20 mins waiting for the bus or at the doctors office or mechanic or whatever, get out your book and read it! You don’t have to finish it quickly or even read it often but it is so good for your brain and fun to get into the habit of reading more (and replacing being on your phone for those moments). Source: I read 0 books in 2023 and I’ve read 12 in the first 4 months of 2026
Quote of the day
Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors
To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.
I became a tattoo artist at 49.
Married the love of my life at 50.
Got my Class A CDL at 59.
You've got time.
As long as you're breathing, you've got time.
生産
せいさん
production; manufacture
昨年は有り余るほどの米が生産された。 さくねん は ありあまる ほど の こめ が せいさん された。 An abundance of rice was produced last year.
reminds me of the time i had to ask my coworker for the difference between 〜製 and 〜産!
日本製（にほんせい） = made/manufactured in japan
和歌山産（わかやまさん） = produced/grown in wakayama
make sense? generally, 〜製 is used for objects and 〜産 is used for produce! that's probably why the example sentence for 生産 (tokidokitokyoさん's vocab item) references a crop rather than something manmade.
If you call it a “product”, it gets 製造’d
If you call it “produce”, it gets 生産’d
10000 YEAR OLD ROCK ART OF GIRAFFES FOUND IN LIBYA LET'S GO
YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of note: 95% of libya is desert, and giraffes are not found there! but this predates not just the libyan desert, but the entire sahara desert it's a part of! giraffes aren't found there any more and this is a memory of a time when things were giraffier
also apparently this rock art dates across multiple periods spanning thousands of years? but i couldn't find much detail on that so i can't give specifics
but yeah, this isn't just a memory of giraffes, but of giraffes now absent encountered by people just 2000 years (the difference between the late roman republic and today) out of the ice age, in a climate unfamiliar to any of the hundred billion people born since the desertification of the sahara drove the ancient egyptians to the nile, near the start of the agricultural revolution
the time between this and the birth of the sahara was nearly as long as the time between the birth of the sahara and now, in which all recorded history is contained, and all languages we can recognise at all - the language and culture of these people would be totally alien to current libyans, twice the difference between the oldest european language and english, predating all but libya's mountains!
and we have pictures of giraffes of the time! what a beautiful gift from such a distant past
OH how SATISFYING to see a word like 外交 in a sentence, think "hmmm ive never seen this word before but it must be pronounced がいこう and mean diplomacy right?" and be CORRECT
and the more you know the language the more often this happens!!!!!!!
art is just iteration and reiteration and this one single paragraph changed my life
history fucked me up
oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built
I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar
You mean like this?
The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun
I grew up with this book, which is frickin’ enormous, and it was endlessly fascinating to young me to pour over the side by side comparison of events taking place concurrently under different headings and in different parts of the world.
Or if you want something you can put on your wall, there’s this:
World History Timeline
I had this book! My grandpa gave it to me and it was really freakin useful!!
I loved this book! Same for The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science.
Same for The Timetables of Technology: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Technology. Great references!
okay but here’s an even cooler (free!) visualization that goes a step further and tracks ideas, devices, infrastructures, and systems of power
Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500
✨️with a special focus on colonialism, militarization, automation, and enclosure✨️
You can spend hours upon hours exploring this
