I've had this site bookmarked for a while now, and though it's way more complete for the "big" languages it can always help!

This wiki is intended to provide a list of resources for people hoping to learn a language using comprehensible input. This is a wiki, so i

I love the dynamic in the Discworld fandom on this site, I think it's mainly because there are a lot of dormant fans, if you will, who've read and loved the books for years but haven't engaged much recently, who sort of reappear whenever a fun post is doing the rounds. It's fantastic. We get the cozy small fandom vibe without the screaming matches, but also get the popular posts from time to time, y'know?

YEP. In fact for some people it’s Emotions Day right now.

[datsderbunnyblog]

To everyone tagging and commenting with some variation of “Oh, I almost forgot that it’s tomorrow!”

“Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart. And today, of all days...”

That’s so very meta of you.

IT'S EMOTIONS DAY TOMORROW

[datsderbunnyblog]

#oh I need to read enough discworld to understand what emotions day is

For anyone who's confused today, I won't spoil/explain what the 25th of May is in the Discworld fandom, because I think a big part of what's special about it is the way the plot unfolds in the book.

What I will explain though is that it'll make sense when you reach a book called Night Watch, which is the 29th book in the overall series and the 6th book in the City Watch subseries. If you haven't got that far yet, just take your time and enjoy the series! If you want to start with the City Watch stories then the first book you should check out is Guards! Guards!

And have fun!

It's that time of year where this post appears again like Reg Shoe digging his way out of his own grave

“He wanted to go home. He wanted it so much that he trembled at the thought. But if the price of that was selling good men to the night, if the price was filling those graves, if the price was not fighting with every trick he knew…then it was too high.”

A glorious 25h of May to you all. Remember your lilac.

The lion concerns himself with both writing fics and studying for his exams.

The lion doesn’t concern himself with sleep, but sleep is a bastard and concerns itself with the lion.

HI THERE are you taking a levels in the UK?

Heyy! I’m not taking my a levels in the uk but I do plan to go there for uni!

honestly? didn’t do any studying today. BUT i had lunch with a friend of mine and also did session 0 of a dnd campaign ’m joining, so I think it’s a fair trade off.

february, get ready for an academic comeback the likes of which have never before been seen.

busy week and I'm still figuring out how this studyblr thing works, but I've worked out an ideal posting schedule of posting on sunday, tuesday and thursday (let's see how long I can keep it up)

did maths (logarithms), chemistry (Hess' cycle and intermolecular forces) and English (some questions regarding Orsino's character from Twelfth Night 1.1). chemistry test tomorrow so kinda nervous for that, but otherwise not a bad day

first studyblr post!

did maths (binomial expansions) and chemistry (enthalpy changes) in preparation for 2 upcoming tests. loads of practice questions but this is the academic comeback of the century, and by god am I going to make it worth it when it’s exam time.
