how do you choose who to donate to? it always feels like such an awful choice, everyone needs it so badly but i can only give to a few people at a time with what i have. how does anyone choose who to help, or how much to give each person?
gazafunds.com loads a randomized fundraiser for people with this anxiety
you could also buy esims for Gazans or donate to Gaza Municipality Project
สวัสดีปีใหม่ = Happy new year
สวัสดี sà-wàt-dee = hello
ปี bpee = year
ใหม่ mài = new
In Thai, adjectives come after the noun if it’s in attributive form, like “new year” it’s “year new” in Thai.
Also you can’t use the verb to be “ เป็น ” with adjectives, to say “I am happy” you just say:
ฉันมีความสุข
ฉัน chǎn = I, me (for woman)
มีความสุข mee kwaam sùk = happy
So that would be “ I happy”
On to the silly Thai names of GMM series :)

MU-TE-LUV โปรดใช้วิจารณญาณในการรักเธอ-Please use your discretion in loving her.

Oh . . thanks for letting me know, op.
Hi! So I’ve been learning spanish on my own for about a year now and I feel like I’m not retaining anything. I can only remember random words. I was wondering if you know of some methods that can help me not only retain it but also understand the language more
This is one of those things that is probably something flashcards would help with
There are a few apps that you can use that work as translators + let you add flashcards. Some are free, some aren't. I know there's one called Readlang (I haven't used it so I couldn't tell you how good it is) that lets you look up things as you're reading and make flashcards for them if you want
There's also Memrise which is flashcard based courses or lists you can make for yourself, or you can take other people's courses - I find it helpful but it's also essential to write the gender of the noun otherwise you might get confused if you don't fully know those rules
I built a lot of my vocabulary through reading and writing things down to look up, and looking at synonyms. I used a lot of WordReference, Linguee, and Wiktionary
I also now use SpanishDict or ContextoReverso as my online dictionaries or to look up phrases/translations, as well as Linguee which is a bit more formal in places
But overall I think consistency tends to help the most, doing it enough times that it sticks like with conjugations
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
https://www.healthline.com/health/air-embolism#outlook
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
i-
….thank you tumblr??
hm.
I legit thought this was a shitpost until I saw the rest of the comments
I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, too.
Well I never
As a general rule of thumb, do not push air into any bodily orifice, regardless of gender. It never ends well. Air compressors and the human body do NOT mix.
Not even the mouth, shit can rupture a lung.
I’m asexual but reblogging to potentially save lives
is no one going to mention that the google image above vaginal embolism is 4 people fucking scuba diving? are we not going to mention that at all?
how to take better notes during fast-paced lectures
taking better notes during fast-paced lectures can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you keep up:
abbreviations and symbols: create a personal shorthand system. for example, use “w/” for “with,” “b/c” for “because,” and arrows (→) to show relationships. this can significantly speed up your note-taking.
focus on main ideas: listen for key points and concepts rather than trying to transcribe everything. lecturers often emphasize important information through repetition, changes in tone, or visual aids. pay attention to these cues.
structured methods:
cornell method: divide your page into three sections: a narrow left column for cues, a wider right column for notes, and a bottom section for a summary. during the lecture, jot down main points in the right column. after the lecture, add cues and a summary.
outline method: use headings and subheadings to organize information hierarchically. this helps in understanding the relationship between topics.
mind mapping: create a visual representation of the lecture content. start with a central idea and branch out with related concepts. this method is particularly useful for visual learners.
leave space: if you miss something, leave a gap and move on. you can fill in the details later, either from the textbook, recordings, or discussions with classmates.
record the lecture: if your lecturer allows it, recording can be a lifesaver. you can listen to the lecture again to fill in any gaps in your notes. just make sure to review the recording soon after the lecture while the material is still fresh in your mind.
review and revise: go over your notes as soon as possible after the lecture. this helps reinforce the material and allows you to clarify any points you didn’t fully understand. consider rewriting or typing up your notes to organize them better.
active listening: engage with the lecture by asking questions and participating in discussions. this not only helps you understand the material better but also makes it easier to remember.
use technology: apps like evernote, onenote, or notability can help you organize and search your notes efficiently. some apps even allow you to record audio and sync it with your notes.
do you have any specific challenges with note-taking? let me know in the comments.

Mastering the It Girl Life on Campus/ at school : Confidence, Class, and Style
On-Campus Essentials: Sophisticated and Ready to Conquer
Structured mini tote – Think sleek and polished. Choose something that says "I'm on my game" while fitting your essentials: a slim laptop, your chic planner, and a pair of sunnies.
Signature scent – A travel-sized luxury perfume, like Byredo or Le Labo. It leaves a lasting impression without overpowering.
Hydro flask in a neutral tone – Hydration, but make it aesthetic. Bonus points if it matches your outfit.
Protein bar or matcha to-go – Snacks are essential, but we’re keeping it elevated. Opt for a protein bar with clean ingredients or a homemade matcha latte in a reusable tumbler.
AirPods Max or sleek earbuds – Perfect for tuning out the noise between classes with a curated podcast or chill playlist, keeping your energy cool and collected.
In Class: Own the Room with Confidence and Intelligence
Effortless note-taking setup – Digital is where it’s at. Use a tablet with a stylus for sleek, organized notes that sync across all your devices. Bonus: it looks high-tech and minimalistic.
Command attention – Sit where you can engage, but it’s not about the front row anymore—it’s about being present and prepared. Contribute thoughtfully when needed, and stay poised.
All-in-one app for organization – Ditch the old-school planner. Use an app like Notion or Google Calendar to sync your schedule, assignments, and deadlines. Effortlessly keep everything streamlined and on point.
Refined confidence – Instead of always speaking up, choose your moments wisely. Command attention through well-thought-out points that showcase your intellect, not just participation.
Breaks Between Classes: Elevate Your Downtime
Mini face mist – A refreshing face mist with a subtle scent keeps your skin hydrated and glowing, giving you a post-class refresh. Think Tatcha or a rose water mist.
Quick mirror check – Always have a compact mirror to do a quick hair and lip check. It's about looking polished and put together without effort.
Reset with movement – Walk around campus to stay energized, but with intention. Pop in your favorite playlist, take in the surroundings, and use this time to clear your mind before the next task.
Digital declutter – Use breaks to clear out any unnecessary tabs, update your notes, or respond to quick emails. Keeping your digital life tidy is the new version of looking organized.

Hey there, me collecting a bunch of resources that has helped a bunch of people but isn’t helpful to you personally (valid), is actually not a personal attack on you and you could easily just have scrolled past it and moved on with your day instead of getting guilt trippy in the tags. Just a tip for future reference!
My favorite YouTube Channels to learn Japanese:
Japanese Ammo with Misa
I love learning with her videos, she has grammar videos, kanji and vocabulary videos and also song lyric videos and much more for all levels of Japanese learners. She includes lots of detail in her videos and is very easy to understand and listen to. All her videos have subtitles in kanji, furigana and English.
2. Miku Real Japanese
Miku has lots of videos that include grammar, quizzes, culture and listening practice. She organizes her videos into 3 parts: dialogue/skit, explanation and practice questions. I also like that she makes videos to practice listening to Japanese without any English except for subtitles.
3. Popo Kids
This channel has lots of children's books to listen to and read. It is great to learn simple but useful, everyday phrases. I learn lots of vocabulary for events, foods, animals, colors, and places.
4. Watercolor by Shibasaki
This is a more hobby related way to learn Japanese. Since I like to do watercolor painting, I wanted to learn vocabulary related to my favorite hobby. He speaks in Japanese and has English subtitles to go along in his video. I use his videos for listening practice and also take notes on vocabulary.
5. Life Where I'm From
This channel is not to learn the Japanese language but to learn about Japanese culture. He makes videos about various Japanese events, places and traditions including learning about rural Japan, Japanese school lunches, various Japanese foods and religion in Japan. There is a great variety of topics to learn about and understand the various situations Japanese people encounter.
I hope this list helps you to find a new resource to learn Japanese from😉

Some notes on language - We Are คือเรารักกัน
I decided to rewatch the TanFang scenes in We Are because I had nothing better to do and I'm obsessed with them, anyway, I wanted to share some stuff I noticed.
Flirt/pinch - จีบ (jìip*)
I was so confused at first as to why Tan was making that hand sign but basically the jìip in จีบนิ้ว 🤏 (roughly 'pinch fingers') is the same word as jìip as in to flirt/hit on.
Face/pizza - หน้า (nâa*)
In the English subtitles Tan says '...I thought of him, when I ordered pizza I wanted him as my topping' however in Thai he specifically says he thought of/missed (the word 'to thinking of' and 'to miss' are the same in Thai) Fangs face. In Thai when you're talking about pizza types/topping you literally say 'face [topping]', for example cheese/ margherita pizza is หน้าชีส (lit. face cheese), which is where the pizza joke comes in.
Disc/slice vs glasses - แว่น (wɛ̂ɛn*)
Pretty straight forward, same word two meanings. Fang wanted Pun and Mick to cut the tomatoes the same way they had cut the onions but they cut them into glasses instead.
*Paiboon transliteration system
How To Read and Understand Japanese Sentences.
As you know, Japanese language is a SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) pattern while English is SVO pattern.
Some learners may know a good amount of vocabulary words but they still cannot understand the meaning of a sentence even if they know how to read every single word in that sentence. Why is that so?
This may be due to learners reading the wrong way. In order to understand Japanese sentences, follow the following steps:
1. Identify the subject with the noun followed by either a は or が. (Usually in the beginning of a sentence but there are some writers who purposely put the subject in the middle.)
2. Read the end of the sentence to locate the verb. Yes, you read this right. Just go straight to the end of the sentence to identify the verb.
Example:
私はその人を常に先生と呼んでいた。
In this sentence, the subject is 「私は」。Next, go straight to the end and identify the verb
Here, the verb is 「呼んでいた」 which means "called".
So now, you know what the subject is doing with 私は and 呼んでいた which means "I called."
Next, read the rest of the middle part 「その人を常に先生と…」 meaning "that person always teacher"
The whole sentence means "I always called that person as teacher."
Note: This sentence is the first opening line from the Japanese classic literature novel 「こころ」 by 夏目漱石。

my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!
as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.
it’s apparently maintained/created by SIL International, an evangelical Christian organization whose purpose in documenting languages and developing reading material in them is to support missionary efforts, which is probably why the only available books in Gaelic and Welsh are what look to be a combination of machine translated prologues plus the text of the Bible and the only book in Ojibwe is a retelling of the story of Joseph.
yikes, i wasn’t aware of that! i had only glanced over the selection of texts for kirghiz, and didn’t notice anything notable. that’s good to know—reblogging for anyone who saw this post on my blog but wasn’t aware of that, and might change their opinion because of it.
While catching up on We Are, I made a cheat sheet for me to refer back to and thought I might as well share 🤷♀️
