I really like this gif because Stitch does that little squinty thing that animals do when theyâre really happy and relaxed and you can tell that heâs having such a superb time playing that little ukulele

Greetings from Bulbland. German postcards from the 1920s.
how do i make it happen ?
I just wanna wake up in a sunny city near the ocean and not too far away from the mountains so i can swim every day and go on hikes on some weekends, rent a cottage house for writing breaks. There are coffee shops and farmer markets, and also a big public library. I wake up in the morning, drink my coffee, work a little, do my workout, eat a healthy breakfast, go to uni and study/work/TA/get my MA. Iâve figured out what i wanna do with my life and how i can have a positive impact on the world. My closest friends still live far away, spread a little bit everywhere all around the world, but iâve made new cool and kind friends who are also into healthy eating and fitness and meditation and iâm financially secure and iâm learning a sixth language.Â
So far, we have (with the person who suggested it) :Â - San Diego (glasses-mgee) - Berkeley (13thpythagoras) - The Canary Islands (imayknowitall) - Washington (becausewehaveto)Â - Croatia (katja2332) - Cape Town / Durban (stanleighsnickers) - Santa Cruz (lacunar) -Â Bellingham (linguisticfishstick)Â
â[I]n celebration of [the] model minority [myth], pundits and politicians have exaggerated Asian-American âsuccess.â Their comparisons of incomes between Asians and Whites fail to recognize the regional location of the Asian-American population. Concentrated in California, Hawaii, and New York, Asian Americans reside largely in states with higher incomes but also higher costs of living than the national average: 59 percent of all Asian Americans lived in these three states in 1980, compared to only 19 percent of the general population. The use of 'family incomesâ by Reagan and others has been very misleading, for Asian American families have more persons working per families than white families. In 1980, white nuclear families in California had only 1.6 workers per family, compared to 2.1 for Japanese, 2.0 for immigrant Chinese, 2.2 for immigrant Filipino, and 1.8 for immigrant Korean⊠Thus the family incomes of Asian Americas indicate the presence of more workers in each family, rather than higher incomes. - Actually, in terms of personal incomes, Asian Americans [had] not reached equality [to those of whites]. In 1980 the mean personal income for white men in California was $23,400⊠Korean men earned only $19,200, or 82 percent of the income of white men, Chinese men only $15,900 or 68 percent, and Filipino men only $14,500 or 62 percent. In New York, the mean personal income for white men was 21,600, compared to only $18,900 or 88 percent for Korean men, $16,500 or 76 percent for Filipino men, and only $11,200 or 52 percent for Chinese men. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Chinese immigrant men earned only 72 percent of what their white counterparts earned, Filipino men 68 percent, Korean 69 percent and Vietnamese men 52 percent. The incomes of Asian American men were close to and sometimes even below those of Black men (68 percent) and Mexican American men (71 percent).â

I wanted to share this because I often see statistics floating around that Asian Americans earn more than other racial groups, including whites, and I think these facts are important to keep in mind. The statistics in this quote are dated (1980s), so they likely have changed, but itâs important to notice how statistics can be misleading and how they were skewed in the 80âČs to create this stereotype and erase struggles Asian Americans face, especially since Asian Americans are often lumped together, erasing differences.
Iâve recently taken up Spanish, so I though that Iâd share some grammar books Iâve been using so far. Maybe someone else finds them useful :) (All links lead to dropbox files)

Spanish Teacher
My Spanish teacher freshman year made me pretend to be dead for half a class period so she could demonstrate a traditional Mexican funeral.
dont you feel like you appropriate your target languages and cultures just learning them for aesthetic reasons?
literally everyone uses english for aesthetic reasons but go off i guess
also ⊠. . like some people are obsessed with writing and scripts, so when we so much as see an intriguing script we might want to learn the language for the #aesthetic. aaaaaaand the same goes for sounds you may think are cool but arenât found in your native language, so you might even be encouraged by the muses - or whatever you think it is that gives someoneâs brain the idea to be interested in something - to start learning a language you wouldnât otherwise have any connections to simply because the sounds of it speak to you.
there are a trillion different reasons why someone may choose, learn, and dedicate their time to a foreign language.Â
reblog with your own ââââdumbââââ reasons for learning a language
i started studying german, my first target lang, because a 13 year-old me wanted to marry Roger Federer
I started learning German because I have a crush on a rapper called Rin⊠I got to be backstage at one of his concerts because my sister worked at the club he played at⊠sisterâs fluent and I learned for the rapper⊠lool
i started learning spanish mostly because of the fact that the word in maltese for spanish âspanjolâ sounded nice to me when mentioned on a show (maltese people will laugh if i mention which one), and so, easily amused me started learning it at about age 9 (my mum got me some sort of a spanish for kids book and i used to go to my auntâs house to play the CDâŠthey were simpler times)
I started learning Spanish because I missed the deadline to enroll in anything else at my middle school. I wanted to take Latin or German and the school told me no. I now spend every summer at Spanish immersion camp with people from all over the world, and have earned a gold medal every time Iâve taken the National Spanish Exam. Yeah, Iâm pretty sure Iâm not just fucking around and fetishizing cultures. Iâm doing my part to connect with the rest of the world.
