hi everyone! I know this blog feels kind of impersonal since I mostly post definitions and nothing else (I don't want to clog people's dashes with all my personal posts when this isn't what they followed me for) but I wanted to make a couple of announcements

first I want to say thank you to all of you who followed me and supported this little project💛

I just reached 500 followers in barely a month and honestly I'm shocked because to me it's a lot of people in a really short time. I'm glad to see there are others who find this blog useful, it really motivates me to keep posting so thank you

the second thing I wanted to say is that as you noticed the posts are queued and that's because my lifestyle makes it impossible for me to post consistently. at this rate I should have enough posts for two more weeks but after that I'll take a break until I'm done with my exams and I'll come back in mid-july. hopefully this summer I'll make enough posts to last me the entire year :)
