“I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is for a tall ship and a star to steer her by…”

I dream about high school marching band all the time. Like, a distressing amount.

are there common motifs in your dreams? 

in mine for example it’s common to have wings, to drown in cold oil, breath water, or have to escape

I started Hebrew, which is why I’ve been dead on this blog, but I don’t think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli

Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back

Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say “excuse me” and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldn’t worry about remembering that since we’ll never need to say it

Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you don’t even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it

Japanese: the closest thing there is to ‘bastard’ is an excessively direct ‘you’ pronoun Hebrew: ‘bitch’ translates directly

Looking for specific book recs!

Okay Tumblr, I’ve been really wanting to learn more about Native American history, culture, etc. for a while, but I haven’t been sure where to start or what books would be a good place to start. There are a lot out there, but I don’t know what’s good and what’s not. It finally occurred to me that hey, I’m sure some people here might have some ideas, so here I am! There are so many periods of history and different peoples and cultures I want to learn about, but I feel like my time is so limited and I want to get active about diving into new things when I have spare time. 

So: If you have any recommendations for (preferably nonfiction) books about Native American history/culture/any topic you think is important to know or interesting or will help me learn, please let me know! You can comment on this post, inbox me, message me, however you want to share is fine! :)
