Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

(copied from @dxckiii on Twitter) this could literally change everything.
They have begun a recount process. WAKE UP YOUR NEVADA FRIENDS AND MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CHECK iwillvote.com to make sure their ballot was counted. if it says it was denied, they need to call immediately.
Don't scroll past this. If there's any chance someone from Nevada is following you, they need to see it. Get this as far as possible. Be loud. I know it's easy to feel hopeless right now; god knows I was crying my eyes out for a good chunk of last night, but if there's even a shred of action we can take, we can't let it slip by.
If you know anyone in Nevada, please share this with them. Reblog it. Spread it far and wide, ASAP.

The stuggles of being a writer.
A shame that I have to actually finish my book before I get to read it. I enjoy writing it just as much but I am looking forward to finishing my first book and getting to read through it, even if I do know what's going to happen.

BEST TIP Learning Languages ;
SIMPLICITY is KEY. Simplify the learning process.
MAKE LEARNING A LANGUAGE ;
Simple & understandable.
LEARNING TIP: DO NOT LEARN WHAT YOU DO NOT USE.
Avoid learning useless vocabulary. Do not learn the things that are truly of no use for you in your daily life.
Think about it …. In reality,
if you NEVER use it … simply don’t use it .. don’t learn it.
Learn what you will use, and nothing extra.
For now - Just focus on what you use on a daily basis.
Here’s great exercise to follow this tip ;
Create a realistic list of vocabulary you use day to day - A LIST of only the things you say the most, on a DAILY BASIS.
Focus on learning this list in your target language.
Learn this list
ABOVE ALL ELSE.
Because you will be forced to learn how to say only relevant and useful sayings.
You will learn only WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WILL USE. LOGICALLY, YOU WILL USE THIS LIST, DAILY!
AND YOU WILL HAVE AN EASIER TIME PRACTICING, BECAUSE YOU WILL ACTUALLY USE THE LIST!
Try it … and see how much this focus shift can make a worlds difference.

example of grammar breakdowns:

i will be adding material over the coming weeks and continuously as i come across material! updates may be frequent or slow down at times.
note: resources are free, and they’re totally free to share and use! but please do not repost without credit, and because i buy these from my workplace with my own money and spend time scanning them and cleaning them up and organizing them, please consider tipping me as much as you’d like ♥️
