(Please, when will we escape the claws of romaji? The grammar book I use is supposed to be for people aiming for the N3 level, so why are we still using romaji?? but no furigana??)

*sits down*

dont you think its weird. dont you think its weird that the space race last time was two of the biggest powers in the world. and now its a handful of rich men. dont you think its weird they can afford that. dont you think its bad that rich men can afford the same things as the government.

dont you think its weird that while the world is suffering and poverty is everywhere, where there's wars and climate change and human pain and homelessness. the same month I've watched people die on the news from unbearable heat and unprecedented flooding. that a rich handful of men are going to space, causing more carbon emissions. dont you think its weird that instead of putting their vast amount of money to use for good they're using it to find a way off the planet theyre destroying.

dont you think its really fucking weird.

Reminder that Stonewall was a riot, that we have achieved what we have by throwing bricks at cops.

Reminder that we owe our rights not to corporations putting rainbows on everything, not to white cis gays, but to queer and trans women of color.

Reminder that queer liberation goes hand in hand with racial liberation, with anti-imperialism, with decolonization.

Reminder that other queer people are not your enemy, that all m-spec, aspec, nonbinary, trans, and polyamorous people are not only valid and welcome, but inherently fundamental to the queer community.

Reminder that corporations are not our allies, that true queer liberation is not possible within capitalism.

Happy Pride month.

People on this hellsite are always like “lol fuck France, we all hate the French, they can die” meanwhile here in France we’re trying not to panic in front of the escalation of police violence, a govt veering to the far-right and the ever-growing chance that we’ll have Marine Le Pen as our next president. So please, shut the fuck up for a sec

21 to 30 april 2021

22 to 31/100 days of productivity

Decided to restart from where I last posted.

For one specific reason, I plan on studying Japanese intensively for at least a month.

It was a real struggle to find what would work for me and where to start with all the information online but I think I found a rhythm ish ?

In the meantime, I have :

- studied the numbers from 0 to 10000

- read about kanji radicals and researched the best way to study kanji for me (I think I found it)

- studied 3/4th of the first chapter of my textbook = 9 kanji + は + が particles

- learned about the different verbs and verb endings

- studied chapter 1 of a graded reader type book (the intensive reading way)

- 4 days streak on drops japanese

Hi can y’all stop calling us “blacks,” we’re Black people. Y’all out here saying “blacks” and I’m looking around wondering what I did to end up in the 60s
