#there are free courses online!

[docbrownstudies]

just a reminder that learning doesn't stop when you graduate or you leave school. you can keep teaching yourself new things. you can read textbooks or borrow books from the library. you can watch tons of free videos on youtube and learn a new skill or educate yourself on a topic you've always been interested in. you can still take pretty notes. you can still learn a new language. learning doesn't have to end once you leave the classroom.

reading shakespeare always gives me the urge to start talking in meter even though that would be an insane thing to do in normal conversations

Get Ready to Hit Your Writing Goals in 2024

Want to start writing regularly in 2024?

A few months ago, I made this free course for writers. It's called Writing Habit for Life and helps you set up a writing habit that will fit around your lifestyle so that it's sustainable for the long term.

Just setting a goal and getting on with it works for some, but it usually isn't enough. Many abandon their plans a few weeks or months later despite their best efforts. It's a shame.

The thing is, the difference between someone completely stuck and someone making progress isn't that big. It may be just a few tweaks that will break you out of the vicious cycle. Maybe you're too distracted and need to clean up your environment a bit? Perhaps you need a little more accountability?

Small things matter because they get magnified over time. A small mistake repeated every day adds up to a serious issue.

The course covers it all, and it's completely free! You'll get a new lesson every day for two weeks. Click here to learn more.

I know I've talked about the issues with indigenous languages and their inaccessibility for people from their cultures and how easily outsiders learning those languages can become disrespectful and even colonialist

but if Duolingo started offering Anishinaabemowin courses (made by actual Anishinaabe speakers and educators who are WELL COMPENSATED and TREATED FAIRLY), I would be on that shit in a fucking heartbeat.

idk how much of a hot take this is but i don’t think mirage is about AI or technology at all—its so much more meaningful than that.

do you remember in the behind the scenes vlog of zhou shen’s thank you concert, in one of the first scenes and the first lines, zhou shen says, “it’s the most obvious in this shot—the moment the concert ends, you’re alone again… it makes you feel even more so like it was all a dream.”

the point of mirage is that nothing lasts. 生命何尝不是 从乌有 到乌有—“life is from nothing to nothing.” no matter what you do, you enter the world with nothing and leave with nothing, so how can any of it be real? so much of our current lives is dominated by societal constructs, things that aren’t actually physically real but we as a society collectively decided to perceive as real (世界如何虚构 “this is how the world is made up”). so what actually is reality?

in this song, zhou shen acknowledges the futile quality inherent in life (“open one door and there are a thousand more”) but says 倘若感动时候 依然有 泪在流, says 这刹那的感受 却足够 算不朽. even if its all a passing dream, the emotions are still real. these moments are enough.

“we spend our whole lives in this mirage, holding nothing to our name—still, we willingly give ourselves to this dream.”

i know you mentioned grad school and your job a lot but you write a lot too? curious as to what your schedule looks like

tl;dr: i normally write at around 11 pm - midnight, so my brain is usually fried up by then and im fighting sleep, which is why my fic writing process is both slow and doesn’t produce much quality 😭🙏🏻

my prof jokes that i need 36 hours in a day and he’s not wrong LOL. my typical routine ive settled into (from start to finish):

5 am - wake up, get ready for work (skincare, makeup, iron clothes/get dressed, pack lunch, make coffee); if my assignments for school get overwhelming, i will adjust my wake up time to 4 to give me time to work on them when i wake up

7 am - i leave my apartment no later than 7. im in auditing and travel to a client site 3 out of 5 days of the week (the other 2 days are wfh). right now, my commute is 1 hour 21 mins one-way (so i spend about almost 3 hours of my workday just commuting to and from), but it honestly feels like such a short trip now LOL

5 pm - workday is over; my office allows me to charge nonbillable time to account for my commute so i take a 30 min lunch over an hour long lunch so i can leave the client site at 3pm rather than 3:30pm (they just want to ensure that i get home/finish the workday at 5)

5 - 6 pm - my designated time to workout & then cook dinner

6 - 7 pm - shower and self care (in the form of skin and body care)

8 - 10 pm - depending on how many assignments i have, my designated schoolwork and study time will either end right at 10 bc im tired or i finish early OR it can drag until midnight

11pm - 12 am - free time

when work is slow or im waiting on something or im on lunch, you’ll see me post a lot!!!

my WFH days are every wednesday and friday, so similar working hours (7-3:30) but everything gets pushed up a bit, so i can workout earlier, wake up later, etc. on weekends, i normally drive back to my family + help out at their business. i get to sleep in until 6am, I’m at my parents’ shop from 7am-6:30pm basically LOL and any down time i spend shitposting on tumblr (it’s hard to write anything serious while im always being interrupted w work stuff + on my phone), i try to have free time by 9pm but usually all i wanna do on the weekend is sleep, so that’s what i do haha

I wanna be able to know about queer history and different cultural views of queerness partially because I just really wanna know it and partially bc I think it would make fiction set in historical settings more interesting. I also think it would be cool to incorporate real past queer culture in writing without having to include the Horrors (homophobia, transphobia, etc).
