This is the lovely post by MoonIvy that inspired me to get myself back into reading chinese by the way:

And this is MoonIvy's other amazing post, which includes a list of everything they read so far in order of difficulty which is a great reference list if you are looking for something to try, and includes some suggestions on listening study things you can try too.

MoonIvy is part of the group managing the Heavenly Path site I keep mentioning, that just has so many phenomenally organized media recommendations, a good guide to starting to read, and lots of linked resources:

#rant #reading #resources #chinese resources #rec list #so in these posts moonivy mentions some good starting places for HSK 4 people to push into reading #and i agree at about hsk 4 you can handle 1 a ton of graded readers (from 500 hanzi to 2000 as you go)#and 2 u can eventually handle native novels at hsk 4. thats when i pushed into native novels #i would say though. my own difference in learning #is i personally found it motivating and enjoyable to read WAY above my level at times.#i personally always go between 1 easier thing for myself and 1 harder thing to read. i felt that kept my #reading level both progressively increase while also giving me easier stuff to practice extensive reading #and for me it was HIGHLY motivating to read 100 pages of priest in print 2 years in #HIGHLY motivatkng to read tian ya ke with a click dictilnary 10 months in.#to see chapters go from 1.5 hours to read to 50 minutes to 40 minutes to 25 minutes.#so for me. i would say if you WANT to read something way above your level? just go ahead #you can always bounce between easier and harder stuff #i find a good balance worked better for me. and also i tend to learn better when massively challenged ToT #idk why i think its just cause its familiar. id read my parents novels at age 8. ToT it feels #more like how i leafned my native language to simply read my foreign language the same #though i know it demotivates some people. in contrast i find keeping some harder stuff on hand #reminds me to challenge myself and not idle at the level im at.#so i say? assume u can do ANYTHING with success. and do it. and when it burns u out or is not fun anymore?#go do something easier u Know is Easy. (and it sure will feel easy after the Anything before lol)#then u get confidence doing it easy. and remember ur #still capable of Anything so try again when ur ready.

going to visit parents & adopted uncle & aunt for the weekend. is this a wise decision, given how much work I have to do? NO. Will it be good to see them? YES.

#meanwhile:#fighting the urge to tell my mentoring research professor 'no thoughts head empty'#I'm working on transcripts for some interviews she has done #and she wants me to share my thoughts about what I'm hearing at the next meeting #but I Have No Thoughts y'all... I am too tired #We Have Said Everything Before. I Have Nothing To Add. Also I'm only 15 minutes into the first transcript b/c cleaning up the captions #is really time consuming work #I'm gonna be SO BUSY for the next. week.#2 papers to write. 8 discussion posts to make. & only a few hours to do it in #hnnnng #I almost think I should delay it by a week #just because next week I will have far less to do #I have this awful habit of delaying my actual decisions till the last minute. I need to stop doing this.#how horrible would it be to delay my monthly visit by 1 week at the very last second

I'll tell you where the real road lies, between your ears, behind your eyes. That is the path to paradise, and, likewise, the road to ruin -wait for me ii, hadestown

black sails 1x08 / shipwreck on northern sea, ivan aivazovsky / paradise lost and paradise regained, john milton / black sails 2x05 / paradise lost, gustave dore / the ship “fortuna”, knud baade / black sails 1x08

[ID: a web weaving compilation. The first image is james flint from black sails. he is saying “but on the other side.” the second image is a painting of a shipwreck on a dark ocean lit only by the moonlight by ivan aivazovsky. the third image is the cover of the book paradist lost and paradise regained, by john milton. the fourth image is miranda barlow from black sails. she is saying “it’s clear to me now that what lies ahead is the road to ruin.” the fifth image is art by gustave dore from paradise lost, showing lucifer cresting the top of a cliff during sunrise and looking at the lush valley below. the sixth image is a painting of an old shipwreck in a cove at night lit by dim moonlight by knud baade. the seventh image is james flint in black sails finishing his sentence from the first image. he is saying “lies paradise”]

#any other black sails and hadestown fans out there or is it just me screaming at a wall alone in the corner #black sails #james flint #miranda barlow #web weaving #no idea if this makes ANY sense #comp #ace txt #update i made this initially at ep 8 and i'm now watching season 2 and when miranda said 'the road to ruin' i screamed aloud #and had to pause the episode for. several minutes (half an hour)#i can't stop fucking thinking about this #if this show throws another line from hadestown at me i will explode #image ids under the cut

every time i think about high school im like ok now what the fuck was all that

#like class started at 8 am??? every day???????#and everyone was driving there at once #so i would have to sit in traffic for like at LEAST 15 minutes every morning #just to show up to school #and have 7 classes in a day????? and none of those classes were at all related to each other??????#+ no breaks besides <5 minute passing periods #and 20 minutes for lunch #so you had a 7 hour day with almost no breaks. THEN like 1-2 hours of hw every night.#and that was every day????#and thats just the average high school experience!!!! what the fuck!!!!!!#personal #if i had to take more than two classes in a day i would die on the spot

mike's season introductions are always about him running late for something. suspicious. doubly so now that time is so important to the story

#stranger things #mike wheeler #briony babbles #season 1 had 8:10pm; 30 minutes; 2 weeks; 10 hours #season 4 had '15 after' (idk the hour); 30 seconds (said twice); 9pm; 6:30am; one week #he loses track of time in all of them #runs overtime with his campaign; has to rush getting ready for school; has to rush to meet the party (twice!)#especially interesting because it was said in season 1 that he's never late

To anyone genuinely worried about last night’s stream- I can promise you George/Dream/Sapnap/Bad have all had much worse ‘fights’ on stream and have been fine the next day. It’s how they communicate and let off steam <3 they are simply built like that

Just had an 8 hour shift with no breaks 🙃

#I was planning to go on break at 6 but there was a rush so I couldn’t #that rush lasted 2+ hours #I ushered for the last hour and a half #which is good cause I can sit down for a few minutes in the theater to get a quick breather #my feet hurt so bad #I had an 8 hour shift yesterday #and today #and another tomorrow 😃#then Monday I finally have a day with nothing #no school or work #then back to school #but no work till I think Friday #so woof #I’m so tired

Had an idea

Inspired by this post

#the magic school bus #spoopy's meme edits #gun tw #took me about 2 and a half hours #nearly 3 hours if you want to count the combined frames image #first and last frame took me the shortest time (12 minutes each)#no way/the entire class frame took me the longest (1 hour and 8 minutes)#another frame took me 20 minutes and another one took half an hour #yes i put way too much effort in this #it better become a world heritage post #my art #spoopy's art corner

LMFAO FIRST VPA CLASS IVE BEEN TO THIS MONTH AND IMMEDIATELY! 5 MINUTES IN! my fucking nightmare of a prof has called out EVERYONE in the class for good things and bad things. i want to melt into the floor

#she started off class by saying tess is the champion bc i gave everyone feedback bc i genuinely wanted to hear whateveryone was doing remem #remeber? and she called eveyrone else out for not doing that and also not giving me feedback and she read down the list of who gave the mos #most feedback like tess did 8 x kid did 6 x kids did 4 whatever. and then she also said ppl who didnt do it and they started talking abt ho #how they were confusd and didnt understand the instructions and then she said smth abt how she used to give a quiz on the syllabus but didn #didnt this smeester and she should and then the person started talking more and she actually yelled at them and said dont argue with me you #didnt read the instructions. and she called everyone else out for not giving me feedback and i actually said in the chat omg no dont feel p #pressured i just was doing it bc i had free tmie and wanted to see everyones projects!!! but now i think everyone hates me and that was the #EXACT opposite thing i was trying to do with me leaving comments and i feel so bad and want to cry. she always fucking does this. i HATE #her so fucking much. she just makes us all feel uncomfortable and bad and whatever. fuck this stupid class #purrs #only one person left me feedback which did kinda suck but also i talked for like 6 minutes straight so i get it. also that was the video tha #that cost me my mom's bday celebration LOLLLLLL so basically this clas is ruining my fucking life. lol #i want to ask iif we can look at the photo i did for my project that i was really proud of in part bc i pulled a muscle while trying to take #it and writhed around on the floor for a good 4 minutes afterwards bc i didnt get to be at the critique bc of my moms bday. but now she's ma #made me feel so guilty and made everyone else feel guilty about giving ME SPECIFICALLY feedback and so i cant ask. i feel like crying #i was just trying to do something nice. and now im the weird girl! and im stuck in this stupid call for 2 more hours. fuck

#First like 'full' day in the shop since we're done with the busy season #it's been like a month since i really did anything shop related #and hoo-boy am i feeling it already #i was cleaning for most of the morning but this afternoon i was constantly moving things on and off the plasma table for like three hours #and they're awkward as hell to handle not to mention heavy #and i was feeling pretty good for a while #hit my steps goal by like 2 PM lmao #but within minutes of getting home i could feel it all across the top/back of my shoulders #and then had to be on my feet for a while making supper #so by the time i was sitting down to eat my lower back was even less willing to bend than it usually is #(which isn't a lot!)#it's usually the next day when I start feeling like this #not less than three hours later 😩#idk if i'll have to be doing this again tomorrow #but i do know i don't have the evening to myself and have to drive to the city so it's going to be a late night again 😔#kee speaks #i've been trying to keep a heat pack on my back #but i'm tired enough i might be able to fall asleep if i go crawl into bed #even though it's only 8 PM lol #which means i'll probably wake up at like 4 AM which isn't ideal when i know i'll have a late night tomorrow

The other day I made meatbuns again but usually someone ELSE marinades and cooks the meat first before I recook it and add vegetables and seasoning. So I did that for the first time and totally messed up. Too much water, not the right color, charred the sides, it ended up being kinda flavorless. So when I recooked it I added a bit more oyster sauce just so it would taste like SOMETHING. Somehow, everyone else likes it better than usual. It's sweeter than usual, but I prefer salty meatbuns so I'm the only one not satisfied :/

#talking tag #marinade pork in xia siu powder bought from the store after its sat for like 8 hours sear the sides on the frying pan #then cover the pan then flip after 15 minutes then flip after 15 minutes idk this is the part i messed up on dont trust me then add a bit #of water to let it steam i guess and cover it then once its all cooked through and not charred take it out chop into half centimeter cubes #then dice half an onion then add oil to the bottom of the pan and cook the onions until fragrant then add the meat cubes then add 1 large #spoonful of hoisin sauce oyster sauce and suger then add a mixture of a half cup of water and a large spoonful of flour then stir and cook #until the water dissipates and it just kinda looks like moist meat slop then set it aside and let it cool and like stir it up every now and #then so it cools faster yknow then to make the dough you get 1 cup of room temp milk and add 2 tsp instant yeast then mix and set aside #then get 500g flour 90g sugar 0.25 tsp salt 1 egg 1 stick of butter softened add the milk and yeast mixture then knead #let rest for 20 minutes then divide into 12 portions #flatten with roller and wrap filling with dough then brush egg yolk over the top bake in oven at 320F for 15 minutes then change temp to #350F for 15 minutes take it out then brush a mixture of equal parts melted butter and honey over the top except i skip this part because it #makes it sticky and gross to store in a plastic bag #one time i made the filling out of leftover rotisserie chicken and cabbage and the same sauces and sugar so the filling can be anything #i also once had leftover dough so i made biscuits. they taste like biscuits i dont know what i expected. i dont like biscuits
