yoona's character absolutely should've been gay n i wont forgive the writers for that since they changed parts of the webtoon already ... i watched the whole drama (everything after episode 9 i dont acknowledge), and cha eunwoo's character was fine (male lead), but this definitely should've been about two lovely gfs ! n no im not biased even w a mad crush on yoona

Justice for yoona's character 😩 i will save myself the heart break by not watching it because i really wanted them to be gfs but i think i might read the webtoon

It has been three years since I started this blog and I never could have imagined hoe far this blog would come. Over the course of these three years, I have definitely changed my academic direction several times and I am in a bit of a weird gap year situation right now, even with this thank you for having this crazy academic journey with me. I am really grateful for the support of the studyblr community and everyone is a great source of motivation for me. I just hope that over these three years, I was able to help you guys too. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Due to my hectic schedule, I am only able to propose two very common activities and I’ll officially do the celebration this weekend (October 2-3)

PS: If you don’t want to see any posts related to this celebration, you can blacklist the tag #studyvancelebrates!!

hm... i would have to say @blacklinguist because posts on linguistics are just so interesting?? and they always make me think. also just a funny person all around and doesn’t take sh!t from no one... i admire so much!

[gliagirlphd]

can someone explain to me how they use Notion? I’m trying to streamline some of my giant to-do lists, and goals list, and all my papers for my research, and really want to explore this option. (specifically looking for grad school/research oriented resources)

Update [02/20/2021; 8:30AM]:

@angrysworld referred me to this video: https://youtu.be/vtyS2Jcv4Dk

Notions setup by @engineerlikestark

Notions setup by @study-sleep-tea-repeat

Notions setup for mega-assignments by @blacklinguist

Notions templates by @sonderstudy

Update [03/01/2021]

I made my own post.

[busybby]

hello everyone! no one asked for this but notion is now my guilty pleasure so i wanted to join in on creating some notion content (you have no idea how much time i've spent watching notion youtube videos, on notiontwt, and messing with my own notion). honestly i wasn't able to find a notion setup or template that i felt was perfect for me and it took me a long time to acknowledge this and be okay with it (lol this sounds so dramatic). i wanted to use it because it seemed so helpful, but for so long it was so frustrating. i'd spend so much time trying to make it work and then never return to any pages i set up. ultimately, i had to be very intentional about notion: what i wanted to use it for, how often i wanted to use it, etc. the problem was that i felt too overwhelmed to try to just make a set up from scratch. that being said, in this post i'm going to go over not only my own set up but how i got to it.

i actually found notion via @noodledesk​ back in the spring! their posts and set up inspired me to start researching and watching youtube videos. at this point i was just using notion's built in templates. i wanted to make them more personalized, but i was still confused about notion so it didn't go well and i eventually abandoned them. then, over the summer, i rediscovered noodledesk's task prioritization template and began using that. i ended up using it for a longggg time, probably from july to october! i altered it a teeny bit and over time added a few things to personalize it more. here's a pic of how it looks as of the last time i used it!

as you can see it's basically a big grid organized by days and amount of time the task will require. there's some less organized stuff at the bottom and on top is my morning routine, a random motivational picture, a quote i like, and links to things i use daily like my google calendar.

this set up worked really well for me over the summer when i had absolutely no structure in my life, but once i was back in school and working two jobs, i found i don't need so much help prioritizing my tasks but rather a big space for me to see everything. and when i say everything, i mean literally everything.

around this time, i discovered notiontwt (notion twitter) and found sooo many beautiful spreads! they were so cute and inspired me a lot. this is one set up i attempted to use (i especially liked the weekly spread) and this is one that i made myself using a 'pack' of graphics as a kind of theme.

like i said the graphics (header and calendar) are from the artist i linked above. the fanart of harry styles is by this artist. also just something that i think is important and could be a helpful reminder is to always put sources/artists for any images or art you include at the bottom of your pages! even if you're the only one seeing the page!! also of course ask if the image is okay to use!

so i tried to use that spread for october and again... it was abandoned. i also was using it in conjunction with the priority page and an 'assignments masterlist' database i have but things were just not working. i think this is the point that i decided that i would just be creative, let things flow, and do what i wanted. i took pieces from set ups that i liked, made my own little pieces, and added them to a blank page that i titled 'my brain.' 'my brain' really helped to free up my mind. calling it that made me center the page on myself and only use things that i liked and that worked for me (& ignore all the aesthetic stuff i was seeing). i felt free to delete some things and add others even if i didn't know exactly how i wanted them to look or function. in addition, i even added a little section to that page where i wrote, "i want this to be a space of fluid exploration so i can move things around as i figure out what works best for me," as a reminder of what that page was meant to be. i also started bulking up my 'essentials page' which i'll go through another time, but it was important in creating this page and keeping it focused on my daily needs.

going into this 'project' there were a few elements i knew i liked from things i'd tried and things i'd seen. these were: images, a grid layout (from noodledesk's priority page), a full page, quotes, organization by weekday. so, the first thing i did was make these elements in my page. then i arranged them into a layout that i liked (loosely inspired by, again, noodle desk): list on the left, image on the right. this is what it looked like:

at the top, there is a callout that says "today" and it's meant to overview everything that should be in my head on that particular day or... every day. underneath there are three columns, one for tasks (check list), one for events and random thoughts (reminders) and one for general inspiration. the inspiration column has the callout with the goal of the page that i already discussed, a painting by my favorite artist, and a quote that i liked from a book i've read recently.

underneath all of that is more of a future look-ahead. i have a grid-style weekly planner and then a linked database that i use every day. i learned how to make this database from @blacklinguist​‘s post.and under all that i just have some other stuff.

so this is basically what i began working with! since, i've added sub sections to organzize my to-do list, a goal section, and a cute picture next to my weekly grid. i just added these as they came to me. for example, i wanted to do this one reading challenge but I always forget about goals because i put them deep into other pages and then forget about them. so i made a section on my main page for them!

also if it's important, the assignments masterlist is sorted by due date, but in the weekly grid i put the tasks under the day that they're due. so you can see my falling man reading is due on dec.1, but i need to actually do it before then so in the weekly grid it's under the monday heading (and tuesday but that's because i doubt i'll finish it monday). i also try to add the dates of the week to those headings so i don't get confused but usually i forget. i at least try to bold the current day. random note but that's one thing i had trouble with in a lot of the templates i was trying before. they usually only organized things by due or 'do' date, but my brain really requires both so i made sure to include that here. BUT i wasn't aware of that before. i honestly just put that into words and realized it now. that's why it's important to just add absolutely anything that you think might help you even a little bit. anywho, here it is in its current state:

and that's pretty much it! another time i can go over the other pages i use, but this is my version of what a lot of notion users call a dashboard and this is what I've put the most effort into making work for me. i hope this helps you in some way whether it's using this format exactly, taking some inspiration, or just realizing that notion is super flexible and can work for you (even if it's intimidating right now). also i'm so sorry if this is overwhelming but i think it's super satisfying lol. let me know if you have any questions or ideas and please message me about notion because i love talking about it.

Morning study session

Day 17 - Tag someone who you think is really kind. @hraewordsmith

Day 18 - Tag someone who makes you think more deeply about things.

@blacklinguist ♡

[ryanlewisandclark]

Furthermore, the continuing (incorrect) assertion that something which is deeply political is in fact apolitical only serves those in positions to oppress, those whose power is maintained through the existent status quo.

Queerqueerspawn above says as much in the last paragraph, and I think it should be driven home:

Insistence on the neutrality of scientific fields only reproduces the current dominant systems in those fields. Racial capitalism and colonization and cis-heteropatriarchy are the default in the systems they have constructed and enforced.

Stop accepting “default” as “neutral”. Those words don’t mean the same things!

anyway linguistics is not and never will be apolitical because it studies languages that are 1) governed by politics and 2) spoken by political beings (humans) 

politics and humans are married. therefore, politics and language are married. therefore politics and linguistics are married.

to make linguistics ‘apolitical’, you’re going to have to get rid of politics, which is not going to happen on this earth because it’s a component of the human psyche at this point and there’s no identity or way of life that can avoid it.

Languages I...

tagged by @aubergine-study - thank you!

Languages I wish I could go back to studying: Spanish - quite common where I live and a lot of fun to speak

Languages I haven't really studied but would if I was a career polyglot getting paid to just exist: Korean, French, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai (for a start)

Languages I am studying/have been studying: Japanese (forever)

Languages I can’t touch for [insert reason]: No specific languages I can think of (that I'd have the opportunity to study) - I like to pick up a bit of language wherever I go, especially when a native speaker teaches me a bit

3.16.21/Day 4-6

zoomester studyblr challenge.

4: For my researching fellows, what are you researching on? If you’re not currently researching, what is the topic within your field that you’re most passionate about?

While I’m not actively researching this, I am passionate about Afrofuturism, more specifically black science fiction, and how it can be used to understand our past and reimagine a future for the black diaspora. Black women and black enby writers have always been so ahead of the game when it comes to this. Also, I’m really into music of the black diaspora. Its forms, its histories, the dances created from it and vice versa, the music that has been birthed from movements. 

5: Tag 3 studyblrs that you like seeing on your dashboard.

(Note: Not all are really considered study blogs, but def faves that I love learning from. If anyone doesn’t want to be included in this post lmk and I’ll remove you immediately!)
