my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!
as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.
Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.
And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.
Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

“It is, often enough, only by seeing in a poem the choice that was not made that we understand the choice that has been made. The ‘erasures’ that lie under the printed line are often deducible from previous poems or later ones, or from a parent poem in the tradition, or from the formula of common speech that is being avoided.”
— Helen Vendler, The Odes of John Keats

“The first thing to notice about any poem is what piece of life (a disappointed love, the death of a parent…) the poem is about. Lyric poems spring from moments of disequilibrium: something has happened to disturb the status quo. Hope has come to rebuke despair, love has come to thaw coldness, envy has come to upset happiness … It helps to ask, ‘Under what circumstances would I find myself saying these words?’ The poem is written for you to say. You are the speaker of every lyric poem you read.”
— Poems, Poets, Poetry, Helen Vendler

[📹 Local residents and civil defense crews work to search through the rubble for survivors following an Israeli airstrike targeting residential building in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.]
🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨
ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES HAMMER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GAZA STRIP, HIT A HOUSE IN RAFAH
A new wave of bombings pummeled the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night, killing and wounding dozens, including an airstrike tonight which targeted a house in Rafah, raising new worries of an Israeli ground offensive in the area.
Reporting on the strike said two civilians were killed and others wounded after the Israeli occupation army bombed a house in the Al-Salam neighborhood of Rafah City, a crowded neighborhood with many displaced Palestinians, on Wednesday night.
In another raid, Zionist warplanes bombed the Al-Mawasi neighborhood, while another strike on the Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp earlier in the day resulted in a number of casualties, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
Previously, occupation fighter jets launched several raids targeting the Al-Zaytoun and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods of Gaza City, killing and wounding several people.
Zionist forces also bombed and destroyed the Al-Raed Tower, as well as a commercial square on Al-Jalaa Street of Gaza City.
Occupation artillery shelling also targeted the east of the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood as well.
The carnage continued when Israeli fighter jets bombed a civilian vehicle on Jaffa Street in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, killing one civilian and wounding several others, while Zionist raids also targeted the Al-Bureij and Nuseirat Refugee Camps.
Occupation warplanes similarly bombed a house east of Jabalia al-Balad, in Gaza's north, and continued bombing neighborhoods in Beit Lahia, Gaza City and the Jabalia and Al-Shati Refugee Camps, causing a whole new wave of displacement among local residents.
As a result of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among Palestinian residents has risen to exceed 34'183, including 14'560 children and 9'582 women, while another 77'143 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
