Just a friendly reminder that the end of net neutrality will also be the end of independent writers and artists having online access to their audiences. Do some research, spread the word, make a phone call if you can. Net neutrality is serious business for everyone, and it’s especially important for indie writers. I mean, it’d be cool to go back to trading paper zines via snail mail, but I’d prefer to have access to y’all’s work online as well. Social media sites already make it hard enough with their algorithms, etc. I’d hate to see the entire internet turn against us. Let’s not let them do it. Okay? <3

one of my lecturers printed us a step-by-step guide to writing an essay for an assignment we had. i decided to type it up and share it with you guys. i think for the most part it is really useful and a super simple way to break down your essay. hope this helps :~)
best buddies!
A friend of mine uses this as her motivation tool - a giant poster of kanji that she highlights as she learns. I am considering doing this, too. I can just feel how excellent it would be to mark of things that I’ve learned.
She’s using the heisig method, which I know is not without controversy. For those of you studying kanji, in which order do you learn them and how did you choose?
