My name is Skyler’s Studies and this is my introduction!
So first of all, I have a passion for languages and learning them. I’m currently taking a mandatory language class (French), a Korean online course, and waiting for the sign-up period for a specific online class for Arabic, so that’s what I’ll post about for the most part. I’ll do Korean notes the majority of time, then French, and no Arabic from now until this fall of 2018.
I’ll also post some stuff that I’m currently doing in school or independent study, but I won’t do as much as the languages above.
About me:
My name is Skyler but I go by Skye a lot (she/her; occasionally they/them)
I’m 14 years old.
English is my native language.
My target languages are (as you can see above) French, Korean, and Arabic, but I’m also interested in Chinese, Spanish, and Russian.
I studied German independently about a year or two ago and I know basic-intermediate German.
I’m a Slytherin.
My favorite color is army-green.
I’ve actually been following studyblrs for a while, but I only started my own recently.
I love green tea.
I’m both messy and organized? …I don’t know how either.
I play the cello.
I like a lot of TV shows, but my favorite ones right now are The Good Place and Mr. Robot.
I want to get a fish named Qwerty (Mr. Robot reference hehe) and I have almost all the stuff I need, but I have no time to/I procrastinate getting the rest of the stuff.
welcome to the studyblr/langblr community, skyler!! good luck with your studies ♡ also i completely relate to the simultaneously messy and organized thing hsdfhshf
The problem with growing up in a society like ours is that no matter how hard we try, how much we grow, how liberal we try to be, there will always be those little voices in our heads saying horrible things about ourselves and others. In a land where rich white men profit off of hatred and negativity, somewhere alone the way it plants this deep inside our heads too. A little Donald Trump, or Nigel Farage, or Tony Abbott live in all our heads, saying horrible untruths, and by God, they’re near impossible to pick back out.
Hi. I’m Jess, I’m 23 years old, I like in London and I’m an English Literature graduate. And I’m an ism-aholic. But I’m working on it.
I don’t know when I first started to notice the judgements my brain passed out - maybe at Uni, when I had the good luck to find and befriend some very diverse and wonderfully liberal people, or when I joined Tumblr, or maybe even before that. But at some point along the way I realised that no matter how liberal and accepting I thought I was, I still judge people in an instant, allow my perceptions to tar my interactions with people, and allow outdated and damaging societal structures and values to affect my daily life.
Of course, just realising wasn’t enough. Noticing the racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ableist… hell, everything-ist thoughts in my head didn’t stop them appearing, not by any means. It’ll be a lifelong struggle. But I challenge them each and every time they come up, and try to challenge others too. Because I’m part of the problem, and I’m going to try to be one of the people to tackle it. One day at a time!
That’s why campaigns like Brook’s ‘Sex:Positive’ are so amazing. They’re enlisting young people to help tackle a problem deeply ingrained and dear to their hearts, and mine. By talking about the judgemental and negative attitudes around sex and sexuality, and spreading examples of sex positivity, they are digging at the roots of the tiny Donald Trumps living in our brains. That’s fantastic, and I’m so happy I get to be a part of it.
I see a lot of new folks following me so hiii I’m Linked, writer and shitposter, who uses this blog as a cesspool of everything and anything so expect stuff ranging from actual writings to fandom reblogs.
