vaguely academic things to do to keep yourself entertained

go down a wikipedia research hole by clicking the first term you don’t understand

binge a crashcourse series end to end (personal recs: world history, history of science, big history, philosophy)

find free books on project gutenberg

download some western classics for free

borrow books and audiobooks from the libby app or borrowbox

start a commonplace book

take a khan academy course

browse MIT’s free online course materials

teach yourself to code

go on a google scholar essay dive

try the open access button to avoid some paywalls for academic media, or install unpaywall that does a similar thing

research the history of the place you where you live

tempt the wrath of the duolingo owl and learn a language

search for online streams of the local tv in your target language’s country and use as background noise for immersion points

print and scrapbook favourite poetry and literature quotes

improve your handwriting by doing handwriting exercises

learn philosophy with the philosophize this! podcast. actually just check out all the educational spotify podcasts there are many good ones

start a weekly club with friends to share new and interesting things you’ve learnt that week

Is it possible to hate on someone so much? Or loathe even.

I loathe my brother. I'm scared of what he might do. I can't properly put it up to simpler word but he's stupid, immature, and no matter how you told him not to do this thing, he still does it.

He is so annoying to the point that I want him to be eradicated from my life. Either that or I am the one to be away.

Some might think, I will only feel this now, that it's only cat fights then later, I'd forgive him. Before, that's the case. I forgive him, he's my brother, of course.

But he's been like that ever since time immemorial. He has never changed.

They say, never result to physical violence, everything can be fixed through talking. But the thing is, he never even listen. How can we sort things out now?

Just yesterday, I'm explaining to him something because he seem not to understand it. But he didn't listened. He just said, "Blah, blah, blah."

Tell me, how can ones patience not reach its limit if encountered someone like that? I'm being serious and that all he'd say?

Before, I thought that it's maybe because he's still young. Maybe, one day, he'll mature. One day, he'll understand. Years had pass, yes, he is not the same anymore. He became worse.

What should you do to discipline someone without resorting to violence besides talking? Suggestions?

Reblogging because I saw a group of friends so happy together. I want to feel those too with friends (if I ever get to have). Only if I'm social enough (which I wouldn't even dare try).

I. AM. FEELING. ENVIOUS. HAHAHAHA. WHY DON'T I HAVE FRIENDS?

I need someone right now. Someone I can tell what I'm feeling right now. That I'm sad and hurt. Just... Why don't I have friends? Why the fuck am I crying already? This is shit.

What really gets me is when you're reading a book and the chapter labels have, like, vines or floral details around them or something. it makes me so soft - just- the fact that someone was like 'ooh we can add beauty here, we totally should' and they did it

dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it’s water in a desert and your eyes aren’t fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you’re not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience
