freaks in my tumblr dms GO AWAY
i am also vegan because cattle farming is the main cause of amazon deforestation and illegal land seizures fom indeginous brazilians
i am also vegan because the shrimp industry enslaves and abuses migrant fishermen from south-east asia
i am also vegan because animal agriculture is one of the main drivers of climate change, which most affects the poorest on earth
i am also vegan because european fishing vessels are systematically stealing fish from somalian waters
i am also vegan because we could directly feed an additional 1 billion people with some of the food we feed to livestock animals
i am also vegan because animal agriculture is a main driver of antibiotic resistance, which killed 1,27 million people in 2019
i am also vegan because i believe it is wrong to exploit the planet and the most vulnerable populations for the sake of sensory pleasure
I think it's very funny how many people on tumblr can't recognise how much they abuse thought-terminating cliches when discussing veganism
i’ll literally never get anywhere
I love my people and it's amazing to see so many of us turn up today, but it's like herding very friendly cats 😂
there are times in one's life where one must simply review anecdotes from one's childhood and think to oneself "wow, that was an autism in a trench coat"
was worrying about the future but then i remembered i can just kill myself whenevr it gets too hard 🙏 life is good
god ugh i wish i wasn’t so fucking ugly
In light of Duolingo laying off its translators, here are my favourite language apps (primarily for Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and te reo Māori).
Multiple Languages
Anki is a flashcard programme and app that's not exclusively for languages. While making your own decks is ideal, you can also download shared decks for most languages.
If you're learning Japanese, specifically, Seth Clydesdale has websites for practicing alongside Genki's 2nd or 3rd editions, and he also provides his own shared Anki decks for Genki.
And if you're learning te reo Māori, specifically, here's a guide on how to make your own deck.
TOFU Learn is an app for learning vocabulary that's very similar to Anki. However, it has particularly excellent shared decks for East Asian languages. I've used it extensively for practicing 汉字. Additionally, if you're learning te reo Māori, there's a shared deck of vocabulary from Māori Made Easy!
Mandarin Chinese
Hello Chinese is a fantastic app for people at the HSK 1-4 levels. While there's a paid version, the only thing paying unlocks is access to podcast lessons, which imo are not really necessary. Without paying you still have access to all the gamified lessons which are laid out much like Duolingo's lessons. However, unlike Duolingo, Hello Chinese actually teaches grammar directly, properly teaches 汉字, and includes native audio practice.
Japanese
Renshuu is a website and app for learning and practicing Japanese. The vast majority of its content is available for free. There's also a Discord community where you can practice alongside others.
Kanji Dojo is a free and open source app for learning and practicing the stroke order of kanji. You can learn progressively by JLPT level or by Japanese grades. There's also the option to learn and practice kana stroke order as well.
