i know artists like to make fast/slow versions of their songs but can they start doing versions of their songs at 10% of the speed?

i want to hear pop songs turn into haunting whale songs

you know that feeling when you've been making notes and not reviewing them for the past 4 months, and now you have about 6 days left until your exam, so you decide to go back to your notes

and you realise, even though you spent hours in each lecture writing those notes down, they're not just shit notes but absolutely useless. how the fuck am i supposed to revise from bullet points

i should have just tried making flashcards for each lecture from the beginning instead of doing this

mhm, i have an exam in two weeks, i haven't started revising yet, and im beginning to feel the squeeze

time to learn effective study techniques for people with adhd for the thousandth time (i end up forgetting or abandoning it every single time, its extremely frustrating)

i feel mentally exhausted and i haven't even done anything today. brain feels eepy

maybe reading about cannibalism will make me feel better

i want to read a book but i can only find a pdf of it which is very annoying

what's the best way to read a pdf? i can't convert it because it's formatted in a particular way so pdf is the only way

got bored and started procrastinating so here's a version of my little bald guy reading a kindle (based on my irl kindle cover)

man, i fucking hate adhd. just let me get some goddamn work done for the first time this week

sometimes i wish my brain was a person so i could throttle it. why must you betray me at every turn

also it doesn't help that all of the work i need to do this week is on two assignments that are both group projects in which none of the people in the groups have done anything except for me. really demotivating tbh

i'm doing a masters degree and it has a placement attached to it, so it's an 18-month course

so when i apply for student finance, they give me a payment schedule that goes all the way up to april 2025 because they automatically class it as a 2 year course

the university wanted it all paid within 1 year, but i told them my student finance is more spread out so they changed their payment schedule for me

but now they're saying i can't do the placement if i don't pay in full before august?? like maybe tell me that at the start of the course you fucking arseholes

i don't think i've experienced this much joy reading a book than i did reading the Third Day of The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

the past two hours have somehow been the best reading experience of my life, after 2-3 weeks of not reading anything...

kinda feel like eating someone now idk

does anyone know how following hashtags work?

haven't been reading a lot lately. unfortunately, i tend to hyperfocus on specific hobbies, so reading took a backburner as i went fully into eurovision

HOWEVER! i thought i would just talk about The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez a little bit. i've only read around a quarter of it, but it's shaping up to be one of the best books i've ever read! it's a dark fantasy where a god escaped from her prison and two guys help her escape while being chased. the prose, the pacing, the characters, the worldbuilding... everything about this book ticks all of my boxes

despite not finishing it yet, i would highly recommend it. if you want content warnings, check user-generated ones here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/65c5a26d-c650-44ac-9c66-a74aca1e4f78

the second book i want to read this month is Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio. this book is actually part of a series that was recommended by the same person who recommended The Spear Cuts Through Water (hi mishal if you're reading this), so i'm very excited to read this. content warnings and description here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/00dcdfc6-b4c8-4513-9023-58127155412c

i think my intense eurovision obsession has mostly passed now, and i can devote more time to reading, so hopefully i can finish a book this month!

anyway i hope anyone else reading any books this month reads something good

"These estimates indicate that England suffered a 4 per cent loss of population, Scotland a loss of 6 per cent, while Ireland suffered a loss of 41 per cent of its population. Putting these numbers into the context of other catastrophes helps to understand the devastation of Ireland in particular. The Great Famine of 1845–1852 resulted in a loss of 16 per cent of the population, while during the Soviet famine and Holodomor of 1932–33 the population of the Soviet Ukraine fell by 14 per cent.[175]"

excuse me, what the fuck.
