Hi, I know I haven’t been here in ages! But I wanted to come back and tell you guys I finally picked up Annie Ernaux. I have devoured this and am now desperate to read Simple Passion immediately. I talk a bit about it in my first newsletter that I will discuss more later. In the mean time - how is everyone? Who else loves Annie Ernaux?

@hezalife I wanted to make a post about this because my answer was longer than what I could put in a reply comment! The comment was about this post I made about the project ideas I have saved in my notes app on my phone!

Okay to answer the question, I get a bunch of ideas from literally everywhere. Here are some of the ways I come up with ideas:

Hobbies/interests I have and think of a way to make a web app/program/web page out of it. E.g. I like playing Minecraft, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, The Sims etc so I would thing of ideas around those games and create a programming project out of it.

Get the stereotypical “beginners” project ideas and expand on that. Calculator? How do I make it better, more advanced! To-do list? Don’t like basic, add more and more features to it. Text-based RPG console game? Make it more complex. Stuff like that.

Same with the other point above but add a theme to it. Hello Kitty version (my go-to theme since I started programming…)

I follow people on GitHub and Twitter that share their projects and I think of something similar or get inspiration from them and think “Okay, how do I make myself and better?” Sometimes not even better but how would I tackle that project myself.

What would make my life a little bit easier - I made TumblrTextTint generate the code needed for formatting colours in text for me. I coded it and I use it. Don’t care if someone in the past did it already, I sat down and coded my own one. It’s all experience and a good feeling in the end~!

Since I’m all for experimenting and gaining experience with programming, I also follow some tutorials on YouTube and from that’s programming blogs online. I don’t like following the instructions exactly, I like to add my own twist!

Get stuck? Use those online generators to give you a prompt on a theme or a whole idea for a next project.

I have a blog and I like to add pages and changes to the theme a bit so I make a whole ass project out of it. “Build a navigation page”, “Build an About Me page” etc.

Things I use a lot and create a project idea from it e.g. I have a lot of Tumblr-related project ideas because I use Tumblr a lot. Find something you use and do a lot and create an idea from it to work on.

Hope this answers your question!! Sorry, it’s a long post!

It's almost time for dinner. I have peace at home, on my street, in my corner of this world. But in Iran, who has? In uncountable corners of this world someone is being hurt, being murdered, harassed, tortured, beaten- and the highest probability is of them being a woman, a transgender person, a black person, a economically weak person, a mentally or physically disabled person and the likes of such.

When will it stop?! This relative brutality, this harmful tradition of controlling lives that those in power believe to be less worthy of theirs- when all of us "unworthy ones" die?

PRISON ISN'T FOR CITIZENS WITH UN-HARMING SELF EXPRESSION, IT'S FOR THE LIKES OF MORAL POLICE!!!

So many posts and blogs i can reblog to talk about this incident, of this extremely immoral and unethical and inhumane misuse of power to oppress women- once again!

The thing is this isn't just ' an incident or another incident ', no, it's just another incident that MADE it to public. It's not another dose of oppression, no, it's being talked about in masses once again only because the existing oppression brought consequences again. It wasn't glaring us in the face so for some time, now another life has been taken, it's a mass movement again.

Incidents of extreme oppression don't just appear, no, people, marginalized masses suffer and then someone among the lot breaks or is murdered and everyone around the globe is shocked!

WHY ARE YOU SHOCKED? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER PREVAILS?!!!!!! WHEN SUCH SYSTEMS FOR OPPRESSING WOMEN, BLACK PEOPLE, PEOPLE BELONGING TO ANY MINORITY EXIST?!! DON'T BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY!! IT'S NOT JUST THEIR WORLD, IT'S YOURS TOO. PLEASE SHOUT OUT, YELL, ACT, TALK, TALK TILL SOMEBODY CRIES OF THE INJUSTICE YOU SPEAK OF, TALK MORE. DO NOT BE SHOCKED, BE ANGRY. IT'S A SHIT WORLD. BE ANGRY.

nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.

In 1995 Elif Batuman started her first year at Harvard; she was in love with fiction and determined to become a writer. The child of immigrants from Turkey, she had a first name that was unfamiliar in New Jersey, where she grew up, and which had to be constantly spelled out and explained. She has said since that its four letters suggest a fitting joke about writerly aspiration: if the initial desire in a novel is to capture all of life, what is actually produced is just another set of words, a file.
