I’ve Said This Before And I’ll Say It Again But It Is Absolutely An Example Of Civilizational Inadequacy

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

Tsorin Answered Your Question “Doodle Night”

The last one for yesterday’s Doodle Night (that actually went on until morning). I had an urgent business to attend after doing chibi 707 and after that I basically passed out lol. Sorry for the lateness.

And thank you everyone who gave suggestions! With this, Doodle Night ends.

Hi! I am just beginning to learn French and I'm so lost on to where to start and everything. So I was wondering if you had any tips for someone who's just starting to learn French? And if you have any recommendations? Thank you so much ✨✨

i’m so glad you decided to get in touch, thank you!! 

i’ve linked all resources in a small icon that looks like this: (x)

first of all i reccomend learning some french phonics and the rules of the french alphabet. learn the way each letter is pronounced - especially accents as that can really help you in spelling and pronunciation. (x) i’d reccomend, following some of the studyblrs that i’ll leave at the bottom of this post, to find some french notes in your feed - the studyblr community is so helpful when it comes to learning languages - not to mention, you’ve got the whole langblr community too! go ahead, start following some french and langblr tags!

then move on to learning basic phrases, vocab and words, so you can start forming sentences. learn words like ‘mais’, meaning ‘but’, and ‘parce que’, meaning ‘because’. for learning these basics, i reccomend looking through my pinterest board dedicated to the french language! (x)⇢ as you learn vocab, learn the gender with the word - it will help you so much in the future!

as you learn more, you’ll need to start learning about verbs, start off by learning verb endings: the -er endings, the -re endings and the -ir endings for the present tense; do the same for the other tenses. ⇢ you will find that quizlet (and the internet in general), will be your best friend for this!THERE YOU GO! YOUR FIRST RULE COPLETED :)

once you’ve learnt the basics, start learning some more rules, BUT DON’T LET THE RULES OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE SCARE YOU - admittedly they can be hard to get your head around, but they’re some of the most important things to learn - it’s the difference between someone who is grammatically correct, and someone who is not - and we all love to sound smart don’t we!

find someone to practise with, make an internet friend who studies french; one that is french, would be even better! if you’re not into making internet friends with random people, try speaking to some of the french studying studyblrs, that i’ll leave at the bottom of this post. or perhaps, just talk to me! i’ve only been learning french for two years, but i’m top of my year / grade, and i have some decent conversational skills, to say the least.

REMEMBER:⇢ do it because you love it, learn a few more phrase and vocab lists, because they interest you - it’ll become more and more motivational - trust me!⇢ get in the mood to learn french: learn about their culture, eat some of their food, listen to some of their music etc. 

AN HONORABLE MENTION:@studiyng​ wrote an amazing masterpost on how to learn a new language, which could be ever so helpful to so many people, so i’ll just leave this here! (x)

STUDYBLRS WHO STUDY AND POST FRENCH CONTENT:@getshitdonetbh​ @acadreamic​ @frenchaise​ @kaz-studies​ @in-search-of-paris​ @studyoblivion​ @thewritersblock707 @hystorically @smallstudyblrsunite @intelliqents @juliasacads @studyingsian @alistudys @womenstudy @etudiebee @cypherstudys @julesstudyblr

Medical School Interviews

Across the UK hopeful medics will have sent off their applications and are eagerly awaiting for an interview. Considering I was in the same position a literal year ago I thought I would share some advice for the interviews. Unfortunately, I can’t disclose what interview questions I got but I can give some general tips that really helped me. 

First, I thought I would give some background to my application. I applied to 4 medical schools that were all MMI so the advice I am about to give is more geared towards MMI style interviews. I was very fortunate to get 3 interviews and 3 offers for medicine.

Look at the Medical Schools website. Each medical school tends to outline the qualities they are looking for at interview on their website. Think of specific examples for each quality and practice how you have used/developed said quality and why this would make you a good doctor.

Stay away from Student Room. The number of people that told me to stay away from student room was enormous and yet I still ignored them and checked. All it does is scare you and makes you panic. It’s not worth the stress at all. Just focus on your application and nobody else’s. 

Be professional. Medical schools really value professionalism and teach it throughout medical school. However, there is the expectation for you to have a certain level of professionalism before you enter medical school. Little things such as what you wear can make a big impact. For example, guys tended to wear suits at the interview however it isn’t necessary to as long as you are dressed smart then it is okay. Arrive on time. It looks really bad if you arrive late to your interview and you will also probably be really stressed as well which won’t help at all. If you are going to be late ring the medical school well in advance.

Some interviewers may be mean. I wish someone had told me this. Interviewers are there to test certain skills and therefore may be appear to be really brutal to you. Remember, that is what they are there for, stay calm and prove to them that you can handle it. This is essential as not every patient is going to be compliant and they need to test that you are able to cope with it.

Stay up to date with the news. When I had my interviews, the junior doctor contract was very hot in the news so I read around the topic. However, medical schools expect that of you and will probably not test you about that as it doesn’t really show anything that makes you stand out. But keeping up to date with scientific advancements in the medical field will put you in good stead.

Be honest. I think this is probably the most important tip I have. If you do not know something, then tell them that you don’t know it. The person asking will probably have a lot of expertise on the subject and will be able to tell when you are waffling. A lot of the time they are trying to see if you are brave enough to say you do not know rather than seeing if you actually do know something on that topic. Remember that a responsible doctor is one that stays within their limits and admits that they do not know something. If you are quite competent on the subject, then do talk about it however do not feel pressured to have a conversation with them about it. 

So there are all my general tips! I just want to finish with saying that please don’t worry if you mess up a station. MMIs typically have 7/8 stations, you are judged on all the stations not just one, so take a deep breath and smash the other ones. If anyone has any questions regarding interviews just send me a message.

Good luck to everyone applying!

I'm pretty sure the "man wearing a kippah is about to enter a temple, but covers his wheelchair wheels with a cover to keep the inside of the temple as clean as possible." Is probably man actually entering a mosque, and it's quite common for men to wear a headcap of some kind for prayer. The architecture also implies it's a mosque (though you may have a synagogue in that style, especially if you are looking in the MENA region), the collective connotation I see is of a Muslim individual.

There is also not to my knowledge a concept you can't specifically bring dirt with you into a synagogue (i.e., walking with shoes/wheeling in a chair), though I suppose you shouldn't come caked in mud. However, you might see this concept of not tracking dirt specifically in a mosque both for practical reasons (carpeting) or generally as a sign of respect.

Not related to the issue of legislation, but this write up is done poorly (if I'm reading it correctly) the data was taken from a survey of a total of n=1,036 respondents, and the data related to who answered they actually moved states can be seen below. As we can see these numbers are actually very very small. I don't think you can "blow up" that data to then reflect the larger population. The headline gives an extremely large number, which is an extrapolation of data from a relatively small pool of the estimated hundreds of thousands, as the respondents (as can be seen below) who valued that choice aren't even the size of an average college class. I'd need to run more statistical analysis for how bad the skew is in moving from this sample size, but it's quite problematic at least in my research experience. The main issue comes when we break down the raw numbers, with it being only a few respondents who have actually verified indeed they have moved, while the title of the article implies we have reports indicating hundreds of thousands.

Not Related To The Issue Of Legislation, But This Write Up Is Done Poorly (if I'm Reading It Correctly)

I think it is always helpful to make sure we frame headlines in ways that are truthful, a much better claim would be to see this is the number that "may have fled/will flee", as the original wording makes it sound like they actually tracked that count which doesn't seem to be the case.

Approximately 130,000 - 260,000 Americans have been forced to flee their homes because of legislation criminalizing trans existence.

US Internal Refugee Crisis: 130-260k Trans People Have Already Fled
open.substack.com
A growing refugee crisis is occurring in the United States, and it is getting very little coverage. I highlight the growing migration crisis

That’s 8% of transgender Americans. An additional 43% of transgender Americans are seriously considering moving due to laws criminalizing our existence and healthcare.

“So many people are completely helpless to get out, even with all the bumps and roadblocks, the fact is I'm still one of the lucky ones.” Said Sheena, a trans woman who fled from from Florida.

“it's evident that the United States is in the throes of a swelling crisis of internally displaced political refugees. Over a million people, themselves contemplating relocation in the coming months, remain in a state of apprehensive vigilance, awaiting the potential signal that they too must bid farewell to their homes.”
