No zero days in 2023 langblr challenge

The idea is to spend every day of 2023 engaging in both of my languages (Icelandic and German) every single day. Even if it's just a few minutes on an app or a short video, I have to spend at least a little bit of time with each of my languages. The underlying concept is to force myself to develop some sort of routine.

I will be filling out a google sheet-based heatmap to visualize my progress, which can be found here (you can make a copy!), and I'll post screenshots of it every day, as well as telling what I did that day in both languages!

If you want to participate with me, you can! You don't have to do it for the whole year, you can pick a month or a season or whatever feels right. The tag I'll be using will be #no zero days 2023 langblr. You can tag me in your posts as well, I'm excited to see your progress!

Catch me in January :)

I have a plan to spend every day of October engaging in my target language. Every single day. 1-2 hours a day would be ideal but I know days may vary. So even if it's a short video or 10 min on app still will be better than nothing. Hope this challenge help me to improve my German. Let's see if I can stay consistent. I will try to post update every other day.

No Zero Days 1-7/365

Keine null Tage 1-7/365

Saw this challenge and it matched up with one of my learning goals so I’m joining! I’ve been trying to get into the habit of doing something for german every day. Posting daily feels daunting to me so instead I’m planning to do it at least once a week as part of my reflection and study review.

This week I did very little, which at first I felt like I wasn’t reaching my goal. But I truly have done something every day. I want to intentionally consume German either through speaking, listening, reading, or writing. Since I live with native speakers, I’ve decided to not count hearing their conversations unless I’m actively paying attention to their wording. Below is my review of the week and what I can recall.

The 1st through the 3rd I did my minimum, either looking at vocabulary, duo, watching a video, something small and for 5 minutes (or likely less). On the 4th I did a bit more, I looked up words for a topic (Die Astronomie, Die Sonnensystem) and started a new vocabulary list (about 30m). The 5th was my longest day this week, I did one of my German units which takes me an hour sometimes more. The 6th I watched a few videos in the morning for learning tips, and later listened to a German streamer. Today I reflected on what I learned earlier in the week and reviewed vocabulary.

Completing 1-2 units a week is another goal of mine. I worked on unit 10 - Die Uhrzeit. I practiced asking for and telling the time, writing about leisure activities, and creating more complex sentences. My bf checked my writing for me and I only had 2 mistakes! I was really excited about it.

No Zero Days 2023: 6/1/2023

立ち止まっている暇なんてない

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

【Reading】

Read two pages of 世界の歴史366 because I missed yesterday

took a closer look at the lyrics of アトラクトライト by *Luna but no translation or vocab list (yet)。読みながら涙が出るほど感動した

【Listening】

Joined a 雑談 by Seraph Dazzlegarden for maybe 30min. Understood some bits for once but he still talks too fast and not clear enough for my smooth brain haha

listened to アトラクトライト by *Luna a couple of times too

Second week of 2023 review

i attended a work related meeting in another city and met with two friends i haven't seen since 2020 (college days) it was fun and comforting

Officially started learning italian instead of just compiling resources and hoping for the best. I took my first online lecture, and though it was a little overwhelming, like starting anything usually is, im still super excited for what's coming

My work schedule changed to 5 days a week instead of 3 days a week, which is very, very upsetting since my free time is nonexistent now and all i want to do when i get home is pass out on the couch but i will find a way to get around that, hopefully it's temporary like they claim.

I'm officially one month clean, which hasn't happened since 2020, and i hope i dont jinx it by talking about it.

I've been reading more stories in hebrew, and I've noticed that I've been struggling less with speaking

#no zero days

[secretmellowblog]

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.

But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.

The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.

This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.

Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.

So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-

And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—

And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!

If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.

The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.

It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)

I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.

I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.

The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win

#November 5th #november 5 2020 #the fifth of november #just a random ramble #November 5th 2020 is such an important day to me #it really is a holiday #but it does confuse me when I see people analyzing it primarily as a supernatural thing #instead of a ‘hysteria over an election reaches a breaking point when inane zero stakes fandom news comes out and we all latch onto it’thing #but yeah!! #this is my personal essay out of love for the holiday

[teaboot]

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.

Day 1/365: 1.1.2023

Alright, let's go! I feel like I had a nice start of the challenge today, I'm pretty happy with what I did.

Icelandic

Clozemaster, 30m: only reviews today because a lot of them have piled up, so I haven't learned anything new from there today, really.

Chapter 5 of Harry Potter og viskusteinninn, 1h 15m: I've been reading the first Harry Potter book on and off, and a chapter ago I finally allowed myself to just read and only look up things when I am totally lost, without making tons of flashcards. Immersion!

Total: 1h 46m

German

25m on Lingvist: I haven't touched this one in a long while, but since I have access to it until november, why not. Only did revision there as well, mostly because I forgot a lot of the words. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle all these forgotten words soon!

Note: I've replaced the link in the original post with an empty version of the heatmap, so that it's easier to make a copy of it if someone decides to join later. Also thank you to everyone who has decided to participate with me, I'm so excited to see your progress!

No Zero Days 15-21/365

Keine null Tage 15-21/365

Last week’s learning! I’ve noticed I tend to do less Sunday through Tuesday with Wednesday and Thursday being more productive. Three days I studied for over an hour!

I studied flashcards through GermanPod101 and my handwritten ones, used duolingo for quick review, read 3 short stories and practiced their vocabulary, attempted German tongue twisters, and completed unit 11 of my book. I started keeping a log of each study session. I write the day, activity, resource, and time I spent on it.
