Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books  that I try to update regularly 

UPDATE because apparently not everyone has seen this yet the new and improved version of this is a MEGA folder

I know there’s so many more urgent things but if you like this resource you may consider buying me a ko-fi to keep this project alive

Reblogging myself to add that the difference between langblr and other language learning communities is that here I get thousands of notes and people telling me they desire me carnally (side note: please don’t say this to a stranger)

And on other platforms it gets deleted because Piracy Bad :(

For the new year here is an FAQ

Is this still being updated? Yes, although currently sporadically because I’m very busy with grad school.

Can you add X language? As long as you ask nicely and the language isn’t already there I’ll try my best, although see above. Sometimes I don’t find resources though but I try to keep a list and periodically check again.

Can I send you files to add to the folder? Yes, you can send me links to them or ask me for my email address.

The folder is empty? Is it the Google drive? In that case please try the MEGA folder instead. If it’s the MEGA folder please DM me so I can send you the link again.

It asks for an encryption key? I don’t know why it does that sometimes but if this happens please DM me for the key.

I found a mistake in the folders? Thank you for telling me, I will try to fix it with the next update.

Do the ko-fi donations pay for the server costs? For legal reasons, no. I don’t want me, you or ko-fi to get into trouble. I am paying the server costs out of pocket (49€ a year) but the donations are used to balance out that fact by allowing me to acquire resources for the folder or for my daily life (I’m a poor grad student lol), support linguistic diversity through charities. No one is required to donate and I hope that once I have a stable job I won’t need donations, but currently every little bit helps.

Isn’t this piracy? Not if no one finds out so don’t you dare narc on me.

“sexual comment” I know this is meant as a compliment here but please don’t say these things to strangers

So a lot of people think cut/fresh flowers are really expensive or decadent, and that it’s not worth buying them when they’re at a reduced price because they’ll die within about a day and it’s still Too Expensive and like I just. I need to let you know that it isn’t true and unless it’s a super special occasion and you’re going to an actual florist for an actual special bouquet you don’t have to, nay shouldn’t, pay full price for flowers ever.

I mean I can only really speak for the UK where you can get flowers in the grocery store which is naturally cheaper than a florist, and also where I always get mine, but the techniques apply to “anywhere one can obtain a bunch of flowers”

If you take care of your cut flowers - which don’t worry isn’t hard - the slightly sad looking slightly wilty half price ones will STILL last you two weeks.

Observe:

Everything in that vase except the dark red flowers and the ivory roses was purchased, half wilted, in the reduced bucket an ENTIRE WEEK ago. The dark reds and ivories? TWO WEEKS  (I don’t normally premade bouquets because they end up in the reduced less often and even when they do they’re still more expensive than getting a few bunches of different types of flowers)

TWO. WEEKS. From a wilted half price “we are become death” state.

Here’s what it looked like a whole entire week ago when I put the new flowers in:

(the big yellow bastard in the bottom left is also from the previous week)

I mean they’ve still “hardly wilted” now and if I was so inclined I could leave it another couple of days, but this is normally the point at which I remove them and put new flowers in the gaps. Also, cut off the heads and keep them for a bath. You’ll feel So Fucking Fancy and it cost you nothing.

So how do you revive sad looking cut flowers, cheat the system, and have a permanent display of vibrant colourful BUT ULTIMATELY CHEAP AS SHIT flowers in your home?

1. Remove the leaves. You can remove all of them if you like but the most important thing is removing leaves along the length of the stem which will be in water. If leaves are submerged they will begin to rot and just kill everything. You can keep the ones that poke out above the vase for bulk and Oooh Pretty Green if you want, or not.

2. Trim the stems with SHARP and CLEAN (preferably steralised by dunking in some boiling water) scissors or a SHARP and CLEAN knife. Do so at an angle. Chances are you need to shorten the stems so they fit in your vase properly anyway, but doing this allows for better uptake of water and nutrients.

3. Use a CLEAN container. If there’s a bit of grossness hanging around from previous flowers, scrub that shit out.

4. Give them cool water. I live in an area with very soft water so I don’t have to do anything, but if you don’t then either filtering it or letting it stand for a few hours first will help.

5. Use flower feed! Most bunches, at least over here, come with a wee sachet of flower food. If you DON’T get a sachet of feed you can MAKE YOUR OWN. It’s super easy. You need 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of regular white sugar and half a teaspoon of bleach (yes really) per 1 litre (quart) of water. You won’t need a whole litre, obviously, but you can keep it in the cupboard in a bottle or just scale down the recipe. Put a teaspoon (or two if you have a big pitcher style vase) in your water. Different flower types optimally need different levels of sugar and you can totally look up what that ratio is if you only have one kind (like all roses or something) but 1 tablespoon: 1 litre works well enough.

Now that your flowers are back to life, you can keep them looking good for a decent long while

1. Remove dead/wilted heads either as and when you see them or just like once a week (I’m lazy, I just do it once a week)

2. Remove any leaves that are going the same way

3. Once a week, change out the water. Fish out any plant material that may have fallen in, rinse the container, put in new water and feed.

4. When you’re doing the water change, give the stems another small trim. Only 1cm (half an inch) or so, unless the bottom of the stem is going pale and a bit limp looking, in which case lop off as much of that part as you can whilst still being able to fit them in the vase properly. If they end up noticably shorter than the others, just keep those ones to the outside of the arrangement OR put them in the middle and use the other flowers to keep them propped up within the water so they appear the same height.

5. Replace removed dead flowers with ones from your next cut-price bunch. That way you’re a) keeping a perpetual but ever-changing bouquet and b) need to buy less flowers at once than just waiting for everything to die off and replacing the whole thing.

Cut flowers make me happy. I’m sure having a nice beautiful bunch of colourful flowers in your room makes you happy too, and you absolutely don’t need to spend a fortune to make that happen.
