Introductory Post

Debut!

I joined SpaceHey finally after flirting with the possibility for a while (and referring back to a wicked post on old-web related services and skins!) Due to my inability to code I hadn't really participated in stuff like neocities or nekoweb. I might want to learn HTML and CSS eventually, but I've got a bit of a full plate already.

Anyways, it's nice to be here! Consider this post a more personable & extended version of my bio. If you like, relate, or wanna connect over any of the things below, I would be more than happy to! ^-^

Interests

My primary interest is linguistics! I'm particularly focused on language learning, but I do also enjoy discussing the broader field. I'm more interested in the technical aspects of linguistics— so not sociolinguistics or anything. 

Here are the languages I speak and what level I estimate myself to be:

English: L1
Español: C1

Français: B2 

日本語: N4

Português: N/A
Deutsch: A1~A2
עברית: A1

Naturally, progress is slow due to the amount of languages I've undertaken (as well as a lack of motivation to study over the years!) But I would love to speak any of these languages if anyone is interested.


As of late I've also developed a nascent interest in Canada! I'm currently almost all the way through Canadian History for Dummies (I recommend) and I hope to learn much more about the country! This intersects with my linguistics interest as well specifically in matters of Canadian Francophony! I may choose to blog about whatever I learn/read about so that I can revisit my progress and share facts with others interested ^-^


My last main interest is in Judaism! I am hoping to convert and join a Reform congregation in the future, but for now I'm still learning! If you'd like to talk to me about any topics relating to Judaism or other Jewish topics I'd love that! There's still a lot I may not know though, so keep that in mind.

I also like to collect books based on my interests! I don't do it often because I'm broke, but I have a nice little collection going! I hope to expand it in the future, too.

Media-Specific Interests

TV & Comics:
  • Madoka Magica

Old Web

What attracts me to the old web? A couple things! I've flip-flopped back and forth between loving and hating the internet, and that has a lot to do with oversaturated social media websites. 

I like the Old Web because it was a time of vibrancy and allowed for self-expression that is less abundant in today's largest platforms. Even YouTube once had a lot more customization! Also, at the time the internet was less saturated. People weren't making videos or making posts online for the paycheck— they were doing it to express themselves! And while this is still the case for most internet users, I feel that more niche spaces are natural filters for this kind of thing.

Most importantly: I just like the aura of the Old Web Revival. It's fun and vibrant and I wanna be part of it somehow!
