Så I just got my confirmation status - I am no longer unemployed aka I am a freelancer now. This was a very risky decision to make, så if you happen to know someone who would have some suitable gigs for me, please let me know 🙏

In the meantime, I will continue figuring out what Finns want

How Westerners view witches: they hex people, either sexualised image or ugly

How me, a Lithuanian, views witches: herbal tea, medicinal herbs and all kinds of herbal potions and crafts that help one heal faster. Usually an old woman that radiates peace and calm

Maybe all these bloodthirsty dictators need is some video game. Keeps them from killing innocents, they prolly also feel fulfilled

Everyone in Ukraine is superhuman. It’s sad when one has to be that, but the credit’s due.

I remember when a postcard from Greece took one month to reach Lithuania, and a whole ass Ukrainian package with a dress in it arrived in less than a week.

Why Ireland should he considered as the honorary 4th Baltic state:

1) love for potatoes
2) abusive, mean imperialistic neighbour and trauma related to it
3) Catholics, more company for Lithuanians

Patreon will be updated weekly. The cost of membership is 10€ and I want to make it worth it. It’s currently work in progress.

Btw the latter prerecorded stuff will be shared with all my students just like that, no extra payments needed.

That being said, I will prolly take one A1.1 group in January and one or two A1.2, no individual students taken anymore.

Anyways I opened a Patreon. It’s called LithuanianAS.

I am sharing the texts I have prepared for my students, focus on the beginners, exercises coming in next week and also eventually I will start uploading the prerecorded lessons (short clips with topical speaking+short grammar explanation)

That is very possible imho. It’s some kind of inferiority complex where many of our youth thinks that we have to mimic whatever ‘the West’ does, without filtering out all the obvious bs in that ‘the West’.

When you signed up to be a sugar baby, but your husband becomes the President and is så damn bad at it that you have to run a campaign about returning the Ukrainian children to their families, ‘cause it kinda makes you look as bad and you’re definitely gonna live longer than him

Ughhh. The crowd to whom this is all about whom you hate more - Jews or Muslims. “How about we deport the Jews back to Europe” vs “lol Arabs getting killed” 😫😫😫
Makes me feel awful for the people actually suffering, their tragedy attracts the worst of humanity

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

Ceasefire in Gaza, unfortunately, is just letting people take a break from extreme suffering.

They’re gonna make it seem like it’s a big deal, but it’s yet another ceasefire
