>> I plan to apply for an extension for my post-graduate degree <<

What degree?

>> I like the budding trees and flowers, the birds and the warmth. <<

If you haven't found these yet, check out birdfeeding for discussions and occasional photos of birds and common_nature for photos and occasional discussions of all things nature such as hiking or gardening.

>>I might plant some herbs and flowers on our balcony, but I'm not making any promises. <<

Container gardens and balcony gardens are awesome. Consider starting small with just a birdbath and a pot or two of flowers that will bloom a long time with little care (e.g. marigolds, petunias).

>>I've had my journal for years but only now started using it. I'd love to post quite often, a few times a week.<<

Consider recurring posts. They're good for maintaining activity, and they help pin down your main topics.

>> It's a MA degree in cultural studies, and I plan to write my thesis on safer spaces.<<

How exciting! I'd enjoy reading about that.

I write about such things often. You might like my Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, and Spirituality tags. If you look at my Serial Poetry page, you'll see that some series are anchored in different specific cultures and/or deal with mixed cultures.

Just as a recent example, "What Herbs Go Well" has some discussion about halal and haram foods, and how to handle that in a mixed-culture situation, when both group and individual standards can vary in the details. That's from the Rutledge thread of Polychrome Heroics with a cluster of Syrian refugees in Vermont.

Regarding safer spaces, I have entries on "Quiet Rooms" and "Shock Rooms." Other things like friendship rooms or QUILTBAG clubs are more scattered.

>> Thank you for the tips and recommendations! Dreamwidth should pay you for your service :D

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service. I want the platform to succeed, so I try to reach out to folks when possible, and provide resources.
