Reblog If You Think Asexuality Is Normal And Valid

Hey, just a quick question. Can Carter be used as a female name? I'm a trans girl and that's really the only thing I'm ok with is my name.

Any person of any gender can use any name.This website shows quite a few people who named their baby girls Carter. It’s a cute name! Someone, I think Ty Turner? made a video about keeping your old name when you transition, and in it, his cousin, who was a trans woman, kept her birth name Tristan. I’ve mostly met guys named Tristan, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a girl and rock it! If you like Carter, and you’re a girl, it’s a girl’s name!

Back to school - What’s on my phone?

Okay so I don’t know about you guys, but I used to be obsessed with what’s on my phone videos. And with back to school season being at full force, I have decided to make a what’s on my phone, but talk about apps I use for school, and anything that helps me stay productive/active (including routine)

For this post I’ll have a bunch of screenshots, so sorry in advance if it’s long. I’ll order them by category, so you can easily find whatever you might be interested in.

This is my homescreen/school folder (some apps are covered up because of privacy reasons). Wallpaper by @emmastudies. It also shows most apps I’ll be talking about in this post.

Planning/Time Managment

App #1: Wunderlist

It’s a basic to-do app, but I now also use it for keeping track of other tasks. In the app I have 4 different lists. Main (for basic tasks), schoolwork (homework and essays), social media to do (which has 5 sub lists; youtube, studyblr, langblr, studygram, and main instagram), and to buy (for groceries, but also my school supplies checklist, makeup checklist, ect.)

It is really easy to keep track of everything, as it allows you to add due dates, reminders, notes, and even attachments to your tasks. You can also add sub-tasks, so if it’s a step by step task you can add those in too. And the best part, you can sync it with other users, so if you have a group project you can add them to the task or list (if you have multiple tasks together) and keep track of each other’s progress too.

I definetly recommend this app for anyone that needs to be more organised.

App #2: Days–

Sadly this app isn’t actually available in the app store anymore, as the maker of the app discontinued it. However, you can still get an apk to install, which I will link here. (Download on your pc or laptop, scan for any virusses, then send to your phone to install. It was save for me, but you can never be too carful)

I use this app for events and big tasks. It’s kind of like a countdown app. I added in each event or big tasks, and it orders it by when the deadline/event is, so I can see how much longer I have to either prepare or finish it. I also added in birthdays so I can see how much longer I have to prepare a gift/party. The color coding option in the app is also really nice. I color coded it as follows:

Red = Events (mostly concerts)

Yellow = Birthdays

Green = Release dates (music I look forward too, movies, ect.)

Blue = School stuff (first day of school, tests, ect.)

Purple = Other

Although I mainly use it for looking at how long until my next concert, it’s actually really useful to plan study/work sessions for school tests or projects. Instead of having to count days/weeks towards due dates and than devide my time up, I can just look at the app, see how long I have left, and devide it up then. And because it takes up barely any space, I feel like it’s a nice bonus to have on my phone that isn’t necessarily an essential, but it’s also not in the way of any other apps.

App #3: Google Calendar

Now this I don’t really need to explain. It’s a calendar. It syncs with your Google account, and it has a really clean interface with a lot of options for personalisation.

For privacy reasons I didn’t take a screenshot of my own agenda, but I did add pictures from Google themselves.

App #4: Quality Time

I don’t know about you guys, but I usually spend way too much time on my phone. So I got an app that warns me when I have spend either too much time in total, or on one app in specific. You can set your own time limits for each app (or set it as unlimited) and a limit of how much you want to be on your phone in total. It won’t shut you out of apps after the time has run out, but it does keep track, which is really useful in my opinion.

Here I have added a screenshot of a few days ago. 

Studying

App #1: Forest

A lot of you already know about this app, but I’ll still talk about what it does a little bit. Basically, you plant a tree, and you can’t use your phone until the tree has grown (you can set the time that it takes to grow yourself). If you do touch your phone before it grows, the tree dies. It helps with concentration, as it eliminates phone usage while studying.

Here is my forest from today. I like to use it for more than just studying (working out, reading, ect.), so my forest time is a bit long today.

App #2: Memrise

I talked about this app before, but I’ll talk about it again. It basically is an app that you can use to learn a new language! It has a bunch of languages included, and is really easy. It also feels a bit like a game because of the levels/experience system it uses. The more you practise, the more your character levels up! It also sorts it’s vocab lists by category, so you aren’t just learning random words, which is nice. (I just finished learning how to use regular verbs, and after that I’ll start with describing my emotions/thought in Spanish)

App #3: Quizlet

This is an app that literally everyone should have. It basically is a community driven flashcard app. Need to practise vocab? Make a flashcard set, or see if someone else has on that topic already. Need to learn dates of the French Revolution? Make flashcards! It is really easy to use, and has a bunch of modes you can use to learn your topic, including multiple choice, writing it out, and matching (matching is great for learning dates in my opinion)

I used this app at least once a week last semester, so I definetly recommend it.

Miscellaneous

App #1: Sleep Cycle

This app has literally made me into a morning person. It tracks your sleep pattern, and calculates the best time to wake you up! Set the limit on when you have to be awake, and the app will wake you up at the best time within 30 minutes of your limit. It tracks your movement in your sleep using either the movement censor or the microphone in your phone (you can choose which).

Not only that, I personally also really like looking at my graph of how I slept throughout the night.

Other apps you might want to put in your school folder:

Audio recorder (for lectures)

Office apps (word, powerpoint, excel, ect.), or another app that covers the same document types (for example, Polaris)

Calculator (I also recommend you check out Photomath if you’re doing any math related subjects)

And that’s the end of this post!

Like I said before, you probably already knew of most of these, but for those who didn’t I hope this was helpful! Any apps you’d recommend? Use the comments or reblog to let others know!

I normally wouldn't do this, but I am in need. My parents have kicked me out because of my gender identity and their strict religious upbringing, I have lost my job, and I am in need until I can find another job. My girlfriend is helping me how she can but right now, I have no home, no job and no money. Please help a transgirl out how you can.

Edit: just adding some info. My dad has been emotionally abusive and manipulative, making me pay for stuff out of the blue, draining my money when I was trying to save. I'm trying to focus on finishing school in a few weeks (I am 18 and in college), but it was impossible to do so with my job, which constantly made me stressed and sick, as I worked the late hours of night, right after I got out of school and not getting home until 1 in the morning.

Anywhere I could go would be I would have to start over, but right now, I have no money to do that, so that's why I'm asking for help.

The World’s First Lingerie Brand For Transgender Women Is Here

Carmen Liu, trans woman and entrepreneur, has launched a lingerie collection for trans women.

She says:

“I had this business idea circulating in my mind for two years, thinking of how I would design the lingerie if I had the opportunity,” she says. “I wouldn’t say there was lightbulb moment as such. The idea hit me due to pure frustration of not being able to buy lingerie. Once I got the green light I began working 16 hours most days to cover every detail and possible option that would benefit and bring positive change to our community.”

This is a line that also fits transgender women who have not had  gender confirmation surgery.

How To Block Hateful Anons

AKA: THAT THING THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU CAN DO…

July 29, 2019

If you’re new to Tumblr, or just haven’t sorted this out yet, YES, you can block those hateful anons. 

Let’s say this here was a hateful anon. (which it isn’t) All you have to do to block them, is to sign on from a laptop or PC, (you can’t do it from your app) and click the three little dots there on the bottom right of the message.

Hit “BLOCK”. You don’t get to know who they are, but you do block their IP address, so you don’t have to worry about hate coming from that same avenue again. 

(Please reblog this post, and practice restraint with those hateful anons. Do not respond and lend them your stage. Rather, sign on to a laptop or PC, block that hater, and delete that hate.)
