women on here will read hundreds of pages of terrible books and poetry and essays just to find the few out of context lines that make sense when joined by other media they consumed and then theyll even arrange it like a careful florist n add some art to it that fits with the theme . like thank you God i love you all so much for it
good music should beat the shit out of you
sorry for romanticizing the mundane but the fact that laughter is infectious is so incredible to me. like yeah it's just a reaction to stimuli but the way it feels to hear someone laugh and feel yourself compelled to share that joy is really something. and it's so simple and requires no skill but it's so special and important to me.
take the sadness out of saturday night is like. i am living in the shadow of my mother’s grief. i need to get out of my hometown. i want to fall in love. grief has cut me off from the good parts of the world for too long. the world is on fucking fire. i want to run. come home with me. my hometown looks beautiful with you in the passenger seat. i want to feel everything there is to feel. who will i be if i set down the grief that has shaped me? so many things are bad but this band is playing like it’s their last night on earth. i want to be so big that no one could ever miss me. the only person i ever want to look at me is you. this pain has overstayed its welcome. i loved your shadow and you ran. you’re still running. you’re a stranger i know best. i’m still on your side. i can’t believe i thought loving someone else’s shadow would be enough to save me from my own. this faith can’t fill the canyon grief carved in me, but it doesn’t run as deep anymore. i have so much hope. i don’t feel like i earned any of it. what do i do with it? i am going to hold on.
a list of things remus lupin is good at:
finding people to purchase pot from
falling asleep with little or no warning, sometimes in the middle of class or conversations
never brushing his hair
smacking people in the face with his elbows when he’s excited about a story he’s telling
making bacon sandwiches
wearing mismatched socks
remembering in which old book he can find very obscure spells or pieces of information
giving head
making terrible puns and cackling at them even when nobody else in the entire world thinks they’re funny
winning arguments when he’s stoned
being emotionally masochistic and overdramatic inside his head but never telling anyone else about his problems
not holding children even when asked to pick them up
making lists that he throws away ten minutes later
i literally love the rain so much when cars slow down and people hide in the stores and restaurants or bus stops with strangers or when they run home with plastic bags on their head or when groups of people share one umbrella i love you peace love even light and happiness on planet earth truly
i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

Please refer to this page before sending any asks, please!
I will answer questions about:
Characters
Plotting

Tropes
Fanfiction
Genres
Getting Started
And more!!!!
I will NOT answer questions about:
Things that are already on this list
The publishing/editing industry (primarily because I’m unqualified)
Children’s fiction and Nonfiction (Same reason as above)
Hyper-specific details of your WIP; I can’t tell you how to write your own story.
“Does ____ sound like a good idea?”
Anything that can be figured out with a quick Google search (i.e. how fast can cheetahs run, how long does it take to get a license, etc.)
Asking me to reblog your post, give you a shout-out, etc. This blog is just for writing content only and will remain ad-free.
Asking me to read/edit your story. I’m a college student with a very busy life who also has her own writing projects to worry about, and cannot put time aside to edit someone’s work for free. However, if you do send a message perhaps we can discuss pricing if I have the time.
Sorry, but I am quite rigid about these rules!

I’m currently working on a novel titled Wings of Faith, and often post content such as art, aesthetics, and writing updates!
Summary:
A one-winged angel must team up with a ragtag band of demons to escape from Hell. Haloes and harps must go on the backburner if it means clawing his way out of the fire, and if the world burns to ashes in his wake, so be it…because let’s be honest here: Hell’s humidity got old after, like, a day.
You can find all my Wings of Faith content under #wings of faith and #wof on my blog, (if you’re looking for progress reports, check #writing update) and feel free to check out @wiingsoffaith, a blog run by my bestest friend and fabulous beta reader @gettinhellaturnt.

white people who have signed petitions and donated if you’re able to, the next thing we should do is look inside ourselves. question your way of thinking, the way you were raised, your history books and the movies you watch. ask yourself why they look the way they do and what you’re doing to help it stay that way. you might not see yourself as a racist person, but we’ve grown up with privilege in a racist world. it’s time we pick ourselves and the way we think apart. actively seek out books and articles and documentaries by and about black people and their history. learn and share the resources you find with your white friends and family. make them understand the difference between our fear of feeling uncomfortable or scared and black peoples fear for their lives. it’s not one and the same. one of us can afford looking away and closing our eyes and the other can not. it’s about time we don’t either. it’s not a movie or show we can switch away from, it’s happening right now so wake up. to see change we must change. we must be angry, at the world and at ourselves.
to everyone in america who are protesting, please stay safe. and to every black person, black people in the lgbtq+ community, black people with disabilities: you matter, your lives matter, your safety matter, your children matter, your future matter. I love you, please stay safe❤️

ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest
everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.
1. donate
do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to “support” black people, but no one knows where the money is.
BAIL FUNDS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST)
note: washington dc and new jersey have cashless bail systems.
bail fund google doc (also includes lawyers for protestors)
national bail fund network (directory of community bail funds)
community bail funds masterpost by @keplercryptids
resistance funds (google sheets; lists bail funds around the country)
nationwide bail funds (split a donation to the bail funds listed on the linked page with a single transaction)
atlanta bail fund
brooklyn bail fund
colorado freedom fund
columbus freedom fund
houston chapter of black lives matter
liberty fund (nyc based; focuses services on people from low-income communities)
los angeles freedom fund
louisville community fund
massachusetts bail fund
minnesota freedom fund (as of may 30, 2020, they are encouraging people to donate elsewhere since they have raised enough money; as of may 29, 2020, they do not have a venmo, as some fraudulent accounts have been claiming, source)
philadelphia bail out fund
richmond bail fund
MORE PLACES TO DONATE
note: more links are listed in the masterposts below.
northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)
reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)
twin cities dsa (provides fresh groceries and hot meals to people in minneapolis)
2. educate yourself
it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.
note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.
resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)
readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)
“where do we go after ferguson?” by michael eric dyson
official black lives matter website
3. give out supplies to protestors
people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.
water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)
snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)
masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors, also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)
bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)
clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)
wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)
a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)
IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID
tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)
move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.
ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.
solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)
bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.
stop the bleed (youtube video by uc san diego health)
first aid in active shooting scenarios
making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)
how to apply pressure dressings
miscellaneous
adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati children’s; think of “staying alive” by the beegees or “uptown funk”)
4. be a source of information
be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

know your rights (by personachuu on twitter)
NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)
remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

Tips for Learning a Foreign Language:
Learning Vocabulary:
What vocabulary should I be learning?
There are hundreds of thousands of words in every language, and the large majority of them won’t be immediately relevant to you when you’re starting out.Typically, the most frequent 3000 words make up 90% of the language that a native speaker uses on any given day. Instead try to learn the most useful words in a language, and then expand outwards from there according to your needs and interests.
Choose the words you want/need to learn.
Relate them to what you already know.
Review them until they’ve reached your long-term memory.
Record them so learning is never lost.
Use them in meaningful human conversation and communication.
How should I record the vocabulary?
Learners need to see and/or hear a new word of phrase 6 to 17 times before they really know a piece of vocabulary.
Keep a careful record of new vocabulary.
Record the vocabulary in a way that is helpful to you and will ensure that you will practice the vocabulary, e.g. flashcards.
Vocabulary should be organised so that words are easier to find, e.g. alphabetically or according to topic.
Ideally when noting vocabulary you should write down not only the meaning, but the grammatical class, and example in a sentence, and where needed information about structure.
How should I practice using the vocabulary?
Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check - Use this method for learning and remembering vocabulary. This method is really good for learning spellings.
Make flashcards. Write the vocabulary on the front with the definition and examples on the back.
Draw mind maps or make visual representations of the new vocabulary groups.
Stick labels or post it notes on corresponding objects, e.g when learning kitchen vocabulary you could label items in your house.
How often should I be practising vocabulary?
A valuable technique is ‘the principle of expanding rehearsal’. This means reviewing vocabulary shortly after first learning them then at increasingly longer intervals.
Ideally, words should be reviewed:
5-10 minutes later
24 hours later
One week later
1-2 months later
6 months later
Knowing a vocabulary item well enough to use it productively means knowing:
Its written and spoken forms (spelling and pronunciation).
Its grammatical category and other grammatical information
Related words and word families, e.g. adjective, adverb, verb, noun.
Common collocations (Words that often come before or after it).
Receptive Skills: Listening and Reading
Reading is probably one of the most effective ways of building vocabulary knowledge.
Listening is also important because it occupies a big chunk of the time we spend communicating.
Tips for reading in a foreign language:
Start basic and small. Children’s books are great practice for beginners. Don’t try to dive into a novel or newspaper too early, since it can be discouraging and time consuming if you have to look up every other word.
Read things you’ve already read in your native language. The fact that you at least know the gist of the story will help you to pick up context clues, learn new vocabulary and grammatical constructions.
Read books with their accompanying audio books. Reading a book while listening to the accompanying audio will improve your “ear training”. It will also help you to learn the pronunciation of words.
Tips for listening in a foreign language:
Watch films in your target language.
Read a book while also listening along to the audio book version.
Listen to the radio in your target language.
Watch videos online in your target language.
Activities to do to show that you’ve understood what you’ve been listening to:
Try drawing a picture of what was said.
Ask yourself some questions about it and try to answer them.
Provide a summary of what was said.
Suggest what might come next in the “story.”
Translate what was said into another language.
“Talk back” to the speaker to engage in imaginary conversation.
Productive Skills: Speaking and Writing
Tips for speaking in a foreign language:
If you can, try to speak the language every day either out loud to yourself or chat to another native speaker whether it is a colleague, a friend, a tutor or a language exchange partner.
Write a list of topics and think about what you could say about each one. First you could write out your thoughts and then read them out loud. Look up the words you don’t know. You could also come up with questions at the end to ask someone else.
A really good way to improve your own speaking is to listen to how native speakers talk and imitate their accent, their rhythm of speech and tone of voice. Watch how their lips move and pay attention to the stressed sounds. You could watch interviews on YouTube or online news websites and pause every so often to copy what you have just heard. You could even sing along to songs sung in the target language.
Walk around the house and describe what you say. Say what you like or dislike about the room or the furniture or the decor. Talk about what you want to change.This gets you to practise every day vocabulary.
Tips for writing in a foreign language:
Practice writing in your target language. Keep it simple to start with. Beginner vocabulary and grammar concepts are generally very descriptive and concrete.
Practice writing by hand. Here are some things you can write out by hand:
Diary entries
Shopping lists
Reminders
What could I write about?
Write about your day, an interesting event, how you’re feeling, or what you’re thinking.
Make up a conversation between two people.
Write a letter to a friend, yourself, or a celebrity. You don’t need to send it; just writing it will be helpful.
Translate a text you’ve written in your native language into your foreign language.
Write a review or a book you’ve recently read or a film you’ve recently watched.
Write Facebook statuses, Tweets or Tumblr posts (whether you post them or not will be up to you).
Write a short story or poem.
Writing is one of the hardest things to do well as a non-native speaker of a language, because there’s no room to hide.
There are lots of ways to improve your writing ability, but they can be essentially boiled down to three key components:
Read a lot
Write a lot
Get your writing corrected
Consejos para Selectividad/PAU
For my non-Spanish speakers: This post is about the exam Spanish students have to sit if they want to go to uni, that’s why it’s in Spanish only. But you can read and practice your Spanish if you’re studying it!
Primero de todo: calma. El estrés es lo peor. Si has llegado hasta aquí la PAU es solo un paseo (a no ser que quieras entrar en Medicina)
DESCANSA. A ver, hay mucha gente que se tira desde las 8 de la mañana hasta las 2 de la madrugada estudiando, parando solo para comer. Y no es plan. Yo me despertaba a las 8.30 y me ponía a las 9. De 2.30 a 4 o así hacía siesta y a las 8 me duchaba. Y luego de cenar no estudiaba, leía un libro y me iba a dormir. Si a ti te sirve estudiar por la noche, adelante, pero no te fuerces: HAY TIEMPO.
ORGANÍZATE. Yo el día que terminé las clases me dediqué a sacar todo el material y contar las unidades que tenía, para dividir todo por días. HAZTE UN HORARIO A ORDENADOR E IMPRÍMELO. Pon lo que quieras hacer cada día y cuando lo hayas hecho lo tachas. Si no puedes más tal día, pasa parte del temario al día siguiente. Yo normalmente intercalaba días más intensos con días más “light”. Estudia primero una asignatura que te guste, luego una que no, y luego otra que sí.
HAZ PARONES. Yo paraba cuando ya me había estudiado una de las cosas que debía estudiarme cada día. Por ejemplo, me estudiaba un tema de historia y paraba. Puedes hacer lo que quieras. Yo hacía siestas de 15 minutos en cada parón.
DISEÑA UN PLAN. Tienes 1h y 30 min, así que planea antes de empezar los días de selectividad cómo vas a contestar. El orden da igual, así que empieza primero por las que valen más puntos y son más cortas, dejando las que valen menos para el final. Ya la harás luego si tienes tiempo. (En castellano, por ejemplo, empieza por la literatura y te la quitas de encima. Luego sigue con las que son más cortas. Déjate la pregunta que valga un punto para el final).
EL SORTEO. Si ves que no te da tiempo a estudiarte tantas cosas de una asignatura, se puede hacer sorteo y jugártela. Yo lo hice con castellano. No me daba tiempo a estudiarme tantos temas de literatura, así que busqué en internet qué preguntas salen más y no me estudié los otros temas. Con Literatura Universal, como son 6 libros, me estudié 5, quitándome encima el que más teoría tenía. Como tenía dos opciones, sabía que si me dejaba 1 siempre habría una opción en la que saldría uno de los 5 libros.
COME Y BEBE AGUA. Desayuna, almuerza, come, merienda y cena. Acuérdate de beber agua mientras estudias.
MUÉVETE. Vas a estar muchas horas en la silla. Cuando lleves unas horas te va a doler el culo y la espalda (yo llegué a perder peso de estar sentado). Te recomiendo que te levantes y muevas un poco el cuerpo. Yo bajaba a la panadería a comprarme el almuerzo, y así me obligaba a vestirme y a que me diera un poco el aire.
VÍSTETE. No estés todo el día en pijama, ponte ropa limpia.
DÚCHATE. Lo puedes hacer tanto por la mañana o al terminar de estudiar. Yo prefería hacerlo luego porque me despejaba.
ESCONDE TODOS LOS APARATOS ELECTRÓNICOS. Tienta mucho usar el móvil, la tablet o el ordenador. Guárdalos todos en otra habitación. Yo solo miraba WhatsApp dos o tres veces al día, para ver si algún amigo tenía alguna duda o por si el grupo de clásico estaban todos histéricos.
LLEGA A TIEMPO A LOS EXÁMENES. Recuerda salir de casa con tiempo de sobra, y estar en la facultad a la que tienes que ir también con tiempo.
MIRA LAS DOS OPCIONES. En PAU cada examen tiene dos opciones. Lee ambas atentamente antes de empezar y elige bien. Tal vez no te sepas la literatura de la opción que has escogido en castellano, pero tal vez sí sabes hacer sintaxis bien. Puedes cambiar de opción a mitad del examen, no pasa nada.
NO REPASES DURANTE LOS 5 MINUTOS PREVIOS AL EXAMEN. Tal vez tengas 1 hora o 2 horas de descanso para comer cada día. Puedes repasar, pero hacerlo mientras estás haciendo cola para entrar al examen no es bueno. Os podéis preguntar entre tus amigos y tú, pero no te agobies si sabes menos que tu amigo.
NO COMPARES CUANDO SALGAS DE LOS EXÁMENES. Esto tienta mucho, pero en las asignaturas de ciencias (las de letras pueden ser más subjetivas) no es bueno comparar los resultados con los demás, pues si no tienes lo mismo puede desanimarte.
SI UN EXAMEN TE HA SALIDO MAL, OLVÍDATE. El primer examen siempre suele salir peor (de hecho, yo en ese saqué la nota más baja de todos mis exámenes), pero tú olvídate de eso: lo hecho hecho está. Cada asignatura es distinta, y pensar que te va a salir mal no va a ayudar. HAY QUE SER POSITIVO.
LLEVA TODA LA DOCUMENTACIÓN OFICIAL. Sin DNI y todo el papeleo que se pide, olvídate de hacer los exámenes.
YOUTUBE. En YouTube hay miles de vídeos de gente dando consejos, contando su experiencia, diciendo qué hacer y qué no hay que hacer.
¡Suerte!
ANATOMY STUDY GUIDE 101
So studying anatomy is nothing like any other topic, especially when you study it at uni level, where they expect you to know every single small component of the body! So this guide is going to be concerning the musculoskeletal system and the nerves (PNS) and arteries in the body.
I have mentioned some of these tips before but I will put them in here aswell and so this can work as sort of masterpost. This is like a more “overall” type of masterpost. So if you want to have topic specific posts for example for nerves and arteries then let me know.
1. Find a study partner. First and foremost anatomy is so much easier when you are two dealing with it. Me and my study partner used to do anatomy spots together and by doing it two people together you can discuss what it could possibly be. You get to hear their train of thoughts which sometimes can be better than yours. Also you will have someone to quiz you and correct you when you say something wrong.
2. Accept that it takes time. First step to learning anatomy is dedicating a lot of time. It is not easy, you are cramming so much information into your mind and for it to stay there you will have to go over the same topic again and again and again. And I know it is really frustrating and you are going to spent maybe 10 hours trying to figure out the muscles of the leg and then next week when you review it again it will feel like a whole new topic, but this is all a part of the proces, just keep revising again and again and again.
3. The Atlas is your best friend. Invest in a good atlas, they are a little expensive but they work wonders because first of all they give you an image of what you study. And usually the text book images are not enough. In an atlas you will have “isolated” images but you will also have images where relations are shown. HOWEVER if you dont want to buy an actual atlas then maybe buy Complete anatomy which is a computer program that I also reffered to in my “5 sites every med student should know about” post. Here you can play around with the structures, view it from different angles and add on to it with other nearby structures or remove structures.
4. Say it out loud. Pretty self explanatory.
5. Create an overview. Rather than focusing on the details try to focus on creating an overview. Anatomy is already so difficult so dont complicate things for yourself. And if you know the basics then learning the details will be so much easier.
6. Use a whiteboard. Speaking of creating an overview, try using a white board for this. It is such a good way for creating an overview. I think because deleting and writing is so easy it kinda makes it less stressful than writing in a note book where ofcourse you worry about the aesthetic. Also try to do this with your study partner. You can plan on studying a topic together so lets say for example the muscles of the leg, you both at home study it, try to memorize it, look at it in an atlas and then you two meet. Now when you meet you get infront of a white board and start talking and writing about what you guys think is important and when you guys cant go any further then grab your notes and then add more on to the board.
7. MAKE IT VISUAL!. This is the most important step! Use bones, pay attention in your dissection classes, if you have the upportunity to touch, feel and look at structures then DO IT! This is the best way to learn. Spot as often as you can.
8. Make up rules. you can find a lot of them online, or just make some up yourself, me and my study partner did, for example the muscles M. erector spinae: I (m. iliocostalis) Like (m. longissimus) Standing (m. spinalis). If you turn it into a “game” then remembering it will be much easier.
And most importantly dont stress your mind that much. Allow yourself to take breaks, because over feeding your mind with knowledge in a short period of time can also be very damaging since you will waste time and not remember most of what you studied.
Good luck, stay motivated and stay dedicated
Love
