hayao miyazaki on ableism re: AI depicting “zombie”-like movements:

presenter:

miyazaki:

the last part usually gets quoted out of context as a meme or to paint miyazaki as an unreasonable grump but he was speaking against the ableist usage of disabled people’s movements for shock value & evoking ‘grotesquery.’

we are not made to endure alone! we are not made to endure alone.

Y'all, sometimes it's not your trauma or the disorder or the way you process information. Sometimes you're just in the wrong and you could have behaved better. Sometimes you're just a dickhead and you gotta recognize it and own it.

Knowing the difference is tough, but it really does help you on the road to recovery or on the road to managing your symptoms. Taking the time to recognize that in myself helps me know when I can give more or when I really do need help and understanding. Sometimes we are just assholes and that's when you gotta go "I'm sorry, what can I do moving forward?" And in that asking? You get to explain where you need help.

I wanted to take a bit of a break after all the stuff I had due last week, but the grind continues. At least the weather is gloomy to match my outlook on free time.

September 10th, 2020 // 🍁 i’ve yet to buy a pot for my new succulent friend.. but he needs a name first, so leave your ideas in the tags !

[gaymarieantoinette-deactivated2]

just found out i’m supposed to study the subjects i’m not naturally proficient in instead of devoting all my time to the classes that don’t bore me to tears. apparently when i get low grades in a class i’m uninterested in i’m supposed to “work hard to make it up” instead of brushing it off and continuing to do my own thing? don’t know how to feel about this news.

hey friends!! a lot of you ask me for tips on things all the time + this is just some really good advice i’ve learnt throughout my years of being a student shared with you:

revision

study frequently so when exams/tests come by you only need to revise your shorter notes [you will thank yourself later]

i know it’s tedious but try to always do your homework [it’ll help you in the long run]

do your readings before class, this will help you understand better!!

use time wisely, for example study on the bus on the way to school [i really like doing this]

teach yourself material by giving lessons to soft toys or maybe using actual tools found in your household [i like using this method particularly for biology especially with water]

if you have to read to revise, read aloud

record yourself to be able to listen later when on the bus or something [i like doing this with poetry]

make sure to always get enough sleep, it’s not worth it losing sleep over studying! [also i find it better to wake up a little early to revise than sleep late]

incense works wonders if you’re trying to calm yourself down whilst studying

keep a hot beverage around when you’re studying + reward yourself by drinking a little bit of it when you want to

get rid of distractions while you’re studying, put your phone on flight mode or leave it to charge somewhere

if music doesn’t hinder your attention span, then listen to it whilst studying/doing homework [i suggest classical music/coffee shop noises/rain sounds] ~ [my spotify playlist // classical favourites // get ur studying on // flourishment]

watch videos on a particular topic before you cover it in class

if your syllabuses are available online, download them + print them out

have an organised desk, it helps you feel less stressed

use the pomodoro technique to study

make sure you have good lighting

work out past exam papers if they’re available to you, these are really good practice for your exam!

talk to your teachers during their office hours if you need to, that’s what they’re there for

if you’re too afraid to do the latter, send them an email when you need them!

have different files for every subject to keep you organised

don’t neglect any subject- just give them the time they need + prioritise

use a planner/bullet journal to help you plan your week

school stuff

smile at people, you have no idea how much it could brighten their day [plus your smile is great!!!]

always keep a water bottle handy

make your school lunch in the evening so you can sleep a bit more in the morning + not spend your money on school lunches

always take your headphones + charger to school [if they’re allowed]

keep some emergency money or something in your pencil case, you never know when you might need them!

if you menstruate make sure to keep a bag with stuff for when you’re menstruating [if not for you, maybe your friends may need something too]

take naps on the bus if the journey is long [make sure you don’t sleep + end up on the other side of the city/country]

if you have free lessons, utilise them! do your work at school if it can be done there so you are able to study/relax at home!

always take a book with you to school just in case you ever get bored

go to a guidance counselour if you need one [they can help with practically anything you may need!] 

go to private tutoring lessons if you need them/can afford them

personal life

take pictures, lots of them!!! not just for instagram or something, they’re actually a really great memory

don’t forget to visit your relatives every now and then

watch the news/read articles to help you stay in touch with the real world

don’t worry so much about social media honestly from experience, it’s trivial anyway. indulge yourself in the real world + spend time with family and friends!!

don’t compare yourself to others, you’re not them + they are not you!

try to get some exercise done, even if it’s just using the stairs instead of a lift or dancing around in your room

always keep yourself hydrated

remember to take a day off once a week, it’ll help you avoid burnout

eat fruits/nuts as a snack!!
