I want to own a bookstore that also doubles as a cafe and has a display of floral arrangements you can browse by the door.

Sources for Aesthetic™ Images for your headers/icons/moodboards/Notion/pages/etc that aren't Pinterest

Because eeegh it's a pet peeve of mine whenever I see idk, content and stuff that just uses "credits to pinterest" or "credits to the original creators" without linking back to the actual source, so here are some places you can find images to use that you can find who to credit easily.

Note: some of these resources have specific terms, and not all of them can be used for moodboards/headers/notion/websites/icons/etc. Pls read them on their respective websites first and credit when necessary!!

Ghibli's released screencaps of their movies, for free!

Unsplash has a lot of good photos - just type in the keyword and you can also filter by orientation and color! There are also a bunch of user collections you can look through if you have a specific theme in mind

Some keywords you can use if you're lost on what specific things to look up: [rainy/foggy/sunny/etc] window view, messy desk, vintage, urban, vending machine, hands, grunge aesthetic, crystal/gemstone, skull, foggy/hazy, flower/pressed flower, knife, jewelry, neon, minimal, crown, fountain pen, pearls, pantone

Pexels is kinda similar to unsplash

Some blogs I've found in the tags above that do credit the image source of their pngs: @/strawberry4milk, @/neptunepngs, @/honeyrolls, @/mirai-e-jump, @/png-heaven, @/soapmermaid

Hi guys! As some of you may know, I’ve been trying to switch over to Notion to stream-line all my research progress and notes in one space. Unfortunately, all the examples I found here on Tumblr and on Youtube were more geared towards a bullet journal adaptation of Notion or more undergraduate-focused use of the app, which wasn’t what I wanted to model mine after. Therefore, I decided to play around with Notion myself and ended up making it work for my purposes. Because I am using this with the intention of being more focused and having my priorities straight, I kept the theme pretty basic and efficient. I am still working on learning how to use this app for my purposes but I decided to make this post to show you guys how I set up my Notion. Feel free to message me if you ever have any questions about my set-up or would like to see more of how I set a particular page up. Some toggles and texts are blurred out for research privacy purposes since it is unpublished data. [click on individual images for full res.]

Notion Master Post ✨

I reached a personal goal with this blog so I decided to celebrate with this Master Post ✨

This is going to be a long post so I am putting it all under the cut. Notion is a free to students app that is used primarily for note taking but I can be used for so much more.

Below the cut is some resources I use to make my Notion pages useful and beautiful! I hope you enjoy and feel free to message me if you want any more information.

I think everyone should make dumb ugly zines and bad music and write shitty books with weird premises and publish them for pay what you will online. I think people should write plays that are only ever intended to be performed with their friends in their living rooms. I think people who like ttrpgs should explore bizarre itch.io games and new systems that have no affiliation whatsoever with any major publishing house. If youre lucky enough to have a cool local community radio station nearby you should listen to that and what people close to you have to say and what they're creating that has no focus on being nationally appealing. I just think creation should be more joyful and local both in a geographic sense and a personal and social sense and unconcerned with whether or not it will be commercially viable or slick or even good beyond your own pride in it. And I think it's good to seek out art that exists for its own sake or to appeal to the community it was created within

when you see someone from high school and they don’t recognize you that’s the exact opposite of the mortifying ordeal of being known. the gratifying relief of being forgotten

I don’t want to end Amazon, because it provides an incredibly useful service to the disabled community, the elderly, and those who simply don’t have time to go shopping due to working three jobs and the like. There currently isn’t a major alternative on the market that is the same level of cheap and accessible.

What I do want to do is enforce some goddamn antitrust laws on major web-based companies like Amazon and Google and Facebook, and roll back their attempts at monopolizing entire industries, and make them pay their lowest-rung workers a fair wage and stop running their warehouses like a scene from a dystopian nightmare.

The official record has now annoyingly been reopened so that Leslie Knope can make a statement. Let the record state that I, Leslie Knope, love Ben Wyatt. I love him with all of my heart.

That’s because it’s not skilled labor, anyone can do those things. In order to make good money, you have to be able to do something that not everyone can do.

[ralfmaximus]

ARTISTS aren’t skilled labor? Really.

Make me some art RIGHT NOW. Paint me a portrait in oil-based acrylic. 

What? You don’t know that acrylics are water based, not oil based? Gee, that’s something only a skilled painter might know.    

Or instead compose me a song. Design packaging for this new product we’re launching in 10 days. Make me a webpage with eye-popping graphics you didn’t steal from another site.

Artists do all that. In fact, every manufactured thing you touch passed through the hands of a skilled artist at some point.

FAST FOOD! If fast food is ‘unskilled’ then why does Wendys, McDonalds (et al) expend time on training employees? Surely if any asshole off the street could do the work they can just slip right in there and start slinging happy meals on day one, right? 

Do you know the correct EH/OSHA-approved way to wash your hands? Do it wrong and you are literally violating the law. 

Quick: what do the symptoms of Hepatitis-A look like?  

Or let’s talk janitorial services. Do YOU think you can clean an entire floor of an office building in the allotted time? Where does the trash go? The recycling? How do you get ahold of the waste removal company when the dumpsters are inexplicably full at 4am? Whom do you call? What’s the account number? Is this even your job to worry about? If the dumpsters are full where do you put a night’s worth of collected trash?

What do you do with hazardous waste you might encounter, if you’re cleaning (say) an industrial workspace? Dispose of it incorrectly and that’s a crime.

What’s the procedure for when you encounter a trespasser in a secure building where supposedly nobody but you is working? Can you identify a fake or expired employee badge? Are you supposed to? Your training probably covered that. 

How much would we have to pay you, dear @ithinkthatthismustbetheplace, to deal with a seriously clogged toilet? Shit-smeared walls, standing waste water, the entire place trashed as if it was 3am after a frat party? You have less than an hour to return that restroom to pristine condition. And no, building services is not going to help you.  

You don’t think that requires skill? 

Or adequate compensation?

[reelaroundthedavekan]

All labor is skilled labor

[tinabelcherseverythingisokface]

^^^

The idea of “skilled” or “unskilled” labor is inherently classist, and misses the fucking point anyway. All labor has dignity, whether you THINK it’s “skilled” or not, and all people deserve to live comfortably, whether they’re able to work or not.

When you peel back the layers of this bullshit argument it becomes obvious that it’s just another way to keep us huddled masses infighting instead of building guillotines.

[biokitty]

I just want to say that the custodial staff we have at the hospital are even more important than the nurses, they literally keep the hospital running. I have no idea how to properly clean a room that had a c. diff patient in it, if you do it wrong the hospital could have an outbreak of a highly contagious disease that can kill you. I have no idea how to disinfect a covid room. I don’t know how to launder scrubs so they are suitable to enter into a sterile OR or how to dispose of the wasted medications. I don’t know how to safely clean up a room where a patient coded on the floor in their own feces with blood all over the walls and ground. 

Without the custodians working 24/7, the hospital would come to a standstill in an hour because without them you can’t put patients into rooms that haven’t been cleaned, you can’t move transport beds or wheelchairs through hallways piling up with biohazardous waste and trash bags, people can’t use the bathroom safely. And in the time of a pandemic? They are even more vital.

The custodians that work at hospitals are highly trained and skilled and they deserve dignity for the work that they do. Anyone who claims someone is unskilled is, exactly like the person above me said, just using that as an excuse to deny someone their humanity.
