US threatens to veto UN resolution on rape as weapon of war, officials say

Exclusive: US warns it will reject measure over language on sexual health in latest example of hardline abortion stance

You can’t make this shit up.

[anisetheapothecary]

For what ever loving reason could they possibly fucking have?

[anisetheapothecary]

Omg they are even worse than I can possibly imagine. America is vetoing it because

The language refers to family planning clinics for survivors of sexual violence, which they see as implicitly supporting abortion rights

The language uses the word “gender” which they claim is veiled support for transgender rights

They will not sign if the resolution has this clause: “urges United Nations entities and donors to provide non-discriminatory and comprehensive health services, including sexual and reproductive health, psychosocial, legal and livelihood support and other multi-sectoral services for survivors of sexual violence, taking into account the specific needs of persons with disabilities.”

Fuck America

Americans should absolutely feel ashamed by this

I hope America sinks into the sea.

Planner Organization for School

During summer my planning system is more like “system? what system?” but now that school is almost here, it’s time to start getting back into a schedule. Last semester I hit upon a great planning method for me – and here it is!

This is totally a fake page btw, which is why it’s so blank.

I prefer a minimalist planning system. It helps my eyes focus, as a colorful spread might prevent. Also, although I like to decorate my planner, I don’t have time to do it every week, which is why I usually choose a planner that’s pretty enough on its own without my help. (Mine is a Happy Planner.)

The top box is usually my schedule. I place my classes and their times here and (especially during the first of the semester when I am still finding my way around), I put the classroom numbers. All of my classes have their own “assigned” color. I have come to associate these colors with these classes, so it’s easy to tell where I need to be next. At the bottom of this box I put events: these are usually things that are pretty set in stone. If there’s a birthday, an appointment, an outing planned with friends – I usually write that in the empty space between.

The middle box is my homework related to do list. If I have an exam, I place it at the top in capital letters to help it stand out. Due homework and subjects I want to study are usually lumped together, but if you want to distinguish one from the other, I recommend using one color for due assignments and another color for topics you plan to review. This is to streamline your planning as much as possible. I find I get distracted when I color code everything.

The bottom box is for personal tasks. A lot of times these tend to be health-related, but it’s in this box that I jot down all of the to do’s not related to school – things like “bank deposit,” “clean bathroom,” and “post #Studying Saturday.”

On the weekends, all rules are off, and it’s a free-for-all to do list. Because I don’t have classes on the weekend, it becomes one long list of things I want to accomplish during that free time. 

This method – of having sections for your schedule, school-related tasks, and personal tasks – works well for me, but there are dozens of other ways to plan your school week.

this is such a great idea!! ♡

✨ reblog if you're a studyblr

Trying to follow tons of people before school starts!

[studyboba]

So, it’s that time of the year again, back to school. And right now, some of you are probably panicking a little because, let’s face it, school starts soon and you have not glanced at your to-do list since June. But don’t be afraid, lots of us are in the same boat. I myself ambitiously drafted out a long list of things to do this summer, including studying C++, studying Chinese, preparing for new course work, studying quiz bowl, and exercising. However, I was abroad for five weeks, spent lots of weekends at the beach, slept in, and generally slacked off. Now, it’s not too late to pick up the pace and get into the study grind to get a good start this school year. Below are some useful tips!

Academic Tips:

Print off your new school schedule immediately and build your personal schedule around that. (Figure out which time blocks are for studying, exercise, sleep, mealtime, extracurriculars, and chill time.)

Buy a planner and start using it. It doesn’t have to be personalized or fancy, just make sure it suits your taste and is usable. Even though you may not have classwork right now, start using it to complete tasks and get in the habit of writing in it.

Search up your teachers/professors on RateMyProfessor to (kinda) know what you’re in for. Obviously, those reviews are a little skewed so read them with a grain of salt, but know which professors are lecture heavy and which classes rely on the textbook. This really helped me last year.

Get in the habit of reading and writing a bit everyday. That way, your first assignment won’t be nearly as painful. Just write a little in a journal or read some NYT articles to critically engage your brain. 

Look over the first chapter of your textbooks. The first chapter and introduction in books really explain what the course is about, so if you’re afraid of feeling stranded in class, read them.

If you have questions or concerns about your courses, email your professors or teachers. They want to help their students.

Map out where you have to go for each class. Whether it’s changing floor in the same building or booking it across campus, make sure you know where you’re going the first week of class. Highlight your routes on a map of the school if you need.

Lifestyle Tips:

It’s nice to sleep in over summer break, but start waking yourself up earlier. Figure out what time you need to wake up, factor in the 7-8 hours of sleep you need, and determine the ideal bedtime. Set an alarm and start slowly winding back your wake up time. For example, if I need to get up at 7:00 AM for school, I’ll sleep until 8:30 for one week. Then I’ll wake up at 8:00 the next week, and 7:30 the week after that so my body can slowly adjust to the earlier mornings.

On a similar note, start going to bed at the appropriate time. It may be frustrating to do so when it’s still bright out at night, but this really helps your body adjust. The lights from devices keep you up, so get accustomed to ditching the electronics before you get in bed.

Make sure your outfits are school ready. I know my math lecture is in a really chilly old building, so I’m pulling out a few sweaters to bring with me to class. If your school has a dress code (which can be annoying) or uniform, make sure your outfits comply.

Get your bag and supplies ready. This is fun for me, because I usually end up shopping and getting some new cute accessories and stationery.

Start a new healthy habit with the school year. This is a good time to try to stick in something new. Get a reusable water bottle and try to drink 8 cups a day, or add meditation to your night routine. You won’t regret it!

Now, most of these tips are applicable to both high school and college, but if you want high school or college specific tips, let me know in my messages or ask box and I’ll make another post. Have an amazing school year!
