CAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOUCH I GET THIS FEELING
EVERY TIME WE KISS I SWEAR I COULD FLY
CANāT U FEEL MY HEART BEAT FAST, I WANT THIS TO LAST
NEED YOU BY MY SIDE
This is the closest gif that can really capture the utter chaotic energy that is released when people hear this song
i noticed this thing with a lot of men. they tend to be really generous and kind only to women theyāre attracted to. duh, obvious statement to most of you but itās jarring when you see it first hand and itās so prevalent and insidious to the point that it feels uncomfortable accepting help from a strange without thinking of the possibility of him having ulterior motives. and itās disheartening knowing that if youāre in a position needing a manās help, a lot of times it will depend entirely on whether or not heās attracted to you. and the problem is that they think this goes both ways. i can show a simple gesture of kindness and a man will take it as me coming on to him. me letting you go in front of me on the checkout line because you have one item, me offering change because you donāt have any, or anything other well-intentioned act of kindness results in a man trying to eventually make a move thinking that itās mutual. how sad it must be to think that thereās no kindness for the sake of kindness. that all good done in this world is based on sexual impulses instead of the desire to help another human being just how you like to be helped.Ā

being an adult is justā¦ calling people thatās literally itā¦ just calling people you donāt want to call about problems you donāt want to have to be solving.. itās disgusting
Net neutrality ends on the 27th but theyāll try and fool you tomorrow by acting like the repeal of it is okay. Do not be fooled, that is state propaganda to keep you complacent and to stop riots and rebellion from happening! Do not give up! Keep calling who you need to call and keep signing petitions and texting! I know itās a lot of emotional labor but we cannot give in! š„

A lot of you have been asking how I go about making my graphics, i.e. how I do graphic design, so I thought Iād make a guide - or perhaps a series of guides if you would like - on how to design graphics! First off, Iād like to introduce you to the fundamental elements of graphic design, and hopefully this will help you gain a new perspective. and improve your own design skills.
Lines are structures that connect two points. They make up everything that we see, even the letters and characters we read every day. But more often than not, we take them for granted. In reality, lines are one of the most rudimentary components of graphic design, and they serve to channel ideas and emotion.
Lines can:
Organize pieces of information or elements on a page
Serve as guidelines to lead the viewerās eye
Provide movement such as using wavy lines to represent moving water
Emphasize certain parts of the page
Set a mood, such as how straight lines evoke order and neatness while zig-zags convey excitement and tension
A shape is any two-dimensional area with a recognizable boundary. They can add interest to designs (such as in backgrounds), organize visual content, and be used to make illustrations.
Shapes exist in three categories:
Geometric shapes are regular shapes like circles and squares
Organic shapes are more freeform, such as a blob or a leaf
Abstract shapes have a recognizable form but are not exactly natural shapes, such as alphabet glyphs, spirals, and stick figures
When brought together, these shapes can form helpful illustrations that will help convey meaning to your work or add some decoration to it.
The effects achieved by the shapes are determined by its form, color, size, and other characteristics. For example, triangles often show excitement and risk, while circles are seen as eternal and often feminine.
In the example illustration below, which is one of my January wallpapers, I use triangles to convey a feeling of vivacity and excitement.
Different shapes may also be used to structure content or create a layout, making it easier for the userās eyes to find information. This is often the case in blogs and websites.
Color can be used to make an image stand out, convey information, enhance meaning, or group things together, but how do you know what colors āfitā together? When youāre starting out, you might find it easier to look for color schemes from pinterest or wherever you can find inspiration. It also helps to look for images or photographs that evoke the same vibe youāre going for, and then using a similar color scheme.
But what if you want to make a palette yourself? Learn color theory!
Before I elaborate, hereās some terminology for you:
Hue is the color itself
Value is how dark or light the color is
Saturation is the intensity of the color
Now, how do you go about making a color scheme? Here are some types of color schemes you should know about:
Monochromatic color schemes only use one hue but vary in value and saturation.
Analogous color schemes use colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel, such as red, orange, and yellow, or blues and greens.
Complementary color schemes use colors opposite each other on the color wheel. To add complexity, play with the value and saturation of these colors.
Split complementary color schemes use colors on either side of the complement.
Triadic color schemes use three colors that form an equilateral triangle on the color wheel. These are often very stark and in-your-face, so you might want to use this type of color scheme in moderation.
Tetradic color schemes use four colors that form a rectangle on the color wheel. These are more effective if one color serves as the main color and the other three colors are just accents.
When choosing a color scheme, the main thing you should keep in mind is balance. Using fewer colors means itāll be easier to balance and thus it is less likely that the piece will appear messy and discordant.
Color has the power of evoking emotions and moods, and each hue and shade has certain connotations associated with it.
In the illustration below - which is part of my April wallpaper set - I use the color green to convey the safety and familiarity of the comfort zone. The color red, on the other hand, shows risk and danger, but it also represents the courage required to get out of the comfort zone.
So the next time youāre thinking of what colors to use in your project, think of what kind of message you want the audience to receive.
Like the other elements weāve discussed so far, type conveys meaning beyond what is written. Type can communicate a mood, style, vibe, or feeling. A curly or script font might appear fancy and extravagant, while a handwritten font may seem raw and playful.
Different types of fonts are also suitable for different contexts. For example, sans-serif fonts are more readable on screen while serif fonts are more readable in print. Display fonts, on the other hand, tend to be fancy and decorative, and thus should only be used for small amounts of text, like titles.
Audience and purpose also serve a role in deciding what fonts to use. Large, bubbly text is suitable for a childrenās birthday party invitation but probably not for a business card.
In graphic design, different fonts are often used in tandem with each other. The main principle or rule behind this is that you should choose fonts that complement each other. Large, bold fonts should be paired with small, subtle fonts. Oftentimes, youāll have to rely on your instincts, and thatās okay.
Remember, though, that you wouldnāt want to overwhelm your readers by using too many fonts. Stick to one or two per project. To add variation, change the weight or style of the existing fonts.
Finally, your text would be more effective if you establish some sort of visual hierarchy. This essentially means sorting out your text in order of importance, using different typefaces and fonts. This includes adding a certain weight (or boldness) or increasing the size of texts that are more significant.
In the title graphic below, the word āpodcastsā is handwritten and larger than the rest of the title because thatās what I want to draw attention to, so that readers know what the post is about. My name, on the other hand, is smaller than the other texts.
Texture adds tactility and depth and can also be used to evoke a certain feel. In this graphic from my March desktop wallpaper, I used a tape texture and a paint texture to achieve a scrapbook-y vibe.
Some other common textures used in designs are foil, watercolor, and paper textures. Although there are many textures to experiment with and choose from, you should also be careful not to overwhelm your viewers with too many textures in one piece.
Lines, shapes, color, text, and texture are the five basic elements of graphic design, and by understanding how these elements work together, youāll be able to make more effective designs.
Now, the question is, do I think deeply about all of this when I make my designs? To be honest, not really. A lot of my designs are instinctual, but knowing the theory behind what Iām doing has helped me improve those instincts, and you can do the same!
Thatās all for now. Hope this helps, and let me know if you would like me to continue the series or if this brief blog post is enough. Happy designing :)
Disclaimer: Iām not a graphic designer, just a stressed-out senior who sometimes likes to design and stuff.

Iām comfortable with the unknownāthatās the point of science. There are places out there, billions of places out there, that we know nothing about. And the fact that we know nothing about them excites me, and I want to go out and find out about them. And thatās what science is. So I think if youāre not comfortable with the unknown, then itās difficult to be a scientistā¦ I donāt need an answer. I donāt need answers to everything. I want to have answers to find.

Good day to study!
Before I begin: sorry for my long break. Iām back and changed my profile picture (in case you have no idea who on earth you are following here) and my templateā¦ and also my header for my posts soā¦ you knowā¦ everything. But now letās start. :)
This time I want to make it short, so here are 26 study tips for learning a foreign language.
Study every day. Even if you just study 5 minutes, thatās important for your progress. 17 minutes every day is FAR BETTER than two hours on one day of the week.
Learn the most important 100-300 words.
Use good apps/websites for your target language. Take the time to find out which apps and websites work best for you.
Watch movies, series and videos in your target language. If needed turn on subtitles.
Write a little text every day. For example a diary entry.
IMPORTANT: Practice speaking right from the BEGINNING!
Try to live your language as much as you can. You should do everything you can in your target language. Think about what you do in your native language and then try to do it in the language you want to learn.
Change the language on your social media websites.
Change the language on your smartphone.
Read books for children if normal books are too difficult for you.
Study vocabs you just canāt keep in mind with apps extra for this problem.
Find a chat group in your target language. More people, more fun.
Try to think in your target language, even if youāre quite new to it. For example learn the numbers and use your target language for counting.
Make a plan for learning. (Yeah that came a little bit late lol)
Find out which learning type you are. Seriously donāt skip this. You really, really, really should know that! It will make things so much easier!
Use new words as soon as you can. For example when chatting with your language exchange partner: replace every word you can with your new vocab.
Write a list with big and (IMPORTANT) small goals (!!!)
Listen to music while reading the lyrics, even if you donāt understand it.
Read a book and listen to the audio version of it.
Write a diary in your target language.
Talk to yourself. Who could be more interesting? :p
Write a list with rewards for reaching your goals.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS! You will need this when hitting a plateau.
Search for apps/websites that are onlyĀ available in your target language and use them.
Use a calendar with your goals and progress on it.
Use image search for hard vocabs. Try to get a connection to this word. Done. I hope some of these tips help you. :) PS: Sorry for mistakes but my new notebook marks every English word as wrong.
small things that will change your life -
complimenting at least one person a day
looking after yourself by actually scheduling it into your day
making time to talk to friends/fam
looking at the bright side of things
finding productive things to do when youāre free instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media
getting a hobby that engages you and helps you relax
stretching and meditating
taking care of your skin
smiling more
doing more of what you love doing
exercising more
being in nature often
hydrating and moisturizing
taking long walks
going to concerts, parks and museums
reading interesting books
petting smol animals
being yourself for u are amazing and deserve a star (āØ)
