Probably you’ve heard Karlie’s speech about her coding scholarship. “I think it’s crucial that young women learn to code as early as possible, to ensure that we have a voice and a stake in what the world looks like”, she said at the famous promotional video.
Coding is an amazing skill for making some of your thoughts real. It’s the ultimate way for solving problems, implement algorithms and so on. As you may know, coding works as another way of communication, and so you need a language. But which one? Choosing the adequate one is sometimes difficult, always relevant. Wikipedia has a page itself describing the differences between C, C++, Python, Java, Pearl… Forums are a good source of information too.
For making easier the introduction to languages (maybe you don’t like how C++ works, Java syntaxis), I thought that a list of webs where you can code online could be useful.
Specifically for Web Development
My fave. I started when I was fifteen or sixteen learning on my own, and I was absolutely in love with Brackets. But here I found other software online:
Codepen: Minimal design, fast, with liveview that is automatically updated when you click them.
JsBin: This one allows you to code in the same page where it’s embedded into. Super recommended.
CSSDeck: Offers HTML, CSS, and JavaScript preprocessors, and is also connected with GitHub. In addition, you can record your process so it can be reviewed by others later.
Liveweave Updates the layout without reloading the page, and you can actually change the size of each individual cell, as well as downloading your code. It’s very similar to the others, and includes an interesting feature for autoformating and cleaning up the code. Many forums recommend it.
Miscellany
Ideone: Compiler and IDE that supports 40+ languages: Ada, assembler, C++, COBOL, Java, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, and many more. Code can be download in the proper format to your computer system, and shared as well at a wide range of social networks. Super recommended.
CodeAnywhere: Super cool. Multiplatform (web, Android, iOS), 75 languages, customized playground, code beautify… It has different prices deppending on your needs. I recommend the $7 per user/mo., but they have a free version too.
Viper-7: PHP only.
Reply.it: Lots of languages, like JavaScript, Python, Ruby… visually, simple and with examples. It has a special service called “Teachers”, for making easier the taching of code.
Runcode: Compiling fragments of text in the language of your choice.
Pythonanywhere: A fully developed environment exclusively for Python.
We would be very happy to receive your opinions, and complete the list with many more sources. There are plenty of courses online about learning to code, so give a try!
Testing a new sketchbook that wasn’t very good haha;;;. I wish the paper was better on moleskine art-plus sketchbooks. there’s a weird wax on the edges….
PS. I used a toothbrush to flick on the white paint for the stars.
Tools: Windsor & Newton gouache, Talens Japan watercolour. i’m not gonna put the sketchbook cause i definitely do NOT recommend it lol.

Is there, like, a collection of these somewhere that I can watch when I’m having a panic attack??
I started putting a few on youtube recently with calming music. I’ll put them here just in case :). hope it helps.
I’ll try to record more in the future :)

Candle Spell
Imbolc is just around the corner and to celebrate I came up with this DIY recycling candle spell that’s great for any occasion. I always have pieces of wax and bits of candles too small to use safely laying in around, and I thought, what a waste! Since Imbolc has traditions of bonfire and candles, I felt that making custom spell candles for the renewal of spring would be perfect. These can be modified for any occasion or spell you have; it doesn’t have to be just for Imbolc ;)
You’ll need:
Wax or bits of candles
Wicks
Heat safe containers (I recycled shallow metal tins)
Oven (or a way to melt the wax, double boilers also work, etc.)
A oven safe tray shallow enough to put a bit of water in
Water
Paper
Pen
Optional:
Dried plants
Essential oils
Decorative tape and strings
The white candle is a cleansing-negativity-and-illness-banishing spell. It uses white wax, bay leaves (3 to represent the triple goddess), lavender, and cleansing essential oils (lavender, clary sage and cedar wood). The red one is a happiness-joy-and-courage spell, using red wax (there was white wax in there too but the red dye is STRONG so keep that in mind while making yours) and orange, grapefruit and ylang-ylang oils for exhilaration and warmth.
Instructions are under cut! Please be safe making these has it require using heat. I’m not responsible if your burn your fingers darlings ;).

I love this!

It’s Science! The Perfect Road Trip
brittneybrightside
y’all think this is cute and fun looking but as a bamf that drove 3,000+ miles across the country I can tell you that its not. When you get on I90 and your GPS tells you to go straight for the next 450miles and you realize you could watch the entire Braveheart movie twice before you see anything other than cow pastures or corn fields you beg for death. I saw so much weird ass shit from towns with horses that wander like stray dogs and places where people say weird shit like “Sure dont!”. America is fucking bizzaro and a trip like this is only for the most Mad Max-iest of mother fuckers.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

a pretty adventure game where you find the treasure to save your village
help the worms get into their holes and light up mushrooms
Some of my favorites:
Cursor*10 - little game where you have several “lives”. you use your cursor to navigate the floors, and when the time runs out, you go back to the beginning. however, the previous cursors will go through the same path they made before, thus allowing you to get further each time.
Daymare Town - creepy point and click game. very inky, interesting drawings. you have to find your way through (or perhaps out of) Daymare Town, which is inhabited by obscure prickly people.
Grid Game - there are a bunch of little circles. click one, and watch it rotate and set off a chain reaction. mindless distraction game.
Samsara Room - a strange escape game where you’re stuck in one room but pass through different dimensions to get out
i saw her standing there - zombie love story. super cute. there’s a sequel too.
Feed the Head - more like interactive art than anything. there are several different things to do in this game.
Factory Balls - a bit of a puzzle game. you have to paint a bunch of balls to match the model shown, using various options and paints.
Grow Nano Vol. 3 - one of my favorites of the Grow series. you have to click the options in the right order in order to make the sick person feel better. this one just warms my heart.
make sure to click the tags to find more games by the creators and companies and the rest of the games in the series!!!
I find Tonypa’s games to be simple, unique, and enjoyable. A lot of them involve patterns, colors, and matching, so they’re very calming as well.
some from me!!
deep thinking games with exploration themes…
6 differences - a pretty cool find the difference game that’s very atmospheric and somewhat soothing in the first levels, mostly takes place at night around a city, features sound effects and music and even moving cars down the highways. content warning for some surrealism and acid-trippy effects in the later levels (a person with a deer head, some kind of alarming music, the level’s walls moving as you look for the differences, etc - sometimes the level changes after you find all but one clue, and in one instance a train goes by rather suddenly and loudly, but it didn’t make me jump and i am sensitive to jump scares)
i can hold my breath forever - a game about exploring underwater caves in search of a friend. some references to drowning!
i wish i were the moon - short and sweet game about two people and a moon! clone things and move them around to get different endings :3
small words - a soothing platformed-style exploration game that lets you uncover different maps/pictures as you walk around
don’t look back - a creepy game based on the myth of orpheus and eurydice, this is a platformer-style game that has you going to the underworld to get your lover back. very atmospheric, but a slightly creepy atmosphere that (of course) references death, so take care
alight in dreams - during a dream you get wings, and explore the dream to find out about the history of a person who has never dreamed before. mentions death and suicide.
a house in california - explore an old house and learn its history, very atmospheric. can be a bit confusing for some, you may need a walkthrough.
silent conversation - a soothing game that makes levels out of passages of classic books; you win by toughing every word. not my preferred reading material, but the way the levels are built kind of force you to drink it all in stead of speeding through it.
games that are a bit creepy…
prior - you, a little box creature, wake without your memories in an unknown place. you must explore to find your family and figure out what happened before you woke. a dark game with multiple possibilities - can be a little creepy.
immorTall - an alien makes friends with a human family after crashlanding to earth. defend them as long as possible!
loved - a dark sort of game where you go through the levels deciding if you will choose to obey the voice giving you orders or defy it. in some casing obeying makes things easier, but in other cases the voice asks you to make things hard on yourself - throwing yourself onto spikes so you have to start over, etc. sometimes it is almost impossible to do what the voice asks. (serious warning for emotional manipulation, just to be safe - the question at the start will purposefully misgender you depending on your answer, and continue to do so throughout the game, but, depending on your actions, will then correct the mistake at the end.)
one chance - a kind of dark game; in the impending apocalypse you have one chance to decide what to do with the rest of your life. there are many endings, but you really do only have one chance…refreshing the page will not let you play again! content warning for death,suicide, impending doom, hopelessness, etc
every day the same dream - another fatalistic game with multiple endings, but this one allows you to find them all. same warnings as the one above.
elude - a metaphorical representation of depression. dark melancholy levels, nice atmosphere, but can be a little moody.
symon - you play as an elderly man stuck in a hospital bed. you sleep to dream and relive your past. this game is pretty much endless and features endless combinations of the same tasks, to reflect what that sort of life might be like. cw for death and end-life blues.
now for some lighter ones…
pizza king 2 - i found this sim where you run your own pizza shop weirdly addictive. food cw, of course, and it’s the only sim on here because they usually aren’t my thing, but, well.
boomshine & obechi - two colorful games where a well-placed click will start a chain reaction and see how many points you can collect!
filler - a similar concept to the ones above
music bounce - release bouncing balls to hit platforms to get the perfect rhythm!
dropsum & dropsum colors - math games where you combine numbers to eliminate them. you can choose where to drop the numbers, turn the board, and use powerups! (dropsum colors isn’tloading for me rn, but it might for you)
first person tetris - you spin with the tetris blocks! fun for pros, but it can make you dizzy.
flash tron - a recreation of the original tron game as seen in the movies. here you can play with others online!
dolphin olympics - super fun game where you swim and do tricks as a dolphin to score as many points as you can in two minutes. there’s also a freeplay mode. if you jump high enough, you may even see the moon ouo
mirror’s edge 2d - i adore the 3d version of this game for ps3, but if you don’t have access, you can play the mini/2d version. no real story, but it’s a very challenging game with rad animation!
bubble tanks tower defense - pretty fun tower defense game that doesn’t get old too quickly.
bloons - i started playing the tower defense game, but they’re all pretty fun and complex. scroll down a bit and click any of the ones under “bloons games”
elephant games - a sort-of series with gems like “achievement unlocked” & sequels (where there is no objective except to complete all the achievements) and “this is the only level” (where you go through the same level many different ways). you grow to be quite fond of the little guy. :’D
some of these i haven’t played in awhile! i pulled from my bookmarks, because i used to spend all day curating links to these things. if i’ve missed a content warning PLEASE feel free to contact me about it or add it yourself!
Dont forget Cool Math
Godville is an amusing game. Try it, it’s definitely a rare type of game
