Okay we are trying this again this time with clearer instructions and options.

Please read all instructions before voting.

If you are using the desktop site, mobile site in the browser, or an updated version of the app, please vote with the number of REBLOGS ONLY (not total notes) you see at the bottom of the post.

If you are using an un-updated version of the app, please vote "un-updated app." If you don't know what version of Tumblr you're using, please vote "I'm not sure what version of tumblr I'm using."

If you vote, please reblog. The purpose of this is to examine the new reblog behavior on Tumblr.

Please DO NOT add text to the body of your reblog.

The post you're seeing should have the word "Apple," "Banana," or "Coconut" as the first tag under the post. This is to track how the reblog behavior works with tags as opposed to reblogs with text. If you reblog, please tag and make "Apple" "Banana" or "Coconut" your first tag based on the first tag of the post you are reblogging from.

Again, the instructions are:

Vote with the number of reblogs ONLY (not total notes) you see on the updated app or desktop site. If your app hasn't updated or you're not sure what version of Tumblr you're using, make that your vote

Reblog this post without adding text to the body of your reblog

Tag your reblog "Apple" "Banana" or "Coconut" depending on which of the tags the post you are reblogging from is tagged with. Please make this your first tag.

How many reblogs do you see at the bottom of this post?

1-5

6-10

11-20

21-35

36-50

51-100

Please reblog and tag with the same first tag as the post you're reblogging. This should be "apple" "banana" or "coconut."

You can add other tags, but please don't add text to the body of your reblog. If you want, you can tag with the reblog count that you saw when you voted.

You can reply, but please do not reblog with text in the body of the reblog.

Thank you for participating in this experiment!

I need you folks who are going back to school to understand this, sleep deprivation is not something to be proud of. You are being fed capitalist propaganda to make you believe that working yourself to the bone is a good and smart business model from a young age. If all you do is “get 3 hours of sleep” because you’re studying, you’re just gonna burn out quicker, forget the information you’re trying to cram, and cause your brain to cannibalize itself.

Do not compete by making unhealthy habits. This will only fuck you up in the long run.

i’ve been thinking about innocuous photos like the one on the left. because it is my job to neglect the sprouts of imperialism and racism that accompanied my upbringing, i've been attempting to find solidarity even in the innocuous. and how easily it comes: marah and i, both schoolgirls who like cute things, both compelled by the desire to photograph our supplies after arranging them to be just-so. the photo on the right is an old one of mine.

if you were to ask yourself:

“how much do i have in common with a palestinian?”

i think the answer would be “everything.” maybe you’re united by the love you have for your pets, being fans of the same goth rock band, or the fact that, were something of severity to happen to your family, you’d also be online, asking for help in a way your elders might find it hard to wrap their heads around, and making sure people knew they could trust your campaign.

and if this were a message you were sending, i hope that your hope would remain in tact, because people like us, on the other end, would be doing everything they could to help you.

can you help marah today? we have been speaking personally and she is in great need of help.

[rethrone-deactivated20250221]

This has been vetted. I have spoken with Marah and she's such a kind soul. No one should have to endure this, and if we can offset even a bit of this tragedy and pain with our fortune, we will have made better use of our time and privilege than simply feeling angry and helpless.

Please, the least we can do is give or share if we are unable to. The smallest bit counts.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

so for those of you who don't know, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD-I. So far, I think my favourite thing that I've learned is the idea of "embrace the pivot".

Have you ever found a productivity system that works for you (whether it be your Google calendar, bullet journaling, agenda-ing, etc), and you're so pumped because it's like finally! Now I can actually get some stuff done! But then time passes, days or weeks or years, and the novelty of it runs out, and then it kind of just... Stops working. It can be so frustrating, because this thing that used to work no longer works for seemingly no reason.

But, that isn't a failing of the thing, that thing worked for a certain amount of time, and that's good! I used a massive agenda in my first year of uni, and it kept me on track for all my assignments. My second year agenda? Barely touched it. Instead, I started to use a bullet journal, and that was the thing that helped me through most of the year. But as time went on, my spreads got less creative, and in the final term, I didn't even want to touch it because it was too much work. So I switched to Notion.

The agenda didn't fail me, and neither did the bullet journal, it just worked for a certain amount of time. And when that time inevitably runs out, you can just say, "thank you for serving me for so long, I'm going to pivot to the next thing." And then you do it without feeling like you should try harder or like that thing failed you.

This doesn't just have to apply to productivity either. Systems, tools, habits, hobbies, coping mechanisms.. They all serve their purpose. It's okay to let them go when the time comes.

new semester's begun! i'm taking less classes this time, but the one's i have are really interesting, and i'm hyped! i'm excited

i feel both "i can't possibly understand any of these concepts" (quantum mechanics) and "of course i understand these concepts" (solid state physics). it just be like that i guess!

Taking a walk because it feels good going to bed on time because it feels good waking up earlier because it feels good eating enough fruit because it feels good doing a workout because it feels good cooking myself a nice meal because it feels good staying in contact with friends because it feels good… sometimes joy is work but it’s always worth it

This last week of classes has been absolutely brutal. I've got a biochem lab report due tomorrow night and I only just started it today. Yikes! Eating lots of mini marshmallows to cope

I made this self portrait in my figure drawing class

I loved my body in the photo and I thought the drawing came out beautifully, but it wasn't well liked in critique and the drawing got a poor grade. it felt odd, having my fat, trans body on display, and I took too personally the critiques because it was such an intimate piece for me.

but it captured trans beauty for me. I felt love for myself through this piece, and still do.

i should get around to framing it

[ID: 2 photos featuring baby’s breath flowers. One is a hand holding out a glass jar full of flowers, and the second is a close up of someone with blue hair in braids; little sprigs of baby’s breath are tucked into the braid. End ID]

$4 flowers were a good idea actually 💙🥰
