Sometimes self care is studying for that test. Sometimes it’s cleaning your room. Sometimes it’s having that conversation you’re afraid of having, confront that person you’re afraid to confront. Sometimes it’s not just wrapping yourself up in a blanket and relaxing. Sometimes instead, it’s taking action against the problem.

me: i don’t mind being alone also me: *feels abandoned for no reason at all, needs constant reassurance that my presence is wanted, cannot see how anyone would want to be friends with me, is not able to focus on anything because of the intense feeling of imaginary rejection*

A level note-taking in the 21st century: a compromise

In these modern/tech-y times, most schools are using online platforms to share resources with students. And especially in the sixth form (grade 11 & 12) at least in my school, students are expected to use laptops in class to make notes — barely anyone takes notes by hand in my classes. But, as Straight-Outta-GCSE students (who are mostly used to making physical, hand-written notes in class, then editing and copying them out into revision notes later), this sudden change in learning style can be distressing. Especially on top of the fast-paced + lots-of-content style of the A level courses. You can find yourself in a position of doubting whether what you’re doing to record notes in class is efficient at all.

So what we need is a note-taking system that is fast to write, all in one place and physically tangible so that you can easily flip through during your 2 years.

This is the way that works best for me:

1)    Take basic notes on laptop in class (OneNote/Evernote/etc.)

2)    Colour code/consolidate/add textbook info during free periods/after school (this is also a good way of reviewing your notes to make sure you understand them)

3)    Print them out regularly (I do mine on a weekly basis) either at home or using the school printers and stick them in order in a folder.

This not only keeps the notes legible (no offense to your handwriting), but also lets you use them as revision notes because they are already edited. So you won’t need to spend those two weeks before an exam re-writing notes, when you’re having The Fear — instead you can use that time to do practice questions because that’s really what allows you to master a subject.

Climate change is not a creeping warming of the earth, it is not the slow advance of seas, it is not gentle or easy, and it isn’t going to turn any place pleasantly tropical.

It will be cataclysm after catastrophe, at an ever-increasing tempo, for as long as we live, no matter what we do.

But what we do now will determine whether things will ever settle down again into a more peaceable clime.

Literally all of this has been predicted by science. The tornadoes and hurricanes. The fires. The blizzards. The social unrest. ALL OF IT. 

If anything, science was more conservative and optimistic than what we’ve seen so far. I’ve been reading about these things since I was a kid, and we’ve been pulling on the reins of a runaway horse while someone sitting next to us cracks the whip … for decades.

[wetwareproblem]

Because we panicked on seeing this, a clarification: Nova Scotia is not, as far as we can tell, on fire. (We did not check the rest of the list for accuracy.) Arizona, which is not on this list, very much is.

@wetwareproblem

Thank you for that clarification of my province– I had a moment of panic there LOL.

y'all hurricane irma IS the most powerful storm scientists have seen in over a decade and it’s already tearing through the carribean islands. they don’t have as much money and government help as the U.S does so Americans have to donate like hell to these islands. the islands that are currently being hit haven’t even responded to media outlets/ radios because that’s how fucking powerful it is. we already know the government is gonna do more to help the U.S but not so much with these islands. Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas and other carribeans islands are going to get hit the worse. we need to stand by them, pray for them, and donate as soon as we get information about donation organizations that will help the carribean islands. they need this.

[weavemama]

after 12 hours of no response, the Prime Minister of Barbuda has announced almost 100% of the island is destroyed. A lot of the other islands have yet to make a statement but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same way for them too. 3 people are already dead and the death toll is expected to rise. don’t just care about these Caribbean islands when they’re good vacation spots and travel aesthetics. people LIVE on these islands, people go to school on these islands, people had futures on these islands and we should care about the destruction that is going on there like we would if it happened in the U.S 

[androidgynous]

Okay so one place I’d recommend donating is Direct Relief, an organization that helps underserved communities and emergencies gain access to health care. They’ve already deployed preparedness medicine packs to several Caribbean islands and are working with local hospitals to capitalize on resources and people already on the ground. (Source: https://www.directrelief.org/2017/09/as-hurricane-irma-approaches-life-saving-medicine-staged-across-florida-caribbean/ )

I’ve read about Direct Relief for a while and their work and core values are dedicated to transparency, non-discrimination, and fast response. If I have the wrong understanding of their organization please lmk but afaik their work is honest and helpful.

You can donate here: https://secure.directrelief.org/site/Donation2?df_id=2105&2105.donation=form1

You can select which effort your donation goes to using the drop down menu, which I recommend as this post states, relief efforts to those affected by Irma are not going to get the same kind of resources as the areas of the US affected by Harvey
