Hi!
You can call me Rae.
This blog is mostly for new things I learned about.
:)
where would you recommend starting to learn about conlangs and writing systems and stuff? i’m really interested but im kinda lost
I've got a playlist for the basics on my YouTube channel here:
This series of videos is aimed specifically at beginners.
After seeing the dad how do I channel, I really wanted this one. I searched for it and, tada! Mom how do I? Seems rather new, but I love it anyway.
This is such a cute and helpful idea, especially since some people either didn’t grow up with someone who could teach them this stuff or they grew up with parents who did everything for them. I knew a lot of guys in college who didn’t know how to do laundry or cook!
Mom How Do I
Dad How Do I
My parents were not very good teachers of life skills so this is G R E A T.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.
So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.
Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.
That's us! Professional internet adults, specializing in financial stuff! We recommend starting with our Grand List of All Articles, or one of our Masterposts:

MASTERPOST: Everything You Need to Know about Retirement and How to Retire
MASTERPOST: Everything You Need to Know about Credit and Credit Cards

MASTERPOST: Everything You Need to Know about Saving Money and Being Frugal
So I can find this later.
guys im gna see what i can do but i might tweak the universal timeline to make the earth more predominantly matriarchal because this is getting a bit ridic now x
Only good thing you'd ever do tbh
SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU
Fine fine
god ur so obsessed with me
Omg ofc notttt
yeah u sound real convincing don’t you
Ughhhh
I hate you sm
i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem
what common file types are
some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)
how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private
how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)
what a cookie actually is
internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl
basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)
common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)
how to not get a virus while pirating something
what a temporary email is and when to use one
red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)
what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous
a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps
a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)
some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself
EVERYONE HAVE THIS
✨Welcome to the Ghoulboss Guide to Studying Without Imploding✨
(or: How I Trick My ADHD Goblin Brain Into Not Failing Everything™)
Hi. Hello. Greetings, traveler. You’ve stumbled upon what looks like a list of “tips,” but let me be perfectly clear:
You do NOT have to read this. I am not your dad. I am not your therapist. I am not a productivity girlie who wakes up at 5AM to drink matcha and plank while manifesting stocks. I am an unmedicated chaos beast with ADHD, hyperactivity, and a long list of academic crimes.
BUT—I also have a deeply blessed, borderline divine study coach who helped me stop spiraling long enough to figure out a system that actually works for my weird lil spooky brain. And now I’m sharing it with you. Because if I can go from crying into my homework to slaying my to-do list with eyeliner sharp enough to breach the veil, so can you.
Since the tips I screamed into the void a few weeks ago actually helped some of you feral creatures, here’s a fresh batch—this time more general, for juggling studies, writing, and staying (somewhat) organized without selling your soul.
Do I follow these tips every day? No.
Sometimes I play The Witcher Wild Hunt for 6 hours straight and dissociate. But when I do follow them? I become unstoppable. I become a caffeinated academic hellspawn with cheekbones. I become... functional. And isn’t that the dream?
So grab a drink. Light a candle. Put on that eyeliner if you dare. Let’s get into the cursed rituals and unhinged hacks that keep me passing exams, updating fanfics, and not crying (too much).
Welcome to the Cult. We have coffee and glitter. 🖤✨📚

this meme made me realise that other people apparently know how to show empathy without personal anecdotes
… how…. please teach me
I’m pretty sure none of us will get answers but please…if someone knows the secrets to showing empathy without personal anecdotes please speak up. We need answers
(Me (adhd + autism) can show empathy, but not sympathy. For me, it’s like I do the exact same thing, but as well as showing empathy through anecdotes I show sympathy through empathy).

I have somethin I guess? I’ve been the Support Friend for most of my life so I managed to get it down to a formula. TW: dog death
1. Ask Questions
This is mainly to keep them talking, that way a) they feel like they have a confidante in you, and b) the pressure is less on you to Say Things. In fact it shouldn’t be about you Saying Things at all, it should be you figuring out where they’re at and trying to understand. E.g. “My dog died, I miss him.” Ask questions, and when they start talking, let them talk. “What was his name?” “How and when did he die?” “Tell me about him.” “What was he like?” “What’s your favourite memory of him?” “When did you first meet him?” “Did you teach him any tricks?” Again the point is to keep them talking, the questions are just to get them on a roll. If you’re worrying about what to say next, listen to what they’re saying and ask details of what they’re currently talking about, or mentally prepare your next question.
2. Listen
Let them talk. The more you listen to them talk, the more they feel like it’s okay to talk to you. If they dwindle off, ask them something else to get them talking again. Upset people usually have a lot to say.
Every now and again you can throw in little sentences like “Wow, what a bitch!” “Aw, so sad.” “What the fuck? Why?” just to prove you’re still listening and following, and haven’t wandered off into space.
3. When they’re done, give it back to them
It’s a technique called mirroring. Sum up whatever you heard in short form - if they’ve talked for half an hour about the little details of their deceased pet, say something like “It sounds like he was a very good boy/sounds like he meant a lot to you/sounds like you will miss him.” It’s been known to make people dissolve into a sobbing mess, because this is the part where you prove you’ve done your homework, you listened, you care, you get it.
4. If you really want to offer a solution, ask first. You can just skip this step altogether tbh.
Only when someone has finished talking about whatever is upsetting them, ask if you can help. “Can I offer some advice?” Now is the time for SHORT anecdotes. Short. It’s not about you sharing your story, it’s about them getting advice. Remember they don’t have to take your advice, again it’s about them and their emotions, and they know themselves best. “When my dog died, I did this. Would that help?” “I read somewhere about doing this. Maybe try that and see how it goes?”
Hope this helps y’all. The TL;DR of all this is basically listen, and prove you’re listening.
Thank you!!!
That explanation really is so good!
Something I need

hello! I was wondering how you make gifs because I can’t seem to find any good tutorials….
Hi! I'm glad you want to learn to make gifs, it's lots of fun to do and the world needs more gifmakers! This is the tutorial where I first learned; this is a tutorial where I learned again; this is one more tutorial I stumbled across after learning which looks as accurate and detailed as a tutorial can get.
I'm sorry I'm not making into a detailed tutorial– I would genuinely love to, but I don't have that kind of time in my hands right now and I don't think I would be adding much to what's already been explained in detail by the aforementioned tutorials. That said, I'm always happy to help, so please reach out through ask or dms if you have any other question!
As for my personal giffing process:
For learning to gif ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
i CANT believe i forgot to post this here even though its my favorite atsushi fanart omg

Guess who just learned to make tadka (^3^♪
I wish loving you wasn't pointless
