One of the things that’s really pissing me of about this SARS nonsense is, Nigerians are just asking the government to stop killing us... we haven’t even discussed the fact that in 2020 we still don’t have constant electricity, or that child labour is a huge problem... Nigeria has so many issues that are detrimental to the youths and citizens of our country, issues that politicians continue to allow to line their pockets.

The missing girls, the government was silent.

Boko haram, the government did the bare minimum.

NEPA, the government was silent..

Giving jobs to the Chinese instead of Nigerians and treating us like we’re incompetent, the government was silent..

Nigerians are going hungry, silence.

Useless politicians filling their pockets with money for the people, sending their children abroad to got to school, the president flying to America and the uk for doctor appointments because Nigeria doesn’t have proper facilities... and Nigerians have managed with that for years cause “that’s Naija”... it’s foolishness.

Nigerians are trying to succeed in and be proud of the country they’re from all for their lives to be at risked because they have cell phones, laptops and look like they have money to spend... is that not madness???

Nigerians has so much to fight for and I’m so proud that they’re making they’re voices heard cause... it’s time. We can’t continue to allow people who care more about their pockets than the people run our country.

Regardless of your tribe or religion, the eradication of SARS and the reformation of Nigerian is mandatory and is only the beginning of the fight for a better Nigeria!

We will make a change... by fire by force✊🏾

It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people and culture, we just have a lot of problems and issues even before SARS... there’s a lot of work to be done...

This fund is working on providing food to remote Northern indigenous communities in Canada, where food prices tend to be ridiculously inflated.

They’re currently at $470 out of $8000 as of October 22nd!

made this zine about why it’s important to do more than just vote. i, like many of you, am pretty frustrated by the people yelling at me to go vote, as if it’s the be-all, end-all of political engagement and is the solution to all our problems. yes, i’m registered to vote. yes, i’m voting biden. BUT, we HAVE TO DO MORE.

I need every Nigerian and non-Nigerian across the world to TWEET/RETWEET and POST/REBLOG about #EndSARS to amplify what’s happening in Nigeria right now. The government ordered the military to shoot and kill peaceful protesters last night. Crimes against humanity are being committed against innocent civilians right now.

Get Stuff Done! ADHD Edition

You know all those post-it notes that populate your world? I figured out a great way to get all of those things DONE. - I know someone else may have thought of it already, but oh well :)

Step 1: Write all the things you need to do on your sticky note

Step 2: On the back, write a number (these are points)

Step 3: Every time you do a task, take down the note and collect your points

Step 4: Once you collect enough points (10, 20, 50) cash them in for a treat! Make it fun! ADHD brains love fun!

If I want my afternoon cappuccino, I must collect 15 points.

Remember, keep it simple. Don’t just write “clean the house”. Try smaller pieces like “empty the dishwasher” and “take out trash”.

**This can be for anyone, not just ADHD folks. That’s simply who I had in mind writing this post. Enjoy!

Executive Dysfunction & ADHD study tips! 😙 🌷 😘

I’ve collected study tips from myself and others who struggle with studying. Here’s a masterlist of strategies people use to help :) For those curious, #3 is my personal favourite and is probably the main reason I didn’t flunk all of my classes this year. Feel free to add your own!

Sleep, eat, exercise. The basics. Treating my body right helps me keep a routine and makes me less prone to impulsivity. This makes it a little easier for me to do the things I need to do and fight back my executive dysfunction.

Play idle games while working. Anonymous says “I get bored very, very quickly and need constant stimulation, so every time I have to wait for something, I will immediately divert my attention. Having an idle game running helps me not to lose too much focus, so I get more work done as a result.”

Use a tutor. Since I can’t follow self-imposed deadlines, I create external deadlines by booking tutoring appointments. This forces me to make sure I have at least a basic understand of the material before the session so I know what to go over. Most schools have free peer tutors available, so take advantage (if your school doesn’t, try a study group)! This is a great way to create deadlines you can follow, and it always helps to study with someone who can answer your questions and keep you on task.

Play music. @luminarily says “Sometimes I sit in silence and I get bored of it or I get a song stuck in my head or something. But I have forcibly linked music playlist and actually doing something I need to do so that when I put on music I am automatically forced to do the work I was supposed to do. So it makes the work and the listening more enjoyable both and it’s easier to stay on task… I use unpaid youtube on my phone so I can’t leave the tab or else I can’t listen to music anymore so I can’t go on my phone. And also youtube mobile lets you set watch time timers, so when my music stops I take a break and don’t burn out!”.

Play ambient noise. Similar to #4. I am not stimulated enough when taking notes, reading textbooks, etc., but listening to music can be too much and makes me stressed. I like to play ambient noise (my personal nerdy fave is Slytherin dormitory ambience on Youtube lol). It’s enough to stimulate my brain, but not overpowering to where I get distracted or stressed.

Block out time to do work. @tidal-rose​ says “I find it easy to do stuff by saying ‘I’ll do it tomorrow.’ But I don’t mean the procrastinate-y ‘I’ll do it tomorrow,’ I mean plan to do it tomorrow. Set aside a block of time when you are going to do nothing but the task. …I just realized this sounds like such a neurotypical answer oh gosh. It really does work to hack my executive disfunction”

Have a plan. If I don’t have a straightforward + actionable plan for right when I wake up, I will just do literally nothing all day. I have to know what I’m going to be doing when I wake up, like “shower, be at the library by 10am, and do practise problems there”. If I only have a vague plan like “study chemistry tomorrow” it’s a lot harder for me to do anything.

Start small. It often feels impossible to do even the bare minimum. When I can’t even get myself to write a single sentence of my paper, I try to do even less than that. Literally just open up a Word document. Even just opening up a blank page is a fantastic start, and starting is the hardest part.

Change locations. The longer I sit in one space putting off an assignment and stewing there in my anxiety about it, the harder it is to start. So I move. Even if I just go from my desk to the floor. Sometimes this can change my headspace enough to make it easier to do what I need to.

DAY 16 - LUNAR

Today, I would like to present to you víly (fairies/veelas). They appear as - you guessed it - beautiful young women in dresses lighter than dew in the mornings. They dance at forest clearings in the moonlight.

What is the difference between a víla and a divoženka (see DAY 3), you ask? Well, to be frank, I didn’t know either. Some sources list them as the same being, some differentiate between them based on where they appear. From childhood, I recall divoženky were wilder, rowdier, more dangerous. Víly are soft as moonlight, so light that they dance atop blades of grass, and they vanish in the sunlight. But then there is žínka and rusalka and…

You know what? Might be the same myth with only tiny modifications. But I will draw every kind of slavic fairy I know, because women. That’s why.

[raspberry-arev]

DAY 21 - CASCADE

Meet Rusalky, beautiful water demons. There are many theories on what the name is derived from. The one I lean towards is the supposed derivation from rusý, meaning red or ginger. Rusalky are said to have red hair, and that was always considered fascinating and dangerous.

The darker side of a rusalka’s origin is that she is… well, a woman who ended her own life by drowning. Or she is what female babies that were killed would grow up to be. Or she “just” drowned and was given a new life. 

They love to drown people, and by people I mean mostly men. Whoever you are though… if you ever see what seems to be red hair in a body of water, do not investigate, run.
