20-something Plans

[sexceptionul]

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

You report the user, choose “something else”, scroll down and choose “suicide or self harm”

SAVE A LIFE

[quotemadness]

Don’t listen to those people who suggest you should be ‘over it’ by now. The people who squawk the loudest about such things have almost never had to get over anything. Or at least not anything that was genuinely, mind..soul-crushingly life altering.

You let time pass. That’s the cure. You survive the days. You float like a rabid ghost through the weeks. You cry and wallow and lament and scratch your way back up through the months. And then one day you find yourself alone on a bench in the sun and you close your eyes and lean your head back and you realize you’re okay.

modern hades and persephone where persephone is a tired college student and when she finds out the god of the underworld wants to make her his bride she’s like “become queen of the dead AND never have to go to an 8 AM lecture again, not to mention watch with popcorn as my ex dies and finds out my new boyfriend is his new king? YES PLZ” and just fucking swandives down into the underworld and hades is like “…i had a carriage prepared but okay that works too”

Rant about arguments

I wish that I was better at articulating my arguments! In my head later when I have time I have all these things that I could've said. In the heat of the moment I can't think logically and end up just saying fuck you you're stupid. I have a bunch of "friends" on Facebook that support Trump (I'm from Canada) I always choke on getting in a good argument.

I found this on pintrest and tried to find the thread but couldn't... but I thought of something to add to this.... trudat because we have Trudeau hahahahaha

It was originally built by Henry Flagler as part of the Overseas Railroad which was completed in 1912. Flagler funded the construction of the bridge, along with the rest of the railway himself. It was purchased by the state of Florida and converted for highway use in 1938 after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Rather than completely rebuilding the bridge after the hurricane, the existing structure was repaired and the deck for the Overseas Highway was added on top, as the existing deck inside the truss was too narrow for vehicular traffic. The bridge served as the primary mode of transport to the islands of the lower Keys, and as a primary evacuation route.

In Ottawa, vinyl covers combat graffiti on traffic control boxes

Like countless big cities around the globe, Canada’s capital has been battling graffiti for years, including commissioning artists for a citywide mural program targeting large surfaces. Recently, however, a new program was introduced for Ottawa’s frequently vandalized traffic control boxes that uses brightly colored vinyl covers to both deter graffiti and make it easier to remove.

Paper idea

[nathan-osterhaus]

Taipei, Taiwan, 2016

[lettersfromhav]

So you have to write a research paper. Welcome to the basis for grading in many humanities courses. The nice thing is that usually you will have a decent amount of time to do this. The not-so-nice thing is that grading is (in my experience) enormously subjective. Since every professor will likely have a different scale for grading, the best you can do is prepare a solid paper and trust that your work will speak for itself. Here are some ideas for getting started (plus a quick guide to note-taking and essay writing):

prompts: Were you given a prompt for this research paper? If so, you’re in luck. If not, don’t worry—you’re going to create your own. Let’s assume you’ve been given a prompt, or possibly several prompts to choose from. Read them over, highlighting or underlining key words. Then, choose the one that either you want to answer, or that you feel capable of answering. Sometimes this is a choice between writing a paper that bores you but covers materials you know well (if, for example, you’re overworked and don’t have a lot of time), or writing a paper you’re sincerely interested in but would have to do a lot more prep work for. Also, the prompt should tell you details such as number of sources required, page-length, formatting, citation style, etc., so be sure to mark those. Why start here? Well, you won’t get very far in gathering sources if you don’t have a prompt.

key words: But wait, how do you know which words are key in a prompt? OK, so let’s say you’re writing for an English class; probably there will be themes, characters, certain quotations mentioned in the prompt. Or for a history class, there will probably be a time period, political slant, policy question, etc. Look for imperatives such as, “explain,” “examine,” “address,” “evaluate,” and the like. The prompts, if they are written well, will offer you a lot of info for formulating your thesis. There may also be a direct question in the prompt. If so, make sure you answer it! 

make your own: Sometimes you’ll be told, “Write me a paper,” and set loose. I know a lot of my students find this incredibly frustrating so I don’t do it to them; that said, some professors still will. So what you have to do then is, in a way, be your own professor. What have you studied this semester that you want to know more about? What have you read that you found really interesting? Perhaps there is a certain character you really dislike who somehow gets a good ending in the plot of a novel—why might that be? Perhaps there’s a regime change that had a lot of interesting things going on in the background, which your class didn’t have time to focus on—look into it more. Basically, the prompt-less essay should inspire freedom, not panic. You get to write about whatever you want! The difficulty comes in making sure you still have a well-structured paper, so read on.
