In case you haven’t seen it, this news has been circling the internet today:
“This would decimate American leadership in space.”…
TL;DR:
The pending budget plan to be proposed by the WH will include enormous cuts to the current NASA budget. Such cuts would be devastating to not only my career, but the future of American space and earth/climate science research.
The current draft includes:
A Two-thirds cut to astrophysics
Greater than two-thirds cut to heliophysics
Greater than 50 percent cut to Earth science
30 percent cut to Planetary Science
Zero funding for the Roman Space Telescope (the next-gen JWST, which we’ve already begun building)
Forced closure of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center(and the loss of 10,000+ associated jobs)
Much more
NASA’s current budget only comprises 0.36% of the total federal budget ($0.0036 per dollar spent by the government)
You have benefitted from NASA’s work, the cell phone in your hand is a result of government investment into the sciences. Please, consider contacting your representatives requesting they support the future of science in the United States. The Planetary Society has created an easy tool to do so in a matter of minutes:
The Planetary Society is organizing a new space constituency that is educated, empowered, and loud.
it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
Hello! If you´re reading this, welcome to my blog! I am pretty new to Tumblr, but I´ve always admired the Studyblrs here, so I thought of making one too. I am really excited to start this, so let´s go!

Education ✮⋆˙
Gymnasium
As I´m still in high school I still have all my chosen (mandatory) subjects, but the ones I chose to have advanced are: Math, Physics, Economics and Art
My current average grade is 9,5 (out of 10)
────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────
Hobbies ✮⋆˙
Figure Skating!
I do figure skating and passed the 8. Kürklasse (German system). Currently trying to improve and train for the 7th.
Art!
I love everything related to art. I have to keep a sketchbook for school, but I really enjoy working very long on paintings.
Adventure & Mountains!
Skiing, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, camping, cycling, you name it...
The internet!
memes, youtube, Pinterest, etc. Also kpop; I love kpop in general, but Stray Kids in particular (they´re my ult). I´m a huge STAY, but other groups i like are: Xikers, Nmixx, xdHeroes and Zb1 and many many more tbh

My Studyblr ✮⋆˙
Why did I make a Studyblr?
Motivation! Tracking and actually posting my progress makes me even more motivated to study. Because pretty pictures make everything better!!
Discipline! Honestly, I spend waaaay too much time on my phone. With this blog I hope to make a routine for myself and minimize my screen time, as I´m going to be posting here instead scrolling (hopefully).
Give back to the community! Studyblr helped me discover countless useful tips and tricks, as well as cool blogs that motivate me! I want to share my experiences in my own little corner of the internet for people to find.
Goals:
find a way to study sustainably, without burning out every other week
get my goal grades on exams and reports
figure out what I want to do in the future (mainly deciding on what I want to study in university)
genuinely enjoy my life as a teenager, and not “sit locked in my basement all day” - as my friend put it after seeing my grades lol
What to expect:
This blog is both a journal and archive for my academic journey, a diary of sorts. There will be everything and anything related to school (mostly tracking my progress), but also just my life. All photos are mine, except said otherwise.
