Hiatus
Hey, kind followers. School pressure is really getting tough, and to stay focused, I'm going to be uninstalling Tumblr for a while.
I regret having to do this, but I need to get through this last semester before the fun happens. I'll see you on the other side, my guys! Back around May 15, 2019 after graduation!
earthly activities
1. plant herbs. it’s not very difficult and doesn’t take up much space.
2. learn to embroider.
3. walk barefoot on grass.
4. bake bread! there a plenty of recipes online. you don’t even need yeast for some of them.
5. brew sun tea on a sunny day.
6. go for a picnic on an old, soft blanket.
7. make birdseed ornaments for the yard.
8. sunbathe (just be sure to wear sunscreen!!)

my mom has finally understood the concept of how to use “tea” as slang, but only kind of. she came into my room and said “jessie, i have tea today” and i was obviously like what happened but as it turns out she just thinks tea means information so she told me that she got avocadoes on sale. that was the tea.
Ok, but that is tea. Those avacadoes were on sale
If today felt impossible, if it took everything you have just to get through. Rest easy with the knowledge that you never have to do today again. It’s over. You did it <3
what she says: i’m fine
what she means: have you noticed that whenever people tell cheesy stories about going off the grid to find themselves, it always includes elements of feeling freedom from their appearance for the first time? not that they felt pretty or beautiful for the first time, but that for the first time, they didn’t care at all? when I lived on a farm, I didn’t care about how I looked. I washed my face and combed my hair, and nothing else mattered. nobody else cared either. we got along with each other, or we didn’t, but we worked together to get our work done, and we ate well, and we explored the world, and we were mostly happy.
similarly, people joke that hiking or camping or roadtrips “lowers the bar” of what we consider attractive. that after two months on the appalachian trail, suddenly you find people attractive even with messy hair, and no makeup, and when they smell a little funky. and you feel good about yourself even though you have messy hair, and no makeup, and you smell kind of funky.
we like to laugh at this phenomenon as if we’re all just a bunch of hippies forgetting what it’s like to be and look “normal” for a while, but I think what’s actually going on is very said because the truth is
we’re just realizing that when we escape media for a few months, a few weeks, a few days, when we’re not comparing ourselves to impossible images, when we’re not told we have to have this body, this face-shape, this color skin, no acne, no scars, straight teeth, shaved armpits, a “good” smile, the “right” clothes, the “correct” gender presentation,
suddenly, we feel good about ourselves. The truth is, we’re experiencing freedom from the pressures of what society deems “acceptable,” “pretty,” “attractive,” for the first time, and we can then realize how fucked up our modern idea of beauty has become.
it messes me up.
I love how the ‘LADIES PICTURE THIS’ implies that men are extinct and that’s why everything works now
Most men love women who possess confidence only when it makes them fun, flirty, and comfortable in their sexuality. But the second you demonstrate high standards, a strong will, and the assertiveness required to call them out of their bullshit then all of a sudden you’re a bitch.
But, not all men are like that.
little study tips
set up a reward system: be that candy, lighting your favorite scented candle, watching that episode of b99, or scrolling through tumblr aimlessly for 5 minutes! ensures you stay motivated while completing tasks step by step
create a vision board: vision boards are collections of pictures that motivate you or describe a future you want to achieve. not only is it a lot of fun, you learn a lot about yourself and your goals and always have something to give you that spike of motivation. tip: pinterest has amazing boards on every. topic. out. there
break up your larger tasks into smaller ones: i’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times but it’s so important to create a list of smaller tasks instead of one big one. everything seems much more do-able once of a sudden, and you can prioritize certain tasks much more easily.
write it down instead of looking at it: if you really want to memorize something, writing it down will help you a lot more than just repeating the words out loud or staring at them. this also goes for any structures you need to know by heart: printing out a picture and labeling it is way better than just looking at the labeled textbook!
just start for 5 minutes: even if you don’t feel like it, tell yourself you’ll only do it for 5 minutes. this makes it easier to actually get started on things, and might still trick you into continuing the work even after those 5 minutes are over.
write a letter to your future self: some websites, such as futureme, offer the free service of being able to send yourself an email in some months, a year or multiple years from now. thinking about how much can change in that amount of time and how far you can come is extremely motivating, and also a very nice surprise for your future self.
screaming at self to paint the fucking deer already
Here’s the fucking deer.
I scanned the fucking deer. I might post him properly on my art account, but here he is clearer for anyone that wanted to see.
Part of me didnt want to hit like or reblog because the notes were so beautiful…
But then i thought; this art is even more beautiful. And now hello 10002 notes.
This deserves a second reblog
To anyone who needs these words of encouragement from the one and only. And me, I believe in you.
*SLAMS THE REBLOG BUTTON FASTER THAN THE FIRETRUCK RESPONDING TO A FIRE EMERGENCY*
Admin: Before I go to sleep I just want to reblog this.

نزعت الخطاف من فم احد القروش وعند مشاهدة القروش الاخرى لذلك صارت القروش تأتي لنفس المكان لنزع الخطاف من فمها علما ان هذه القروش لا تحب ان يلمسها احد.
هذا في البهاما والغواصة ،خلال الـ 15 سنة الماضية ، أزالت 250 خطاف.
“She removed the hook from the mouth of one of the sharks and with other sharks watching, so the sharks come to the same place to to get hooks removed from their mouths. Note [???] In the Bahamas and [???], over the past 15 years, she has removed 250 hooks.”
This is beautiful
There are fewer stories about Hermes.
Yes, he features in many. He makes appearances in myths. Providing aid to the hero, consulting with Zeus, ferrying souls. But always in the background, always a supporting character.
If he’s in a mood to joke– and he usually is – he’ll point to the Nords, say “now there’s a culture that knows how to treat their trickster God.”
But he loves it, really. He loves that space between tales. He loves the image of himself slipping through scrolls, living on the edges of stories.
There are fewer stories about Hermes, because Hermes does not tell them.
He prefers to be all-purpose. Hermes, the God of whatever needs divinity. Hermes, God of thieves and merchants, God of tortoises and Hawks, God of contradictions.
The joke, on Earth. A woman might be complaining about everyday troubles, and someone will say “take it to the Gods.”
“Oh really?” She’ll say. “The God of aching feet? The God of belly fat? I’ll just send a prayer to the God of spoilt milk.”
And someone will say, “just give it to Hermes.”
And everyone will laugh. Hermes, God of whatever.
But in those small moments, those small hurts, it is Hermes that they pray to. Because the messenger God listens, the messenger God carries every prayer, and sometimes that’s all that is needed.
Hermes cares about humanity because he cares about stories. He cares about the flicker of words from mouths, about the way information travels in haphazard lightning across continents.
He thinks himself the start of every tale, and often he is. The figure by the fire, the rich whisper of the narrator, the heat on enraptured faces. Hermes thinks himself the one to carry stories from reality to legend. He thinks himself the one who creates heroes. And it’s true, in a way. A hero is created only when stories are told about them.
And Hermes’ reward is the stories he doesn’t tell. The one God privy to playground myths, to bedtime legends, to the way people narrate the Gods when they aren’t in temple.
Hermes finds himself, there in the background, along the edges of stories he didn’t make. People add him in for that trace of humor, for that wicked smile. He’s delighted every time. The only God to take actors aside, to whisper congratulations on their portrayal of him.
If there is a story about Hermes, he didn’t tell it. It came, instead, from the storyteller being asked to repeat “the part where Hermes…” from children asking their mother to “do the Hermes voice again.” Even the Gods can’t reckon for how tales take on a new life down below. Even the God of messengers can’t contain the flow of a story from person to person.
If there is a story about Hermes, he has been in the audience every time, has heard it over and over.
If there is a story about Hermes, he knows it.
Oh Gods, this has me crying… It’s funny because the bulk of my answered asks has me suggesting Hermes to everyone who has feuding gods or for gods who you need a better connection with. “Worship both Athena and Ares? Put Hermes between them.” Having a hard time with Apollo or need to sharpen your godphone skills? Add Hermes to your practice.
I have always been the kind of person who would end up following Hermes because I’m someone who does a lot of things he likes. I don’t like going to places unless I have cash for the less fortunate begging that I might bump into on the way to my destination. I’ve had to smooth talk my way out of PLENTY of dangerous situations. I am learning so many languages which I take to Hermes for better methods of learning them quickly. I also travel a lot so I am always one prayer away from wherever I’m going. My personal philosophy is “a day without laughter is a day wasted.” I’m HUGE on comedy. I remember Hermes coming to me and going “you literally come to me for EVERYTHING… Don’t you think it’s time I got my own altar? Put me by Apollo, it’ll be our little bachelor god corner! <3”
There’s so much more but I wanted to post this because I depend on Hermes for A LOT. My wife and I smile because I worship Aphrodite, she worships Tyche (daughter of Aphrodite and Hermes) and we both worship Hermes. Like this post says, we depend on Hermes for everything else. Need something but don’t know who to contact? Take it to Hermes. I love him so much! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Kal El…. is literally Hebrew. It means Voice of God. He’s a Jewish illegal immigrant. For a reason. He was written in the 30s.
I mean Superman was literally written as an allegory for first generation American Jews dealing with the struggle of assimilation vs maintaining traditional culture. The birth of Superman as a comic was essentially Jewish Immigrant history.

little kids being really nasty and rude (not just to adults but to anybody!!!) isnt “cute” or funny please stop???
This is why my little sister (now 16) is such a bitch. My mom encouraged her nasty behavior when she was younger cause it was “cute” but now she’s just mean.
