studying while neurodivergent big post

this post is mainly targeted at people who are at university/college and have a disorder that makes studying challenging (e.g. you experience executive dysfunction, perfectionism, concentration issues).

however. some of these tips might be useful in general, so I'm not going to stop anyone from following my advice even if they're neurotypical

preparing for class

in general: do it. prepare for your classes. it makes it more likely that you're actually going to show up (in my experience)

you don't have to read every single word of every single reading. read the introductions, the abstracts, the sub-headings, and the conclusion. you can go back and read the rest if it feels necessary

take notes while you read. they don't have to be pretty, it's just about keeping your brain engaged with what you're learning

bring all your notebooks into uni with you if possible! this way, there's nothing stopping you from procrastinating studying for one class by studying for another class (which is a fine and good thing to do)

most textbooks are available for free or for cheap in the depths of the internet or in a secondhand bookshop :)

things to keep in mind for being in class

uni is not high school. it's unlikely that a lecturer or tutor is going to get mad at you if you bring something to stim with (as long as it isn't super disruptive)

go to class! even if you haven't done the readings! going to class will give you access to class discussions and a general flow of ideas that will help you with your assignments

skipping class to do an assignment might feel like a good idea, but it's actually a very terrible idea. don't do it. it is not worth it

be honest with your classmates about what you're finding confusing. chances are that they'll either have a cool way to explain it, or they'll be just as confused (in which case, you may have just given them the courage to ask!)

you're allowed to just walk out early if you start to get overwhelmed. people won't judge you or call you out for it. it's okay to leave early

general studying tips

association is the name of the game! pair a certain song, smell, taste, or colour with each class, and be consistent with it. our memories are deeply tied to our senses, and this kind of association will help to remind your brain what class you're doing

don't do what looks pretty or sounds cool, do what works. if you like to listen to your lectures as if they're podcasts while you're doing the dishes... great! if you like to turn facts into puns... awesome! whatever works is good!

count yourself in. if you've been sitting around thinking "I need to do maths" for the past however long, trick your brain by saying out loud "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, MATHS!" and then GO

another cool brain trick is to tell yourself that you're only going to study for 10 minutes, or you're only going to read one chapter. this lowers the barrier to getting started, and will usually help you get into the flow and get at least something done

if body-doubling works for you, then do it! organise a day each week to meet up with a friend and study together! you'll both appreciate it

keep your phone in a different room from your studying gear

get one of those content keeper extensions on your computer, and get your best friend to set the password. this will protect you from the pull of Tumblr when you're meant to be reading about politics in Botswana or whatever

essays

read the question! read it again! highlight the important words in the question! read it out loud! and only THEN figure out how you're going to answer it

you can't edit a blank page. whack some words down. come back to them later. your first go does not have to be perfect

organise your notes by theme, not by which article gave you the idea. this will help you to turn notes into paragraphs with consistent arguments

cite as you go. take note of where you found each of your quotes. it is so much better this way, I promise

your essay plan only needs to make sense to you. lay out your plan however you like. again, it's better to have something on the page than nothing

make your essay writing timeline as if you know that disaster will strike the week of the due date. pretend that the due date is a week before it actually is. give yourself due dates for smaller parts of the assignment. whatever it takes to trick your brain into actually doing it ahead of time!!

use text to speech to catch grammar mistakes! hearing your essay read back out loud to you will make it easier to tell when something sounds wrong or bad or clunky

self-care advice

you won't do well on your exams if you're having several meltdowns a day, so you better be looking after your emotional health!!

eat three meals a day if you can. bring snacks with you everywhere. studying makes you hungry, and your brain needs the fuel. carrying around emergency muesli bars everywhere never hurt anyone

have a big water bottle and also carry it around with you everywhere. when you're studying, it can be easy to forget to keep your fluids up, but having your drink bottle on your desk can be a visual reminder to keep on drinking

STRETCH! stretch in between classes. stretch after taking lots of notes. you do not want to damage your arm muscles from typing/writing too much

don't abandon your hobbies during the semester if it is at all possible. don't sacrifice your weekend knitting or your early morning jog. those are the things that you enjoy, and they are the things that will keep you sane once the stress hits

sleep early, sleep often. all-nighters are not the way

this is kind of all I can think of at the moment! I hope at least something on this big long list is helpful for anyone who is studying at the moment. remember that your grades don't define you, and that you are more than just a student!

Timeline: Part 9 - December 1-10 2017

For earlier timeline posts: click here or here.

December starts out strong with a daily bombardment of tons of stories about Meghan and/or Harry. Their PR backs off in the middle of the month, but only barely. Luckily for us, there is salvation: Meghan gets her first, second, third, and fourth dose of royal criticism.

Like I mentioned in the November 2017 timeline, this month sees Meghan pulling her support from Star Magazine, US Weekly, and E Online. People Magazine begins to earn her loyalty instead.

Ok, apparently I exceeded the limit of links that can be in a Tumblr post. the December edition is going to be split up into smaller segments. I've got a solution for how to fix this going forward, but it's going to take some time to figure out how to implement it.

12/3/2017: Meghan merches the Botswana camp again. The Times writes about Meghan's old instagram account and Bogart and leads speculation about bridesmaids and pageboys. Et tu, Times?!

[anonymoushouseplantfan]

If Harry thought the world was rough, he is about to face the music. Their fans will side with Meghan. He could have gone after William alone and perhaps he would have had a chance , but to drag the kids? He will really know what it's like to be alone.

True, but post-divorce Harry can find Meghan 2.0 and essentially start this whole process all over again with a new American starlet who will develop her own rabid fan base and have her own publicity team to counteract Meghan’s. He can essentially reboot his brand because he can create a new “American Princess” storyline for the press by just inviting a new girl to Botswana and handing her a “Diana collection” diamond. Hollywood and the brands know that, which is why he still gets to wear Dior.

Meghan can’t do that. Hollywood and the brands know that too.

Season 2, Episode 10: the deep dive caper for @csweekly

On the surface, this seems like an underwhelming title, but it really does describe the deep dive Carmen takes in the ocean and into her past.

This is such a serious moment but I honestly can’t help but laugh at how dramatic Carmen is to Player. He knows exactly where she’s going they’re nearly there. He chartered their flight. But I understand it’s a nice parallel to the end of last season where she promised never to go back, as Zack kindly reminds us.

Protective Ivy is also a fav, even if it’s just from Zack’s big mouth lol. But honestly this is just another in a long line of instances where Zack is legit just trying to relate and make Carmen feel better. She said she’d never go back? Yeah but circumstances change. That’s what he’s (probably) trying to say. Since he used the same tactic to cheer her up after Carmen’s altitude sickness. Great line tho about the peppers and onions 😂

“It’ll be just like old times” SOBBING Carmen remembers those days fondly.

Player concerned enough that he actually suggests calling in ACME. For all they know, everything is still intact on VILE island. Carmen would need to sneak past or fight the Faculty the Cleaners and untold operatives. On their home turf. Player remembers how hard it was for Carmen to escape the first time. He does not want to risk losing Carmen again. He is fully aware at how serious this is. This is his last chance to change her mind. What must have been going through Player’s mind as he watches Carmen’s hat on his map go from (presumably) Casablanca to the Canary Islands? The opposite of what he watched her do the night of the graduation caper and when she left with the coat and hat.

Player didn’t get a chance to tell Carmen that he tracked Chief until now 👀 She’s surprised, but isn’t mad. Nice for later in the episode. The guilt when he admits it was Shadowsan’s idea is excellent.

Carmen just finishes telling Player that if VILE knew she was coming they’d destroy the evidence. Thank you for confirming exactly what happened because you asked for help (1) time and stole a key card (though for legit information gathering)

She missed it by two weeks. And this would have been right before Botswana. Coach Brunt leaves from here to go to the mine. Carmen arrives before Brunt, as she’s there to observe Brunt taking a tour. Poetic that (it could just about work) Carmen wakes and is restless at the same time across the world, VILE Academy is destroyed?

The scenes of the empty halls of the Academy…this is what happened before they destroyed the Castle-ship in VLD. It’s super effective on my heart.

I love the Faculty plotting haha. Cleo is utterly gleeful at Maelstroms suggestion.

Boris’s teddy bear 🥹 goodness i LOVE the Cleaners as characters.

Okay so if Devineaux is on the island all scruffy and angry, he’s been there a day or two. He missed VILE by DAYS. The one time his bad luck wasn’t of his own doing. This is the best comedy. I also like the insinuation that he explored every inch of that island that he could get to before deciding to leave. He didn’t check his gas and he didn’t check his phone he literally went looking for VILE first.

Weather satellites my beloved.

Considering that Roundabout would have needed to put bribes in the right places for governments around the world to not notice that explosion.

The way Carmen pauses at Shadowsan’s old classroom.

Listen, I know it would have ruined the mood but how FUNNY it would have been for Carmen to rescue Chase off of the island. I still can’t believe they were there at the same time. I really want to be a fly on the wall post series when Chase and Julia finally get to compare notes with Ivy and Zack.

THEY ARE AT A DiNER IN TEXAS I'M HOWLING. (Or somewhere in the southern U.S. I don’t know my dialects well enough). So sinister and yet completely in place. I bet they’re at a Waffle House, no one would bat an eye at this behavior.

And Roundabout joins the Faculty. It’s almost not fair, how could any other operative top his resources. He does a cool job though plot wise! I was entertained.

Devineaux’s entire castaway montage is gold. I don’t know what else to say. I bet there’s a storyboard out there where he talks to a coconut. He is at his lowest of the low here. Even no longer an Interpol employee. He has nothing. Which means, it can only go up from here. He had to be humbled first.

Ahhhh and VILEs side of the story comes out. The absolute pain in Players face and voice when he’s about to tell Carmen her father was Faculty. I love that Player is reading this to her in real time. She’s been on the comms waiting patiently. The AGONY.

This whole rest of the episode is pain. The angst literally overflows. It’s amazing.

Carmen first thought, her first HOPE is that her father was Interpol. The way she rambled off that theory. When Player confirms he’s VILE you can tell in her voice and eyes that she goes through the five stages of grief and then tries to hide it by focusing on the facts. ‘Okay if he’s VILE, then it’s a code name’. And her SHOCK at finding out he was Faculty. Magnificent scene.

*grabs popcorn* Carmen confronts Shadowsan. Carmen’s anger finally comes out. She has been waiting. And she finds out he was indeed still withholding secrets. No more.

“Your silence. Is like Thunder” rate this the coolest line ever. It sets the stage SO well with fading to Carmen standing stiff in the doorway. I’m trembling.

Shadowsan’s so good at masking his emotions, even turned away from Carmen, that i really can’t tell how much this does or does not blindside him. Goodness the man is hiding emotions from HIMSELF.

“Did you take my fathers life?”

Shadowsan’s truthful answer is immediate. Carmen, however, doesn’t have the full story yet and in defense of her considering Shadowsan’s track record, doesn’t believe him.

“If you run, I will find you” is this the most dangerous sounding that Carmen’s been to date? Because it sure feels like it.

The way he says “no more running no more secrets” with such resignation but also guilt in a dignified way.

Where do I even BEGIN to unpack this.

Okay first of all, Dexter Wolfe. Wolfe is an interesting code name as it is one of singular strength but also very pack oriented. So that combined with the “lone wolf” moniker suits him well, as he didn’t like to be on the island and didn’t fit with the rest of the Faculty. They thought it was VILE as the pack, but his pack is really Carmen and her mother. Next, Dexter. I always wondered why *Dexter*. I think it’s a play on “dexterity”, as in his agility and thieving fingers.

Listen, it honestly kills me that Carmen is absolutely her father’s daughter. He can’t sit still. Loves the thrill of the hunt. Beat of his own drum. Was willing to defy VILE for the sake of others. As Carmen is listening to Shadowsan tell his side of the account, she has to be thinking this. He was the best. And was never caught. Until VILE caught him.

Omg younger Faculty. I like how Cleo and Bellum really dig into their code names lol, they scream “new Faculty members testing the waters”. I am eternally interested in how they all became Faculty. I get the sense that Maelstrom is senior and that’s why he does a lot of the speaking for the others. 100% betting that they both cut their hair because of Black Sheep.

ANYWAY. Young operative Shadowsan is so interesting. Because of his skill set. Implies that they don’t have the Cleaners yet? But they are there by the time Black Sheep is grade school age. I’m thinking Shadowsan the operative was a test run for wanting to hire someone like the Cleaners. Also how did Shadowsan get to VILE Academy? I’d say it’s pretty clear that they’ve got business ties to the yakuza, and Shadowsan literally was an exchange student, a promising young star that could do bigger and better things for both parties benefits. Just a theory.

The INCREDIBLY soft way that Shadowsan says “you”, and the way the music shifts. I LOVE.

Okay, baby Carmen can stand briefly, point, and sit up very well. Crawls like a pro, ready to take first steps but not quite there. My estimate is 9 months old, give or take. Now a parent myself, I get it. First 3-4 months Carmen wouldn’t have been doing much, eating sleeping and pooping mostly, but after that she’d have really started to become aware and want to engage in the world. That lines up to close to half a year that Dexter might want to be away to be with her more frequently, because first laugh, smiling at her primary caregivers. Dexter would have craved that. Badly. So it’s part of his slip up. And that lines up to when VILE begins to notice something is off. I’m not emotional.

THE WAY BABY CARMEN FINDS SHADOWSAN AND LIKES HIM IMMEDIATELY. “Play with me,” she’s saying. And he does, 20 years later, to take down VILE.

Dexter cocky that he isn’t paranoid at all.

The way they build up to Dexter’s fate is so tense. Like, Shadowsan told us that it wasn’t him, and never has he technically lied, but as an audience we don’t trust him either. Carmen is emotionally compromised that she can’t consider anything else right now. Brilliant writing. The music and scene transitions are so effective as always.

And Carmen isn’t angry any longer. Not really. She’s just really really sad. Overwhelmed.

Dexter promised to return for Carmen. Despite that, I don’t really understand what his plan was. Was he going to escape, let Interpol find her, and then kidnap her back? Was he going to bring the car around? Did he know Shadowsan was there and knew he wouldn’t hurt the baby? Did he have plans with the nanny that she would return in just this situation? Stressful situation for him, so he probably was not thinking clearly, as Shadowsan says next.

In the other light, Carmen now knows without a shadow of a doubt that her parents loved her and did not abandon her on purpose. This is the important takeaway. I’m sure it was always in the back of her mind considering the story she was told. And the forefront of late after Player shared his experiences with her.

Dexter had a red car. Color theory. Also, the inner house is yellow as Shadowsan watches, that’s typically a color used for team red Allies (most of the civilians of the day have some yellow prominence in their outfits, while Julia has a red shirt, Devineaux has both red and yellow stripes on his tie, less prominent than Julia’s shirt). It bathes young Shadowsan in yellow, already showing that he is on Carmen’s side.

Chief no 😭 and in this very moment, as if nothing else were crashing Carmen’s world around her, this is the cherry on top. Trying to trust a new ally. SMH but yes, this is why ACME uses gas guns.

I love Chief’s angry face, she keeps her temper.

That’s how the doll got burn marks *sobbing mess on the floor*

Did anyone write the fic detailing young Shadowsan’s trip across the Atlantic with baby Carmen? Please inform me where.

“Why would you make me find out on my own?” REAL. This scene is so emotionally charged I literally cannot keep up. ANGRY as she validly should be.

Shadowsan is CRYING. He has held this to HIMSELF for TWENTY YEARS

Carmen understands. Despite the emotional turmoil she just went through, she understands Shadowsan’s feelings enough that she takes pause and decides to prove him right or wrong. Which makes me think that despite it all, Shadowsan’s instincts on Carmen questioning herself were valid. That’s interesting.

However, she chooses now to channel what she knows into an even fiercer conviction. And that’s strength. Something that perhaps she might not have had at the beginning. Something she gained in Ivy, Zack, Shadowsan, and everyone else she’s met since Player.

COMMANDER let me scratch you and rub your little toe beans.

Okay I wasn’t crazy. Chief has gold ish eyes. (That’s yellow color theory fans)

Ivy and Zack: 0

Coffee Machine: 1

Maybe VILE needs whatever disguise Ivy and Zack have, because the chief of ACME, a covert organization that has been following and collecting any and all information on Carmen Sandiego and her “partners” has NO idea who they are (yet).

The way Carmen comes in, locks the door, and changes the sign to closed.

“Lost my pen” is a good neutral way of saying “my childhood mother figure who once tried to kill me kidnapped me and while doing so fried it. It also electrocuted me.”

“You must be ready to enlist” oh Chief. I’m sorry.

Carmen is so neutral and cool, completely unlike when she last chatted in Botswana, when she was hopeful that this partnership could work. It almost hurts to see it all go backwards.

Chief needs to take IT security training. She failed before Carmen even asked.

I’m so sorry Julia. You had nothing to do with this. Chief didn’t have to loop you in.

This is where Chief hits her downfall. Her desperation to prove VILE exists makes her not think clearly and ignore every corporate safety rule.

I do love to see Player in action though, so it’s fine : D “I’m on a shopping spree”. I’m 90% sure that Carmen told Player that they needed to get ACME’s files. He says he needs a Trojan, and she’s like “we have an empty VILE hard drive” and Player says “I’ll have it ready and mailed to you asap”

And confirms Shadowsan’s account of what happened that night.

1999. Given that Vera Cruz “died” two weeks prior, and that Carmen is nearing one year old, Carmen is a 90s baby. And I think that’s a beautiful homage to the 90s cartoon that they specify her age that way. 99% sure that’s the reason.

The absolute relief on Carmen’s face as Shadowsan reveals the empty coffin. The PEACE. She realizes that her parents were that close to starting a new hidden life with her in the middle of it. It’s comforting and heartbreaking at the same time. She knows her story. She can move forward now with conviction.

“I have a mother who may or may not know I’m alive.”

“Are you with me?”

“To the end of the line”

Let’s go s3

Oh yes, can’t forget to bring our favorite walking disaster back to the fold. Time to bring him around and for Julia to put her foot down.

Another curated appearance! DM: Prince Harry honors his late mother Princess Diana's HIV work and says 'Africa is in his soul' as he jets into Miami for 'intimate' panel and charity polo match - after swerving livestream at $1600-a-ticket event with Mindy Kaling by u/Von_und_zu_

Another curated appearance! DM: Prince Harry honors his late mother Princess Diana's HIV work and says 'Africa is in his soul' as he jets into Miami for 'intimate' panel and charity polo match - after swerving livestream at $1,600-a-ticket event with Mindy Kaling And, of course, dining out on mummy again. What a surprise!And Africa! He loves it so much!! (No word about African Parks though). 'Africa's in my heart, Africa's in my soul,' he said. 'I first went there when I was 12... 13 years old, and after so many years I wanted to give back to it because it had given me so much. 'The vast open space, the cultures, the communities, the people, the wildlife, just the freedom was a huge piece of why I loved Africa so much. Last night Harold did a Sentebale thing and a "panel" presentation. Today, apparently Harold is playing polo with Nacho for Sentabale. This is different than the other polo happening this weekend that we have been told is being filmed for Netfilx. Will the cameras film Nacho and Harold playing today for Netflix too? As photos and video emerged from the event, it was revealed that Harry - who was not pictured with his wife Meghan Markle in Florida - is also due to take part in a charity polo match today, alongside his longtime friend Nacho Figueras. According to The Independent, longtime polo fanatic Harry will captain one of three teams taking part in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, which is being held in aid of Sentebale, a charity he co-founded in 2016 to help vulnerable children in Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi, including those who are affected by extreme poverty and the HIV/Aids epidemic.Harry's participation in the polo match, which is being held at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Palm Beach, comes just one day after it was revealed that he is working on a new Netflix project that will focus on the glamorous world of professional polo. \**It is not known whether the Netflix cameras will be present at Harry's polo match on Friday, however there filming is expected to take place at the US Open Polo Championships, which take place in Wellington, Florida, over the weekend.  **Today Harry will endeavor to keep that cause going when he teams up with longtime polo player pal Nacho - who is known as the 'David Beckham of polo' - for their latest charity match. The event will see the duo going head-to-head as captains of opposing teams, with Harry leading one of three groups taking part in the competition, while Nacho will head up another. Nacho - who is an ambassador for Sentebale - was present at the event on Thursday night, where he was seen posing up with the charity's CEO Richard Miller, as well as panelist Dr. Chandauka.Although the polo player is not understood to have spoken on the panel, he will undoubtedly be given a role in Harry's upcoming Netflix series about the world of polo - having played a major part in the Duke's participation in the sport over the years. https://ift.tt/RPDyFEJ post link: https://ift.tt/UhfHPro author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: April 12, 2024 at 08:49PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

The BAD SH Timeline....Pt 1

As requested by nobody, save yours truly....

2016

March/April  - Filming on the Plaiderdale pilot begins, Cole’s definitely interested and already fighting off a bunch of castmates....PP seemingly has limited socialization, but shit IS happening.

There are indications Cole might not have been the only dude she hooked up with in those 2 weeks.

April/May - Cole goes to Botswana and is back in NYC with his friends, when everybody’s in town for Upfronts, he decides he’s moving to LA (for PP), she’s seemingly still also involved with Sam, but Cole begins introducing her to his closest friends in LA throughout the summer....

August - It’s Cole’s bday, but PP’s decided to fuck off to NC to spiral miserably, even tho it appears she and Cole had grown much closer just before/during Comicon.

September - Everybody’s back in Van and PP is still slutting it up....Cole is now making mopey, shading posts, even....

October - PP mopes back to NC for a few days to sulk over her goddaughter/leash she’d eventually forget. Interestingly, we have the first of positive recorded interactions, SH seem to have gotten together at some point. This is probably when MUA Erin famously told PP to go for it.

Nov/Dec - Verrryyyy much apart for the holidays, tho Cole seems quite happy in his interactions and supportively likes PP’s NYE post. We also know they’ve become a thing throughout this....oh and Crotchi psychotically stalking Cole and PP doing next to nothing, oddly.

Also, despite her propensity to sidepiece peeps, already established she and KokeJ haaattteee each other.

2017

Jan - show premieres, floodgates open in fandumb

Feb/March - Cole’s having to do “bestie” bullshit with KokeJ, PP has a small role in a movie/visiting fam.....tho it seems like all’s well, in retrospect, some weird, public sulking from both on Twitter, might actually indicate a split of some sort.

Although they’re clearly together when they interview at a Con, PP seems to not be able to help herself and hits on other male cast mates, there and in Mexico.

April - Mexico! PP whines about a UTI (supposedly), flirts for the cameras with KokeJ (who, interestingly, is booted back to the USA, early!), picks a catfight with Assleigh, and while she DOES stay behind and do cultural stuff with Cole, afterwards, she appears bored by it and gets pissy with fans, cuz moar interested in Cole....

May/June(??) - Back in LA, does see lots of Cole, however.....when the cast attends Wizardcon in Philly, while not nearly as utterly obnoxious as KokeJ (this begins my full contempt for his ass), she’s still openly jealous of Cole’s line of fans, which she and Crotchi bitch about on camera. During the panel, I now suspect the “ribbing” she and Cole exchanged was a LOT less “good natured” than we thought at the time.....”dogs, cuz I’m whipped....” could indicate how manipulative PP already was.

In fact, it’s all enough for Cole that he ditches everybody when their flight’s delayed and goes to NYC for a week ALONE....which, again, something we all rationalized at the time, but in retrospect, indicates something was a LOT moar negative....it also indicates PP posted her first pic of the back of his head for his Bday that was taken there, as a sort of apology.

Everybody returns to Van, Cole and PP fly up separately, again, indicating all was probably not nearly so great as we thought. Though upon returning, the cast are out a lot and SH seem to get along well.

July/August - all seems, actually, quite great for the bulk of the summer, SH are very romantic at Comicon, we get snippets of them together at various parties and events, etc....ONLY indication of shit being amiss is actually Cole with a bit of payback when Crotchi either crashes or is invited along by PP for an afternoon.....and Cole puts up with her bullshit for once, utterly enraging PP, who is also noted for this by innumerable fans they encounter throughout.

Fake Tits begins filming/also stalking Cole, He shuts it down and, to her credit, while she’s an asshole, she does manage to take “no” for an answer.

Sept/Oct - Actually, all’s still progressing quite nicely (or seemingly so). Cole is endlessly romantic.....and then......Hart. And PP develops a big assed inappropriate “crush” on her sleazy new friend. Cole attempts to make the best of it, but it’s apparent there’s a LOT of problems headed into November.

Cole visits NYC to do press, in Duan’s vlog/interview, he again seems quite sad, I just thought it was him being mopey at the time, but likely they were again on the outs a bit/PP’s “friendship” was probably also worrisome....

Nov - Stinkbrosgiving and Cole seems beyond miserable....and NOT just because of KokeJ’s utter disgustingness. By the time he returns to filming, he looks, literally, ill in those episodes. PP even makes a point of meeting up with FB for lunch upon her return to NYC and seems to ostracize Cole.....TBFit seemed like they reconciled (”dancing in my seat” as the flight landed and being so late to taping.....but for all we know? That was about FB....doubtful, but there are definitely issues).

Dec - shit’s been patched up again headed into the holidays. PP seemingly is getting better at balancing, etc.....Cole takes her to Hawaii, where they do have a glorious time....Upon returning, he’s happy and supremely relaxed. She takes to spiraling all over again....(yes, this is now January)

And.....TBC.....Also feel free to add/LMK if I missed anything thus far!

The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection, by Alexander McCall Smith

Book 13 in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency

The stakes are a bit higher for Mma Ramotswe and company in this book. The younger apprentice at the garage is arrested for being a party in the selling of stolen cars and the matron of the orphan farm is dismissed from her post. Fanwell is frightened and swears he's innocent, Mma Potokwani is devastated. Mma Ramotswe is determined to help her friends. Helping out with this is Mr. Clovis Anderson, a detective from Indiana visiting Botswana. He is something of a super star to Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi because he wrote The Principles of Private Detection, the book Mma Ramotswe learned her trade from and based her business on. Both ladies can quote the book chapter and verse.

Meanwhile, newlyweds Mma Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuiti are building their house. Mma Makutsi is getting used to having the money for the comforts that she couldn't afford before, but is distrustful of the builder that was hired to construct their home. Husband and wife end up having something of a mystery on their hands.

I sort of groaned when I read that we meet Clovis Anderson in this one. I expected it to be a story of "Never meet your heroes" where the man our detectives hold in such high regard is a jackass.

Instead, the opposite is true. Mr. Anderson just happened upon the detective agency and out of professional curiosity, stopped in. He is utterly shocked to find that he is so well known and his book so loved by Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi. He is very kind and down to earth and happily helps the two with Mma Potokwani's plight. I really liked this character and would be happy to see him pop up again.

Mma Potokwani's problem arrives in the form of a lovely blessing. This lady who does everything she can to make sure the orphans in her charge are well taken care of and feel loved is pushed out of her post when a member of the orphan farm's board and she disagree about what to do with a large sum of money given to the farm.

Mma Potokwani can be downright pushy and will beg, borrow, and manipulate to make sure the orphans get everything they need and are as happy as possible. To dismiss her from this calling made no sense to anyone, least of all our detectives. The same day that this happens, Fanwell is arrested. After a brief period of shock, the ladies and the Speedy Motors crew get to work.

Fanwell's trial sort of ends up being a comedy with Charlie finding a hilarious, if morally gray way of helping his friend.

The orphan farm and Mma Makutsi 's mystery takes a little longer and a little more patience, but they wrapped up in awesome ways.

I think my very favorite part was when Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi went on a road trip and started speculating how much tea they drink in a week. It's little sideboards like that that make these books feel like the definition of cozy.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday. (Although this could very easily have been Too Much Misinformation Tuesday!)

Park City, Utah has a city park. Address: City Park, Park City.

Pumbaa was the first ever character to fart in a Disney movie.

Bob Marley was buried with his Les Paul guitar, a bible and some weed.

The deadliest female serial killer in US history, Clementine Barnabet, had murdered 35 people with an axe by the time she was 18 years old.

The average human attention span has almost halved since 2000 decreasing from 20 seconds to 12 in 2018. Sorry … what’s your name again?

A study measuring the effects of music found that cows produce more milk when listening to soothing music. They produce the most when listening to REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’.

Knowing someone who works at the company you want a job at increases your chances of getting an interview and makes you 40% more likely to get the job over someone with a fancier CV than you.

Your odds of being killed by a meteor are 1 in 1,600,000. What about the odds of a 4 billion year old meteor hitting the home of a French family with the last name Commette? Because that's what happened in 2011.

A Japanese soldier was stranded on an island for 30 years after the Second World War had ended. He continued to stand his post in uniform until his commander came to the island to personally dismiss him in 1974.

The Tiffany Problem occurs when a historical novel or film contains details that seem too modern to be true but are in fact correct for the time. The name Tiffany is one such example, it dates back to at least the 12th century.

British banking giant HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels and violating a host of important banking laws but, somehow, there were no criminal charges and no one went to jail.

Sadio Mané, the Senegalese football player is transforming Bambaly, his native Senegal village; he built a hospital, a school and he is paying 80 euros a month to all its citizens. Recently he installed a 4G network and built a postal office.

There are debt collectors in Spain that hire people to find you when you're out in public and just stand and stare at you. And they just stare, in an attempt to shame you into paying your debt. They can be dressed as funeral directors, clowns, bull fighters, bears, anything!

Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather books, who’d also adapted them to film, had no idea what he was doing as he’d never written a screenplay before. After winning two Oscars, he decided to buy a book on screenwriting to learn how. In the first chapter, it said “Study ‘The Godfather’.”

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Who can I use to book family holidays in Africa?

Who can I use to book family holidays in Africa?

As we’ve spent quite a lot of time in Africa with the kids, its a question I get asked a lot. I also see this question pop up time and time again in groups I’m in. Who should we use to book a trip to Botswana, who for Tanzania, who have you used, have your friends got any recommendations. So whilst this post should not be a guarantee of excellence, and should not be taken as confirmation that we…

Tl;dr: A Canadian company is planning on a project in Africa that will take up 1/6 of the world's remaining carbon budget. This is an issue of neocolonialism and environmental racism.

[Image description: Infographic slideshow from Fridays For Future.

1: Recon Africa: Stop drilling in the Kavango Basin, a project that will take up one sixth of the world’s remaining carbon budget.

Global Day of Action: June 4th

#SaveOkavangoDelta #KavangoAlive

2: Reconnaissance Africa (ReconAfrica) is a Canadian-registered oil and gas company which has begun drilling for oil in the Kavango Basin, located and Northeast Namibia and Northwest Botswana.

Their license areas cover a total of 34,325 square kilometers (8.5 million acres).

Including parts of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin (traverses through Angola, Botswana, and Namibia) and along the Okavango River, which feeds into the Okavango Delta.

3: The Okavango Delta is a large inland delta located in Botswana and is a world-renowned hotspot of biodiversity.

It is designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a Wetland of International Importance by the The Ramsar Convention.

It is home to many endangered species, including the African wild dog and the last remaining population of African savanna elephants.

4: ReconAfrica's license areas are home to around 200,000 people.

The company has failed to properly inform and consult with the local people and receive the free, prior and informed consent of the Indigneous San communities.

Several local inhabitants have stated that they were not consulted or even informed that drilling would be taking place.

The few consultations that have occurred happened too late in the process, and were inaccessible to many members of the community.

5: Based on ReconAfrica’s own projections of 120 billion barrels of oil equivalent, a carbon gigabomb of up to 51.6 Gigatonnes of CO2 will be emitted.

The equivalent of one sixth of the world's remaining carbon budget.

6: Activists across the world are calling out and pressurizing Recon Africa along with the Canadian government to stop this catastrophic project.

This is a classic example of neocolonialism, corporate ecocide, environmental racism, and the abuse of power for profit yet again from countries in the Global North. This must be stopped!

Stand in solidarity with frontline activists and take action!

Oh Lookity...

Not only did her cowardly ass block me, she blocked me right after reblogging, gish galloping/deflecting/moving the goal posts AND credited me a rather significant amount of power in general:

Woowww....I’M responsible for tumblr dissatisfaction? I am omnipotent, huh?? Also, it would be “dumb ass”, not one word. Again, you really need to pay moar attention in school....

I said he was doing BAV....the triangle, etc....I then demonstrated how much evidence there is supporting that. I now don’t understand remotely what you’re saying or asking here....and I’ve already very fully address this. Many, many, manyyyyy times.

Umm....taxes???? Whaaa????

Plus, again, just so we’re clear:

RAS was not going to originally do jizzy, actually going way back...the show wasn’t gonna be a mystery, etc....

SH were fucking starting in the pilot in March (note: no jizzy!!!), with PP possibly sucking off some other dudes in the process....Cole went to do a photo assignment in Botswana, returned to NYC. Upfronts were in NYC in May, he reconnected with PP and moved back to LA (for her) the next day.

They were dating casually, off and on, all summer. At Comicon, in JULY, SH were very much fucking AND RAS (and everybody else) were very much pimping the BAV triangle.

Again, they did not return to Vancouver and resume filming until September. There is no hint of jizzy before sorta ep 4----and even that’s a lot of fandumb pushing it. We really don’t have a huge indication (other than the show opting to leak it) until ep 5 (when they kiss).....even ep 4, is very little jizzy, them separately....

So....as to “how would RAS know they were gonna date?” Umm.....they already were, like I keep telling you, endlessly. I’m really sorry math, timelines and dates continue to so desperately challenge your pea brain.

Seriously, dude, this has been pointed out to you repeatedly. Not sure why you can’t grasp this. Or why I’m evollll for stating something that’s not just true, but supported by full, concrete facts?

My “proof” is them discussing it, repeatedly, at Comicon....And yes, it was originally slated to moar closely mimic RAS’s own reboot....

Ummm.....the cast doesn’t “live in different locations” during hiatus. Everybody has a house in Hollywood/LA.....some of them are literally walking distance.

And no, actually, not much they haven’t....my entire point. If they were such besties, it would be, again, way moar than a single, annual publicity pose....

❤️ How to predict WHERE you're going to meet your future spouse through Astrology ❤️

hi guys! in today's post I'm going to show you how to find out where you'll meet your future spouse through your birth chart. this technique was discovered by the astrologer Kapiel Raaj, and it's based on vedic astrology. hence, you're going to need your sidereal birth chart to calculate this. if you already know how to do that, you can skip this part.

✨

first of all, go to astro.com > horoscope and then click on extended chart selection.

add your birth data by clicking on the 'add a new person' button. it's necessary to have your accurate birth time for this, as it's based on your ascendant.

then scroll down and click on options for zodiac and houses. choose the whole signs house system and then click on sidereal. after that, choose 'hindu/lahiri' on the ayanamsha button.

after you've calculated your chart, it will be something like this (this is angelina jolie's sidereal birth chart):

to calculate where you're going to meet your spouse, we need to first of all take a look at the 7th house lord, which is the planet that rules your 7th house. in this chart it is saturn, as she has capricorn in her 7th house. now that you know what is your 7th house lord, look at where it's placed in your chart. also, keep in mind that since this is a sidereal technique, we're only going to take in consideration traditional rulers, therefore aquarius is ruled by uranus, pisces by jupiter and scorpio by mars. angelina has her saturn in gemini in the 12th house. the opposite sign indicates the circumstances or directly the place where you're going to meet your spouse. in this chart, it is sagittarius. keep reading for an explanation of each sign!!

I just haad to say thank you for the free serotonin that you have provided me with through the last artist sukuna post

it's just... ✨beautifull✨ we are slowly building up this au

BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE HIM GETTING MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF ATTENTION WERE HE'S KIND OF POUTING

and then there need to be a project done in which you have the option to work in groups and NO MATTER WHAT this proud cherry haired idiot WILL work alone but geto won't he came to y/n and they really need to work in a group if they want to get this done so of course y/n is happily gonna agree to the offer of geto to work together they do be viben after all which ultimately leads to the fact that y/n is gonna give sukuna even less attention (it probably doesn't even get on his nerves that much that y/n works with geto its just the lack of attention and ultimately time spending with you that result from it)

ah i am sorry I was rambling again😂

anyways hope you have a nice day and don't stress yourself too much with answering always happy to see you post❤️

babe let me just say ur brain is massive and i thank u from the bottom of my heart – anyway here’s the original post for everyone about to embark on this godforsaken journey with art student sukuna and our new friend pretentious fuck geto suguru 

if you thought you were pitiful at drawing, your sculptural skills are on another level of true and utter shit. you cannot, for the life of you, create things out of clay. you despise carving anything into wood. your pottery faithfully collapses on you whenever you try. you hate working with glass. you would have dropped the class, honest, if you didn’t desperately need it in order to fulfill your major requirements and graduate on time. 

all in all, it’s an awful class created solely to tank your gpa – you don’t understand what you’re doing, you don’t understand what anything is supposed to look like, and you sure as fuck don’t understand how anyone else seems to have their shit together all the time. when you glance around the room, no one, not even the famous ryomen sukuna, has trouble making their materials turn into something recognizable.

(and, in true sukuna fashion, he loves to make sure you know how fucking untalented you are.) 

so when anthropology-and-ceramics king geto suguru asks if you want to be partners for the next big art project, you agree without a second thought. you’ve been talking to him recently, small talk before class, and for all his pretentious faults, you think he’s delightfully hot as fuck with a smooth voice to match. he wears those crisp, expensive button-downs that he bought at overpriced local craft markets. he always smells like cedar and eucalyptus; he brings a different tote bag to every class, his favorite being one he got as a gift for subscribing to the new yorker. he shops organic only and throws around the words “fair trade” and “bourgeoisie” and “means of production” with the ease that sukuna throws around the words “fuck” and “shit.” 

you think geto is fascinating. and maybe he talks down to you when explaining his anthropology knowledge, he absolutely does, but when he gazes at you with those warm eyes and offers to help you learn how to sculpt and raise your grades, you can’t help but agree with a pair of big pathetic doe eyes. 

why wouldn’t you? you’re just here for a good time, after all.

so when you giggle as geto places his sinfully smooth, manicured hands over yours while teaching you how to use the pottery wheel, you don’t think much of it. you think he’s cute and warm. you’d be a fool to notice the dark annoyance radiating from the other corner of the room.

ryomen sukuna always works alone. but what he didn’t count on was that you wouldn’t be working alone with him. 

it’s not that you’re working with geto, he swears. it’s that you’re not working with him. his ears feel strangely empty without your argumentative quips, without the way you tell him he’s infuriating and annoying every time he tells you something lewd just to fluster you. it’s strangely empty without you both arguing about the difference between great artists and sell-outs – were you here, in his corner of the room, maybe sukuna would have tried to tell you michelangelo was a loser just to see what you would say. 

but you’re not with him. you’re listening to geto tell you about the time he went to study abroad in germany and how he took a trip to morocco where he tried some amazing food you’ve never heard of. he’s telling you about the time he helped make tampons in botswana after his senior year of high school and all of the other deliciously precocious things he has done for the sake of human rights and anti-capitalism. 

(you’re killing the environment, you know, geto often admonishes you when you stumble into class with your cup of coffee. that cup is going to end up in a landfill. he always taks a sip from his hydroflask for emphasis. it’s sleek and black with an oxfam sticker on it.

and sure, you know that your cup is going to become trash. geto doesn’t have to be an annoying fuck and tell you when it’s only eleven in the morning and he drove a literal moped to campus. but still, with that silky man-bun, everything he does is okay.) 

but understand that sukuna doesn’t hate geto. sukuna craves attention, and he absolutely cannot stand being ignored. he’ll pout without realizing it, pursing his lips and wondering what kind of circus act he needs to perform to win back your presence. should he get another tattoo? cuss out the professor? offer to fuck you senseless in the third-floor bathroom? he’s not sure – he’s never not been seen before. ryomen sukuna doesn’t know what it’s like to come in second. 

so he intercepts you after class; in a manner that is both sukuna-and-not-sukuna, he’ll casually throw one of his heavy arms over your shoulders, subtly pulling you away from geto’s aura, wrapping you in his scent of earth and leather and sex appeal. “come on, puppy,” he says, sultry and annoying and condescending all wrapped in one, tapping his ring-clad fingers against your arm. “you’re supposed to help me write my paper, aren’t you?” it’s not a question, it’s a demand, one you know deep down that you would rather die than shy away from. 

you might not like sukuna, you tell yourself, but there’s something about him, the way he talks and moves and exists in the world, that makes you unable to shy away. there’s something about him that always makes you want more without you quite knowing why. 

(he kissed you, once. sometimes you wonder if you would like it to happen again.) 

and you’re still nestled under sukuna’s arm, trapped in his orbit and following him to his favorite empty classrooms, when geto calls back to you, wondering if you’re still interested in going to the avant-garde poetry reading with him tomorrow night. 

he’s going to present a poem he wrote on the terrors inflicted on south america by the united states, geto had explained earlier when his hands were on yours. it was going to be some real, hard-hitting poetry, none of that “rupi kaur bullshit.” he thought it might enlighten you to join him, perhaps in more ways than one.

you pretend you don’t notice the way sukuna’s arm tightens around your shoulders when you tell geto with a flirtatious smile that you can’t wait.
