More tips for avoiding misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda:
Does the post have a source? If not, is it discussing a first-hand experience? Is the person an authority on the subject? Experts and first-hand experiences can be wrong and/or intentionally spread lies too, so don’t just blindly trust them. If you have no way to verify if it’s correct, do NOT reblog it.
Read the fucking source. I know this seems like an obvious one but it’s one I’m guilty of not doing from time to time. If you haven’t read the article, do NOT reblog the post.
Do you have enough background knowledge to actually determine if the source is telling the truth, if it is a reliable source, if it was AI generated, etc? Sometimes you just don’t know enough to make these judgements. This is where you either start educating yourself on a topic, or you reach out to someone you trust and ask them. You can’t possibly know everything by yourself, that’s ok.

We need more teachers to shed light on the trends they’re seeing in young girls, good or bad.
A teacher on here said that in her school, girls as young as eleven are now using anti-aging skincare products. Another teacher said half the girls in her class now identify as trans. And I’ve seen multiple teachers talk about how girls are outperforming boys across the board, to a ridiculous degree.
I’m very curious to know what else teachers are noticing.

So I’m minoring in science education, and in one of my education seminars, we’re discussing the Gen Alpha literacy crisis. In the past few years teen literacy has been declining, and it’s now estimated that about 1/4 of teenagers cannot interpret basic texts. I just finished a middle school teaching internship, and the majority of my students weren’t reading at grade level.
While researching this issue, I've come across so many Millennial parents talking about how their kids don't read at all and asking how they could get their children to read more. "My child hasn't read a book in years, what do I do?!"
They talked about everything from private tutors to homeschooling, taking away devices, talking about how schools are garbage... And I feel like they're ignoring the most obvious answer, which is that they themselves don't read!
How do you expect your child to read books when you yourself don't read any? You need to model the behavior you want for your child. Your child doesn't think reading is important because they've never seen you read. And so, when you tell them reading is important, they just don't believe you.

Tom Nicholas just posted a video that summarizes like half a semester of business school and honestly teaches it better than a lot of my professors, while also ensuring the viewer is aware of the moral and ethical failings of free trade in the name of comparative advantage and global efficiency.

(Yes, for the unaware: I have a bachelor's degree in international business. I am also one of those people who graduated with a distinct distaste for much of the business world, related directly to the 'taking advantage of cheap labor and bullying less powerful entities is good, actually' model of economic theory that a lot of my classes pushed.)

How I Earned a 769 Credit Score at 23
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I believe that understanding the ins and outs of managing our finances is essential in our quest for leveling up in life. After all, what good is achieving our dreams if we're not equipped with the knowledge and tools to sustain and grow our success? So how did I do it?
1. Living with parents while in school
While I had the advantage of fewer bills to pay, I still encountered challenges in managing my finances effectively. In the past, I used to blow money like it was nothing, with little to no savings to show for it. However, recognizing the opportunity to change my habits, I embarked on a journey of financial education, starting with reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Over the course of 6-12 months, I diligently saved and invested most of my income, laying the groundwork for my financial future. This disciplined approach not only helped me build a healthy relationship with money but also demonstrated to the bank that I was responsible and capable of handling a credit card. It was only after this period of financial growth and learning that I felt confident enough to apply for my first credit card. After being rejected 3 times prior!
2. Become Delusional as F**k
The biggest change in my relationship with money came when I realized that it's not inherently bad; I have a good relationship with money, and money works for me—this is my reality i lived in even during the times I was broke. I remained delusional in my belief that financialsuccess for me was attainable, and remarkably, it worked. This perspective empowered me to view money as a tool for creating wealth rather than something to fear. I learned to use a credit card to work for me, not as a slave to debt, and discovered how to leverage debt to make more money. This shift in mindset helped me overcome financial fears and embrace opportunities for growth.

How to make a credit card work for you
Keep Low Credit Utilization:
Aim to keep your credit card balances low relative to your credit limits. This utilization ratio should ideally be below 30%, with lower percentages being even better. High credit utilization can negatively impact your credit score.
Pay On Time, DONT MISS PAYMENTS
Consistently paying your credit card bills on time is crucial for maintaining a high credit score. Late payments can significantly damage your credit score and stay on your credit report for years.
Keep Old Accounts Open:
The length of your credit history is an essential factor in determining your credit score. Keeping old credit card accounts open, even if you're not actively using them, can help lengthen your credit history and improve your score.
Monitor Your Credit Report:
Reviewing your credit report allows you to identify any errors or inaccuracies that could be negatively impacting your score. You're entitled to a free credit report from each of the major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—once every 12 months.
Avoid Closing Old Accounts
Closing old credit card accounts can shorten your credit history and reduce your overall available credit, both of which can lower your credit score. Unless the account carries high fees or you're unable to manage it responsibly, consider keeping it open.
Conclusion:
Through disciplined financial habits and strategic planning, I achieved and maintained a high credit score. This journey is only the beginning of my commitment to financial responsibility.

Those who wish to learn their Indigenous languages and earn a degree can do so without leaving northern Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan government announced more than $100,000 in funding for the  First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) to deliver new programs that will allow students to study for a bachelor of Indigenous education in their home community.
According to a release, the financial contribution will fund the new Dene Teacher Education Program (DTEP) in Hatchet Lake Denesuline Nation and the Cree Teacher Education Program (CTEP) in Waterhen Lake First Nation.
“Creating more opportunities for Indigenous students to access post-secondary education, particularly those living in rural and remote areas, is a priority for the Government of Saskatchewan,” said Advanced Education Minister Gordon Wyant in a media release. [...]

Palestine Readings And Resources
The following is a list of resources that includes books, articles, websites, and nonprofits to help you get educated and/or involved in action pertaining to the Palestinian genocide. I originally compiled this list for personal purposes, to use in my own local communities. Since it's been an unbelievably grim and never-ending shit-show on the blog for the past 5 weeks, I now feel compelled to make this list public on here in the hopes that it might benefit someone.
Please be aware:
This post is NOT an invitation for you to treat me as your token Palestinian friend, personal educator, or woke police taskforce. Grow your own moral spine.
This list was originally compiled shortly after October 7. It has, as of the writing of this post, been 163 days. A LOT has happened since. Therefore, this list is not exhaustive.
New ways to get educated and involve have since materialized, and, indeed, new ones materialize everyday. Do your own due diligence and decide what shape your engagement is going to take.
I am using my own specific expertise and skill sets as a scholar and educator of Literature and Philosophy to populate this list. Therefore, naturally, a lot of what you will find on here is geared towards educating and raising awareness about the historical, socio-political, philosophical and cultural underpinnings of this genocide and how its reflected in art.
If you are looking for more practical resources, find activist spaces in your local communities.
This List Contains
Non-fiction books about Palestine
Fiction novels by palestinian authors
educational web resources
Documentary
organizations to donate to
BOOKS
A. non-fiction
Edward Said, The Question of Palestine (written by a Palestinian-American literary critic and critical theorist)

God I am hungover. Ended up drinking a bottle of Prosecco and five shots of vodka yesterday, and I was really ill overnight- however it worked to my advantage cause I weighed in today at 70.8! I’m so close to the 60s I can (figuratively) taste it! But god am I hungry, someone brought in a full buffet today- doughnuts, tiny cakes, maltesers, fruits, sweets… it was PAINFUL to not eat any of it, I was so desperate for it. But I need to stay focussed, I will hit the 60s by the end of this week.
My boyfriend was going through my Spotify yesterday and found loads of ana playlists and I had to think quick to give a reason for it- I’m hoping he believed me and won’t be suspicious.
