My favourite bits of Tumblr slang are the ones that sound like they'd just be Starfire from Teen Titans' actual, legit word for that thing.

how to stay motivated long-term
trust, me i know that long-term motivation and consistency is hard. long-term motivation might be difficult to maintain, but there are effective techniques to help you stay focused and determined. whether you're seeking personal ambitions, academic achievements, or professional success, here are some strategies to help encourage motivation:
understand the reason behind your goal
☆ does your goal contribute to personal growth or meaningful relationships?
☆ how does your goal impact others?
☆ is your goal meaningful to you?
if your goal lacks meaning, it may be hard to maintain motivation.
positive and negative motivation
motivation can come from different places
☆ positive motivation: the desire to experience pleasure
☆ negative motivation: the desire to avoid something (an outcome)
both types of motivation have their place, so learn to recognise what type fits in where. (post on this coming soon)
set up systems
use your initial motivation to set up structures:
☆ create routines, systems and habits that help you towards your goal even when your motivation fluctuates
☆ when your emotions wane, rely on these systems and disciplines to maintain momentum
break down goals
☆ tackle one goal at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed
☆ set achievable milestones and celebrate each step forward
☆ keep the momentum going by focusing on manageable tasks
validate good work
☆ give yourself a little reward, or thank yourself, for completing hard tasks
☆ this reinforces motivation and encourages effort
remember--motivation isn't in a constant state, it ebbs and flows. these small tips will help to stay motivated. i'm going to provide more information in upcoming posts, and i will link them here once they are published.
luck on your journey ❤️

Day 4 of 100 Days of Productivity
I hate revising/revisiting a topic. I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly want to be learning something new. Going back to a topic feels so tedious. I'll try to get better at this skill.

When Mob exorcises Dimple for the first time, he taps his fingers on Dimple's forehead and says: 僕は最低だ。That gets translated "I'm terrible" or "I'm the worst" in English.
Those are pretty vague words in English, though, so I paused the show to look it up. (took me a hot minute to find the listing for the word 最低, too, which means I'll probably remember it forever, but that's not relevant, lol.) SO. Mob says "boku wa saitei da"— I am 最低. Turns out that "the worst" is a pretty great translation, because it captures both the aspect of "least (lowest in some category)" and "most repugnant" from the original word.
This is awful. Obviously. No 14-year-old should be calling himself that in full honesty. But that's not the point I want to get across:
The exact moment that Mob uses the word 最低 for himself is worth noting! Dimple has just jumped at Mob for a killing blow, proclaiming that in the battle between them, lived battle experience will determine who's the winner. Dimple is judging himself and Mob against each other on a scale of battle skill. The only variable he cares about is power. And when Mob wipes him out, clearly Mob is the winner of their contest. From Dimple's perspective, Mob should be saying he's 最高—saikou, the antonym of saitei, meaning "the best/highest". But Mob is judging himself by a completely different variable—the ability to control himself. That's why he calls himself the worst. It's a moment of self-loathing, yes, but not out of nowhere—he's correcting Dimple and re-contextualizing their fight as a failure on his part, not a victory for anyone.

The only thing that outranks lesboy is the acronym BDSM because you can’t outdo BDSM it’s too fucking good
Look at this. Nothing about the actual practice could be as appealing as the raw efficiency in this image.
