do you ever think about how cool it would be to be crazy rich bc you could scroll through Tumblr and just slam dunk all these go fund mes to 100% without a second thought? you get a car, and you get a power wheelchair, and you get rent, and you get surgery for your dog, and and and and
too bad its only poor people who care about others and have empathy
When people say things like “gender is a prison everyone is in” sometimes I think it’s forgotten that prisons have guards. This isn’t even just about men saying they suffer too, but about the way men and women enforce Correct gender as a form of violence
If the benefits of conformance to a system outweigh the risk of disobedience… people will enforce it because it materially benefits them to do so
little study tip from ur local tired and trying student
i had to study and write essays at night A LOT and came up with a little tip you might want to try: candles. I light a candle when i start studying and blow it when im done.
Cons:
– its fire. next to paper. pay attention
Pros:
– you feel less alone
– smells good
– when you need to focus you can look at it instead of ur phone (really helps)
– makes you feel like some old time Scholar studying at the light of a candle
– can help mesuring time. for example: i used small candles that are supposed to last 4hrs when writing an essay that i was supposed to write in max. 4hrs during finals
– if u hear some noise in ur apartment u can take it with you like some gothic novel protagonist
– when ur done it smells like a birthday party and really, finishing writing an essay at 2AM feels like something u should celebrate
thanks for coming to my ted talk and good luck fellow students
