one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become
The face of a lazy motherfcuker.
Honestly, good for this reporter. It's probably the first time he's been asked a legit question regarding this train of thought in years.
Trump’s pardons are beyond offensive.
That includes you, police person and Blue Lives Matters person. You should be alarmed. It shows you don't give a shit about your own people.
January so far 🌹reblog is ok, don’t repost/ use
Hey, american trans and non-binary people. Just a Canadian Cis scientist here but I see you, I know you're real, and I believe you deserve better than this. 4 years will pass. People will keep fighting for your rights to exist safely. It's worth sticking around for. The world is a better place with you in it. I promise.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

TikTok is back -- for now
Updates about the TikTok ban/relight … a lot of people thought that TikTokers were being dramatic. We were forced to say “unalive” “pew-pew” and “grape”… now it’s a community violation to say that Meta sucks.
I made a video breaking zero laws and violating zero terms of service stating that refusing to let Luigi Mangione use the restroom until he wet himself and then photographing him in his soiled clothing is a form of torture and it’s especially heinous because he hasn’t even been found guilty and TikTok dirty deleted I fucking hate that platform
A few weeks back on tumblr and suddenly I want to adopt a cat and pet a cow 🥺
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Don't forget, Trump was the one who tried to ban TikTok in his first term, and Republicans voted to pass the TikTok Ban Bill.
He didn't save it. He just flipflopped when he realised it made him look bad with young people.
And now TikTok are sucking up to Trump and effectively acting as an ad section for him.
Don't fall for it.
There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.
For some reason the versions of this where he gives two salutes is being deleted and replaced with a version with a quick cut to a cheering crowd so I’ll just share it here 🙃

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."
This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.
He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.
He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.
He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.
Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.
not my usual stuff but remember:
if/when tiktok comes back,
it is not the same place. it is not the same. and most importantly do NOT under any circumstances forget that The Tangerine was the one who wanted it banned in the first place and he is no savior, he, like everyone else in government, is doing what benefits him.
pick up the patterns, look at history.
oh my god...
so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.
the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.
THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.
I'm desesperately trying to find a hobby for this new year because I'm seriously depressed and way too anxious about my daily life and work. But I'm good at nothing??
I used to come on Internet to connect with people when I couldn't in real life. It was so easy to make up small communities and just randomly talk with people around the world. But now it's all IG/youtube/tiktok. And TikTok is being censored in the US (which is mad). YouTube is feeling very boring and it's very passive when you just watch and don't create anything. IG is becoming just ads ads ads.
And, anyway. I never thought I'd feel lonely on the Internet
Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.
Occasionally we're afraid of those eyes who don't even have the courage to confront themselves
Can Biden or Harris speak to this?
Seems calling Nazis a Nazi is unpopular with the journalists and headline writers.
Make them quote you. Call them Nazis.
Fascism is here. Start punching Nazis.
I'm desperately looking for booktubers (or just youtubers) that are over 30ish and don't speak about YA/Fantasy/Romance 😭
