#how to practice

Short-term memory (STM) provide retention of limited amounts of material for a limited time period. Whenever we learn something, the information will occupy space. If we keep on overloading our brain with more information, the data will be dumped to be replaced by new one. => We want to make sure that the majority of what we learned get sent to the long-term memory. Some effective methods to commit the information you learn to your LTM:

Deconstruction;

Recall;

Self critique;

Quality sleep;

Spaced repetition.

For example, in practicing art, don't just copy what you draw (from a reference), it will only go into your STM and get overwritten later. Consciously deconstruct what you see, truly put in the effort, by learning the fundamentals, understanding how things actually work (for ex, try to figure out the perspective of the head, how the head would be in geometric simple shapes, how the skull would look like, the muscles, their names, their functions, etc.). Then, repeat the same drawing without looking at the reference, to your best ability to remember what you just drew. This is called recall. You will then do some self critique by comparing differences between your drawings and the reference, to figure out what you forgot or did wrong. Repeating/applying what you learned over and over again throughout the month and year, will reinforce the information, help you better understand it, and make it last.

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bootlickers, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

Hey, if you did work over the past few weeks to try to stop the GOP's obscene and murderous budget: thanks. It ended up without the AI regulation ban, the trans healthcare ban, the western lands sell off, and without its stupid name being official.

It passing was a major loss for everyone in this country including the very wealthy and other people who believe they will be able to be better off from it.

But also, it passing was not as bad as it could have been and it took the ongoing effort of huge amounts of people to even make that a possibility, so if you were part of that, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

Looking forward to today's episode lol

zayne edges you the first time he tastes you.

it's not on purpose. it’s just, in all his years in the OR, he's never heard noises quite like this.

the swishes of his tongue around your dripping wet heat. the pop of his mouth teasing your puffy clit. the sultry, silken sighs that escape your lips. 

they’re lewd. all-consuming.

and to be the cause of them…

it makes him a little bit shy.

he can’t keep his pace like this. each time you near your peak, the sounds crescendo, and he’s too flustered to take you over the edge. his movements slow, his licks slacken, and he’s a mumbling mess between your thighs—whispering his disbelief, his luck, his gratitude. he starts and stops and starts again, prolonging your pleasure without even meaning to. 

by the time you start begging, he thinks he’s hurt you somehow—until your fingers tangle in his hair and hold him close to your core, preventing any more pauses. he adds another sound to the mix—a sheepish apology against your slick skin—before finally finishing what he started, only pulling away when your release coats his rosy pink cheeks.

I think Bruce's anti-murder philosophy would translate better if it wasn't portrayed by writers who obviously want him to kill someone lol

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in
