25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025

Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality

Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway

Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups

Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay

Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward

Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient

Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative

Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!

Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community

DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!

Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?

Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.

Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability

Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough

Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing

Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work

Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market

Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question

Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them

Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area

Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...

Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable

Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact

Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive

Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people

New setup for a new academic challenge! (I'm starting a PhD)

[i-cant-stop-buying-liners]

(3/30) my ideal study plan for the weekend would be to finish the biggest chunk of my psych assignment and my extra french delf B2 tasks before 4pm on Saturday so I could enjoy the rest of the evening watching the fake jury show in bed with my cat or bf or both :’)

100 Days of Productivity [Day: 41] || 100 Jours de Productivité [Jour: 41]

is Friday brain a thing? if it's not I feel like it should be. this week has probably been my most productive week so far between my freelance work & classes that it's a little difficult to take in at the moment. I'm sure I'll be able to appreciate it later.

currently listening // honest by eli.

Cette semaine a probablement été ma semaine la plus productive jusqu'à présent, entre mon travail en freelance et mes cours, c'est un peu difficile à assimiler pour l'instant. Je suis sûre que je saurai l'apprécier plus tard.

Things are getting a little overwhelming but we’ll power through 👍🏼

[i-cant-stop-buying-liners]

mindless things i can do that AREN'T using my phone

to be used when i'm on a short study break or supposed to be getting on with my day...any time of inappropriate phone usage / times when i wish i didn't automatically reach for my phone 😤

Run the washing machine

Run the dryer

Sort / fold some clothes

Vacuum a room

Clean 1 thing in the bathroom

Organize 1 thing in closet

Yoga

Bike

Walk

Drink water

Refill water bottle

Get some sunlight 🌱🌞

Also these aren't exactly mindless anymore but if I want, it's kind of a low-effort to shift my brain's way of thinking:

Work on world map puzzle

Annotate sheet music (I may need to use my phone to listen to the music as I'm annotating but I'm not looking at the screen)

Day 42 • 100 Days of Productivity

i fucked up my shoulder/upper back this morning. i stretched and somehow pinched a nerve right along my spine so i can’t bend over or move the right side of my body without pain. i still managed to work for 5 hours but i had to stop before i got everything done because i’m just in so much pain. but i DID get a lot of work done and it’s a good start to the week, i just gotta work more than i wanted to tomorrow. anyway! i have a math test this week and i’m kinda nervous even tho it’s open note. i also have my history final on friday and i’m low key nervous even though i literally know the exact questions i’ll be tested on. i think just calling it a final is scaring me, i know i’m prepared! i’ll kick ass!

Hello Kitty Quiz | #3Days1Project

Friday 16th June 2023

I completely forgot to post yesterday but I have my project ready!

I worked on a Python project and made it Hello Kitty themed, as I should! Got all her questions based on her Wiki page.

I struggled a bit with how I wanted the questions and answers to be printed out because I used lists and dictionaries and the way I saw it in my head logically I couldn't figure out how to implement it in the actual code but I got it done!

The downside is that I couldn't figure out how to assign the multiple choices to a letter for the user to type instead of typing the whole answer out - I'll probably work on that in the future!

Anyhoo, here she is:

The links:

Here are the resources I used:

Thank you for reading, have a nice day/night, and happy programming! 😌💻💗

My boyfriend had some phd work in Florence, so I came to visit him and I am absolutely delighted about the €2 Caffè lattes here !!! Exactly what I need to get through my last psychology assignment ♡

[i-cant-stop-buying-liners]

Welcome to another one of my studyblr challenges! I’ve gained a lot more followers on this channel since the last time I did one of these so I wanted to say hello and I like to give people the opportunity to connect through events like these. Looking back at my last challenge there were actually a lot of very awesome people participating and I’m hoping this time around will be the same! Below you’ll find some rules, dates for when it begins and ends and the questions for each day of the challenge. These are usually pretty laidback so feel free to diverge from whatever rules I put out there. Can’t wait to meet new people and hear about what is going on in everyone’s lives!

Just finished my last first day of university. I only had one class today since the other prof didn’t show up. All good though! All good. My desk is a mess right now, and I intend on cleaning it up after I eat late lunch. There’s much to learn and experience up ahead!! Honestly online classes felt anti-climatic at first but after…a year or so of doing this it honestly doesn’t feel that way anymore? Like it’s it’s own kind of exciting now. I guess that’s what it means to adapt and overcome? :)

So today I mostly fooled around in Codecademy with writing my own little programs and such, and am honestly having so much fun with it. It's very simple stuff at this point, like the GPA calculator that determines whether or not you'd make the honor roll, lol. I also did another lesson as well, and learned more about conditional statements and variables. I'm very excited for school to start -- the summer has flown by so quickly, I can't believe I only have about a week and a half left before we all move back to campus.

I also applied for one of my first internships next summer, at Microsoft, which is insane. The imposter syndrome is gonna hit in a few days but the internship itself looks really nice and will help me to feel more of what I want to go into in tech.
