So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

We lost something as a culture when computers stopped screaming in agony as you connected them to the internet.

Man…I’m not going to lie, it’s not remotely rewarding anymore to buy what would normally be fun happifying things. Most of the time I have to return what I ordered because it’s poor-quality or defective in some way. And what I do keep, I usually keep because it’s adequate enough to not bother returning.

I can think of maybe one non-essential splurge I bought in the past two years that actually rewards me by virtue of its quality, and that was a bluetooth gaming controller for playing Minecraft on my iPad.

Since Merlin is trending today, thought you should all see another example that proves my 'swords are a metaphor for the heart' theory

DEAR EDUCATIONALLY NEGLECTED HOMESCHOOLERS

I’ve gathered some resources and tips and tricks on self-educating after educational neglect. This is only what I did and what I know helped me. I’m about to graduate college with honors after having no education past the age of 9. I wouldn’t be here without the following. Everything is free, and at/well above the standard for education in the US.

The holy grail: Khan Academy. Nearly every course you could take is available here, in order and by grade level. Their open-source free courses rival some of the college classes I’ve taken. This is your most solid resource.

For inattentive types: Crash Course offers a variety of courses that are snappy, entertaining, and extremely rewarding. They work for my ADHD brain. They also have college prep advice, which is essential if you’re looking to go to higher education with no classroom experience.

To catch up on your reading: There are certain books that you may have read had you gone to school that you’ve missed out on. This list is the most well-rounded and can fill you in on both children’s books and classic novels that are essential or at least extremely helpful to be familiar with. You can find a majority of these easily at a local library (and some for free in PDF form online low key). There are a few higher level classics in here that I’d highly recommend. If it doesn’t work for you, I’d always recommend asking your local librarian.

*BE AWARE* The book list I recommend suggests you read Harry Potter books, and given their transphobic author you may or may not want to read them. If you choose to, I’d highly recommend buying the books secondhand or borrowing from a library to avoid financially supporting a living author with dangerous and damaging views.

TEST, TEST, TEST: Again, Khan Academy is your go-to for this. I don’t personally like standardized testing, but going through SAT and ACT courses was the best way I found to really reveal my gaps so that I could supplement.

Finally: As much as you can, enjoy the process. Education can be thrilling and teach you so much about yourself, and help shape your view of the world. It can get frustrating, but I’d like to encourage you that everyone can learn. No pace is the perfect pace, and your learning style is the right learning style for you. In teaching yourself, be patient, be kind, and indulge in the subjects you really enjoy without neglecting others. You are your teacher. Give yourself what others chose not to.

Alternatives to Google - If you have an account and are logged in on AO3, there is a history page which lists all the works you've opened. Which is handy if it is a recent work you've looked at. Very quick to find in that case. But it's Hell if it was awhile ago and you've never cleared your history - like me and it's 121 pages long. Otherwise, use keywords/phrase in "Any Field" in AO3's search page or keywords/phrase in "Search Within Results" after you've run a search.

However, nothing helps if the work has been deleted by the author. That's why I download every story I've read that I've enjoyed. And AO3 has plenty of options to save stories.

This is especially true after I tried to find a work and used all of the above including Google and discovered it is gone. Gone forever. Bookmarks are useless in this case.

Download or cry.

my heart goes out to the yuri on ice fandom tonight. this show brought me great joy and many tears a long time ago and I was always hopeful there would be more someday. though it never really felt over because I could always see what you all made for them. yuuri and viktor are very much alive and in love in your art. please keep them alive always.

[lazylaughtertime]

My grief cannot be measured. Yuri on Ice has been part of my life since it aired in 2016 😭

I hope that we can keep the fandom alive.
