So for the past 2 years I have been struggling with a chronic illness along with chronic fatigue syndrome. Somehow I have managed to still do pretty well (not amazing) at school. These are the steps I take to make sure that I stay on top of school, but more importantly, take care of myself. These methods can be applied to anyone, not just people with chronic illnesses. 

 Applies mostly to people with chronic illnesses- 

 1 – Talk to your teachers If your teachers understand, they are more likely to help you out. Ask to see them after class and explain your situation, or if you don’t feel comfortable talking to them, write them a big email and get your parents to do so as well. 

 2 – Accept that some teachers wont give a damn Some teachers are going to be amazing and email you slides and notes every time you miss class. But you have to accept that some teachers wont care, and in this case you need to find someone in the class who can photocopy their notes for you. If the teacher really is a problem, talk to/email your school counsellor and they will chase them up. 

 3 – Look into other options Talk to your family and counsellors about home school/online school/health school. I personally do school through a health school. They manage it all so that I can take 2 of my classes physically at school, and 2 online. This means I only go to school a few days a week and do the rest from home. 

 4 – Be prepared to make sacrifices. You may want to look into a career change if its going to make things easier for you. Your also going to have to accept that your not going to get top marks every time. You need time for yourself so you may have to settle for an average grade. That is OK. I cannot stress this enough. There is nothing wrong with just passing! 

 5 – Choose subjects you can manage. Find out what the minimum amount of subjects allowed is, and only pick subjects that you know you can mange eg ditch chemistry lmao. If you have a subject that is required for your further study then focus all your energy on that one and choose other easier subjects. It sucks but trust me it makes life easier. 

 Applies to everyone- 

 6 – Bundle up. Talk to your parents about investing some money into a decent jacket. Nothing is worse then the dash from the train station to class in the freezing cold winter without a good jacket. Find one that is warm, waterproof and has a hood, to avoid catching a cold.

 7 – Food. Make sure you take plenty of healthy snacks to school and make good food choices. However, don’t skimp on comfort food. If you know that a bowl of fries or a muffin is gonna get you through a hard day, go for it! 

 8 – Pack light. Nothing is going to make your aches and pains worse than a heavy bag. Leave as much as you can in your locker, The uni I’m going to next year also has lockers for hire, so look into it. I only carry my notebook, water bottle, meds and some snacks in my bag. If you have a lightweight laptop take that too. I have a macbook pro which weighs like 10,000 kgs so I prefer to leave it at home. 

 9 – meds Meds MEDS. Always stay on top of ANY medication you take. Set alarms on your phone both morning and evening so you don’t forget. 

 10 – Set aside time for yourself everyday. And I mean completely for yourself. No school work, no chores, no nothing. I usually take an hour and a half to just watch tv, take a hot bath or read. 

 11 – Set yourself a strict routine. This will help your sleeping habits, eating habits, study habits, everything. Make one and stick to it. Type it up and make it pretty. Print it out and pin it on your wall. Heres my evening routine as an example: 

5:00 pm – Homework 

7:00 pm – Downtime + Dinner 

8:30 pm – Check bullet journal and complete anything that is unfinished 

9:30 pm – shower and get pj’s on 

10:00 pm – Lights out, phone/laptop away                                               

12 – Don’t be afraid to skip class. When I first got sick I felt terrible about missing classes, but if you have a chronic illness pushing yourself is only gonna set you back. If your having a hard day physically or mentally stay home and email your teachers asking for work to catch up on. 

 13 – WATER. I have a morning bottle, an at school bottle and 2 evening bottles. DRINK WATER. 

 Some last quick things: 

Don’t have energy drinks if you have cfs. You will want to die. 

Coffee is ok but I generally avoid. 

Talk to your friends or anyone who will listen. 

Buy a good backpack with comfortable straps. 

If you feel dizzy/nauseous go home. 

Sometimes treating yourself like a child is the best thing you can do. 

Take hot baths. 

BATH BOMBS. 

Carry 12 hours worth of ibuprofen and paracetamol at all times. 

Carry headphones at all times. 

 Don’t be scared to ask for help. 

Daily light exercise actually does help with your energy even if you feel like it wont.

 There you have it. I hope these help someone. Remember nothing, not even your education, is more important than your health. 

 Rest well, Rebecca xx

(Chaotic) Urban Witch Things

Sigils hastily drawn on your arms, embroidered on your mask, in the soles of your shoes, school books….

Good luck candles dripping onto your desk as you study for hours

Enchanted jewellery to keep unwanted attention away

But also some to help you succeed in classes

Witchy apps on your phone

Carrying a piece of string around for quick knot magick

Saltsaltsaltsalt and sometimes you just get it from a cafe

Make up glamours

Doing small spells on the go, don’t want to be late for that meeting

Bay leaves in your wallet

Even if you don’t smoke, a lighter is also there to burn stuff

And some pens and maybe chalk

Using that chalk to draw protection sigils on your walls

Enchanting your Starbucks drink for positivity and productivity

Playing cards for divination

Kitchen witchcraft can be a simple coffee spell

Feel free to add more!

The Gods Today: Freyja

So I was inspired to further @tricksterinthehedges​‘s post. I hope to slowly work my way through as I spend time working with the gods, researching, and meditating. There’s not really any order outside of who strikes inspiration when.

Sometimes she can be found in various male dominant jobs. A cop. A lawyer. A soldier. A social justice worker. A body guard. The latter is her favorite. Bars and strip clubs are her domain and she will fight to protect it and those inside.

To loyal, respectful patrons and the newcomers who are shy, unsure, and worried, she is considerate and makes sure they enjoy their time. To those who work for her, especially the girls, she demands respect for. There are rules to keep them safe, and all will follow them. She loves her girls. She validates their work. She fights to empower them and let them set their limits and define what their work is and means to them, and she makes sure everyone respects their boundaries. She’s known to give the best bonuses to struggling single-moms, and has put more than one kid’s through college.

Before opening, she can be found in the back helping workers with their make-up, wiping the bar down, doing inventory, and making sure the lighting and sound system are set up just right. The ambiance alone is magic; and she prides herself in the design.

Everyone knows the last dance is reserved for Freyja.

Sex workers know to keep around her. She gives them protection. She helps keep them safe from the scorn of those who spew vitriolic insults their way and those who’ve hired them who don’t understand boundaries and what’s acceptable.

She demands that expressions of female sexuality centers on empowering them first. 

She’s also known to keep the creeps away from women in the gym.

Any free time she gets is devoted to Planned Parenthood and women’s health - whether that health requires a mammogram, a pap-smear, or HRT - she demands for it to be affordable and for it to be available and for it to be quality.

Freyja’s not always the best at handling nay-sayers and protesters, though. Her tactics tend to fall back on hollering and intimidating. Her passion and fury both inspire, make change, and create setbacks. Each time she finds herself staring at the ceiling of a holding cell because she got taken in for excessive force and disturbing the peace, she swears that next time she will keep a calm head. Next time she will destroy her opponents with words: well-crafted arguments and facts that leave no room for her opponent to take ground.

She gets a bit further next time, but the senator had it coming.

Occasionally you can find her and Freyr at Drag Shows, helping with make-up and keeping the crowd safe and respectable. She fiercely battles and dons on war paint every Pride as she walks alongside her brother.

The local animal shelter and hospital frequently receive donations: toys, money, and food. They never know who it’s from; it’s always anonymous. Some of the younger girls who volunteer are pretty sure it’s the badass warrior woman they secretly believe to be either a spy or superhero is the one behind it. She comes every Friday at 3 to stroll through the shelter before spending an hour with the cats, being sure to play with each one. Everyone is amazed when she manages to calm even the oldest and grouchiest of cats. The scarred and ragged 12 year old cat who has been determined feral and has been through more abuse than any animal deserves and refuses the touch or help of anyone. She manages to get him purring and walks away having adopted him. He is a fighter for respect; what’s not given is demanded. They see that quality in each other.

Perhaps most unfamiliar is battle wearied Freyja. Wrinkles crinkle her skin. Her hair has frosted streaks. On another they may give a weak appearance; on her they signal strength and endurance. She retreats to the coast to visit with her father. His warmth and guidance much needed and hard sought. She curls her toes in the sand and feels the salty air scrape her skin. Every now and then Freyr joins her. They lay together, hands clasped, watching the dawning of stars as they try to make sense and find reprieve in the never ending toss and tumble. This is their time for whispered secrets of doubt and insecurities. They find strength in each other’s pulse and their father’s rough hand gently combing through their hair.

She then retreats to her house: a modest place with a thriving garden compliments of her brother and her own nurturing hand. She curls up on her sofa; her fellow fighter worming his way onto her lap, purring words of comfort and assurance. The other, a young calico with enough energy to power the sun, recognizes it’s time to be quiet now and stands vigil during his Lady’s show of vulnerability.

Tomorrow she will begin again. Fighting for equality. Fighting for women. Fighting for all to see their self-worth. Fight for healthcare, comprehensive sex-ed, contraceptives, respect for sex workers and freedom of choice.

Fighting.

But, for now she rests.

How to Really Comprehend a Scientific Paper

**credit to my research advisor, she’s an amazing mentor and I aspire to be just like her someday :)

Read the abstract. Write down what the paper says it is going to be about.

Read the introduction. Write down what the paper says it is looking to accomplish and how.

Read the conclusion. Write down what the paper actually did accomplish.

Go through and find all the pictures, graphs, or diagrams. Write notes explaining these images to yourself.

Read the whole paper start to finish. Write a summary of the paper as though you are explaining it to a layperson, and then another summary as though you are explaining it to a colleague.

Throughout all of the above steps:

If there are words you don’t know google them and write down the definitions

If the paper defines a formula, law, variable, etc in a certain way write that down

If there are references to or recommendations of other literature write those down. After the last step if there’s anything you’re uncertain about or would like more information on look to that list for further reading

Does anyone know good language resources other than duolingo for Irish? Or music or anything like that :)

Dark Academia for the Disabled

I’ve been researching the History of Disabilities lately, and I realized that many Aesthetics aren’t really particularly supportive or inclusive of those with Disabilities, so I decided to take one of my favorite Aesthetics and try and see how it could be more inclusive of those with mental or physical Disabilities. Because yes, Dark Academia absolutely has its issues, but I still think it’s worth trying to like and improve. Also, if you’re interested in Aesthetics, maybe check out one that I made called Earthy Academia right here and here. If you’d like me to include other posts like this for other Aesthetics like Earthy Academia and Cottagecore, please let me know, I’d be more than happy to do so!

For Autistic and ADHD people, research your hyper fixations and write academic-style papers on them. You can even try turning them into your teachers for extra credit!

Find textures and fabrics that make you feel most comfortable, and incorporate them into your Dark Academic Fashion. My personal favorites are a Black Wool Jacket and a Feminine-style Waistcoat that’s just snug enough to be comforting.

Also, heavy jackets like Tweed or Peacoats can provide excellent comfortable weight if you have Autism or other sensory issues, so I’d highly recommend you wear one, as long as you won’t get a heat stroke, of course.

Remember, you don’t have to go to a high-class college in order to be into Dark Academia. Designing your room to be Dark Academia-style, Buying things that remind you of the Aesthetic and visiting places with classic or gothic architecture like Libraries, Schools, Art Galleries and Museums are perfectly fine too. You’re not dumb because you’re not in Harvard University, don’t stress yourself unnecessarily.

If you have trouble reading, whether from Dyslexia, Attention Problems, or what have you, listening to audio books is a good alternative too. Just try collecting books, and if you’re up to it, find a tutor or teacher to help you read better. Try taking notes on what you’re reading so you can understand it better, and don’t blame yourself if you find it too difficult to read. You’re trying your best, and that’s perfectly good enough.

You can also try researching the etymology of your name, or trying to learn a new, old-fashioned word almost every day. That may help strengthen your skills in Linguistics skills.

Try fitting up your Mobility Aids to be in the style of Dark Academia. Neutral Tones and an Artistic Flare would look quite good on a cane, wheelchair or comfort item!

If you struggle getting dressed or moving a lot, don’t stress too much about fashion. Dark Academia doesn’t have to be all Waistcoats and Tweed Jackets. A neutral-toned or black Sweater and maybe a jacket can be perfectly fine too.

Don’t blame yourself if you’re not a star student. Disability is a hard thing to have, it’s understandable. Don’t invalidate yourself for not “living up to the aesthetic”, just accept that you’re trying your best and redefine what it means to be a Dark Academic. 

On a day where you have low spoons and are just too tired to work, try sitting in bed with a cup of coffee or tea, and read, draw, write, make art, watch a movie that seems Dark Academia-style, just do things that fulfill you and make you feel comfortable.

Try keeping a Journal on how you’re feeling, what you’ve learned, what you want to learn, your health issues and what aids you, etc. An online or voice-to-text journal is perfectly fine too, and remember, nothing has to be absolutely perfect. You don’t need to have a fully illustrated collage journal; a simple 5-dollar notebook is perfectly fine too.

Try learning about the History of Disability, especially of the past treatments and understanding for your specific condition(s). However, if this disturbs you (because it can get pretty grizzly and sad, not gonna lie), don’t force yourself to keep researching it. Just research things that make you feel comfortable and excited.

Don’t sacrifice your sleep, hygiene or sanity for the sake of aesthetics and studying. It’s alright to not be perfect, and I promise that the best you can give is good enough, even if it might not feel like it.

Find Historical Figures and Topics related to Disability and try researching them. I particularly enjoy studying Figures who were potentially Autistic, Joseph Merrick (The Elephant Man), Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Van Gogh, to name a few.

Try low-energy activities that feed your mind, such as chess, embroidery, knitting, drawing, painting, etc. Don’t focus too much on outings if you don’t want to, especially in the time of the Coronavirus.

Take a bath while listening to Dark Academia Music like Hozier or ‘Achilles, Come Down’. It takes care of your hygiene and is incredibly relaxing too, in my experience!

Write a movie or book review! Don’t worry too much about perfect, Oscar Wilde-like spelling and grammar. Whatever feels best to you is good enough, and writing can be hard sometimes. Don’t blame yourself.

Design your medbox to be Dark Academia-style. That may make it a little more fun, and remind you to take your meds. Also, set an alarm for when to take your medication with a Classical Music-esque tone, which is both a good reminder and aesthetically pleasing!

Since Dark Academia focuses on more neutral tones and colors, there isn’t too much eye strain and oversaturated colors, which I find helpful as an Autistic person who’s very sensitive to that kind of stuff. Might be a perk of the Aesthetic!

Try incorporating your Disability into your aesthetic, if you’d like. Be proud of it. Be defiant against those who say you look weird, or are weird for doing it. It’s a part of you, nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, it’s hard sometimes, and it can be a painful, traumatic and tedious thing to have, but by reclaiming it and incorporating it more into your life and aesthetics, it gives you a better sense of control over it. Godspeed, friends.

Writing advice #1

*This is a compilation of my own thoughts. I have no way of knowing whether these will personally help you, but it is how I operate and maybe will strike a chord with someone.

During NaNo, simply don’t look back. I know. You want to read what you wrote and perfect everything….. Don’t. If you force perfection on top of the 1600 daily word count, you’re going to stress yourself out. 

Let yourself warm up. The first 15 minutes of your writing session is going to feel like it sucks. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. IT’S FINE. You can fix it, but later.

Exceptions to suggestion #1: At the end of my writing sessions, I’ve started leaving notes such as [the ghost appears, x freaks out]. So when I restart, I parse through the last three-ish paragraphs and add a sentence here or there until I reach my brackets and keep going. It’s a form of warming up imo.

Scream about your accomplishments. I don’t think anyone’s going to argue with me when I say that we writers thrive off other people going !!!! in the tags. Even if you don’t end up keeping the wild idea you had, even if you just said something about something… Be excited! Tag this blog, cram it with all your rambling thoughts and let someone go off about it. It’ll keep you fueled for a bit.

Sometimes, just sit and watch. I’ll acknowledge this one is probably harder now. When I didn’t know what to make my characters do, I’d just stare around my classroom or the bus stop or the cafe and just.. try to be unsuspicious about my people watching. Sometimes, that’s enough to generate more ideas.

Do NOT beat yourself up. Nano is grueling, especially for students and those whose careers pick up at the end of the year. Be able to acknowledge that not meeting your daily goal is not a failing on your part and sometimes it just can’t be helped. It does not make you less of a writer. It does not mean you’re failing at nano if you take care of your other priorities first. 

Evaluate yourself now, in October. Okay. You know November is going to be a LOT. Get a good grip on how you handle your daily life. What I mean is.. I know that my moods are very weather based. This means I won’t want to write on rainy days. This means that when it rains for a week in November and I just want to avoid eye contact with my wip as much as possible, I can evaluate myself and compare “am i completely burnt out and touching the doc will only cause suffering and detrimental brain stuff” vs “am i having a bad day of minor inconveniences and being a baby who can write 100 words if she tried.” I’ll know what times I tend to get lazy, so I won’t schedule writing sprints in that time. 

Do not deprive yourself of anything. No “I can eat dinner after I finish this” “i’ll take a bathroom break after i finish this” “I’ll go to sleep after 400 more words” funny business. It’s not good for you or your brain. (Okay, like, if you literally have half a sentence and say “I’ll eat after this,” fine, but no “I said I’d eat half an hour ago but I haven’t finished this scene so i can’t”) I used to do that. All it did was make me miserable and less productive.

Nanowrimo Advice

I’ve been doing Nanowrimo for 15 years. Here’s what I’ve learned:

Pace yourself, it’s a marathon not a sprint, you don’t want to burn out in the first few days.

Planning counts as writing. Jotting down possible story archs counts, writing down anything that you think of about the characters or the world counts. If it’s connected to the novel write it down. It counts. 

As long as your working on the story you’ll find a spark of inspiration. If you don’t feel like writing you can draw your character, create maps, fill out character questionnaires, make a playlist or a pinterest board for you book. Keep the world in your mind and the ideas will come.  

Experiment. Chase the random ideas.

The idea you had one Nov, 1st might not resemble the draft you have on Nov 30th. That’s normal.

Use place holders for things you need to research. “Elephant,” “TK” “[” ect. anything that you’ll be able to find again later.

Word sprints will help get you word count, but they aren’t obligations. You don’t have to do them.

When you get stuck, ask questions:  Ask every question you can think of. One of them will spark some inspiration.

There will be days you won’t get a chance to write. That’s okay.

If you feel like giving up post in the forums, you’ll get advice and encouragement.

Back up your work frequently.

Save the draft. Even if you think you’ll never come back to it after Nov 30, you might use something from this draft for a future project.

Save references and resources. You might need them again in the future.

Strong characters can save weak stories, Weak characters can kill a strong story. Get to know them. Motivations, fears, strengths and weaknesses. 

You CAN do this. You don’t have to know how to write well. You don’t have to have a degree in English, or a life time of experience. All you need is 1667 words a day. The words can be good, bad or indifferent. Just get the words down and you’ll get the winner bar.
