Out-ing Minority Students to Their Abusers - Safeguards needed in HB 382

I am writing to express my profound concerns regarding the proposed HB 382 legislation: Out-ing Minority Students to Their Abusers, which aims to involve parents in the education process but may inadvertently expose vulnerable LGBTQ+ students, and others, to harmful environments. As any survivor of domestic violence is acutely aware; ensuring the safety and well-being of all students is paramount, especially those from marginalized communities. While I acknowledge the intention behind HB 382, it is crucial to consider the potential for misuse of this legislation, which would further exacerbate the already high rates of harm and mortality among LGBTQ+ youth. Therefore, I call you to incorporate additional safeguards into the bill to protect the privacy and safety of these students, or alternatively, reject the bill entirely to rework it with the safety of ALL students prioritized. Specifically, measures must be implemented to ensure that information about a student's gender identity and romantic interests is not disclosed without their explicit consent to anyone. The goal of our education system should be to foster an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment for all students, regardless of their personal demographics. By prioritizing the privacy and safety of vulnerable students, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and grow without fear of discrimination or harm. I urge you to consider these concerns and take action to protect the rights of students in Alaska. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Protect the privacy of all students! We’re so pro-life; we’ll martyr our queer! Safeguards needed in HB 382!

Being consistent can be challenging, but it's a skill that can be developed over time.

1. Set Clear Goals

Define what you want to achieve and why it's important.

Break the goal into smaller, manageable steps.

2. Create a Routine

Establish a daily or weekly schedule.

Make it as simple and realistic as possible to follow.

3. Start Small

Begin with small, achievable actions. This builds momentum and confidence.

Gradually increase your effort as you become more comfortable.

4. Stay Organized

Use tools like planners, apps, or calendars to track your progress.

Prioritize tasks and focus on what's most important.

5. Build Good Habits

Replace bad habits with positive ones.

Stay consistent by committing to a specific time or place for certain activities.

6. Hold Yourself Accountable

Set deadlines and hold yourself to them.

Share your goals with a friend or mentor to get support.

7. Embrace Imperfection

Understand that setbacks happen; don't let them derail your efforts.

Focus on progress, not perfection.

8. Stay Motivated

Remind yourself of your "why" regularly.

Celebrate small wins to keep your spirits high.

9. Avoid Overloading Yourself

Don’t take on too much at once; this can lead to burnout.

Learn to say no to distractions that don’t align with your goals.

10. Be Patient

Consistency is built over time, not overnight.

Trust the process and keep going even when progress feels slow.

Take care of yourself <3

it takes courage to be kind. it takes effort to be kind. no, it does not cost $0 to be kind. Kindness is a choice. Sometimes, a hard one. But people still make it and that's what keeps the world going.

also whether or not God has called me to teach high school, I do WISH that that were my calling because it would make everything easier. Well. Not easier. Just simpler.

Watch me getting my life back (on track)… and fall in love with life again.

May I reintroduce me (again)?

I don’t know how many restarts I did here and on instagram. But tumblr kinda grew to my personal safespace. So I want to tell you something about me; I’m 27 years old, working parttime in a small lawfirm and a garage aaaand I’m studying law at an open university, also parttime, completely at home. Sometimes I visit the nearest college to loan out some books. As you may guess from the picture, I live in the alps. And I love it. I’ve started my studies quite late, because I did an apprenticeship as a legal assistant and then did my a-levels afterwards. I’m also struggling with some serious mental health issues, which lead to some delays also… But since a few days I have the strong intuition, that I’m finally on an upleading path and I want to document my journey here, with you.

What can you expect from my blog?

Mostly realistic study content and my every day life. I won’t post stock or Pinterest photos just for an aesthetic look. Maybe I’ll repost some posts I like personally.

Recently I organized my desk new, because I often just blankly starred out of the window instead of studying. I kinda hate to ruin this view, maybe I will change it again, but for now and my upcoming exams in September it’s probably the best solution. Maybe you have a better solution for me? Please write me, if you have one!

Currently I’m making baby steps everyday to regain my consistency in studying and physical health.

Please join me on my journey if you want!

See you tomorrow!

Unwind After a Long Day

Imagine this, you just had a long day at work or school and all you want to do is just relax. Here are a few ways you can do that:

Indulging in skin care like facemasks and massages help you relax immensely.

Write down how you're feeling. Journaling is a great way to release stress and can help you analyze what is stressing you out.

Listening to music. This is one of my fav ways to kinda just sink in after a busy day and it helps a lot.

Reading helps us reduce stress and anxiety and helps boosts your mood, all of which are great for relaxing.

Going for a walk can help clear your head which is great to get into a more relaxed state.

Yoga or stretching not only helps you physically relieve tension but also helps in quieting the mind, improving circulation and way more. I highly recommend after a long day to relax.

Gardening, knitting, drawing, etc. are great hobbies that give you a sense of control and provides mental stimulation. These are crucial in rejuvenating your mind and body.

I hope these give you an idea of what to do to after a stressful day for a peaceful evening. <3

Hey 👋🏻 it's been a while... It feels like a lot of things have been going on, irl and in my head, and I needed to get away from social media to collect my thoughts. I'm seriously considering transferring university. It will be a more rigorous program and further from home (longer commute 😭), but when I think of it objectively, it will broaden my future options, which is ultimately what I want. But based on past experience, there are two issues that are likely to crop up:

I'm really awful at juggling many responsibilities at once (and my current threshold for "many" is very low...e.g. i take the minimum number of courses needed to be considered a full-time student at my current uni). The juggling act consistently overwhelms me and the overwhelm scares me. So far, I've been fortunate enough to be able to organize my life around this, but it's just made my fear of potentially overwhelming situations greater and it has cost me many a good opportunity. So I really do want to get better at this since I can't continue on like this and live the life I want to. It seems that this ability to juggle many responsibilities at once without feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or anxious, improves with practice (exposure therapy!) and good energy/time management, so that's what I'm going to attempt to do in the coming months before I actually apply 🙈

I'm quite the homebody, always have been, but lately it's been getting more severe, so I'm sure the lonelier/FOMO-filled, bigger university setting and culture will be quite an adjustment for me (and I already felt the frustration of FOMO and was quite lonely at my current uni, especially in my first year 😬). When the time comes, I'll need to expand my sources of comfort (e.g. settle into new favorite study spots and routine walks between classes) and hold onto current sources of comfort I can engage in or reasonably bring with me to uni (e.g. a homemade lunch, journal, perhaps a small stuffie for a study buddy, noticing and appreciating nature 🌿, wearing soft and cozy clothes/clothes that make me feel confident).

AN OPEN LETTER to STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES (ALASKA ONLY)

Reconsider HB 183 for Inclusive School Athletics

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

HB 183, which proposes segregating school athletics based on biological sex, raises significant concerns about the potential harm it could inflict on children. This approach lacks scientific backing and may inadvertently subject students to invasive scrutiny, including the risk of inappropriate inspections. It is imperative that we prioritize the safety and well-being of all students above all else.

Moreover, HB 183 echoes past mistakes made by administrations that were overly focused on perceived threats from the LGBTQ community, while neglecting actual dangers within local communities. For instance, scandals involving institutions like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America highlight the grave consequences of such misguided priorities.

Therefore, I strongly urge reconsideration of HB 183. Instead of implementing policies that could harm vulnerable students, let us work towards fostering inclusive environments where all children can participate in sports with their peers, regardless of their sex. By promoting inclusivity and respect, we can create safer and more equitable opportunities for all students to thrive.

making a decision regarding yourself, whether you should push forward and exceed your limits or give yourself a break can be challenging sometimes.

say I’ve been working too hard on something and I started feeling exhausted thinking that “I must have reached my limit I can’t do this anymore” the one thought that comes to mind in this situation is: did I really “reach my limit”? What if I pushed forward? What if I forced myself to continue? what if I was harder on myself and therefore I was actually able to continue and focus? Maybe I’ll be tired at first but then I’ll go through just with a little more pressure on myself, what if it’s like climbing a mountain and wanting to back but you tell yourself maybe just a few more and ill be there at the top of the mountain thanking myself for putting in that effort.

But then I think what if my body really needs rest? What if it’s my body calling for help? giving me signs to give it a little break? What if I decided to put in effort and it caused a burnout and made things worse? So now I need a break, rest, and to give myself time to recover? This would be even harder when I NEED to push through, when I don’t have time to baby myself and give myself rest.

Yes rest is essential and imperative but moving forward with my goals is much more important to me…you can always have rest but sometimes your goals have deadlines, you can only achieve them within a limited time.

You can never know if you’re making the right decision...

okay so all of this in the top was written by me about 2-3 months ago and left as a draft. today i got the urge to take a look at my drafts and i passed by this... after these months i got the answer to what i was questioning and i feel emotional (lol dramatic i know) BUT these past few weeks I've been overworking myself so bad that i got myself into a massive burnout which also led my immune system to reach the floor which also got me ill (surprising? no) . so what happened exactly? its the greed to succeed lol...i started the semester not feeling like myself, having low passion and more (mind you im one of the top three students) i don't know how it all happened but i found myself skipping classes, getting help from students in classes when i don't even ask (big indicator that something was wrong), and the last straw which got me back to my senses is seeing how most students were ahead of me (i know i skipped classes...and this isn't about comparing myself to others its about feeling or realizing how lost i was), the professor asking questions and everybody but me knowing the answers. i finally woke up and told myself "you're being average right now you cant fail your classes how come everyone knows but you don't?" (beating myself up...bad i know) i was fuming on the inside, so i started spending my whole time studying, having sleepless nights, surviving on caffeine, eating poorly, attending classes while having little to no sleep. people were telling me that im being too hard on myself but i didn't see that i truly did not, actually i was telling myself the exact same words i wrote above two months ago, i was putting more and more pressure on myself saying "im not tired i just think i am" "im not doing the bare minimum", i was also afraid of leading myself to a burnout then having to get rest which looked like a delay from what i wanted to achieve ...but guess what happened? the delay. i led myself to a burnout, i had to get rest because i couldn't work and focus well, my body was crying for help...this taught me a really good lesson, rest is the most important thing, and giving yourself rest doesn't mean you're delaying your goals you're actually making more energy for your goals. align rest with your goals and their deadlines to achieve the best. and be less harder on yourself and listen to your body, always. now im slowly giving myself time, telling myself that the process isn't linear, im slowly making progress but im telling myself that its okay because this is essential for my wellbeing.

The fact that my school just casually gave us a PowerPoint saying "haha yeah so this year your stress is going to skyrocket and your mental health is going to plummet, feel free to talk to a teacher if you need but also don't miss two days of school or else you'll get fined out of house and home! Peace and love though! <3"

AS IF THAT DOES NOT SHOW THERE TO BE AN INHERENT FLAW IN THE SYSTEM IF IT'S A KNOWN AND ACCEPTED FACT THAT I -- ALREADY A MENTALLY UNWELL BASTARD -- AM GOING TO BE DRIVEN TO THE BRINK OF SUICIDE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE MY GCSES! BRO. GET A FUCKING GRIP.

28th - 31st August 24 ~ Getting my life back!

I’ve tried to focus only on learning but my health planned otherwise. Had to take one day completely off, just laying on the sofa and a small walk in the evening. I’ve slept a lot… but it seems like my body needed this.

But it feels like I’ve accomplished something whilst studying. It’s just one step after another. I’m quite sure, that this time, I’ll really get my shit together and study regularly and consistent during the semester.
