Five minutes of Instagram fame

The Brazilian fan is back with more attention-grabbing content, one week after she had thousands of eyes on her London shenanigans. Which I am not going to discuss, simply because I do believe there is no need to give the anecdote more space than it deserves. Enough is enough, and the apparent collective loss of all sense of measure is a sure sign that pause is needed, in that department.

What I am going to discuss, however, is the chutzpah of a 23 year old Nobody, who just wishes to keep those five minutes of fame rolling on and on and on.

Yesterday, she felt compelled to publish another batch of Instagram stories, in which she delivers her Toxic Shipping 101 lecture:

In the process, she basically just rephrases the main Anti Bible arguments, calls thousands of people 'insane', quotes two influential shipper blogs (slàinte mhath, @bat-cat-reader!) that didn't even come close to what I wrote about her, brings on board her mother and grandmother just to explain how upset she was about 'older American women picking up on her'. And ends with a rather pathetic plea for all of us, shippers, to 'seek immediate medical attention'. Same unnerving sotaque Paulista (São Paulo accent), with a posh and very fake tinge of British English. Same incoherent, amateur and immature discourse, endlessly seeking to bring attention to herself, mildly trying to victimize herself. Blah, blah.

I would have given her grace, were it not for this particular argument, in response to a X user asking a rather uncomfortable question, as she definitely has the constitutional right to do:

'OH God, not her again 23 yr old Brazilian trying to be a reporter in London, complete fail. but in BIG OL LONDON, 'JUST HAPPENED' TO Spot Sam, how dumb do you think we all are?'

Answer is the real dumb part of the story, if you ask me, especially coming from a very young woman: 'Forbidden to be a journalist and meet a celebrity in the street. Forbidden to go for a walk as a journalist, paging all my colleagues, ok? I had no clue I could be as scheming as they say I am.'

Ok, buttercup: it is my honest understanding that you want to be taken seriously and treated as a professional, right? Did I miss something, here?

Right. As the daughter of a journalist and a former Government expert in media policies (specifically dealing with media content broadcasting), I am going to do exactly this and honestly ask you, Mrs. Silva:

Do you consider, in all good faith, that you acted like a professional journalist, in this very circumstance?

Do you consider to have kept your impartiality and have you at least checked all the relevant facts and POVs, before slandering all those people on your social media account? Or did you content yourself to report the hearsay shared with you by other bloggers, and just conveniently quoted four random bloggers and commenters?

Have you the slightest idea that one of the commenters who reached out to you on Instagram, questioning your version of the facts, is not even a shipper (and actually, very violently far from being one)?

During the week separating your first post and this reaction to people's feedback, have you or have you not respected your due diligence obligation to contact and engage with the people you so easily treat as a bit less than the scum of the Earth?

Did you or did you not ask for permission to quote their published content on your social media account, especially in a polemic context?

Unlike you, I have diligently perused both your website and your Linked In account. Maybe it is time to tell all those people you have insulted the truth about who you are, professionally, at this very moment:

Marketing student, 3rd semester.

Let me count: 3 internships (correct me if I am wrong), in various junior positions for 1 local media outlet, 1 international corporation and 1 website, 4 different jobs - or should I say 'stints' (3 with your current employer, 1 as a freelancer for a local media outlet).

Still learning. There is absolutely nothing bad about it. But you have still a LONG way to go until you could pretend to be a real voice. And there is nothing in what you posted that could grab my professional attention and make me hire you. Quite the contrary and, believe it or not, I am awfully sorry to say so.

My three free and totally unsolicited pieces of advice:

Always check your facts, always get in touch with the people you plan to write about. In fact, your anger and ego got the best of your professional self and you lost a great opportunity for a paper you could have even titled ' Viagem na Shipperlândia' (A Trip to Shipperland). I would have read that. But you haven't. You preferred to act just like all the other 23 year old girls and make a belly-button story about yourself.

Never bring your family forward in questionable contexts. You expose people who have nothing to do with the irrelevant insanity of a fandom war, to which you contributed your own, perhaps involuntary, dose of chaos and unnecessary drama.

Never lie on your Linked In resume. Potential employers might and will read it. Never write things like:

.. when you also fail to accurately describe your former job position, denoting poor spelling:

Especially when words are your craft, bread and butter. The devil is always in the details:

As I mentioned in a previous post, you could have been my daughter. I have been that 23 year old girl myself, desperate to list every single internship and tempted to inflate language proficiency, in the hope it would land me the job of my dreams. And I have learned the hard way that being a true professional is cancelling your ego.

You'll learn. Until then, stop bitching on things you have no idea about and act like an adult, not an attention hungry teenager. This comes from a place of tough love: sometimes, the most effective life lessons are given by complete strangers.

[sapphire-weapon]

These people are giving the impression that they're residing in a mental asylum going from their behaviour alone

Like dude, it's not just you that spoke about aeon being reconnected in remake, I've seen people on Reddit make the case aswell, and people actually agree, majority even like anyone with an ounce of reason knows these two are never meant to be

It's just that twitter is a hell space where every person with the mentality of a 14 yr old hangs out and tries to cook anything and everything when they set their pitiful little ship on fire. eagleone - the ship that actually is the embodiment of healthy and a stable supporting and loving relationship is disgusting and unfathomable to them and they coat it in "sibling energy!!!!" but aeon that's literally a prime representation of don't fucking go back to your toxic ex or your brain cells will suffer is by stroke of lunacy more appealing and sexy to them. Like, you were so fucking right that these clowns don't read the story at all, they just don't care about it. They care about their ship that was a mistake from day one to somehow be a thing and raze everyone else to the ground that disagrees. No one on fucking twitter is valid. No. One. Fuck that place, i literally had to delete my account because i was constantly getting discourses on my tab even though i never interacted nor followed anything remotely related to the ship.

i don't think that it's just that i talk about aeon being retconned. i think there's a few things at play when it comes to me specifically.

1. i talk about aeon being retconned and also eagleone being made canon.

2. i have a permanent fixture of a space, like a blog, as opposed to someone on reddit who just makes errant posts across many different threads and will be lost to time.

3. i don't just say "i think aeon was retconned." i make a thorough case with evidence from the text and screenshots to help drive the points home.

4. it's very hard for people who don't understand the structure of a story to argue against me because they can't use the same argumentative tools that i'm using, which leaves them feeling frustrated and impotent.

and i think #4 is the most important one and the real reason why i personally upset so many people so deeply. like, i had someone send me an aeon's analysis on discord today, and they asked for my opinion, and this is what i said back to them:

that is why aeons hate me so damn much.

[ad_1] Just right morning, there. I’m a bit drained this morning, having stayed wide awake for PlayStation’s large gaming show off final night time. A large number of us concept Sony may give us a sexy risk free excursion of the PlayStation 5’s incoming UI replace — possibly a better have a look at video games at the horizon, like Deathloop. Sony We had been incorrect. So incorrect. We were given early first-looks at a brand new God of Conflict recreation, a Spider-Guy sequel and, whoa, a Wolverine recreation made by way of the similar studio answerable for the web-slinger’s newest adventures, Insomniac. We were given a handful of remasters — with Uncharted 4 specifically having a look beautiful — and, unbelievably, a real unlock date for Gran Turismo 7. It used to be an excellent appearing for PlayStation — particularly after a yr of most commonly limp gaming occasions (do you even take into account the , Microsoft’s final Xbox show off?) Sony, to this point, is keeping its place of energy for this technology of consoles. For now. Will Microsoft’s large cloud gaming push rain on its parade? — Mat Smith The entire greatest PlayStation Exhibit tales And please, please discover a new wake phrase. Engadget We’ve were given two tales on Fb’s collaboration on sensible glasses with Ray-Ban, and our two writers draw an identical conclusions. The glasses glance fashionable and the digital camera turns out to take slightly respectable video photos, however that Fb connection…. You’ll want your telephone within sight to do the rest with the video and pictures you seize, and there’s a small white LED that lighting fixtures up when the glasses are recording. Sure, they're slightly heavier, and the cameras are noticeable up shut, however from a distance, they may simply cross as every other pair of WayFarers. That’s the crux of those — they’re indubitably a Fb product, but it surely’s seeking to cover that. There’s no Fb brand at the frames, regardless that there may be some at the packaging, and it's because, neatly, a large number of us don’t have a lot love for the social community. There’s so much (so much!) of similarities with Snapchat’s Spectacles, however Ray-Ban’s Tales do be offering audio features constructed into each and every arm. On the other hand, it’s nonetheless onerous to disconnect love for the system with the corporate answerable for it.  Learn on for Karissa Bell’s impressions to this point. Neo doesn’t know who he's. Warner Bros. And fortunately, the whole thing doesn’t glance inexperienced and gray. Watch right here. A deep dive into how cameras are nonetheless evolving. Cameras stay getting higher, however arguably, the tempo of development has slowed. You'll be able to have a look at pictures on decades-old DSLRs, they usually glance lovely just right! Whilst in some assessments, sensors appear to have slightly modified, there were large developments in noise relief, dynamic vary and how briskly sensors will also be learn. Chris Schodt explains all of it. Watch right here. SpaceX up to now accused Amazon of delaying its Starlink proposals. Amazon's reaction to SpaceX's FCC submitting, which accused the e-commerce large of seeking to extend proposals for its Starlink web carrier on objective, is solely as scathing. In an FCC submitting of its personal, Amazon informed the regulator that SpaceX leader Elon Musk has a tendency to forget about regulations and government-imposed rules. The corporate additionally mentioned SpaceX continuously accuses any corporate "that dares indicate its flouting of rules and rules" as "anticompetitive." That is the most recent construction in a long struggle with the FCC within the heart.

So u like ShigaToga? I LOVE that ship! It's so disappointing to see ppl whining abt it when there're only 4 yrs of difference between them...? Is that a difference? But it only gets more disappointing when ppl of my own country forget that minimum consent age 'round here is 14 🙃 I even lost "friendships" because of it, and the fandom should also take into account that not only minimum consent age in Japan is still 13, Toga romantically likes Stain who is 31, that is canon 🫤 Ship it or not, there are a number of factors to take into consideration before judging it, and for me or Japanese ppl for instance, that IS a matter of opinion. I also love their relationship dynamics 'cause Toga seems to rly respect Shigs and take his opinion as her boss into consideration, she just wants to make him happy and that's what made me start shipping them 💕

Awww, I'm sorry to disappoint but I can't say I'm all that much of a shipper for both of these characters but I have and will defend people who do ship them because they're fictional characters and their age difference really isn't too different or drastic.

Especially because most who do ship them probably do so with Toga over 18+ just in case (I've had people admit to me they do so), though a 17 year old having a crush on a 20 year old really isn't that weird and definitely happens in real life.

I wouldn't even bring in the argument of real life age of consent as usually younger ages of consent are there so that teenagers don't get in trouble exploring their own hormones with each other, plus it's just not necessary in this conversation because Toga and Shigaraki are both fictional characters with similar ages and maturity.

Fictional ships cannot be compared to real life relationships and more specifically, they hurt no one as long as they're properly tagged and people are able to avoid content that they can find upsetting or uncomfortable. A lot of the time, those who ship younger characters with older ones are even teenagers themselves, exploring their own sexuality and interests safely through fiction, which is much better than putting themselves in harms way in real life.

Haha, sorry this became a bit of a talk on my own views of fictional ships and my stance on them.

Toga and Shigaraki are a cute ship with interesting dynamics and I hope you find people who love them as well!!

[storm-leviosa-fanfics]

for the fic ask game, multiples of five!! and for ruins :)

Hey Luka!!! thanks for the asks (there are so many omg)

5: Share a snippet that you’re proud of from an upcoming fic/chapter.

I know what you want and you're not getting it 😉 Instead have some waaaay in the future migratory birds

Things are...different when Damian comes home for summer. More frantic, tighter, hotter and faster and it makes Damian feel bad that the only one on vacation is him. He works a morning shift three times a week at the clinic, just desk work, but it gives him the kind of behind-the-scenes knowledge that a veterinary medicine degree won’t give him. Sometimes Mark the vet lets him stand in the corner and watch procedures. Sometimes Bianca the vet-tech lets him look at blood samples down a microscope. And then there’s Chara and Mel who sneak him in before his shift to cuddle the in-patients with them on their early morning rounds, and slide boxes of Chara’s grandfather’s homemade baklava across the front desk as they troop in from their lunch break. Aaron, who mans the front desk and supervises Damian, wants to be an accountant. This is something Damian will never understand. He lets Aaron do all the accounts and systems and spreadsheets, and takes over customer service instead. He signs in the patients, gives them all the pamphlets they’ll ever need, spends one - horrifically dull - morning crossing out the landline number on every business card in the stack when they switch over to online booking only.

He comes home in the early afternoons with hours of nothing stretching out before him and does nothing but watch out the ceiling fan whir. New York summers are hot as hell. He cannot physically bring himself to move from the floor. Titus tries to flop down on top of him and his body heat is too much for Damian. He shoves him off, and Titus whines as if he’s actually hurt by this.

“You,” Damian tells him seriously, “are an over-dramatic idiot.” Titus thumps his tail on the floor and licks Damian’s face. It’s disgusting, but his slobber is surprisingly cool.

10: Who has been your favourite character to write about in 'ruins'? What do they bring to the fic?

Why would you make me choooooose? Tim and Steph are both so much fun to write. Chaos gremlins who share half a braincell between them. I don't want to choose one. The best thing about them is that neither of them actually hold the braincell, but each of them thinks they do. If that makes any sense at all. Like they both think they're so smart and so mature, but really they are just stupid teenagers and it's actually so much fun. They're great as unreliable narrators because they don't think they are! They think they're totally reasonable!

15: Which fic that you’ve written relates to you and your personal life the most?

Well they all do a little I think? Like 'ruins' is a chance for me to rag on the BM and repatriation/decolonisation efforts; 'migratory birds' is wish-fulfillment for 17 yr old me who wanted to go to vet school; 'if wishes were horses' is pretty self-explanatory in inspiration. But the only time I've written a fic and gone 'oh this is really personal maybe I shouldn't do this' was sticks and stones, so I'd have to say that.

20: Which fic have you put the most work into? Which fic have you put the least work into?

Most: in terms of time and background research? ruins. I have spent hours on google looking for specific facts, or places of interest, or archeological stuff, and half of it doesn't actually make it into the fic I just find it interesting and then 4 hours later I'm still on wikipedia and 0 words have been written.

Least: There are fics that I have rattled out in an hour at 1am. Anything tagged 'I wrote this instead of sleeping' is one of those. The one I will say as my ultimate 'least effort' is probably the one with Damian and Santa solely bc I don't remember anything about it. I wrote it at like midnight on Christmas eve and posted it unedited.

25: If you could remove one character from ruins’s universe, who would it be? Why?

Most of the characters I don't think I could actually remove without crippling the story. But, I think I mentioned Ives once or twice and I realised very quickly that he was mentioned solely bc I wanted Tim to have friends, and I remembered his name before anyone else's. So, I'd probably remove him, bc I know nothing about him as a character, and replace him with someone else. I had the chance to bring Bernard back before it was cool and I blew it!

My Masterlist

Shy’s Favorite Fic List

I sit in the bar and throw back another shot. My hunt didn't go as planned. Lost a friend and good hunter. Well, he wasn't that great of a hunter, but still. He didn't deserve to go out that way. May he rest in peace. Now to go back to Cheyenne, and tell his wife. I throw back another shot.

The door to bar opens and I feel the cool evening breeze. Out of habit, I look towards the door to see who is walking in. That's when I see him walk in. The red shirt he wears stands out more than anything in this bar. The way he runs his hands through his short hair makes me catch my breath. The way his body moves around, I instantly know he's a hunter. But not just any hunter, this is a Winchester.

He looks around the bar as if he's looking for someone. Even from across the bar, I can see his green eyes flutter this way and that. I have never seen green eyes like that. So bright and that they look almost fake. When he doesn't find or see what he's looking for he makes his way to the bar. He takes a seat a few seats away from me and orders a beer. He takes a couple glances around and those green eyes land on me. With a small smirk, he winks at me.

Quickly looking away, I order a few more rounds of shots. When the small drinks are placed in front of me, I shoot back the golden brown drink. I can still feel his eyes on me. A quick sideways glance, I see that he has turns part of his body towards me. I look away and shoot back that last three shots. I start to slip out of my chair and when I look up I see him standing right there. Beer bottle in hand.

How did he get here so fast? I wonder. I mean, I've heard stories about the Winchesters, so I'm not going to doubt anything at this point. "Sorry," I try to move pass him but his green eyes hold me there.

"Have we met?" His deep rough voice suddenly has my brain sending signal all the way down to my core. Fuck, the sound of his voice was almost better than the whiskey I just shot. I mean, this could be the alcohol talking too.

"I wouldn't forget you if we had." Did I really say that out loud? Yep, I'm an ass who will most likely regret this in the morning.

He chuckles which makes me wish I had my legs crossed. Fuck. I'm starting to feel the ache and pulling in between my legs. I knew I had to get out of here. Silent rule between us female hunters: Never sleep with a Winchester. If you do, don't get attached because those Winchester men are a love them in the moment kind of man. Then they are gone without a word the next morning.

"Good one," His smile lingers on his too perfect face. "I'm Dean Winchester." He stretches his free hand out.

"Figures. I've of heard of you," my hand, having a mind of its own, takes it and shakes it. "I'm YN YLN."

Dean Winchesters smile gets a bit bigger. He sits in the empty chair by him and without thinking, I do the same. I make sure I cross my legs too. "I've heard of you, too." Damn it, his voice really needs to stop doing that. I squeeze my legs tighter together. "Word on the street is that you're a badass hunter with a tongue who takes and gives no fucks."

"Is that what they're saying about me?" I chuckle and look down. "I get the job done. That's all."

For the next two hours we talk. We exchange some of our hunting stories. He has saved the world a several times and lives up to the stories I've heard from other hunters. As we talk, He drinks and I chug water and snack on some crappy bar fries. Before the clock hits ten, I get up out of my seat and tell him I gotta get back to my motel and get some sleep.

"Do you need a lift?" Deans voice, sexy as it is, is a bit slurry.

"No, It's just around the block," I say.

"Don't like it," He gets up and throws cash onto the bar counter. He takes keys out of his pocket and shakes them. "I'll take you back."

I smile and can't help but feel the tightness in my core. It's practically screaming right now. "I'm a big girl," I say remember that silent rule.

"I'm afraid I have to insist, sweetheart," He gently takes my arm and hooks it around his and walks me out. "You never know what sick bastard wants to get his hands on a beautiful thing like you. Hunter or not, you could get hurt."

So I let Dean Winchester take me back to my motel room.

Sitting in the parking lot in front of my room, we talk a little bit more. I haven't talked that much to just one person before. I have always kept talks with others short. I start to get out and Dean gets out with me.

"Don't say anything," He says walking around to my side. "Let me just make sure you make it inside alright."

I throw my hands up and let him walk me to the door. I repeat the silent rule in my head. Never sleep with a Winchester. Never sleep with a Winchester. Never sleep with a Winchester. I open my door and step inside, Dean watches my every move.

"Do you want to come in?" I catch myself asking.

"Sure," Dean follows me inside.

I don't know what the fuck I just did, but I am not backing out. My body seems to know what I what more than my brain. "I'm going to use the bathroom real quick." Before I close the door to the bathroom, I see Dean take a seat in the motel table chair and pull out his phone. I turn to the bathroom sink and splash my face and see the look in my own eyes. The lust. The hunger. The need.  I pull the hair band from my hair and shake it out.

"Here we go," I smile to myself. I instantly become a whole new person.

I make my way out of the bathroom. Dean is leaning back in the chair. "I hope you don't mind, but I raided your mini fridge." He points to a few empty mini bottles of alcohol.

"Oh that's fine," I walk over to my phone that's on the table and find the perfect song. Setting it down, I open up my bag and pull out the tie that I carry with me. "I hope you don't music."

"I love music," Dean says shifting in his seat. I can see a noticeable bulge forming tightly in his pants.

"Good," I turn towards Dean. "Just feel the music once the music starts." He eyes the tie in my hand. He smirks and raises an eyebrow. I bite my lip as I feel the wetness in my pants start to form. I take the tie and gently wrap it around his eyes and tie a knot so it's secure.

I press play on the phone and lean behind him. "Like I said, feel the music."

As the song starts, I slowly run my hands over his shoulders. Feeling the firm muscle under neath the layer of red. I suck in a soft breath. I lean behind him and press my lips to his neck and trail them to his ear. I feel the muscles tense and relax. I move to the other side and put my lips to his ear and whisper the lyrics to him.

"It ain't my fault you keep turning me on. It ain't my fault you got, got me so gone. It ain't my fault I'm not leavin' alone. It ain't my fault you keep turning me on." I slowly push away and notice a small little smile on his face. I walk around straddle his lap and start on the buttons of that red shirt. Figures, there's another layer under it.

I push this first layer down and when I do, Deans hands grab my hips. With one hand and take both of them and pin them down between our bodies. One of his fingers slips out and starts to firmly stroke the crotch of my jeans. I bite my lip and suck in a breath. Just the touch alone sends sparks throughout my body.

Taking my free hand, I grab the back of his head and grip the small hair. I feel his hands ball into fists. I press my forehead to his and he tries to bring his lips to mine. He can't due to my firm grip. "So if I put your hands where my eyes can't see. Then you're the one who's got a hold on me. No I, can't be responsible, responsible." I softly sing along to the song. I softly and quickly press my lips to his.

Dean's lips part and I feel the tip of his tongue on my lips. I push away and slid off his lap, making sure my hand brushed against his already hard erection. I make my way around the chair again and slowly slide my hands back down his chest. Sighing as I feel the muscles again. As the lyrics of the song start again It ain't my fault you came in looking like that. You just made me trip, fall, and land on your lap. Certain bad boy smooth, body hotter than a sauna. I don't mean to be rude, but I look so damn good on ya. I grip the bottom of his black t-shirt and pull it up over his head. Without the blindfold moving either.

Nothing prepared me for Deans hand to grip my neck gently but firmly from behind. Dean pulls my neck down and presses his lips to mine. He slips his tongue into my mouth and explores it. His tongue runs along my teeth and pushes my tongue aside. Trying to claim dominance.

I push away from him. His hand reluctantly pulls away from my neck and falls back to his lap. I walk around him and un do my pants and shimmy out of them. Dean tilts his to the side as he hears my pants hit the ground. I got back and sit on Deans lap but this time, my back is a hundred percent to him. I grab his hand and use them to run over my body. From my shirt covered breast to my naked thighs. My head rolls back and to the side as he take control of his hands back.

"Too much shirt," he whispers into my ear. He grabs the hem of my shirt and flawlessly takes it off. I hear the fabric fall floor and I bring a hand back to his face. As swiftly as he took my shirt off, he takes my bra off. Both his firm and calloused hands squeeze both my breast and pinches the sensitive nipple making them hard under his hands.  

My head falls back onto Deans shoulder. He takes hold of my neck again and kisses my neck and his free hand trails my body and slowly disappears under my lace panties. His finger slowly circle around my clit and that's all he does. I suck in a breath and bite my lip as my own arousal slowly turns into a climax.

Dean kisses my neck again as the lyrics of the song say So if I put your hands where my eyes can't see. Then you're the one who's got a hold on me. No I, can't be responsible, responsible. Then without warning, Dean pushes me off his lap. I turn to see him rip the tie of his face. Those gorgeous green eye were filled lust, hunger, desire, the whole bit.

He closes the gap between us and backs us to the bed where he pushes me down onto it. I lay on the bed and watch as he takes his pants off and slowly takes my panties off. He smiles at how wet they are. He sets them aside and settles himself between my legs. He takes my hands and pins them above my head.

"You're turn," he nips my ear and he slips inside me.

Info about applying to PhD programs in pure math

This is... basically what it sounds like. I’m sure a lot of this is applicable to other PhD applications but I’m only very familiar with pure math. This is aimed at current seniors about to apply, but there is a section about prepping for applications in advance.

The highlights:

Recommendation letters are the most important thing. Most schools ask for 3ish. Try to get people who know you well, not just a student in the class. Someone you've conducted research with and one from a different institution are ideal if possible

Ask for rec letters at least a month before the due date is a good rule of thumb.

Research experience is probably the second most important.

Get the opinion of multiple professors who know you in order to build a list of potential schools. Then widdle it down to your will-actually-apply list (probably 8-14 ish). 

My opinion but please apply to at least 3-4 safety/match schools. Even when you're fully qualified, acceptance rates are simply low enough that a bit of bad luck means getting rejected or waitlisted from a few of them.

Most pure math due dates are in early-mid Dec but a few schools are in Nov and some are as late as mid-Jan. 

Schools will generally have their own graduate application portals. Some are better organized than others. Some require you to submit all your material before you can send a request for submitting rec letters so plan accordingly.

Acceptance letters will very slowly start going out in mid-Feb but the vast majority of programs won't send out anything until like, March and not be done until later than that. Accordingly, wait until at least mid-March to begin freaking out if you haven't been accepted anywhere.

You should 100% be expecting a tuition waiver and stipend from a program if you're applying for a PhD.

The rest of the posts is.... ridiculously long so I’m putting it under a cut. I mention things to do in advance to help you decide if grad school is right for you and things that make your application look good, give a full time line of the process, a list of things applications commonly ask for, and some miscellaneous notes. (The points above are repeated in more detail).

In addition, some links to other resources math students may appreciate:

an old post of mine about grad school apps (overlaps a lot and features some ranting from during the application process)

about REUs including my addition specifically about math ones

summer programs for undergrads that aren’t REUs by @counter-example and @jungleuniversity

Tips for prospective grad student visits 

Also about prospective grad student visits by @thisurlhasbeenleftasanexercise

Also for context, I went to a large state school in the US for undergrad. I started as a CS major and added on math as a secondary major after my first year and dropped CS during third year. I’m primarily interested in discrete and algebra, though I have a significant topology background from undergrad too. I got most of my advice from people around the department, as I became pretty involved during my third year. Now, I’m a first year grad student at another large state school in the US, generally considered pretty decent though not a “top math program” at all. Not that much else has happened so far.

Things in advance (aka things to help you decide if grad school is for you and things that look good on an application)

Take the standard classes. For pure math, this is at least one semester of linear alg, abstract alg, and analysis each. Linear and analysis are also good for applied math but I'm not sure what else if anything is considered standard.

Take some grad classes if you have the option. Most people are not ready for this until senior year, but some do manage as juniors. Talk to people who know you well and the prof teaching the class before you do this though.

Try to get involved with research whether this is through independent studies at your home institution, REUs, internships, or other stuff.

Be involved in your department. This helps with getting you more personalized advice for applying.

The rough suggested timeline (assuming junior yr is your second to last year and senior is your last of undergrad)

Junior April: Take the math subject GRE so you can take it again in Sep or Oct if desired (perhaps not applicable atm). The general can be taken kinda whenever; I suggest fall of senior year.

Junior April/May: Start talking to professors/post docs/mentors/etc. about programs you may be interested in. Write/type it down. Don't worry if it gets long, you will shorten again later.

Summer: Do some research if possible; an REU or research at your institution (if an REU, also get your mentor's opinion on potential schools towards the end as well)

Senior Sep: Start whittling down your list. 8-14 seems to be the "normal" range of schools to apply to but some people panic and do more. Remember that asking for waivers is completely acceptable but applying is still just generally expensive (I spent around $800 for 10 schools)

Senior Sep: Apply for the NSF GRFP. You can apply as an undergrad senior and once during your first or second year of grad school if you didn't already get it. The due date is in mid-late OC but ideally you'll have a draft of your essays and ask for rec letters by the end of Sep, if not earlier.

Senior early Nov: Ask for rec letters if you haven't already. The rule of thumb is a month before the due date. Provide them a list of schools you want to apply to including due date and where/how to submit as soon as possible (as well as anything else they request of course; many ask for a resume and a draft of your personal statement).

Senior Dec-Jan: Submit stuff! Pure math programs typically have deadlines in Dec or early Jan. I think the big days are Dec 10th, Dec 15th, and Jan 15th but some are earlier or later. (applied math masters tend to be earlier I think; in Nov). I suggest putting them all into a list or calendar. In addition, some schools won't let letter writers submit until all of your stuff is submitted so start applications early, even if you don't finish them immediately.

Senior Feb: Programs will slowly start sending out offers in early Feb and pick up in mid Feb, but don't fret until AT LEAST the beginning of March! Grad programs are just way too slow at getting out offers for it to be worth worrying until then (and even then, it's definitely not time to panic but mathematicians are frequently anxious people so I get it). Waitlists are slower to come out; usually starting in early March. Also note, there are many programs that don't actually send out replies to everyone unfortunately.

Senior late Feb-early April: prospective student days! They might be online in 2021 unfortunately but try to attend whatever form they're in if you can (only one of my visits during spring 2020 was online since the others happen to be very early and safely beat covid in the US). Be warned, it's very possible to get offers of admissions and to visit very last minute. I do not have advice for how to make that less stressful.

Senior April 15th: Common reply deadline. If you got your offer in the first round or two, this is probably your deadline to accept. In addition, this means more offers will likely come out shortly after once more people have declined. 

Senior summer: graduate. Send a completed, official transcript to your new institution. Check your new email account for stuff you're suppose to do. Some programs have some sort of program during the summer for in-coming students. Most places have graduate student training of some sort for a week or two before semester starts. 

Some common things to be asked for in applications

Not actually a thing asked for but many graduate schools have their own portal for which you will have to make an account to submit an application. A few use a common system that kinda sort shares a database of accounts? Some are fine and some massively suck.

Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose: Occasionally called something else and once in a while actually separate things; will usually have a prompt of wildly differing specificity. Sometimes, the prompts come from the department itself and sometimes from the university's graduate school. I suggest having one or two "base" essays then tweaking them for each school. Sometimes a word/page limit is specified but if it's not, around 2 pages/1000 words is pretty reasonable.

Transcript. Some accept unofficial but some require official but generally not an unsealed one. I ordered myself one official transcript and sent it to multiple schools instead of paying for them to be sent to each school during the application process.

Resume or CV: Most ask for either a CV or is fine with either, in which case I give them my CV. I sent more or less the same one everywhere.

Some other notes

Yes, ask for application waivers. Just be polite about it.

Your goals for your essays are primarily to show that you're interested in math and math research and are capable of like…. writing things that make sense

Do not start out an essay with either "I loved math since I was little" or "I actually didn't like math when I was young" or any variations of those. (I had one essay that started with a mildly humourous anecdote from undergrad combinatorics and another that talked about how my undergrad department has greatly affected me).

You should 100% expect to get a tuition waiver and living stipend as part of a TA fellowship (or more rarely, an research fellowship) as part of your offer of acceptance for a math PhD program (pure or applied). Health insurance is also frequently part of the package. This is not true of masters programs unfortunately.

How schools do waitlists depend wildly though most don't have super long ones like prestigious undergrads do. If you're still interested in a place you're waitlisted at, follow their instructions to confirm your placement on the waitlist then wait until April before following up again, expressing your continued interest and asking for an update. You might even want to wait until around the common deadline, April 15th. The number of people who declined before April is just really really low so nothing really happens until then.

Pushkar - Most Sacred Dham For Hindus

Pushkar Old History

Pushkar is taken into consideration as one of the 5 sacred Dhams for Hindu Pilgrims. It is called the advent of Lord Brahma. It is thought that you'll acquire salvation via taking dip in holy Pushkar Lake.

It is the handiest 14 Kms far away from Ajmer City. It is separated from Ajmer via the Nag Parbat (The Snake Hill). There are very few temples of Lord Brahma inside the international and Pushkar has the maximum prominent temple in all. It is considered that one that has visited all 4 Dham (Badrinath in North, Dwarka in West, Jagannath Puri in East and Rameshwaram in South) but now not visited Pushkar will no longer be capable of obtaining salvation, it can be done only with the aid of taking a holy dip within the water of holy Pushkar Lake and traveling the Jagatpita Brahma Temple in Pushkar. Famous annual fair (Pushkar Camel Fair) held right here within the pious month of Kartika.

Pushkar Lake

Pushkar lake is one of the most sacred Sarovar of Hindus and considered as the introduction of Brahma Ji. This Lake is surrounded by way of many temples and ghats. It is thought that the holy water of the lake is having recuperation properties.

The legend associated with the Pushkar Lake or Pushkar Sarovar

As mentioned in Hindu scripture Padma Purana, devil Vajranabha become killing and harassing humans on earth. As Lord Brahma is the creator of the universe, he got aggressive and immediately tried to kill the satan Vajranabha with a weapon (Weapon of Lord Brahma is lotus flower). Devil Vajranabha destroyed by means of the Lotus flower however three lotus petals fell on this planet at extraordinary locations during this and holy springs emanates from earth. These holy springs fashioned three lakes - Jyeshta Pushkar Lake (finest or first Pushkar), Madhya Pushkar Lake (middle Pushkar), and Kanishta Pushkar Lake (youngest or closing Pushkar). Lord Brahma got here to the earth and specify the metropolis by naming it Pushkar (Pushpa approach flower and Kar means hand, as a result, Pushkar manner place wherein flower fell from Lord Brahma's hand). After killing devil Vajranabha, Lord Brahma wanted to execute a holy fireplace sacrifice (Mahayagna) at Jyeshta Pushkar Lake.

The Temple

It is the simplest temple of Lord Brahma, where a devotee can provide worship to him. The temple is built with stones and marbles. The indubitable capabilities of the temple are - It's crimson Shikhar (spire) and image of a Hamsa (a swan - the mount of Brahma). The Shikhar is ready 700 feet in top. The emblem of hamsa enhances the entrance gate. The temple is located on a high platform which may get admission via marble steps main to an entrance gate. The entrance gate is having a big arch that is embellished with pillared masking. Entry gate leads to a Mandap (pillared outside corridor) after which the Garbhagriha (sacred shrine). Many cash (specifically silver ) embedded at the marble floor and walls of the temple with the aid of the devotees. A silver turtle is within the mandap facing the Garbhagriha. The main murti also, known as Chahumurti is made from marble. This statue elaborates Brahma Ji seated in a crossed leg position thinking about the motive of the advent of the universe. This shape of Lord Brahma called the Vishvakarma. This icon is of life length with 4 hands and 4 faces, every symbolize a distinct path. The 4 palms maintain akshamala (rosary), pustak (e-book), Kurka (kusha grass), and kamandalu (water pot). Each has its own importance. Akshamala represents the time, pustak represents the expertise, Kurka represents the adoptions of a device of sacrifices for the life of numerous lifestyles-paperwork in nature and kamandalu represents the waters from which the universe emerged. In the temple, Goddess Gayatri located left to the Brahma ji and Goddess Saraswati to the proper. There are images of various God-Goddess, which embossed on temple partitions.

The Legends

Lord Brahma desired to perform his Mahaygna peacefully without being attacked with the aid of the devils, then he surrounds Pushkar by using the hills from all directions. He evolved — Ratnagiri in the south path, Nilgiri in the north direction, Sanchoora inside the west course, and Suryagiri inside the east path. Lord Brahma allocated precise locations to Gods in hills to keep the yagna from being broken or attacked with the aid of the Devils. Lord Brahma wanted to complete the yagna inauspicious time however Goddess Sarasvati could not make her presence at that point to carry out the essential part of the yagna referred to as Aahuti as she was anticipating her accomplice goddesses Lakshmi, Parvati, and Indrani. As Goddess Saraswati kept Brahma ji waiting, he gets aggravated and requested God Indra (the king of heaven) to find the appropriate woman for him, with whom he can wed and finish the yagna in a special auspicious time. At that time Lord Indra becomes capable of locating only a Gujar's daughter (a milkmaid) however in yagna's requirement is of purest lady like Goddess. Then Lord Indra requested her to pass through the body of a cow to get purified. The girl did the same and Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and the priests confirmed her purity and take into account her 2d start. She turned into the given name Gayatri. After purification Lord Brahma married Gayatri in presence of different Gods. Devi Gayatri sat beside him and start imparting Aahuti. When Goddess Sarasvati along with different Goddesses arrived at the yagna vicinity, she saw Gayatri sitting next to Brahma ji and he or she got dissatisfied as it becomes her rightful region. She cursed Lord Brahma within the presence of all God and Goddess that he would be forgotten and by no means worshipped by means of everybody on the planet.  That is why the Pushkar temple is accounted as the simplest temple which is especially committed to Lord Brahma for worship.

The Importance of Pushkar

As Mahayagna turned into accomplished within the presence of all God and Goddess, it's far believed that a dip within the holy lake at Pushkar will provide assured salvation from all sins and evil things. Pushkar Lake referred to as "Adi Tirtha" - "The unique sacred water-frame", in Ramayana and Mahabharata. There are five sacred serovars (lakes) as per Hindu non-secular notion that are called Panch-Sarovar and Pushkar is one in all them. It is believed that a dip within the holy lake on Kartik Poornima day equated to the blessings received through acting yagnas for several years.

Temples of Consorts

The temples constructed at the hills situated on the alternative ends of the lake. Goddess Sarasvati's temple placed at the very best hill (Ratnagiri Hil) inside the Pushkar and Goddess Gayatri's temple placed on the decrease hill on the other end. Goddess Gayatri fearful of the livid nature of Goddess Savatri's, so she stayed at decrease hill.

Mahadev Temple

This temple become built with the aid of marble inside the 19th century. It is famous for its 5 faces white marble icon of Mahadev(Shiv ji). The region is adorned by means of the statues of many Hindu God-Goddess. It is believed that Lord Mahadev satisfy all the needs in their devotee then and there on travelling the temple.

Varsha Temple

The Varah temple is one of the well-known temple of Pushkar. It was constructed in 12th century by means of king Anaji Chauhan but destroyed by using the intruders. It has icon of Lord Vishnu inside the incarnation of untamed boar. As per Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu came to earth within the incarnation of Varah to kill the Hiranyakashyup and to shop his devotee Prahlad from his atrocities. It changed into rebuilt in yr 1727 by using Raja Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur. It is an eminent temple which has elegant carvings, exceptional sculptures and delightful statues.

It is constructed within the regular South Indian Style Temple however on the same time it suggests the effect of Mughal structure on it. The temple has a high growing 'Gopuram', which usually located in a South Indian Temple. Temple may be very gracious and taken into consideration as one of the sacred temples of Pushkar.

Nag Hills

It is one of the oldest hills inside the international. As in line with belief, its height is lowering each day due to the fact it's far sinking into the earth. In Sat-yuga its height become ten crores yojanas , in Treta-yuga it was ten lakhs yojanas and in Dwapar-yuga it turned into 10000 yojanas. By the quit of Kali Yuga it'll almost disappear as believed. One who visited this vicinity never discover problem in lifestyles.
