Anonymous asked:
Are trans women women?
i'm assuming you're the same anon who sent 'are you trans exclusionary?' to me. i have not used this blog or even logged into this account in months, so i'm not sure what the point of this message was; it's definitely not something i haven't heard before. i have a comprehensive overview of my politics, including those towards gender expression vs biological sex, on my radfem blog vulvacrat under the pages 'aboutradfem' and 'mythbusting' if you're sincerely interested.i did say anyone is welcome to block me if my views made them uncomfortable. please keep any messages like these to my blog vulvacrat in order to keep this community apolitical

Midterms week is over but I still have one test left next week. I was actually very disappointed with my performance this time around. But I promised not to beat myself up and use this opportunity to push and work even harder. I just hope I can get back on track real soon. Lately I’ve been riding the bus as an alternative route because it helps me study more while in transit. Bus rides are so calming and sentimental especially after my night classes.

09•08•2016// my first spread for August, ft. my mini spree yesterday which made me broke now (totally did not spend money just to get a membership for the free birthday gift next month oops) 😢 went back to my old layout as i find that it’s easier for me. I didn’t post any of my July spreads as i was busy with work and hence the spreads are all ugly and plain 😂

Exam period tips: Revision methods
1) Flashcards : electronical or handwritten
2) Blank sheet method : 1 piece of paper 15 minutes.
3) Timeline: make a line and put in the different stages of development or plot development of a story. Be creative with this, it doesn’t just work in history class.
4) Mind maps: Start with the title, and build around it.
5) Illustrations: I always use illustrations or flowcharts to better remember the text. Maybe you can summarise the chapter in a drawing?
6) Post-it wall: this is great especially for memorisation. I like to put the post-its on the back of my door, and they kinda work like flashcards. Each morning look at the wall, explain every post it once, if your not sure, look at the back where I put the explanation. When you are certain you know the phrase, store the post-it on the side as a reminder of how much you know, and so that you can revise it at the end of the week.
7) Audio: listen to audiobooks about your subject, or just download the sound to that youtube video that explains it all.
8) The teacher: act like a teacher, and explain it to your study group, parents, friends, cat or just the wall. Talking out loud about a subject might expose your weak points and help you strengthen them.
9) Memory roads : MEMO, this is a concept I my grandmother loved to use, and introduced me to. Have a look at it : http://www.oby.no/whats-memo/?lang=en
my only advice for high school girls would be to get into fiona apple in 9th grade instead of the smiths

hi guys! ive been working on making a few mindfulness printables which i cant wait to share with you soon, but in the process i found these to-do list printables that i made a long time ago. i know that lots of to-do printables already exist but since i found them, there’s no harm in sharing them right?
anyways, here are the links for them:
pink version 2.pdf
blue version 2 .pdf
they are a4 but if you want to print them a bit smaller as a5 to fit in your planner, or anything like that, when you print, make sure the settings are set to 2 per page.
i hope some of you find these useful, let me know if you use them!

Small tips that make a (healthier) difference
Hey you! I dare you to try your best to follow this checklist tomorrow! But hey! Not so fast. Why not try it again the next day (and every day after that)? Sometimes it’s the smaller changes that can in fact help improve our health and wellbeing, especially when we think we’re short of time. School stressing you out? Everything is going to be ok. Try a few little things here. Tick everything off that you completed! Tell me how it goes for you!
This was a spontaneous post and I’ve found that I’ve been making errors in my posts recently! Plz correct me bc I am an egg. Hope u like it anyway.
Morning:
- Wake up as soon as you do naturally or when your alarm goes off. Make your bed! Open the blinds!
- Get out of bed and s t r e t c h – all the way from the very tips of your fingers to the tips of your toes. (Trust me, this feels good)
- Set your intention for the day. This might be weird for some, but try it. Example: Today I will be productive. I will be focused on my tasks and I will take the time to relax when needed. It doesn’t have to be as complicated – Example 2: I can do this. Remind yourself again.
- Eat breakfast. A MUST. Try my favourite: eggs (poached, scrambled or fried) on toast with avocado or baked beans. Yes. We are on a roll today.
- Drink one full glass of water within the hour of waking (don’t down it all in one go though!).
- Add 1/8 of a lemon to this. Lemon is great to alkalise the body and getting that digestive system of yours goin! This will flush out toxins in the body and support your immune system too!
- Side note: Wait half an hour before brushing your teeth after this (or maybe do it before) because lemons are acidic after all and can probably do some damage to your shiny whites.
- Try having a water bottle by your bedside and beside you throughout the day as a constant reminder to drink water as you see it. Trust me, this has helped improve my water intake a lot.
- Organise your day. What are your plans? What are of priority and what are not? Try brain dumping this, and then organising each task/item into a list, categorised in importance. This will help decrease stress throughout the day and easy referral back to this list.
- Dress in some lovely clothes! Your fave sweater and some cool black tights? 100%!! What about that pretty skirt you like with a nice top? HECK YEAH!!!
Midday:
- Lunchtime! Eat again. Wholesome foods are an absolute must whenever you can.
- Aim for 3-4 cups of water by lunchtime (inclusive of the glass of lemon water you had this morning).
- Remember that intention you set this morning? Say it again.
- Throw a compliment at someone. Be genuine. This will have a butterfly effect. If someone throws one at you to – don’t disagree! Say thank you. You rock, don’t doubt that.
- Are there any ticks beside those tasks on your checklist from this morning? I hope so!
- Throw in a random burst of exercise! In public too – who cares! Pick one of these: 50 starjumps! 3 sets of 10 squats! A quick walk around outdoors!
Arvo (/Afternoon… Straya):
- Hit that 3pm slump? Same. Here are a few ideas to get you going, especially coming home from a long day:
- NAP! 15-20 mins. No longer. No less. Be strict here or your sleep pattern might go funny and we don’t want that. (And groggy headaches are gross)
- Exercise! This is so fundamental to our health and wellbeing. Try out short pilates videos (no equipment) here (that as living proof, work) or some really cool yoga videos here, here, and here. Yoga is great. Try this daily. Or take a brisk walk for 30 minutes = wake up your brain, pick up your mood AND burn some fat. C’mon, go get your shoes!
- Have a healthy snack, such as those listed in this great post by @tbhstudying. Get your brain and bod going, my friends!
- Write down your to do list for any work, study or event related things that you need to complete this afternoon. Set out all your equipment, sort out your papers from the day and get organised!
- Clear your (bedroom/bed/desk/floor/work/closet) space for 5 minutes every day. I’m guessing that you’ve started to pile a few things here like I do. This will save you time and help maintain cleanliness, staving away from the complicated stress that comes from having to reorganise just about everything which we all know to hate when we’re busy with other things.
- Have you had your 5th and 6th cups of water of the day yet? Get to it!
- Sit up straighter and you’ll look more confident and feel more confident. Your back will also be very grateful for this.
Night:
- Continue all your extra to-dos. Get this done. You can do it!
- Make sure to put something in your body guys. I’m talking food here by the way… don’t let that sentence mislead you! This is especially important for those of you probably thinking “I’ll just eat later” or “I’m not hungry”. Eat. EAT NOW. PleASE.
- Spend some quality time with your family. How’s their day been? Tell them about yours too.
- Glasses of water No. 7, 8 and beyond should be here.
- Prep your meals, lists, notes, outfits, etc. for the next day. Getting these things sorted now will help you get it out of the way and save you time!
- Settle down a little. It’s time to wiiiind doooooooownnn. Read a book. Scroll through Tumblr (aaayeee!) – but not too deep into the pits okay guys. Watch a little TV.
- I know a lot of posts say to switch off 1-2 hours before bed. If you’re literally glued to your electronics, try switching off 5 minutes earlier every day and replace that with something else. What about doing your prep items for the next day (listed two points back!!)? Or, do get those pesky chores out the way.
- Side note: Cleaning your room often will help freshen it, get rid of itchy dust and decrease the chances of bugs and other smol random things to crawl around your room. (If that’s not a little motivation then I’m not sure what is…). It’ll also keep your space maintained so you don’t have to do it all at once. *Shudders* Plus the likelihood of those gross germs from the world hanging around and building up in there is a no-no.
- Sleep! 7-8 hours. Your body will thank you for it. CRUCIAL for healthy brain and body function. Plus your mood and skin will improve (i.e. gOODBYE EYEBAGS and hELLO GLOWING SKIN).
- Side note: I see you reading this at 12am when you should be sleeping. I see you.
I hope this has helped you guys a little or at least inspired you to make a small change to your daily routine! Try doing a few items here (e.g. glass of lemon water, sitting up straighter, 8+ cups of water) and record this on a habit tracker! The smallest changes often have the greatest effects!
Don’t forget to let me know how you go.

I’m sure we all know how tricky time management and productivity can be, and also how crucial it is so be good at it to succeed. So, I’d like to share a strategy of effectively managing all of those tasks you have at hand!
Introducing Dwight Eisenhower, 34th president of the United States. He lived a super productive life, and during his presidency he implemented many transformational programs including NASA and the Atomic Energy act. Before then, he was a 5 star general in the US army, serving as the supreme commander, he was also the president of Columbia University… I could go on.
My point is, he did all of this while still having time for personal interests and hobbies like painting and golfing. He was amazing at time management, and his most famous method of handling tasks, is called the Eisenhower Matrix.
It’s a method of prioritising and sorting out your to-dos based on urgency and importance.
It is super helpful is making us question what is important and actually necessary to do. I think that we often fill up our time with tasks that do not help us in reaching our core goals, and this method helps us narrow down our todos, saving us from wasting time, energy, and resources.
The 2nd and 3rd quadrant (not urgent important, urgent-not important) is what really minimises our productivity, if not properly managed and scheduled
I personally think its a fairly good way of understanding all that you have to do, what you should do first, and how you can deal with the rest. You don’t have to necessarily plan everything out this way, but its a good mindset to adopt when managing your workload.
I’m so so awful at being concise (I’m so sorry for the long post!!) But I help this has helped you guys. Hopefully I’m going to post a printable of the matrix in the near future, so keep an eye out for that :)
What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important. -Dwight Eisenhower
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS I JUST LOVE YOU
It’s Ya Girl’s College Scholarship Masterpost
Hello internet civilians! As some of you may or may not know, my name is Dana and I am a high school senior that is ALWAYS on the prowl for trying to get to college for as cheap as possible. I’ve come across 1000′s of scholarships that I simply don’t qualify for, so I thought “hey, why not share these with random people on the internet that don’t know where to start?” You asked the question and only answers you shall receive.
Please remember to credit me for this masterpost because I spent a lot of time and energy on it :)
PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT A SCHOLARSHIP IS WORTHLESS IF YOU DO NOT APPLY FOR IT.
SO DO NOT JUST SAVE THIS POST IN YOUR DRAFTS AND NEVER USE IT. ACTUALLY WRITE AN ESSAY OR FOUR

guide to the perfect day
i always see ’ guides to the perfect morning ‘ or ‘ guides to the perfect night ‘ but never one where it encompasses the whole day and thus i decided to make one !!
note :
i use the term ‘perfect’ very loosely and what you find a perfect day may not be the same as me but i hope you enjoy this post nonetheless : )
also, this is more for the weekends and holidays as i didn’t include a school time period hehe
MORNING :
wake up by 0730 am
- our bodies are programmed to rise with the sun and thus this is an ideal waking up time
- besides, waking up earlier means that you have more time in the day to do the things that you want
- try not to linger too much and just turn off your alarm and jump straight out of your bed
- do try to make your bed as as the saying goes : messy bed, messy head
get ready between 0730 am to 0845 am
- try to have a morning routine as having a routine at the start of the day will help set the tone for the rest of your day
- if you want an extra jolt of energy, try showering with cooler water
- also try to go out for a run or walk ( just try to be active right in the morning )
have your breakfast between 0845 am to 0930 am
- don’t skip breakfast !! it is the most important meal of the day and it gives you the boost of energy that you need to jump-start your day
- try to opt for healthier and more nutritious options such as oats or cereal
work between 0930 am to 1230 pm
- get into the habit of doing productive things in the morning this is as our bodies are at it’s peak performance and concentration
- during this time, i like to do the heavier tasks such as writing essays
- it is important to take short but frequent breaks !! ( try the pomodoro method )
AFTERNOON :
lunch break 1230 pm to 0200 pm
- try consuming healthier food as it has been proven that our bodies are naturally inclined to be tired after lunch time thus try to avoid sweet or starchy food as they would make you even more lethargic
- take this time to relax, maybe call up a friend to have lunch and do some catching up
start your day over 0200 pm to 0215 pm
- as inspired by this post, re-evaluate your day at 2 pm
- use this time to go through what you need to accomplish, what have you done and what you need to do
do your digital work 0215 pm - 0415 pm
- as previously established, our bodies tend to be more sluggish after lunch, so i like to schedule my less taxing tasks here
- take this time to go through your emails and start with your digital work ( i.e writing blog posts / coding / designing with photoshop etc )
- i use cold turkey so that i can be the most productive and wouldn’t waste this time on instagram or tumblr
nap 0415 pm - 0445 pm
- a nap in the middle of the day has been shown to be beneficial to our bodies
- however, the length of it is very important. keep it to 20 - 30 mins as this will allow for energy boost while preventing the feeling of grogginess when you wake up
finish up any incomplete tasks 0445 pm - 0700 pm
- it is nearing the end of the day so it’s time to wrap up any unfinished tasks
NIGHT :
dinner time 0700 pm to 0815 pm
- try to eat a smaller portion of food as it’s the end of the day, your metabolism rate will slow down and you wouldn’t want to go to bed feeling bloated right?
freshen up 0815 pm - 0900 pm
- after a long day of work, it is important to wash up and freshen up
- if there’s time, do take the time to pamper yourself a little ( maybe do a hair mask or face mask or both!! )
rest and relax 0900 pm - 1000 pm
- take this time to completely relax
- watch your favourite shows or youtubers
no digital devices hour 0900 pm - 1000 pm
- it has been shown that the blue light emitted from our screens can prevent the production of melatonin, which is a hormone that is responsible for making us feel sleepy
- thus an hour before bed time, try avoiding any digital devices
- instead, spend the time planning your outfits for the next day, packing your bag, meal prep or even just reading a book
lights out 1100 pm
- to ensure that you have an adequate amount of sleep, try to go to sleep lastest by 11pm
- you can use a sleep tracker to tracker your sleep
- personally, i use the sleep cycle app which not only tracks my sleep but also has an alarm that wakes me up when i’m in my lightest phase of sleep
TADAH! that’s a perfect from day to night schedule that i would ideally follow
here’s a mini summary of how much time is spent doing what :
sleep : 8.5 hrs
doing work : 7 hrs 15 mins ( 2 hrs of digital work + 5 hrs 15 mins of work )
resting : 1.5 hrs
get ready / freshening up : 2 hrs ( 1 hr 15 mins in the morning + 45 mins at night )
eating : 3.5 hrs ( 45 mins breakfast + 1.5 hr lunch + 1 hr 15 mins dinner )
other : 1 hr 15 mins ( 1 hr no digital time + 15 mins re-evaluating your day )
wooh ! i hope you enjoyed reading this post hehe
