Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but do you have any advice or resources you could point me to about being a spoonie or having low energy and practicing divination, like tarot? I've been having a hard time lately energy-wise, and wanted to ask

Hello! I have a couple posts that you may find helpful :)

First of all, this masterpost has all of my spoonie witchcraft posts linked in it:

This post is all about divination:

This one features some divination with limited movement:

Those two are my main posts that have divination in them but I do recommend perusing the masterpost I linked above, there’s a lot of resources there and many of them have contributions from some fabulous blogs!

#mouse squeaks #changelingchild #(also side note for other folks if you’ve sent me an ask that requires more energy than a couple links I’m not sure if you’ll get an answer #I’m working an incredibly draining job 45+ hours a week with 15-20 hours of commuting mixed in there as well. just doing my best #and mostly on tumblr to restock my queue for y’all)

CARMEN SANDIEGO (2019) + locations: Stockholm, Poitiers, and the Austrian Alps [7/?]

#my post #screencap #carmen sandiego 2019 #cs 2019 trivia #backgrounds #plus location IDs (or best guesses thereof) if you click the ALT! #edit: despite working at the Interpol bureau ID'd in S1 as being in Paris #Devineaux does /not/ look to have actually moved to Paris bc (as per S2E10) he shaves off his post-island beard in the same bathroom #as the one from which the Cleaners kidnapped him - which was def in Poitiers. so he IS making the 2h commute to/from Paris #which i suppose would at least have given him lots of time to think about how to use those shipping records to find VILE? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #also i've been sticking all the location/reference/nifty details i've picked up in the 'cs 2019 trivia' tag #for anyone else who likes playing 'Name That Landmark' when watching the show XDD #nixariel

yeah so regarding the shit ive been posting about lately: i am safe, i am okay, im staying with family for a little while until its safe to return to school and move dorms. i appriciate all the support and its been a really tough few weeks, but im really trying my best to keep my head up. i love you all.

#im very lucky in that my grandmother lives in a city that i can get to entirely through public transport #its still like a two hour commute with switching trains and stuff but its something i can do immediatly so i was able to drop everything as #soon as i made the descion with my parents and therapist. #this is kind of the best possible choice in keeping myself safe. its just also perhaps the scariest and hardest option. its not the worst #case scenario its the nightmare scenario. im still wrapping my head around all this #i was pretty far in denial about just how bad things were but this is really all i can do

Rolling around a modern au where Ingo never got yeeted to Hisui and Akari still isn't dawn, but she does look an incredible amount like her. Akari works at gear station with the twins and bc she looks like dawn people often mistake her for the Sinnoh champ. Akari is the youngest of the gear station crew so everyone is constantly looking out for "the baby" (affectionate) Making sure the baby has her lunch, making sure the baby has all her hygiene needs, keeping the baby safe from people who want dawn's autograph or a battle. Akari left her family at the first chance, so the support of the gear station crew means everything to her. Maybe someone, a leftover from team galactic or team plasma, mistakes her for Dawn and thinks they'll get revenge on her and abduct her. Except they made a mistake, because they took gear station's baby and there will be hell to pay.

#Dad Ingo #PLA Akari #PLA #Gear station #Pokemon #Look work families are everything to me #Not just bc I'm union but when you have the BEST work family??? #It really changes how you feel going into work #Even if you're dreading a shift you know you've got support and you can handle it #I like to see gear station as one big family and ofc Akari (and Rei? Maybe her twin?) become part of it #Ingo hovers like a dad and Emmet takes them for joy rides #Laventon is a professor who is a frequent commuter and excitedly babbles on to Rei and Akari about pokemon #To the point they have to remind him he's about to miss his train #gear station family au

it’s literally raining all week and i’m so miserable bc driving in the rain is literally the most unpleasant and stressful thing to me and everyone tells me im dramatic and it’s not that bad but it makes me upset driving in the rain i just want to curl in bed and sleep as the rain hits my window is that too much to ask :,)

#i’m not dramatic it’s #very very stressful driving in the rain #well #when it’s heavy rain #light rain is like #a mild inconvenience at best #but it’s decently heavy all week #that means i’ll have to drive slow and i already have a long commute as is so i’ll have to leave extra early and #being on time is something i also stress over so #yeah #very stressful week for me and my lil anxious mind

I love writing.

I love creating stories. I love making characters and I love seeing them form personalities as the story evolves. I love pointless world-building and making the tectonic plates of a fictional world. I love strange new plans and creatures. I love. Writing.

I love hearing the pen squeak as I write, I love hearing the keyboard doing the clickity-clackity as I type. I love my fingers being in pain after a long session.

I love getting stuck on a scene. I love finding the solution. I love deleting paragraphs and how better the re-write is.

I fucking love writing. Be it fanfic or original works. I fucking love writing. Good or bad. I love it. To death and back.

#writing #personal #sorry #just #i was thinking on the commute and then during the 2nd work #and yeah #i might be a mediocre writer at best but i'll be damned if i ever let that stop me from creating #fucking love writing

There’s a new interview with both Nino and Nico that aired yesterday here, but I’m geoblocked from watching it, but I was able to find this golden nugget featuring giggly Nico Hischier and his favorite cheese on Instagram, so enjoy!

#Nico Hischier #Nino Niederreiter #New Jersey Devils #Winnipeg Jets #NJ Devils #Devils #apologies for all the horrid background stuff #I tried my best on my commute in to the office #I’m mostly sharing so people can GIF Nico laughing and smiling and showing off his dimples

#it’s ruined me in the best way 🥰 #miss those berlin boys #recs #milex fanfiction #mine #< fic ain’t mine but this is my tag for my text posts sorry #was listening to it on my work commute and i can’t think of anything other than that small flat in berlin

apartment hunting in this city sucks

#i don't even know what neighborhood is good #and i wanna live somewhere close to public transit that would make my work commute not to bad #AND walkable #looking at slu but idk if thats best #girl help #i make enough that stuff isn't *prohibitively* expensive but its still pretty bad

[aeongy]

I’m so convinced that when I move next week my depression will magically disappear and I will become the most balanced and joyful person ever

#I KNOW that’s not how it’s gonna be #however #I do associate literally my worst and most suicidal time with my current apartment #and I am doing way WAY better now like still depressed but it’s gonna be alright :) #SO YEAH maybe moving will fix everything #or at least all the stuff that’s driving me crazy rn #like my unhinged neighbors and my messy flatmate and my stupid commute #I’m literally gonna live on the same street as one of my best friends #once I move I can also focus more on academics again #like applying to get that romanian culture studies certificate haha #anyway….just had to write that all down before going to bed now :) life is ok actually

[tragedyposting]

I wish you could arrange google maps results by shortest transit commute. It’s going to take me so long to figure out what fabric stores I can get to without a car when I’m sure google maps could cook up a sorting algorithm easily. Anyone know anything that does this?

#alternatively any best recommendations for fabric stores in Manhattan #bc while it may not be the closest commute it’s often the simplest commute #third option who wants to drive me to the fabric store lol #rebecca rambles

I think I may need to lower my standards orz

#the three things I'm going to have to think about compromising on: pay. location. industry. #the problem is that the best-paying industry in NYC is obviously finance. And that means private equity and hedge funds. #which are patently evil #so like. I don't want to work in that industry #but my skillset won't get a living wage (for NYC) in other industries #so I have to either bite the bullet and work on LI (I'd really rather not) work for an evil industry (GOD no) or #get a wage low enough that I'll have to continue living with my parents indefinitely and commute four or five hours a day #personal #vent post #job hunting

when i used to work in the depressing labor violations themed factory place around really loud machines and i had to wear earmuffs and i got the factory worker earmuffs with secret bluetooth speakers inside. and i was depressed and wanted to die for 8 hours every single fucking day for minimum wage. well oh boy my spotify playlists were so fucking fire back then <3

#i couldnt fuck with my phone so i had to sit down beforehand and make the best no skips playlists. it was life or death. #and it made great playlists #i just dont have the same pressure on me anymore #my car allows me to skip songs so my commute playlists are eh. they are fine.

The only language studying advice I’ve got that matters much, as in isn’t take or leave (because most advice really depends on the person and their preferences for how to study), is this:

if you study for enough cumulative hours, and are regularly spending study time on some new material that is requiring you to learn something (compared to picking 1 study material and reviewing it but never ever moving onto a new material with unknowns you must learn), you will make progress. 

Most people, eventually, will move onto studying something regularly challenging them with new material to learn. Usually when they realize they weren’t learning anything new long enough. (I’m a perfectionist so I perhaps realize slower than some people when I’m reviewing material to the point of refusing to move onto new challenging material that would provide more to new stuff to learn). So for the most part, as long as you just study Enough Hours, you will eventually make progress. 

There’s no fancy perfect or ‘better’ study method. Maybe there is for you personally. So it could be fun to explore various study methods. But in the end it mostly comes down to time spent studying. So WHATEVER study methods are ones you can do, and keep getting yourself to do, are the BEST ones for you to make progress with. (And its fine to change study methods if it gets you to KEEP studying). Because in the end, its going to be hundreds or thousands of hours you just need to spend reviewing what you’ve learned by practicing with it, and studying new stuff to increase what you know.

People like to argue sometimes that textbook study is best, or classroom study, or tutors, or immersion, flashcards, mnemonics, context learning, drills, audio lessons, etc. Pick whatever you can stick to, change it if you realize now you can get yourself to Do something else easier. If textbooks are something you get yourself to do, then do them. If you refuse to open textbooks you buy, then use something you WILL use more often. Whatever you pick will work if you put in the study hours. 

TLDR: the best study methods for YOU are the ones you will do, because the amount of total study time you put in is the biggest thing influencing if you make progress. 

Don’t worry too much about if your study method is perfect or if another would be ‘better.’ If you feel like switching it up, have fun. If you feel a method you’d hate looks effective, if you won’t do it then it wouldn’t be effective anyway.

*Note: if you have perfectionist tendencies or tend to stick to trying to master current materials (my worst tendency), my personal suggestion is maybe try to make sure 50% of your study time is spent on something containing Something new and challenging. To make sure you’re regularly making some progress in learning new material. (Examples: if you have read a graded reader then listening to the audiobook would provide at least 1 new thing to challenge yourself and learn - listening skills of those words you read, if you find a new novel chapter with mostly known words but a few new ones - it has some new words to learn and new sentences combinations of words you know, if you are listening to review of something you entirely know and can comprehend in listening then consider trying to shadow the audio so you can challenge yourself with new pronunciation practice, and of course stuff like reading a book/watching a show with a bunch of new words or having a conversation in a new topic would contain new challenging material to learn). 

#rant #90% of reddit language forums drama comes down to the arguement of what works 'best' #in reality most people who fail to learn a language fail because they give up before they put 500 hours - 2500 hours into it #so the most important factor of if you will succeed if if you will simply KEEP studying #so pick whatever you'll keep doing! #classrooms/tutors work well for people who like to be held accountable by a teacher #learning by context works well for me because it requires me to run into new material to learn and lets me learn by Doing which is what i #personally prefer. audio lessons work GREAT if you listen to stuff a lot while commuting/exercising #drills work Great if you do them! its just some people refuse to do them so of course they wouldnt work if you arent doing them #learning by reading works but only if you WILL read the amount it requires #and i only mention the *must regularly study something new* part #because as a perfectionist. in japanese i literally reviewed 300 kanji for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT refusing to study anything else out of fear #i wasnt prepared for ANYTHING else until i MASTERED the 300 basic kanji #so u know what happened? i only learned the 300 kanji. nothing else. in tons of hours. in at LEAST 700 hours of study #in retrospect. i know i could have learned at least 2000 words. at least 1000 kanji. at least basic reading ability with a dictionary #in 700 hours. if i had actually regularly been studying new challenging material as at least 50% of my study time #so as a person with perfectionist tendencies. i personally need 50% or more of all study time to always have SOME new content to learn
