I’ve been collecting pdfs over the years and I put them all in this google drive folder. I divided them into literature and theory and then by language: english, spanish, basque, italian, portuguese, turkish, russian and french.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with a FP?

Absolutely, yes! This is a list of how I manage that. Keep in mind that everyone is different and if certain things don't work for you, that's completely valid.

Please see this post if you aren't sure what a FP is.

One of the first things is that even though it may be uncomfortable, diversify your relationships! Have different people that you have different similarities with. For example, maybe you really love a certain show, well making friends in the fandom might be a way to have someone to talk to about that interest.

Focus on your own hobbies. It's important to try and find a way to be happy on your own.

Practice your DBT skills. There are so many different skills useful for different situations. Here is a page I am working on of definitions of different skills. If one skill doesn't work for you, please don't give up on DBT skills. I've tried a lot of different skills, and a lot of them don't work for me but some work really well.

Focus on keeping the relationship mutual. By this I mean make sure that you’re respecting their boundaries, consent and meeting their needs too (as long this doesn’t infringe on your own. If your needs conflict, that’s a bit more complicated and may require compromise.)

Teach yourself not to rely solely on them. It's important to work on things where you don't feel abandoned when they can't give you their attention. (This is where DBT skills are likely to come in handy.)

Work on your self-soothing. If your brain spirals that they don't care, work on curbing impulses associated with that(hint check out my urge surfing post here). Don't send them messages like "clearly you don't care!" Here are some tips for self-soothing that I've written about in the past.

Communicate directly. Don't hint at things. This can be exhausting, and frustrating to the other person. I know we feel awkward asking for things, but trust me that from being on the other end of this as well, I feel so much better if someone asks me directly.

Make sure your expectations are realistic. If you find your expectations are not being met, rather than getting angry at your FP try and step back and see if your expectations are realistic. If you determine they are, try and proceed with communicating with your FP when you're feeling calm.

Be willing to apologize and admit when you're wrong. This goes without saying, but people mess up. People make mistakes. And you aren't bad if that happens. But it's important to be able to acknowledge that and apologize to the other person without excuses.

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but I hope this helps!

Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books  that I try to update regularly

As much as I do love the ‘SpaceX is just burning money for no reason, Elon Musk is personally designing these rockets badly, the whole company is a joke, Elon’s going to blow up on his way to Mars’ banter, I think it’s important to reckon with the actual reality of SpaceX as a military contractor.

Their ‘Starship’ is not, and never was designed to fly to Mars - that’s a marketing scheme, and it makes no sense if you actually look at the vehicle. SpaceX is able to throw money at this project because they’ve got a military contract to produce it as a military cargo drone. Their ‘Starship’ is designed to deliver a C-130′s load of US military cargo to anywhere in the world within an hour.

SpaceX, from before its first ever launch, has been partnered with the US military - as noted in the incident where the company stranded its workers without food on an island owned by the US Army. SpaceX’s constant failures with their rocket come from a simple calculation - cost versus time. To slowly and methodically design a rocket such that, by your first test flight, you’re confident in it, is just that: slow. Blowing up rocket after rocket and iterating is fast, but expensive - but when you have military contractor money, it’s worth it.

This is far from SpaceX’s only time contracting for the military, having launched military payloads with their Falcon rockets, and even designed satellites for the military. There’s a reason only USAmerican citizens are allowed to work at SpaceX.

The image of SpaceX as an eccentric billionaire’s quest to colonise Mars serves as a marketing ploy which distracts from the company’s real existence as part of the US military industrial complex, beholden not to the Reddit-fueled whims of an egocentric moron, but to the massive economic and structural forces of modern capitalism.

how i take pretty and efficient notes ☕️

*disclaimer: what works for me may not work for you! this is just a process i’ve discovered through trial and error*

math / science

if you’re like me and need color in your notes, here’s how i do it:

i write the header of the notes in a colored highlighter - no fancy calligraphy or anything

i use color for things like important symbols on figures or lines on a graph

to save time, i write the whole thing in pen/pencil first and go back and add highlights according to the key i made

i make a basic key i can stick to !! ^ 

for example, concepts can be highlighted, formulas can be boxed, examples can be underlined, etc.

whenever i go through example problems in my notes, i always write down the steps next to it so i don’t forget

when studying - i always make a small reference sheet where i write all the formulas / conversions / how to do certain processes from memory the day before the test

history

i use the cornell method! if you’re not sure what that is, here’s a link explaining

i also use colors as well:

one basic color for writing my notes in 

one color for key concepts or events that come attached with a date

one color for key people / organizations / groups

this is just me because i do my notes digitally and like variety ™, but one color for every separate textbook heading (not to be confused with subheadings)

absolutely do not restate the textbook - try your best to put it into your own words

when studying - i’ve recently got into the habit of making an events timeline so i can easily reference them in dbqs or saqs, and just merely taking notes on the textbook helps me remember some random bits of information

Lost and Found Library

Hey Tumblr, decided to share a fun google drive I have with you all. I came across a thumb drive full of ebooks maybe two years ago at college? And before turning it in, I converted all the files to a personal google drive. 

Let me know if this link still works, but have at it. I love the variety the OG owner accumulated in their library.
