🎀 How To Exude Quiet Confidence 💖✨

YOU are consuming media. I’m letting it consume me

So true. And a lot of them use translating devices, which do not directly translate what they are saying, and therefore they do not properly communicate to their partners.

love/hate watching 90 day fiance "the other way" because you get to see americans fully living in foreign countries for 1+ year or dating their partner for up to 5 and they still cannot manage the most bare bones conversation in their partner's native language and are sitting there like sentient rocks during important family conversations going "what did he say? what did she say?" like you don't think this maybe has something to do with why your relationship is crumbling. lol. lmao.

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

The Conversation

Explainer: what is citizen science?

Public participation in science is increasing, and citizen science has a central part in this. It is a contribution by the public to researc

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

Hello, I'm auditioning for the role of Charlie Dompler and I'll be singing "Timber" by Pitbull and Ke$ha.

What if I make a Ava Orlova RP blog…?

She’s a character from a Black Widow book series.

If you want to be an ally to the Jewish people, you’d better be ready to fight the antisemitism faced by all Jews.

Zionist Jews. Anti- and non-Zionist Jews. Observant Jews. Secular Jews. Israeli Jews. Ashkenazi Jews. Sephardic Jews. Mizrahi Jews. Beta Israeli Jews. Desi Jews. Convert Jews. White-passing Jews. Jews of color. Visibly-Jewish Jews. Queer Jews. Left-wing Jews. Right-wing Jews. Patrilineal Jews.

We are one people, and if you only fight antisemitism when it targets the Jews you like, you’re not actually an ally of the Jewish people.

Mirabel & Vanellope

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading this!

My boyfriend and I have added to our Disney Descendants multi-crossover AU.

In addition to our original characters, we have established a timeline for the AU, and changed up the backstories of canon characters, one example being Vanellope Von Schweetz.

In our Disney Descendants AU, Vanellope Von Schweetz is actually Vanessa Madrigal, as she is Mirabel Madrigal's daughter. "Vanellope Von Schweetz" is her screen name. She was born right between Belle and the Beast's wedding and the formation of Auradon, making her, according to the timeline of our AU, three-and-a-half years older than Prince/King Ben(her exact date of birth is November 27, 1995) . She is one of a set of triplets, and she has two brothers. I will elaborate about them in another post.

She is one of the very first graduates/alumni of Auradon Prep(Class of 2014). At the time of the Descendants franchise, she is in university, studying mechanical engineering.

I will provide details of the events of the Wreck It Ralph movies in our AU in another post.

Thank you for reading my post and have a nice day or night!

I knew the movie was gonna be a flop when I saw who the cast were. Colleen should’ve got upcoming small cast to play the characters and do justice with it. Serena didn’t. She made it all about herself, me me meeee. The whole thing was a pr mess and I look at Blake very differently now.

Yes! The casting pissed me off but then I was starting to like Justin as Ryle but Blake as Lilly. NO WAY! She took the press tour as an opportunity to boast about her style, she saw how much love Margot got and wanted that. I don’t think she realised though that the entire cast of barbie had so much love and respect for each other and they LOVED their director and would sing her praises all the time. Blake took something that meant sooo much to Justin and made it all about her self. And the fashion choices of the film which she can’t seem to shut her trap about are the worst parts of the film. Lilly’s wardrobe is HIDEOUS.

saw this on Instagram and just HAD to share😭

“she’s surviving thunderbolts!” me and the four other antonia dreykov fans scream as we are dragged away to the padded room
