Hello geologists of tumbler... could you please tell me what this rock is... I'm thinking it is obsidian, but I'm not sure. There is a whole bunch of it in my back yard and just curious what it is. Plz and Thx

[anjutaylor]

hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak

[anjutaylor]

I'd also like to add anyone on the ace/demi spectrum... or really anyone who is lgbt but has no specific lable, love who u love fam. Also include non POC and hetros, EVERYONE is welcome here.

Hey reblog this if you’re an lgbtq person who is:

inclusive of ALL. (Bisexuals, Transgender peeps/gender noncomforming people, pansexual people, and asexual people.

Okay with the word queer

POC

I’m honestly so tired of people telling who can and cant be queer and fighting over every little thing. I know that the community is bigger than Tumblr and white 19 year olds who wanna yell at me for my identity, but it’s really discouraging when I go in the queer tag and just see paragraphs of discourse. I’m too old for this shit. I just wanna be proud and uplift ALL of my queer people. 💘💛💚💙💜❤

[anjutaylor]

I always thought it was cute that my grandma was more open to lgbt than youth trends. I once brought over a friend who was trans, and she was perfectly fine with it.She even use his pronouns when my mom made a point to call him "her" and calling him by his dead name, blatenly being transphobic. But my grandma was fully accepting... but in the same sentance, she would be like " Ya, I don't mind if your transgender, it doesn't affect me, as long as your happy, you will grow to be a nice you man.... but....WHY WOULD U HAVE HOLES IN YOUR JEANS?! WHY??!!!"

Tips on being productive after suffering a loss

Today there is no 100 days of productivity from me, simply because I Just can’t work right now. You see, my Grandma died recently, and we were pretty close, and the loss has been hard for me. So I thought, that it would be a good idea to give some tips to stay at least somewhat productive whilst grieving.

-          It’s first best to note that everyone grieves differently, and it changes throughout the grieving process. Some days you will just sleep through the day, others you will be angry or depressed, other days you will be so hyperactive that you can’t sit down long enough to think, and some days you will just be numb. It’s best to recognize how you are grieving per day, and gauge your ability to do things.

-          Do what you can. If you are having a hyperactive day, and need to keep yourself busy, get as much work as you can do. Nothing is worse that having something due on a day when you literally cannot do anything. It’s best to work ahead, than get behind.

-          That being said, if the death or loss is to be expected, prepare ahead. With the situation with my grandma, she was in her final stages of COPD and was on Hospice. We knew she has only weeks to live, then, as the days passed I could see her deteriorate to the point where I was literally watching her every breath. When you know you will be losing someone soon, prepare yourself. Not just mentally, but get any possible stressors out of the way. Work ahead for all the work you know will be due soon, clean up the house, even go as far as to prepare some meals and freeze them ahead of time. Trust me, do as much as you can to make things easier on yourself.

-          TALK TO YOUR PROFESSORS!!! I cannot express this enough. Let them know what’s going on, and if they are decent human beings, they will understand. If you have to miss a few days, do it. If you need to ask for an extension of a deadline, do it. Sometimes, your professors, if they are more personable, will open their office hours up to you to talk, or to help you find some resources to help you cope. One of my professors actually gave me a few coping skills that my therapist didn’t even know of. If your professors aren’t as personable, talk to your school’s student resource department to schedule an appointment with a counselor.

-          This may seem really random, but drink water. I didn’t realize how important this was, but when you are mourning and crying a lot, you get dehydrated faster, and staying hydrated makes it easier on your body to deal with all the stress as well. I mean, when you already feel like your losing it emotionally, the last thing you want is to physically feel terrible.

-          Give yourself more time to get things done. I noticed that, even when I was able to sit down and work on an essay I had due, my mind often wandered to other things and my attention span was a lot shorter than usual. I’m usually able to stay focused on an assignment for an hour before I need a break, but I found my mind wandering every 5 to 10 minutes. An essay that would usually take me two hours to write took me all day. I know that everyone is different, but keep in mind when suffering a loss, it will be a challenge to handle things that normally come easily to you. Give yourself more time to do things.

-          With my last point, please for the love of all things, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Yes, some days you won’t be able to do much if anything, but chances are, If you wait until three hours till the due date to start something, you won’t finish it. Plus, the extra stress is the LAST thing you need.

-          Take a break when you need it, whether it be every five minutes or five hours. Let your brain relax as much as you can let it.

-          Realize that the work you do may or may not be your best. Even if you just half-ass a quiz or assignment, at least a mediocre grade, or even a bad grade is better than a 0.

-          Let your loss motivate you. This one is more personal, but it could apply to many others as well, so I will put it here anyway. What I mean is, think of what the person you lost would want for you. Of the people in my family, my grandma and I were the only ones who went to college and graduated. With both of her own children flunking out of school and ending up relying on her for support their whole lives, my grandma was extremely proud that I was becoming successful and independent. My grandma told me before she passed to keep working towards my goals, and that I was the light of the family. She didn’t care what I did, as long as I was successful and happy. That being said, I feel her death is a motivator in itself, as I must continue working hard to get my bachelor’s and later on my PhD. When you are mourning a loss, remember who you lost. They wouldn’t want you to be laying in bed, sad, giving up, and watching life pass by, right? No. They would want you to move forward and to keep working hard. They are so proud of you, and it’s time to keep making them proud.

I hope some of these tips help you is some way or another, and if you are suffering from losing a close loved one as well, stay strong, okay? You can do it, things will get better just take it one day at a time.

My brain: plz kill me, but after you get me food.

feminist brain: menstruation has been a highly stigmatized function of the female body throughout centuries and even still today, despite the power and strength that should be associated with it. periods show resiliency, not only in how women have been able to fight back against the oppression caused by menstruating, but also in the body’s ability to power through a painful time, while possibly also reminding of the antithesis of a period: pregnancy and birth. a female’s ability to reproduce is a powerful and beautiful thing, and all things related, e.g. periods, should be celebrated likewise. this must come through, despite society’s desire to silence any conversation of menstruation, and, therefore, this time of a woman’s cycle must be celebrated and reclaimed as the wonderful thing it is.

actual brain: tummy hurty :(

How to Feign Your Life is Together

Have a signature accessory, clothing article, make up look, or hair style.

Have a fragrance. Make your hair scents and lotions match your perfume.

It’s okay to dine alone. Bring a book or people watch.

Love your hair. Research the best brands for your hair type and use masks weekly.

Your nails don’t need to be fancy, but keep them maintained.

Stay worldly. Know works of art, artists, designers, films, books, politicians. Spend your lunch break reading the paper or a magazine.

Crying is not a weapon. It’s okay to feel your emotions, but never use them as an excuse to avoid your problems.

Jealousy is boring. Love and appreciate others. If you can’t love them, forget them.

Boost others. Flatter others, but don’t deprecate yourself in the process.

Don’t sulk. Don’t let the whole world know your problems. If you don’t want someone to give their opinion, don’t share your situation.

Your life is between you and the universe. Don’t post your personal matters for others to see.

Don’t emotionally blackmail others. They hurt you? Let them know and then move on. It’s between the two of you and not the world.

Cook dinner. Cook dinner and listen to music, the radio, or a podcast.

Treat yourself to candles and flowers. Be your own cheerleader.

Take naps. Take a cat nap on a Sunday afternoon with the blinds open and the fan on high.

Drink your water, eat your vegetables. Take care of your body.

Never have time to take off your jewelry before bed, but always have time to take off your makeup. Your nighttime skin regime is important.

Mystery is beautiful. You don’t need to reveal much of or about yourself.

Never appear other than as you are. Don’t lie about yourself. Embrace who you are at your core.
