ok mlp g5 tumblr, what the heck is mistys 'thing' ??

relating back to what i posted weeks ago about flurry/opaline, im trying to kinda have my own take on g5 while still keeping the stuff i like in it (i dont hate or even dislike g5, i do genuinely like it, but i also just wanna make my own version for myself)

and im trying to figure out like, the meanings of the mane 6s cutie marks and their 'thing' or 'talent', yknow? like how izzy is a DIYer and pipps musical. i figured out the rest of them but not misty

like... did she get her mark from being herself? from being free? thats not necessarily a 'thing'...

like even going back to g4 it was really clear what everyone elses cutie mark and thing was when we were told anything about them, or saw them appear. and they were always something describable lol. something that said something important about who they were as ponies, something that was a big part of their lives and personalities

but like... being yourself doesnt really say anything specific about you? idk

"Me Time" Calendar Traditions Mod (PUBLIC - 10/9TH)

Hi everyone, I am thrilled to introduce my latest mod, "Me Time" Calendar Traditions. This mod offers a straightforward and clean experience for your Sims, enhancing their calendar with structured activities to accomplish.

Each "Me Time" activity requires your Sims to complete just one specific task based on what you've scheduled. For instance, if you've marked Friday as "Beach Day," your Sim's goal is to head to the beach.

I designed this mod to be incredibly user-friendly, ensuring that it can be enjoyed without any added pressure. After all, the purpose of a scheduled planner is to simplify life, right?

"Me Time" Calendar Traditions includes 12 activities for your Sims to add to their calendar:

Cafe Day: Enjoy a visit to the cafe, whether alone or with friends.

Beach Day: Head to the beach for a relaxing day, alone or with company.

Lazy Day: Take a well-deserved nap to complete this tradition.

Gaming Day: Dive into some gaming to fulfill this activity.

Meal For One: Prepare and savor a meal exclusively for yourself.

Novel Reading Day: Spend quality time reading a book.

Picnic Day: Unpack your picnic basket and enjoy a delightful meal outdoors.

Tend To Plants Day: Show some love to your plants by tending to them.

TV Series Day: Watch your favorite TV series or shows to mark this day.

Thrifting Day: Explore the thrift store and create a unique outfit. Note that this requires certain expansion packs to work correctly.

Paint & Sip: Engage in either painting or enjoying a drink at the bar to complete this activity. You can choose one or both based on your Sim's preferences.

Live Stream Day: Open up a livestream from your tech/gaming career to participate in this event.

You have the flexibility to install only the traditions you prefer, allowing for a customized experience. Keep in mind that certain traditions may require specific expansion packs to function correctly. If you do not have Highschool Years, than you know Thrifting would not work for you and etc. Most of these traditions are compatible with the base game. 

Additionally, I recommend using the "Zebru - More Icons" mod to enhance your calendar with a variety of icons for a visually pleasing experience.

Here is a video link on how to use the mod

all the time, gotta walk away, for a moment, take a break, infuriated, when reading about European implementation of forced labour, particularly and especially thinking about nineteenth and early twentieth centuries plantations, whether it's sugarcane or rubber or tea or banana, whether it's British plantations in Assam or Malaya; Belgian plantations in Congo; French plantations in West Africa; Dutch plantations in Java; de facto United States-controlled plantations in Haiti or Guatemala or Cuba or Colombia. and the story is always: "and then the government tried to find a way to reimpose slavery under a different name. and then the government destroyed vast regions of forest for monoculture plantations. and then the government forced thousands to become homeless and then criminalized poverty to force people into plantation work or prison labor." like the plantation industries are central (entangled with every commodity and every infrastructure project) and their directors are influencing each other despite spatial distance between London and the Caribbean and the Philippines.

and so the same few dozen administrators and companies and institutions keep making appearances everywhere, like they have outsized influence in history. like they are important nodes in a network. and they all cite each other, and write letters to each other, and send plant collection gifts to each other, and attend each other's lectures, and inspire other companies and colonial powers to adapt their policies/techniques.

but. important that we ought not characterize some systems and forces (surveillance apparatuses, industrial might, capitalism itself) as willful or always conscious. this is a critical addendum. a lot of those forces are self-perpetuating, or at least not, like, a sentient monster. we ought to avoid imagining a hypothetical boardroom full of be-suited businessmen smoking cigars and plotting schemes. this runs the risk of misunderstanding the forces that kill us, runs the risk of attributing qualities to those forces that they don't actually possess. but sometimes, in some cases, there really are, like, a few particular assholes with a disproportionate amount of influence making problems for everyone else.

not to over-simplify, but sometimes it's like the same prominent people, and a few key well-placed connections and enablers in research institutions or infrastructure companies. they're prison wardens and lietuenant governors and medical doctors and engineers and military commanders and botanists and bankers, and they all co-ordinate these multi-faceted plans to dispossess the locals, build the roads, occupy the local government, co-erce the labour, tend the plants, ship the products.

so you'll be reading the story of like a decade in British Singapore and you're like "oh, i bet that one ambitious British surgeon who is into 'economics' and is obsessed with tigers and has the big nutmeg garden in his backyard is gonna show up again" and sure enough he does. but also sometimes you're reading about another situation halfway across the planet and then they surprise you (because so many of them are wealthy and influential and friends with each other) and it'll be like "oh you're reading about a British officer displacing local people to construct a new building in Nigeria? surprise cameo! he just got a letter from the dude at the university back in London or the agriculturalist in Jamaica or the urban planner from Bombay, they all went to school together and they're also all investors in the same rubber plantation in Malaya". so you'll see repeated references to the same names like "the British governor of Bengal" or "[a financial institution or bank from Paris or New York City]" or "[a specific colonial doctor/laboratory that does unethical experiments or eugenics stuff]" or "lead tropical agriculture adviser to [major corporation]" or "the United Fruit Company" and it's like "not you again"

I really want to talk about how important it is for us as a people to start making proper city design a priority. I also want to talk about how the privatization of land is the first major barrier to having proper city design.

A lot of seemingly complex issues and tasks can be simplified or made easier to deal with by organizing our cities: Food distribution, commute times, housing, neighborhood safety, public transportation, business/practice regulation, emergency preparedness, general accessibility, mental health, access to medical services, public health, and probably a ton of other things I can't think of right now.

All of that and more could be made much easier if we organized our cities with things like mixed-use-development, the standardization of public transport over personal vehicles, a grid structure, prioritizing walkability on surfaces safe for the disabled (sidewalks over cobblestone), designating districts for certain kinds of services, mandating better minimum (and maximum) size requirements for homes, requiring a certain percentage of greenery or some form of nature for every square footage, and other tactics that I'm probably not even aware of since I'm no city planner.

All of this gets shit on when land can be privately owned, though. Businesses, rich folks, the greedy, and the ignorant buy land without any planning in mind for their community which leads to disorganized, unoptimized, and community-unfriendly cities/towns. Our efforts should always generally lead to the betterment of our community over the selfish betterment of our private circumstances.

Heartstrings by Rachel Spangler

Mira Collins has her life together. She’s built a solid career as a financial planner, a comfortable home, and an uncomplicated and regimented routine…until her wayward sister, Vannah, shows up unexpectedly and drops a bomb on her orderly world. Ever dependable Mira reluctantly accepts temporary custody of her ten-year-old nephew, Ben, then quickly learns that not all responsibilities can be handled with a color-coded calendar system, and that being a substitute parent is terrifying. There are new skills, stressors, and emotions to contend with, many of which are simultaneously simplified and complicated by Ben’s beautiful young violin teacher.

Shelby Tanner is fresh out of grad school and eager to start her first job as an orchestra teacher, and although she believes the power of music will enrich her students’ lives, she still feels like she’s waiting for her own to start. Working harder than ever to make ends meet while struggling to find her feet, she quickly learns that not everything can be handled with a well-tuned instrument or a creative mindset, and that being an adult is terrifying. She’s desperate to feel confident and competent, but the world keeps tripping her up. Case in point, her growing attraction to the guardian of her most gifted young musician.

Drawn together by their changing circumstances and their mutual affection for Ben, Shelby and Mira learn to lean on each other despite their differences in age, personality, and lifestyle, until Vannah’s reappearance threatens to upend everyone’s lives all over again. Is attraction enough to sustain opposites without the commonality of Ben between them, or will the beautiful music they’ve created together fade into silence?

In a year of hard fighting since taking delivery of its first 71 German-made Leopard 2 tanks, the Ukrainian army has lost—according to Oryx—at least 12 of the tanks.

But the losses aren’t the reason the army is struggling to generate combat-ready Leopard 2s. Many more Leopard 2s have been damaged than have been destroyed—and the Ukrainians are having real problems getting the damaged tanks fixed and returned to service.[...]

As many as 59 Leopard 2s in theory remain in Ukrainian service. But in reality, potentially dozens of the intact tanks are out of service for want of repairs. When German T.V. network NTV visited a Leopard 2A6 platoon this month, just one of the unit’s four tanks was combat-ready.

German Green Party politician Sebastian Schäfer went looking for answers, and found them in Lithuania, where German firms Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann run a workshop that fixes Leopard 2A6s and Strv 122s. Leopard 2A4s go to Poland for repairs. “Only a very small number of the main battle tanks delivered can still be used by Ukraine,” Schäfer reported.

There’s a shortage of spares at the front line and at the repair center. This should come as no surprise to close observers of Germany’s long military decline since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Desperate for parts and eager to fix their tanks themselves, the Ukrainians tend to remove parts from the most badly-damaged Leopard 2s before loading them onto trucks and trains for transport to Poland or Lithuania, Maj. Gen. Christian Freuding explained. [...]

But this cannibalization means the workers at the repairs centers have to fix battlefield damage and replace stripped parts. The repair centers aren’t just fixing tanks, they’re “rebuilding” them, Freuding said.[...]

Ukrainian defense planners meanwhile have chopped the 47th Brigade’s surviving Leopard 2A6s to the 21st Brigade, consolidating those tanks with the remaining Strv 122s in order to simplify their logistics.

And The Netherlands and Germany are beginning to deliver, presumably to the 33rd Brigade, 14 fresh Leopard 2A4s.

But the longer-term fix requires German industry to produce tank parts. Lots of them. And consistently.

Maybe there's a lesson to be learned here about the efficacy of flashy expensive military hardware in actual combat against a peer/near-peer competitor. Maybe not tho! [22 Jan 24]

My journaling system - an overview

For @iwillsurvivecollege!

I currently use five journals. The number varies - I sometimes keep just one multipurpose notebook, I sometimes use more. (I think five is the most i’ve had so far)

I usually write in notebook 2, 4, 5 daily and 1, 3 two or three times a week.

Purposes/contents:

1) Commonplace book: mostly about books, but also movie reviews, quotes, stuff i like on the internet, etc.

2) Daily planner: I used to keep a bullet journal but I’m trying to simplify my to-do list and routines, so it’s just a long list of stuff I need to do on that day + sometimes a time log.

3) Diary 1: for stuff I don’t want to read again, so no index for this one. Mostly for emptying out my thoughts.

4) Music note: with a fitting cover! Stuff I listened to that day and my brief thoughts, favourite songs.

5) Diary 2: for ‘happy’ events, and stuff I want to come back to and reminisce later. I stick teabags and restaurant receipts in here too.

Bought some new stationary:

• Dual Brush Pens from Tombow (Just Peachy Set)

• Student Planner from Simplified

• Page flag from Amazon

• Planning stickers from The Everygirl

After one month of digital planning, I realized how much I missed planning with actual pens and paper hence the stationery haul. It actually made me more productive…I guess using your hands to plan your future made me more motivated. I’m glad I’m using an actual planner. What’s your favourite planning method? 🩷

[free] System Notion Template

hello there :3c

We made this template because we use notion + are a system, and noticed a lack of templates for keeping track of system stuff :3c This template is free, and feel free to edit it in any way you want. Just don't redistribute as ur own

So what's in the template . . ?

Glad you asked! Here's a super simplified list;

Switch Log - a place to track switches between alters

Planner - a simplistic planner to keep track of reminders and notes

Journals - a section with a communal journal, as well as a database for personal journals with alters.

Emergency Contacts - a place for emergency contacts, as well as crisis lines

System Guidelines - a section for the rules/internal laws your system may have!

System Management - a place to keep track of various habits, as well as a place to keep track of subsystems

System Members - a database with a template for keeping record of all alters and fragments that your system has contact with

Innerworld Section - a place to keep track of all the different places in ur headspace or otherwise!

Coping Skills - a database with PDFs of a bunch of DBT skills. Im talking, just a bunch of them [I may make a second version where you can make the sheets directly in notion, as opposed to the PDF, but I have not done that yet. might also add other skills over time].

Again, this template is free to use, just don't redistribute as your own :3c

!! IMPORTANT NOTE; This is based off of a template we had found a while ago, but then never found again, having been taken down, or something. Idk, we just never found it or the original creator. We tried to deviate heavily from it, but there is inspo. Just didn't feel right not saying this !!

We also made it monotone colors, but it can be changed to any

Journal Hacking

I’m not sure if this will make sense to anyone else but I wanted to document something I’ve been trying lately with regards to planning/bujo/journaling type things. Even if only so I can go back and see what I did lol. 

So I have been bullet journaling in some form on and off since 2014. So it’s been a minute. And while I like it on the whole, it’s just not been working out for me lately. I tried a Hobonichi weeks mega and while I really like some aspects it’s just not enough room for me. My handwriting is not that small. 

I ran across a simplified GTD-like system called Ugmonk Analog and I liked the principles (even if I didn’t like the price tag) so I adapted it to my new journal. 

Ugmonk’s Analog system has three cards - Today, Next, and Someday. I’m just using notecards I have for this. I put the Today card on my cover with washi tape so I can see it without opening my notebook and easily write things down (my pen is in the loop to the side there). 

The Next and the Someday cards - along with some others are in the inside. I made the pocket by taping one of the notecards horizontally and taping the two outside sides. 

The long bit of text on the inside cover is the Heart Sutra. I like to write it on notebooks I’ll be using regularly so I pause and reflect on it more regularly. 

In addition to Next and Someday cards, I have a blank one for scratch paper and one with my ideal timelines for doing home and personal tasks. The personal side is lacking, I’m kind of in a state of transition on that so I’m unclear what I want to do regularly. The house stuff never happens all the way but I like knowing what I’d like to do when I’m adding tasks to my Today card. 

I think my favorite part of this system is the memory keeping part. It’s not super elegant or pretty but on the pack of each today card, I record any notable things about the day on the top (period, mood, fights, symptoms) with a hashtag, the weather, and then I fill the card with what I did that day. It’s been very helpful so far for jogging my memory throughout the week. I like that I can pull them out and see as many as I’d like throughout the week. I plan on digitizing them at the end of the year and keeping the last year as a hard copy. 

I keep the card in this little green box. Might decorate it soon. 

I don’t really feel like sharing my finished cards so hopefully this gives you an idea. I like that I can see what happened in a day and what I got done on one card. 

So yeah, I’m really liking it so far. I still do long form journaling (Morning Pages type things) in the notebook itself. I actually turn it so the short side is on the top and it’s kind of like writing on an A4 sheet of paper. I do that so I don’t start auto rereading old journal entries when I’m flipping through for other stuff. I index and thread anything that isn’t journal entries like I would a normal bullet journal. Right now I have some random notes for subject I’m studying, some pen and paper games I’m playing, and writing notes. 

I’m also going to add either an A6 monthly calendar or print my own calendar set up to add to the back pocket for scheduling things in advance. I know everyone uses Google Calendar but I never check mine much. So people can schedule things with me on my Google Cal but my source of truth will be the hard copy. 

Some resources I took inspiration from in setting all this up: 

- OG Bullet Journal - I’m surprised by how many people I’ve met who don’t know that bullet journaling isn’t just making your own pretty planner but an actual system (no shade to the art journaling folks, I’m just not one of them). When I say I use bullet journaling, this is what I’m using. Check for some of his more recent videos if you like it, he’s updated it. 

- Ugmonk Analog - slightly expanded to-do list system on paper; the product seems nice but they’ve actually been very supportive of people making their own knockoff versions for personal use which is cool to see

- Everbook - I think if I had more to juggle, I’d upgrade to something like this system. This guy has so many neat ideas sprinkled throughout the channel. He also really supports people making their own version. Love a good open source ethos. 

Anyways - hope this helps someone!
