I think "fuck you, I hate your work and I will do it myself and I will do it better" is a really funny and epic sentiment. i started publishing poetry because an ex boyfriend of mine was publishing really ass poetry in a bunch of journals and I was like "Jesus christ, this is garbage, I could do that, and I could do it better." now I have a page in the Academy of American Poets and I've published a full length collection and his website says "former poet." You should win by succeeding way harder than they do. Spite is a legitimate energy source.

Deinfluencing: Study Trends That Might Be Hurting More Than Helping

There’s a version of studying online that looks perfect. The desk is spotless. The iPad is paired with a $150 stylus. The notes are color-coded with 12 markers. The lighting is soft. There's a candle burning. Maybe even a matcha latte.

And somehow, all of it makes you feel like what you’re doing… isn’t enough.

Let’s get one thing straight: none of that stuff is required to learn.

1. You don’t need an iPad to study.

Yes, digital notes can be convenient. But paper works. Google Docs works. A $5 notebook and a pen work. Don’t let your brain trick you into thinking you need to buy a whole setup before you’re “allowed” to be productive.

2. You don’t need a rainbow of markers or highlighters.

Highlighting isn’t learning. Sometimes, the urge to decorate your notes is just procrastination in disguise. If it helps you process info, great. But don’t feel bad for using one pen and underlining stuff once.

3. You don’t need to romanticize the grind.

Studying doesn’t have to look cute. It’s okay if your space is messy, if your notes are chaotic, if your focus looks like silence and staring. You’re not building content — you’re building understanding.

4. You don’t need to spend money to be “serious” about school.

Expensive gear doesn’t equal discipline. Flashy setups won’t magically give you consistency. Focus comes from habits, not hauls.

5. You don’t need to look productive to be productive.

No one needs to see your routine for it to count. You’re allowed to keep it quiet, small, and completely your own.

If you enjoy making things aesthetic — go for it. But don’t let the internet convince you that you’re doing it wrong if your notes are messy, your tools are basic, or your desk isn’t Pinterest-worthy.

Studying is not a photoshoot. It’s not a lifestyle brand.

It’s you, choosing to show up for your future — whether that’s in a Moleskine, a Google Doc, or the back of a receipt.

The best study tool you have? Your brain.

Use it — not just to memorize, but to question, too. Even the trends.

Writing Tip I Follow:

TL; DR: If it’s boring to write, then it’s boring to read.

Read and write it as if it were a movie. Opening the scenes, chapters, I think of how I’d describe zoom in from the night sky to capture the essence of the full moon.

The word “said” is almost filtered out through most readers’ brains. I don’t pay attention to it that much myself when I’m reading other fanfic. Dialogue is fast sometimes. Things gotta be, well, said.

If it doesn’t incite some emotion from you—lust, angst, sadness, anger—then it won’t with your readers.

Read the dialogue and the narration out loud to keep pacing. If it doesn’t flow fast like it should during an action scene, or slow for a romantic scene (which doesn’t mean it can’t be fast too 🤤😘) then edit the narration. Either cut it or go in hard with the metaphors that flow like fine wine.

When I write smut, it can go either way. Either it’s porn or it should be framed in a second reiteration of paint me like one of your French girls. If the writing is boring, the sex is probably too.

Proofread, and if you’re not satisfied with the ending, re-read it with fresh eyes after taking a shower or making a pot of coffee.

If the narration itself doesn’t have tone or personality, it reads like a grocery list. The pieces are there, but nothing is cooking. Is the narrator sarcastic, lovesick, cheerful and optimistic? If I can’t pick that up as a reader about the type of person I’m hearing this story from, ima start assuming AI took over this fanfic.

For tone, I mean Harry Potter’s description about Malfoy and the “she has red hair” toward Ginny; his hatred toward Snape in the way he describes him, or how you can hear the fondness in his voice when he talks about Mrs. Weasley. I know his opinions about them, as he tells us about them, without him speaking.

Am I the only one who thinks The Secret History would be way more interesting as a stage play than a movie? It could be put on in the same style as a Greek tragedy, taking inspiration from ancient performances. Or there could be constant rotating sets and backgrounds, but the mountains and the cliffs always being present onstage, reminding us that what no matter what Richard is telling us, and no matter how much Richard and the Greek class try to rationalize it, they will always be haunted by what they have done. THINK ABOUT HOW THE BACCHANAL COULD BE SHOWN

an artist is a director of audience reaction, not its dictator. if you know your craft well, you can make most of your cues hit, but in the end, interpretation of art is up to the viewer. you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying to make them react. a good artist knows that this is what allows works to breathe. by definition, you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table. you do have to respect both the generative and interpretive ends of the process if you want your art to mean anything.

this is why you have to let go of the urge to plainly state in-text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted. that desire for control conveys disrespect for audience. if you have developed your storytelling skills well enough, the audience will understand what you are trying to communicate without needing you to intercede as authorial voice. sure, some won't get it, but it's better to be misinterpreted sometimes than to talk down to your audience. you won't even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do. just find a way to communicate your ideas and hope that it comes across well to your audience at some point

Unhinged, překlad dvacet milionů z deseti, taky nemůžu dostatečně zdůraznit, jak moc přesnej překlad to je.

Od této chvíle všechny mé myšlenky patří Janě Hollanové

one thing I really like about my relationship with my boyfriend is that we can express negative feelings about each other's actions without assigning blame or requiring apology. I mean like for morally neutral things like "it drives me crazy when you leave a wet towel on the floor instead of hanging it up"

cause now like instead of "oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to drive you crazy, I'm terrible and unsocialized" or "um well that's dumb, who cares" it's like

"it does? I didn't know that. how come?"

"because it will mildew and I keep tripping over it and I don't know whether you intend to reuse that towel or whether it needs to go in the wash"

"okay so usually if I intend to reuse it I hang it up, and if it needs to go in the wash I drop it on the floor. I guess because I thought I shouldn't put it in the hamper because it would get all the other dirty clothes wet and then THEY might mildew before we do the laundry."

"that's valid. what if we have a specific place to hang wet towels that need to be washed? how about this one hook here"

"perfect!"

no hurt feelings, nobody being made to feel shitty and sloppy on one hand or uptight and bitchy in the other hand. just, we're partners right? let's workshop this

I wish they could invent a medical device that temporarily transfers your symptoms and pain to the doctor treating you and it worked like a shock collar. “I think light exercise would-.” and then bam they’re rolling around the floor clutching their stomach in agony and dry heaving.

It's been years since I started seeing nutrient flows constantly in my daily life, and the more I study agriculture, the more I see them.

See, every time you harvest something, you take the nutrients in that item away from the soil, and they go somewhere else. When I put a banana peel in my compost bin, I think (a little gleefully) about how I've just added an exotic, different profile of nutrients to my own property--but I also think about that distant banana plantation that lost tons of nutrients per year to US grocery stores, and I wonder what they replaced those nutrients with.

The farmer across my field grows corn, which gets harvested for feed. Corn is a nitrogen-hungry crop. Every year, that corn sucks up nutrients, which get harvested and shipped away. The farmer, being a conventional farmer, mostly replaces those with a conventional fertilizer. Nitrogen is often applied to fields in the form of ammonia fertilizer, which is made via a process that binds nitrogen in the air with hydrogen from natural gas. This feels like a vast resource, but of course we know it's not inexhaustible and not without cost.

Ideally, said farmer does soil tests and applies a carefully considered amount of ammonia. It is taken up by the growing plants and relatively little is lost. Possibly (often), though, some of the ammonia is leached out via rain and ends up in waterways, where it causes plant overgrowth and algal blooms, which harm the waterways in several ways, and turn those nutrients from a resource into a contaminant.

Meanwhile, the corn is also uptaking a variety of other nutrients from the soil which the commercial fertilizer is NOT replacing. Year by year, those nutrients get shipped off to distant feedlots and depleted in the soil. Eventually, those nutrients are gone from my neighbor's field and, quite possibly, languishing in a manure lagoon somewhere in, say, Indiana, where one can only hope it's properly treated and made into compost. But, you know. Not necessarily.

When I buy compost at the store, it's usually based in either cow manure or "forest products". Hopefully, depending on brand, those forest products MIGHT be collected municipal yard waste. Which is pretty good. Those suburbanites don't want their leaves, I do, win/win.

Except that because those suburbanites raked their yard waste, they now need at some point to fertilize their trees, shrubs, and turf grass. Meanwhile, they've eliminated habitat for the many insects that use leaf litter to either overwinter or reproduce. They may not be counting the costs, but the costs don't stop existing.

The ebb and flow of nutrients is something that, in the current system, goes utterly unregarded by most of the people taking part in the process. Even gardeners bring nutrients onto their soils mostly without thinking about the places those nutrients came from. I think in a sustainable world, that needs to change.

Also probably we need to do a hell of a lot more cover-cropping.
