I Believe In Unicorns - Leah Meyerhoff (2014)

never underestimate the power of:

• eating fruits and veggies

• going outside

• opening your windows and letting the fresh air in

• cuddling with your pet

• catching up with your sibling or parent

• complimenting someone you don’t know

• exercising

• journaling

• cleaning out your fridge and cabinets

• listening to happy music

• putting yourself first

• making and eating a home cooked meal

• washing the dishes/putting the dishes away

• washing/brushing your hair

my favourite subject is literally whatever I get a higher grade in

where/how do you store all of your journals? i see that you have quite a few! p.s. i would love to hear about your different types of journals! xx

At the moment they're in a very chaotic pile in top of our bookcase! My granddad has kept a diary every year of his life since about 1970 and keeps them all neatly arranged on one shelf in the back bedroom, whenever I see them I think: that’s what I want in future. Just to put them all in one place. I would like to have a dedicated shelf for them all one day but we're low on space and as I'm always using them it seemed easier to keep them in reach.

This is about half, the other half are in a drawer at my parents’ house still: x3 undergraduate notes from lectures (one per year), x1 undergraduate poetry dissertation/portfolio notes, x4 postgraduate degree notebooks, some diaries, scripts and plays and stories I wrote as a child, pictures I drew, and planners from my school years. I keep all these things, I don’t know what for. 

I see this post about having one book per year from 2017 copied aaaall the time now which is kind of funny. 

The half I have here is notes from meetings and projects to do with my day-job; diary-type stream-of-consciousness writing; notes from what I call ‘pre-phd research’ (academically inclined nonsense basically); I keep commonplace books and sketch books too. I probably have a problem with keeping too many and could do with slimming down but I love the feeling of a fresh notebook so much. : - )

help a trans man get out of pakistan

[reblogs extremely appreciated]

Reposting because the only contact I got on my sideblog was from some guy who tried to use me for money laundering...

Hi. My parents have made their monetary support for me contingent on whether I get into pharmacy school in Canada. I myself am attending pharmacy school in Pakistan.

They are not helping me pay application fees and I have no disposable income because we can get expelled/suspended for working. It's not legal but no one exactly cares here.

I posted this on my other account but got little to no traction.

I need to get out of here because I don't want to be assaulted or killed for being queer.

I am trying to raise money to pay for the fees, here's a breakdown: it's $125 CAD for USask (or $88 USD), $215 for Uwaterloo, and $250 for UofT. If I get more than this, I'll apply to one or two others as well.

I'm hoping for USask so I can bunk with someone I know there.

0 / $700 CAD

or, 0 / $500 USD

Hi there! I'm putting this post out because I'm a full-time student unable to gain employment here due to our university preventing me from getting a job (under risk of expulsion).

I live in South Asia (Pakistan) and the area I live in has been getting pretty worse with regards to queer people.

I'm pretty sure I'm at risk of getting outed at my university department because of certain questions targeted at me recently by a supervisor who thinks that people like us should be put to death.

Because my very existence in this country is subject to arrest and other things I'd rather not think about, I need to get out ASAP.

Unfortunately, my parents will only pay for my ticket to Canada (I have citizenship) under the condition that I get accepted into a university there, but they're not going to help me cover the application fees.

Plus, they keep all the documents I need to get out of the country with them. As someone with basically no disposable income, I'm gonna need some help.

I'm a PharmD candidate and I'm hoping to apply to UofT, UWaterloo, and two more places (probably Saskatchewan so I can stay with my cousin). If I get accepted, I'm getting out of here by May-June and hopefully will be in a safer place.

I'm trying to raise $700 CAD (Canadian dollars) because UWaterloo's application costs $215, $250 for UofT, and I'm hoping the rest will cover two more applications.

If I can even apply for one or two, that's more than enough! I'd appreciate it so much!!

I have until January, so please help me out!

I'm not the best at art, but I wouldn't mind doing some silly little commissions if you'd like, and I also take writing commissions (details to come). I also have a Redbubble shop that'll go live soon. Until then, please support me!

Here's my: p*yp*l

Hello! Apologies if this question has been asked before. Is there any way to get a job curating/storing/classifying/cleaning/whatever artifacts without getting a degree? I don’t know much about archaeology but sitting in a back room dusting off pottery shards and sticking them in labeled baggies sounds awesome, honestly I’d far rather do that than do field work anyway lol.

You could try to volunteer, but I don't know how much luck you have. One of the hardest things to do is "get your foot in the door" and being a student is one of the best ways to do that. I very forcefully shoved my foot in the door by seeking out internships with two of the archaeology professors at my university. They already knew me and knew what I was capable of, so they let me work with them. I don't know if the same opportunity would be given to someone they didn't know, and who doesn't have any background education.

I hate to say this because I really do think that archaeology is for everyone, but without any sort of archaeology education I don't think that you could get a paying job doing lab work. There are to many trained archaeologists looking for positions, and not enough job openings, so it doesn't really make sense to hire someone who has no prior knowledge and no credentials.

See if your state (if you're in the US) has an Archaeology Day. It's usually at a State museum, and a lot of different archaeology groups will be there with tables about their programs. This is probably the best place to inquire about any sort of lab work volunteering.
