khorshid o mah/ the sun and the moon

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

Hi, how are you? My name is Etta, and I am thirty-three years old. I live in Providence, Rhode Island. I’m a disabled, white Cherokee Nation citizen who is learning to speak [Otali] Cherokee, and read and write the syllabary, in my spare time.

This blog is my study journal. I am starting with the Fall 2026 cohort in the University of Texas at Austin Ph.D. program in Higher Education Leadership and Policy. My research interests focus on Indigenous sovereignty and structural accountability and will explore TribalCrit/critical race theory and critical data theory.

╭┈┈. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

┊✧ How do federal obligations to uphold treaty rights intersect with higher education policy?

┊✧ How do tribal nations exercise sovereignty within data systems not designed for them?

┊✧ How do postsecondary institutions, Indigenous nations, and the federal government restructure policy to meet the needs of Native students, especially in predominantly white institutions (where most Native students enroll)?

Current Academic Experiment | Semester 1 PhD • Experiment #001 | Can rest-first scheduling protect my physical and mental health and produce a 4.0 GPA? (Learn more on my post here.)

You’ll find regular study pics, book reviews, academic playlists, and academic master-posts on this blog. I track #studiedtodeath.

Romanticizing studying/education

to all the adhd bujo peeps who have been struggeling to keep your journal habit up: i know instagram makes it look like you have to be all aesthetic and inject matcha latte directly into your veins but let me tell you:

actively work against that perfectionism!!

stick that train ticket in even if it doesn't perfectly line up with the rest

cross out accidental spelling errors and leave them all scribbled and "ugly"

write everything you can think of even if it doesn't fit the theme because then you have everything in one place in case you're wondering where the hell you wrote something down (as it was originally intended btw)

USE it no matter if its pretty or not and break that awful spell of perfectionism that scares you into keeping it clean and tidy and never using it in the first place

bujos are supposed to be helpful to keep your shit together and they shouldn't have to be instagram content mills

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
