I'm bi, I love listening to Ivy as a queer song. I'm not a gaylor. I don't push that on Taylor because she says she isn't part of the community then she isn't. I will support her if she ever decides to come out but till then she's straight 🤷

there are people who write erotica about joe and taylor, does that comprise every fan who thinks she’s straight?

i came to your blog because i’m getting messages about what’s going on & i support zero witch-hunts. but yeah i’m gonna respond to this & i’m gonna do it publicly.

“i love listening to ivy as a queer song” cool me too, and i call myself a gaylor because of that.

here’s the deal. i don’t think the rar is real and it’s making every gaylor look bad. which i hate. & i don’t support it at all. i even unblocked you because of it.

jesus christ are you kidding me??

i specifically unblocked tayorswift and even dm'ed her to say that i was not behind her anons and she confirmed that she believed me:

i even have her unblocked right now, even though she's talked shit about me in the past, specifically because i don't want to be implicated in drama i have no part in.

jesus fucking christ, i just want to be left alone. i know nothing about what's going on on that blog and i don't want to know.

also, the one time i did criticize her, i did so publicly by reblogging something she'd written and appealing to her sense of reason. she did not respond.

i don't know how else to get it through everyone's heads that i would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that i have never asked to be a part of.

in the future i will be blocking all asks accusing me (even under the guise of doing it nicely) of having anything to do with this or future drama related to that blog.

October monthly spreads (inspired by x)

14/100 days of productivity

Today I decided not to study. It was a last minute decision, due to the fact that last night I didn’t feel great, which resulted in me sleeping more this morning, and waking up with not so much energy. I decided to embrace it as a day off to do something else. I really needed distraction, so I listened to audiobooks of stoires by H.P. Lovecraft while creating these spreads in my bullet journal. After seeing the post linked above a couple of days ago I decided to try out something similar in my own journal, to change things up a bit, and I am enthusiastic about how it turned out. The short stoires I have listened to while working on this are The Temple (which was a re reading for me, but I liked the story so much the first time than when I saw it in the list of audiobooks I couldn’t resist),  The Statement Of Randolph Carter, Beyond The Wall Of Sleep (which I had also re in the past,but I defently enjoyed more this time, not that I have a better knowledge of Lovecraft’s world) and The Transition Of Juan Romero.

Today I have lots of reading to get done for my classes! It’s midterm season, but I’m lucky to have no exams, just papers.

My drink of the day is a Blonde Vanilla Latte made with Oatmilk. 💕

Hey friends! How are you all? I hope you enjoyed your weekend.

I started using this study method my 2nd month of college, when I realized that it was better for study-life balance and my emotional wellbeing. It makes me feel productive and alert all day, and gives me plenty of free time to pursue hobbies, clubs, and personal interests. It sounds kind of hardcore at first, but it’s seriously wonderful if you give it a try! Here’s the game plan:

After the first few days of the semester, I sit down with all of the syllabi from all of my classes and write down every single assignment for the rest of the semester into my planner. Include exams, readings, lab report due dates, worksheets, essays, etc. Everything.

Every weekend, I set aside however much time I need to knock out every single assignment for the upcoming week that is possible to do in advance. I do my textbook readings, textbook practice problems, my humanities readings, short essays or write-ups to accompany those humanities readings, etc.

Even though I’m doing more work, I generally spend the same amount of time in the library as my friends who only do their work for Monday over the weekend. This is because if you don’t commit to doing a large number of assignments, you tend to spend a lot more time on minor assignments than is truly necessary - do I really need to spend 3 hours on this 1-page essay for my English class if it’s only graded on a 10 point scale? Couldn’t I finish this in 1 hour and then devote more time to the rest of the readings I need to do for that class this week?

I still have enough time to sleep in, have long lunch breaks, go the gym, go to parties in the evening, etc.

You can do this, no matter your workload. I am a pre-med science major taking 20 credits (max course load) a semester, with two labs, and I can get it done. My roommate is an English major with heavy novel reading assignments and she can get it done. (Disclaimer: this mostly applies to undergraduates.)

Research papers and midterm exam studying generally get their own day separate from homework assignments. I like writing essays in 1 or 2 sittings, but if you like to spread it out just break up the essay into manageable pieces and do it over multiple weekends, or do the pieces between classes (see next bullet point).

After blasting through most of my assignments over the weekend, during the week I generally only have to do busy-work that is assigned at the end of classes and continue studying for midterms that week. I easily finish these assignments in the breaks between classes during the day.

With this strategy, I always complete all of my homework well before dinnertime, and often have days when I don’t have any assignments to do. I use this free time for club meetings, hanging out with friends, going to the gym, marathoning Netflix, pursuing hobbies, working a job, whatever.

I also use this extra time to be able to study for exams much more effectively - when you don’t have busywork assignments floating in the back of your mind, it is much easier to focus. You will study more productively and effectively, and with much less stress. Exams are worth way more of your grade than the homework assignments you blast through each weekend, so it’s best to be able to focus exclusively on them Monday - Friday.

The best part about this strategy is that your workload is heavy on Sunday and sometimes Saturday, but you get to relax Monday - Friday. You basically have a 5 day weekend every week, assuming you enjoy going to class.

If anyone also uses this method, I’d love to hear from you or hear your variants/study suggestions! If anyone tries out this method for 1 or 2 weeks and finds that it works for them, I’d love to hear about it! If you try it and hate it with a fiery burning passion and loathe me for even suggesting it, I’d love to hear about it!

managing your time is something v v important! especially now that we're all at home, it's really easy for us (or for me, at least) to lose track of time. with this, here are some of the time management techniques i've tried including what worked and what didn't!
