this image belongs in the history books
Percy automatically assuming the reason Annabeth was acting weird was because they hugged. My man is DOWN BAD, as they say.
I know that not everyone is gonna love the changes, especially with episode 5 being the most different from the books, but I am so loving it so far! It’s not a one to one adaption with the book, but that’s fine! If you want everything to be like the book, then just read the fucking book. You can tell that the changes they made fit better in relation to the show. They were able to add more to Percy and annabeth’s relationship and the trust they are working to build between each other on this quest. They keep showing their fatal flaws in such ways that are going to build so much to their character. I also love that they added it as Hephaestus’s amusement park instead of an abandoned one. It makes much more sense. I love that the tunnel of love was Hephaestus’s story. It makes sense with the context of the show and the story they are telling that is INSPIRED and ADAPTED from the original books. It didn’t feel out of place. It felt right. Getting the shield had so many more stakes in it. I am kinda disappointed about the spiders not being there but in the show it would’ve felt shoehorned in and detracted in this context. I love what Rick Rioridan is doing with this show. No author is ever done with writing their story. Even after it’s published there’s still ideas that come to you. He’s retelling his books for a more modern audience, giving us details that we didn’t see, or changing things he wasn’t happy with or just straight up fit better as a TV show. And I will say this every fucking time, TV IS A WHOLEY DIFFERENT MEDIUM THAN WRITTEN WORD!!!! THINGS WILL FUCKING CHANGE!!! As long as the changes make sense in the context of the medium it’s portraying and the story it is telling. Which, this one did in my opinion. Yes, the details changed, but they got to the same answer. I’m not gonna be mad about it. A bad retelling would’ve been excluding this all together, or just making it last like 5 minutes and not being impactful. This scene in the book, when on screen if it was one to one, would’ve been fairly short. But, they expanded on it, made it longer, more impactful. We get more character development. We got Percy starting to take control of his powers. We got fucking Seaweed Brain! Like, how can you be mad about it? Stop being so pretentious that it’s not exactly like the books. If you hold that mindset, you’re never gonna be happy about anything.
End of Ted talk. No I will not be taking criticism.
They’re babies your honor

How I Teach Men Not To Talk Over Me: from one feminist to another, when basic respect is lagging and conversations are impossible
I’ve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. You’ll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they might’ve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, they’ll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.
1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Don’t try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.
2. Ignore everything they’re saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Don’t make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.
3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: ”I wasn’t done talking.”
4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I don’t care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that it’s okay to interrupt you, you’ll still listen and pay attention and they’ll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (It’s especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didn’t listen a single word is glorious.)
5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: ”you’re not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.” If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, they’re not worth your time.
Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men don’t actually notice they’re doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, they’ll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, they’ll learn to wait until you’re done, because they know that’s when you will be paying attention and actually listening.
Go my darlings. Have some actual conversations where your point of view is just as valid as his. Demand the basic respect of being heard. You can actually have some interesting conversations with men when they’re forced to listen too, when being louder is not going to make them feel like they’re dominating the conversation or winning the argument.
This is gonna be fun.
Another unrelated historical fact: Julius Steicher, editor of Der Stürmer, was also hanged at Nuremberg because his publication essentially inspired stochastic terrorism and genocide, despite the fact he himself never DIRECTLY killed anyone.

I've read lots of tips on studying and most of them are "Study hydrated", or "Study pomodoro style", or "Study with flash cards" but I want to know HOW you study. Do you read the text over and over again? I know how you study and what kind of environment you should study in but I don't know the basics of studying. I really need help, I've never study and I don't even know the basics.
The premise of studying is two-fold: knowledge and understanding. Some people choose to focus on memorizing, but psychology has shown us that accurately understanding and being able to apply a concept is a much more useful way of studying.
Ways to study for knowledge include flashcards, making study notes, rereading texts/notes you have made, quizzing yourself on terms/concepts, etc.
Ways to study for understanding include practice tests, outlining an essay, explaining the concepts to someone else, explaining them out loud to yourself, etc.
I suggest doing both of these things. One way I like to study is using flashcards with a partner, because it encompasses both. First, I get to rattle off the knowledge I have about a topic from the card. Then, I get to explain the concept to a third party to make sure I really understand it myself. If I don’t have a partner around, I just do the same thing by myself!
I would also suggest looking at my post on different styles of intelligence to really make sure your study techniques are working effectively for you. I hope this helps!
Here’s to all the kids who are forced to take care of their parents from young age. They’ll never know how it feels to be able to rely on someone and for things to be okay unless they make it so themselves. They’ll never feel like they have the right to receive the same care and love they’re giving. They’ll never have experienced just being kids. They’ll never know what it feels like to have parents. They’ll be forced to view themselves only in relation of how they can take care of others. They will be forced to take responsibility for everyone around them and be adults before they get to be children. All of you deserve better. All of you should have been loved and cared for. You’re not only there to make things okay for others. You have rights to put yourself first too. Nobody is right to demand for you to exist for their sake. Nobody is right to make you responsible for them when you’ve never had someone responsible for you.
List of People who could use this:
-Trans women (cosplayers and non-cosplayers)
- Cis Women who feel too shy to actually show off their chest but still want to pull this off
- Cis women with small chests who also want to be true the characters.
- Pretty much any dude who wants to cosplay as a female character
- Anyone who wants to piss off Travis
Reblog to piss off Travis and support trans women + male cosplayers
New goal in life
Be perfect.
I know that this doesn’t sound healthy, but I need it. I’ve gotten lazy and complacent. I’ve become ok with just being ok. It needs to stop.
I have so many things I want to achieve in life and I need to work hard to get them. And it starts now.
love is real and worth it and SO important to me it’s pretty much my entire political spiritual philosophical deal………you can be critical of how romantic love is commodified and dominated by heteronormative myths for sure but ppl out there like “love is fake” aren’t doing ANYTHING interesting or subversive……love is revolutionary bc the systems that oppress us are directly opposed to all kinds of love, interpersonal love and self love etc. they’re trying to drive it out of us. love as an action love as a choice love as something u cultivate and tend to is the best thing in the world and it’s at the absolute centre of my life

🌼🌻study smarter🌻🌼
(here are some study tips straight from my psych notes)
1. interest: the brain prioritizes by meaning, value, and relevance so u remember things better if ur interested
find a study partner
do extra practice or research
teach it to someone else (this works so well!)
2. intent: be actively paying attention. very little learning actually takes place without attention
use a concentration check sheet (every time u get distracted, put a check on ur sheet. this is supposed to program ur mind to pay attention)
while u read, talk back to the author
ask questions during lectures (this is scary ik!! but do it!)
3. basic background: make connections to what u already know
preview and skim the material before u read it. or google it!
write out a list of vocab words before a lecture and leave some spaces between them to fill in during the lecture
read ahead of lectures
watch crashcourse tbh
4. selectivity: start by studying whats important
look for bolded words, graphics, pictures, chapter review questions in ur readings
listen for verbal clues like emphasis and repetition during lectures
make urself a study guide as u read and write down questions for urself to answer later as review (kinda like cornell notes)
5. meaningful organization: u can learn/rmr better if u group ideas into diff categories
apply vocab words to ur life
make flashcards and sort them (try not to have more than seven items in one category!)
use mnemonics
6. recitation: saying ideas aloud in ur own words strengthens synaptic connections! when u say something aloud u r forcing urself to pay attention
after u read, ask urself questions
talk abt what u learned w/ classmates outside of class
again, teach someone else
7. visualization: ur brain’s quickest and longest-lasting response is to images
convert info into a chart or graph
draw it out
make a mental video of a process
look at picture/video examples
8. association: memory is increased when facts are consciously associated w something u already know. memory = making neural connections
ask urself: is this something i already know?
9. consolidation: give ur brain some time to establish a neural pathway
make a list of what u remember from class
review notes at the end of the day, every day
stop after reading each prg to write a question in ur notes
make ur own practice quiz
10. distributed practice: we all know cramming doesnt work but we do it anyway! but yeah short and frequent study sections work better
make a daily/weekly study schedule
create a time budget/time tracker (track everything ur doing for a week and see how u can be more efficient w/ the time u waste)
divide the reading/vocab by the number of days before an exam and do a little bit each day (u can use sticky notes to divide ur reading)
other tips:
stop stressing! this sounds stupid and it isnt going to be easy, but anxiety causes u to lose focus. try ur best to think positively. sleep a lot. minimize ur caffeine intake. take a walk maybe
when u need to remember something, look upward or close ur eyes (when ur eyes are open ur using visual parts of ur brain that u might not need to be using)
find a rival! (like the person right above u in class rank) secretly compete w/ them (envy can improve mental persistence bc it makes u focus more intensely) but dont overdo it!
walking and sleeping build memory storage in ur brain
eat flavonoids! (grapes, berries, tea leaves, cocoa beans make neurons in the brain more capable of forming new memories + increase blood flow to the brain)
obstacles force ur brain to try harder, so space learning lessons apart or create a puzzle to solve or change ur physical setting
