- 2 cucumbers, sliced lengthways and then cut into small pieces - 1 red onion - 1 red capsicum - 2 tsp balsamic vinegar - 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
Combine these all in a container, mix, and eat! I consider this to make four portions, 56 calories each, or 224 calories for the whole thing (which is very filling!). If you take out the oil, it would be even lower, but it’s worth it for me.
The veggies give you a boost of nutrients, and olive oil provides a tiny amount of good fat for your body (and brain!) to function.
frankly? ban all plastics. require all public buildings to be solar powered. public community gardens in every neighborhood. ban all pesticides. ban fossil fuels. put wind turbines on every sky scraper. gardens on every rooftop. tax cars and fund public transportation. build bike lanes across every city. train/railroad infrastructure across the country (tear down highways). every state mandated to have a certain percentage of land be a wildlife preserve. local/organic farms get huge tax breaks. raise the minimum wage. aquaponics farms in every city. every family has chickens in their backyard. community composting. jeff bezos’s body for fertilizer. i have a clear idea of what i want the world to look like and i want it now. hire me

Adapted from a workshop I did at my high school Writing Center. One of my more helpful powerpoints; let me know if you need any clarifications. This is all my original work; please don’t remove the source.
hi guys! this is really out of nowhere, but like a lot of people, im in self isolation from COVID-19 at the moment, and I’m aware that many people are bored out of their minds being stuck at home. i am also tired and bored and satisfied at the moment so i’m making a list of suggestions to organize my plans for quarantine, which i will share with you guys!

- eat snack
- take a nap
- read or reread a really long slow burn fic

p.s. drink some water you lil gremlin then continue scrolling love u ❤️
It includes both movies and TV series, and it spans from cozy to mildly scary. I left out all major horror movies that have gore and graphic violence because I wanted to make a list that I can actually enjoy (I hate gore… and zombies)… and all the halloween movie lists I found are always focused on that.
As of today (sept.12) I’m working on a second part because I realized I left out a lot of stuff (including Charmed and Buffy… shame on me). It may take a while…
Also, I’m done with people insulting me about not putting up trigger warnings. This is just a movie list: if you want to avoid specific scenes, google the title you’re interested in and see if it’s appropriate for you. I’m not responsible for what you decide to watch. I won’t tolerate more comments of that sort.

Learning Languages and How to Make it Fun
(gifs not mine, credit to the artist)
How does a child learns? Immersion
So you gotta dive deep
Find songs that you like. You don't have to understand, you just have to enjoy the song.
Listen them at least once a day. The idea is for you to get familiar with the sounds.
Once you have already heard them too many times (without getting tired of them) look for the lyrics. In their native language, not a translation.
If you can read in that language, then try reading them. Print them if you have to or write them down (this is better) and as you listen to the song try to sing.
If there's a word/sentence you like because it sounds pretty, mark it.
If there's a word you don't know how to/can't pronounce, mark it.
For example, I have a journal in which I write Japanesse Kanji that I find beautiful (whether is because of the meaning or the symbol itself is pretty)
Once you are familiar with the song look for a translation.
Check those words you have marked with the translation.
While looking for definitions it's better if you find images (so can have an idea of what that word is) instead of a definition in your language (unless is a long/complicated concept).
Movies, you must watch movies in that language. Better if they are from that country. (It can also be a doubled movie, perhaps you could look for one of your favorites)
Watch them with subtitles (in your language) once or twice. Then watch them again but this time without subtitles or with subtitles of said language. (You already know the plot, so you can still understand what's going on)
If you like to read, look for children literature. It's easy and fun.
Keep reading even if you don't understand a single sh*t. It doesn't matter.
Mark again those words you like, don't know the meaning or can't pronounce.
Write at least one sentence every day. It doesn't have to be right, it doesn't have to be long or poetic, you just gotta write.
If you still don't know much about grammar (enough to formulate a sentence on your own) then write a quote from one of those songs, movies or books you read. Again it doesn't matter if you don't understand what are you writing.
If you already know another language, try to learn the new language with that one. For example, I learn german from english instead of my native language spanish.
Videogames. In my experience this is amazing. You have no idea idea how much I learned english just from games.
You have fun playing, engaged with a story, while constantly hearing the language. You don't even have to pay attention at what they are saying, eventually you'll figure it out. It's very intuitive.
And because games, usually, requires that you spend many hours playing you will have a lot of practice without actually studying.
Some games, if you look on the settings menu, even have other languages instead of english. For example I played Assassin's Creed Brotherhood in italian and french and AsC III in russian and japanese (the voice actors are fantastic).
Seriously, videogames are freaking amazing for learning.
The idea of this, is that you can imitate the learning process a child does, while also having fun and enjoying it. Kids learn by making mistakes, by playing with words and by being constantly surrounded with the language. At first, kids have no idea what they are doing, they just repeat what they see and hear. So it's okay if you don't know what are you doing, take that pressure off. This is not school/college, this is just you trying to learn a culture. So be kind and patient with yourself.
LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN, be creative with your methods and try everything (so you can find what you are comfortable with). It is scientifically proved that if you like what you are studying and having fun it will be 10x easier to assimilate and remember the knowledge you are acquiring.
