To Anyone That Hasn’t Had Their First Kiss Yet, Or Has Never Been Asked Out On A Date, Or Asked Anyone

PSA: Just because I’m a lesbian, doesn’t mean that I’m attracted to every female that I see.

LIKE SERIOUSLY.

I wouldn’t help but notice that you like and reblog a lot of Peaky Blinders fanfics. Which are you favourites? I’m new and looking for something good to read

Hi, anon!! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I’ve been on holiday for the last week.

This is probably gonna be a very long list as I honestly love any piece of peaky blinder fanfic I read and think that it’s astounding how many talented writers are in this fandom! (Just a heads up I tend to lean more to Tommy, Alfie, and Michael fics more than anything so if you prefer Arthur, John, or any of the girls I’m sorry!!). Also, I’m gonna just tag my favourite writers and their master lists as this is probably more efficient than individual fics, but I will put links to specific ones if I think you should give them a read.

@prettieparker86 Masterlist:  “In The Bleak Midwinter” -  This series I highly recommend and it is for Tommy

@buckys-beach  “A Shelby Caught Out With A Solomons” : They don’t have a master list so I’ve linked my favourite series

@torialeysha   Alfie fics: No master list and I couldn’t get a link of just “cold Feet”  so I just tagged all Alfie fics.

@everyonesawhoregrace  master list: I recommend two series, one is called “Temptations” and the other is called “psycho”.

@bonniebird master list: Covers most of the characters

@blinder-secrets master list: Lots of writing

@birminghamblinders master list: mostly for Tommy

@shelbylimiited master list: Some family imagines as well

@xcheekyblindersx master list: A mix of smut and fluff

@wishfulwriter master list: Lots of choices

@all-about-that-fandoms peaky blinders: I couldn’t find a master list so I’m just tagging all their peaky blinder related stuff

@peakyimagines master list: A good name

@blinderbrothers master list: A few more fics for Arthur

@collecting-stories master list: lots for everyone

@peakyblindersimagineblog  They reblog a lot of single fics so you don’t have to read series

@peakywritings master list: lots of short imagines

@peakyblinders1919 master list: lots of series to read

@tommysmutnothingbut : I think they may have deactivated but their smut was amazingly detailed

@lucachangretta master list: writes for luca

@hardyimagines master list: Its Just for Alfie

@johnsheiby master list:   Does more for the brothers and does smut                                                                                                                               I’m never going to be able to fit and list everyone who writes for Peaky blinders on this list but these are the writers/blogs that come to mind. Each story, fanfiction, imagine, headcanon, and blurb is written for free by everyday people in their own time (This mini-rant wasn’t caused by you anon, it’s just something I needed to get off my chest) Each piece is amazingly written and every plot is incredibly put together! Fanfiction is a privilege and everyone who writes it is amazing. These stories are honestly awesome and it is an honor to read them. I hope this has given you some choice anon in what to read and I’m glad I could help!❤ 

(Thought some of the heretics in the audience might appreciate this. It’s a great reference, and doesn’t get mentioned as often as I’d expect.)

How to use technology as a learning tool

With technology at your fingerprints, the learning possibilities are endless. Today, there are countless apps, websites and programs that can help you gain new skills and do well in school. However, it is sometimes hard to find the best resources for you. 

Using technology as a learning tool is a great way to add to your CV, resume, or college application. Whether it be notetaking, revising or learning a random skill, below I outline some of the best ways to leverage the power of technology for your educational benefit:

Record your classes with Audipo 

How many times have you sat in a lecture and absorbed absolutely nothing? Rather than having to borrow notes from your friend — who was probably also half-asleep — Audipo makes it easy to playback recorded classes. 

All you have to do is record the audio from your class and upload it onto the app. Audipo allows you to change the speed of the recording, rewind and skip forward with ease. It even remembers where you left off, which is useful if you don’t have the time to sit through an entire recording at once. 

Learn a language using Duolingo

Who doesn’t love the cheery, albeit somewhat threatening, Duolingo owl? Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it is likely that you have heard of this ever-popular language learning app (or at least seen the memes). 

Duolingo gives you the opportunity to learn 22 languages for free. With an engaging and interactive design as well as a lesson plan for every level, Duolingo offers a personalised learning experience with immediate grading and motivating rewards. 

Knowing multiple languages is a great skill to have, so if you have some free time I definitely recommend this one. 

Take beautiful digital notes with Evernote

If you’re the type of person that prefers digital notes over paper, Evernote is for you. Digital notes have the advantage of being accessible everywhere, easy to read and eco-friendly. Available on mobile and PC, Evernote is my software of choice for beautiful notes.

Learn to code with Codecademy

In our increasingly digital and technology-driven world, coding is an in-demand skill. Codecademy offers free classes in 12 different programming languages including Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, C++, and Sass, as well as markup languages such as HTML and CS. 

With just a little time, you can learn the basics of coding and add a valuable skill to your CV. Not only will Codecademy help your employment prospects but it is fun, interactive and engaging. 

Revise with Gojimo

Gojimo markets itself as ‘the UK’s most popular revision app’. But even if you’re from America, you can probably benefit from this app. Gojimo gives you access to over 40,000 practice questions for free, including 28 GCSE subjects, 20 A Level subjects, and SAT, ACT and AP preparation.

It is a simple revision app which allows you to access special quizzes, track your progress and check off topics as you learn them. 

Make flashcards using Quizlet

It is widely known that flashcards are one of the most effective study methods. Testing yourself not only helps the understand of your subjects but is also useful for memorising specific facts. 

Quizlet is a great app/website to make (and share!) flashcards for free. You can even search for and access flashcard sets made by other students. Quizlet offers many ways of helping you revise flashcards, from regular testing to interactive games, there is something for every type of learner. 

Mind map with AYOA

Previously known as iMindMap, AYOA is a Mind Mapping software tool. Mind maps are a great way of connecting ideas and summarising content, especially for messy learners! AYOA allows you to create beautiful, aesthetic mind maps to help you revise. You can try it for free.

Make a cheat-sheet with Cheatography

Cheatography is used by students and business professionals alike. In essence, Cheatography allows you to make your own cheat sheets as well as access over 3000 for free. There are resources about almost every subject in every language, so if you’re looking for some study material it is probably worth checking out. 

Learn anything with Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization providing free expert-created content and resources on a variety of topics. Whether it be Maths, English or Cosmology, Khan Academy has a myriad of resources to help get you started.

There are resources for almost every course and year level, so it is my go-to source if I need some help understanding something or just want to learn something new.

Get inspired with some TED Talks

There are expert TED talks available for free on Youtube for almost every topic. Perhaps poetry is your passion, or maybe urban planning — whatever the case there is likely to be a TED talk for you. These allow you to get an insight into the greatest minds in different industries, broadening your horizons and expanding your knowledge.

Yes, it might be sitting and watching, but learning is never a bad use of your time. 

I based these recommendations on my personal experience, are there any apps/websites I missed? Any resources I should check out? Let me know!
