My names Izzy, but I prefer Black Magick or just Magick for short. I pretty much live by Peace. Love.Unity.Respect. I'm just trying to find my place in the universe and help other people find theirs.
I'm super friendly, just hit me up...lets share thoughts and ideas
i’m trying to get money together for fixing my teeth after most of them were smashed out in a transphobic assault a while back, and i’m about to hit a huge milestone with that, i’m only about $525 from having a huge chunk able to be taken care of, and i’m so fucking grateful for anyone and everyone who’s helped spread my posts and donated to me, this is incredible. if anyone can help with anything more to push me over this next hurdle, it would be so goddamn appreciated and i can’t even begin to express how much it’ll mean to me, you’re literally helping me eat and not be in agony constantly. my paypal is paypal.me/awesomandias or at manicpixietransgrrrl@gmail.com, i wish it wouldn’t deadname me but whatcha gonna do, and my venmo is @lyrafromtheinternet. any little bit is so fucking helpful, and gets me closer to being able to smile and not have nails jamming into my skull from the pain 🖤

Honestly she probably could have.
The Addamses may well be the healthiest, most functional family unit to ever grace the small screen.
I think I’ve told this story before, but I read an article a long time ago that they asked children who watched this show why they loved it. They expected answers to be about how they like the weird, slightly creepy stuff. But no, most of the kids answered that it was because the Mommy and Daddy loved each other so much.
Solar panels could increase productivity on pastures that are not irrigated and even water-stressed, a new study finds. The new study published in PLOS One by researchers at Oregon State College finds that grasses and plants flourish in the shade underneath solar panels because of a significant change in moisture. The results bolster the argument for agrovoltaics, the concept of using the same area of land for solar arrays and farming. The idea is to grow food and produce clean energy at the same time.
Oh! I actually heard about this!! At the Sheep & Wool Festival there was a woman shearing a sheep, so we took Farmkid over to watch, and the woman started telling us that this was a new breed of sheep they were trying to get to catch on in the region, and they were pretty decent for wool but the big thing that they were useful for was grazing under solar installations, because they were small but not super into jumping. Some sheep are too large to fit under the panels, and some are too vertically-inclined and like to climb on them, which can damage them, so these particular sheep were in the sweet spot of being smallish but not great jumpers.
Apparently that’s where the money is. Because otherwise you have to mow the grass under the panels, and ride-on lawn mowers don’t fit. (If you don’t keep the foliage down, it can take over the field and shade your solar panels.)
Shepherds can make most of their profit by hiring their flock out to keep a solar installation grazed down, and it’s extra-great because solar installations tend to have good forage under them.
(what does it say about the state of america’s foodways that you otherwise often can’t make money on raising livestock except in horrifying confinement operations, however? the woman was absolutely clear that the sheep didn’t break even on wool or meat, but if you could get solar gigs you were golden. Isn’t that sad?)
i graduated a few years ago and i want to share with you some things:
I grew up being called ’gifted’ and smart. I did really well in school, to the point my identity depended on it. Then in college, I failed entire semesters, more than once. I also dropped out at one point.
It was devastating and I was terrified.
And yet: EVERYTHING TURNED OUT OK.
B/c despite what they’d have you believe, this is not the end of the world, and you are going to be okay.
Repeat it with me: You are going to be okay.
It’s common to feel like “everything depends on this.” I promise: it doesn’t. A couple things I want you to know
***Your worth & intelligence is absolutely absolutely ABSOLUTELY not based on or reflected by your grades.***
The atmosphere you’re currently in breeds stress. Educational institutions have this messed up culture that pushes our minds into an ’emergency mode’ that does not reflect reality and forces you to panic unnecessarily. That’s why:
Things are never as desperate as they feel.
The panic you’re feeling is something you’ve been trained to feel, but it is not truthful.
If you don’t do as well as you hoped: sweetheart, that Is fine. We naturally aim for more than we can reasonably manage, in order to push ourselves. Not reaching a goal doesn’t mean you ‘failed’, it means you aimed high and I’m proud of you.
Everyone who has ever done anything has failed at some point. People who never fail are people who never try.
Failing a class/classes is NOT the end of the line. Sometimes we need more time, or a second chance. Sometimes we need a different direction
For years I thought I wanted to be an engineer. I declared that major as a freshman. I ended up retaking several classes before realizing that no, this subject was not actually a good fit and didn’t me happy.
The subject I eventually got a degree in? I actually had to retake a few of the introductory classes, alongside classmates who weren’t even in the program but seemed to have an easier time than me. At the time I was embarrassed. Now, I’m proud that i stuck with it
Please do not be afraid to ask for help even/especially when a deadline has passed/you feel ashamed for not asking sooner. Or rather: please ask for help even when you’re scared and it’s late in the semester. It literally cannot hurt.
You are still learning how to learn, teach yourself, and self-monitor. This is a Huge Big Part of being an Adult that very few of us don’t get formal training for. So of course you will make mistakes along the way. Mistakes are a symptom of progress.
You are making progress, and for that alone you deserve to celebrate yourself
Hey gaud how come you can be both omnious and wholesome i love you
get you a cryptic entity who can do both
“Not reaching a goal doesn’t mean you ‘failed’, it means you aimed high and I’m proud of you.”
“***Your worth & intelligence is absolutely absolutely ABSOLUTELYnot based on or reflected by your grades.***”
I needed this so much. Thank you.
I needed this when I was younger! so now it’s my privilege to pass it on
For the record–when you gremlins allow my words to comfort you, or allow my content to help you feel better, you are really giving me a gift.
Let me just add some color to the wlw side of tumblr…
There’s one actress in this post who has played a queer character on three… not one not two, three different shows
UPDATE…
Finally reached 100
For those who don’t know these women, you can find the shows for the 68 women from my original post listed below. I didn’t keep a list of the shows for the 32 characters added on updates but a google search of their names should pull up their tv/streaming/youtube series. #RepresentationMatters
remember when tumblr had blogs with like 100k followers who had one-word urls like ‘pizza’ and they all got banned for scamming their young impressionable followers into buying weight loss supplements
Please don’t remind me how long I’ve been on this site
