Life Hack - Tumblr Posts
Fun fact!
If you have an oral fixation, honey sticks and cinnamon sticks can be great to help with focusing!
...
Or daydreaming about giving oral, I mean, who am I to judge?
I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence
Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.
Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.
Something that brings me great joy: birds can literally be dragons if I want. Dragons can have feathers. Dragons can have a beak. Dragons... can just be birds... and they come in lots of colors and sizes. some live in cities. some hunt. some are super smart. some are fluffy. the world is such a magical place*

*This is sounds crazy, and I can barely put this thought into words, but its so real to me. magic is real, but people learned how it works, so its science.
what if we could understand magic and still have it feel special? life is so rare, and im here to enjoy it all (100% not disregarding science, love science, im just saying its so SPECIAL you know??)
Reblog this so people actually see it, I feel like it might be important. Dire even. To know.
Different Strokes?
I think I left the teller at the bank genuinely disturbed when I told him that “If I can’t afford it, I just don’t buy it.” “What about a car? Do you drive a car?” he inquired, his voice toning on the edge of fear.  I told him, “Yeah, I have a vehicle. I bought it used for under $3,000.” He looked physically pained. “What about if you want to buy some kind of new appliance? Or furniture?” he persisted. I stared at him blankly. “My couch was $5.00 at Goodwill. Like…I just buy shit cheap or I don’t buy it at all. The only thing in my life that I make payments on is my house, my bills, and my insurance, and that’s split five ways because I have housemates.” The young man looked horrified? Appalled? And somehow also awed? This guy couldn’t have been much older than me. But it seemed that he’d never even considered the option before of saving up for something to purchase it outright instead of using a credit card. Am I the only person in my general age group (just turned 26) who’s never owned a credit card, and who has forgone basic comforts in order to save up for items so you don’t owe money to anyone, like, ever?Â
LIFE HACK FOR TERM PAPERS
“Lucida Sans Unicode” takes up about 1.5x more page space than “Arial” and about 2x more space than “Times New Roman” with the same 12pt font.Â
Before you do something stupid, just think “Would Uncle Iroh be disappointed in me?” If so, don’t do it.

Meals and Snacks for Spoonies
We all know how the cycle works. We feel depressed, so we don’t eat. Or we eat crap. This makes us feel like crap, which makes us feel even more depressed, which makes us eat even more crap or keep an even more unhealthy meal schedule. And so the cycle continues.
Here’s a few food and meal hacks for spoonies that I’ve found have helped me actually stay healthy and eat regularly even on days when I can barely get out of bed, be it because of depression or anxiety or chronic pain - no yoga, no expensive produce, no nutritious meals that take three days’ worth of effort. Taking energy level and budget into account, let’s get into it.
Fruits and vegetables that stay fresh for a while and require no peeling/chopping/hassle Choosing fruits and vegetables that will both keep longer and take minimal effort is a great way to try and stay healthy while in a bad state. The following are also pretty cheap. No cooking necessary, either. âśż cherry tomatoes âśż seedless grapes âśż apples âśż carrots (baby or full) âśż broccoli (pre-cut) âśż snap peas âśż pears And if you have the budget, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, and plums are good, too.
Anything canned Foods that usually take a while to make or are sold at higher costs elsewhere are easy to find in the canned food isle. ✿ soup (“chunky” soups have lots of meats and vegetables to nourish you too) ✿ fruits and vegetables (look for minimal sugar content; don’t have to microwave) ✿ pastas ✿ beans (don’t have to microwave) And anything else in the canned food isle that catches your eye.
Nuts Nuts are a great way to get some of those important nutrients without having to splurge on or have to cook meats. They’re also easy to keep at your bedside for executive dysfunction. ✿ peanuts (cheapest) ✿ cashews (best for people that aren’t fans of nuts in general - soft, not a strong flavor) ✿ almonds (very vitamin-rich) ✿ mixed nut packages And any other nuts that you enjoy. Look for lightly-salted nuts so you don’t get too much salt in your system. If you’re not a fan of nuts, get cinnamon-and-sugar dusted nuts. Keep a bag or jar of nuts in your bedroom or at your bedside for difficult days so you don’t resort to binge-eating or skip eating entirely.
Frozen food and microwave-meals I’m sure you know the drill here. Microwave meals don’t need to be transferred nto another dish required as with canned foods. They also offers a wider variety of meals, often more balanced, than canned foods do. Frozen foods have a lot of the same traits as canned foods: stay fresh for a really long time, require minimal effort, but usually have to be dished. ✿ frozen waffles ✿ frozen breakfast sandwiches (easy access to eggs and meat) ✿ no need to list off microwaveable meals here - pick out whatever suits your tastes and your budget. Try not to aim for the nacho cheese corn dogs or double trouble burgers here.
** Meal supplement shakes ** These guys save my life sometimes. On my most horrible days, I reach for them. They’re literally meals in a bottle that you can either sip over the span of a few hours if your tummy isn’t feeling right or you can chug in a couple of minutes if you need a quick meal. Downside: they’re not on the cheap side and don’t stay fresh as long as my other options do. I think they’re totally worth it, though. ✿ my therapist recommended Ensure™ to me. I swear by them. Tastes like real chocolate milk. ✿ stroll down the meal supplements isle and pick out whatever looks most appealing to you. Tip: pour it into a wine glass to feel fancy if you need a morale pick-me-up.
Packaged snacks Stay good in the cabinet for months. I keep a pack of crackers by my bed all the time in case I find myself bed-ridden. âśż cheese sticks âśż granola bars âśż fruit snacks âśż individually-packaged lunch meat âśż yogurt cups âśż fruit cups âśż packs of crackers âśż any other packaged snacks you find appealing. Try to steer clear of individually-packaged ice creams or cookies if you struggle with binge eating. Go for a tub of ice cream or package of cookies instead for better habits and a lower cost.
Foods you can make in advance and eat for a few days You shouldn’t live exclusively off of these foods for days, but they make great meals if you have a high-energy day and can make a batch. ✿ rice (storage: let cool, wrap tightly in cling wrap, keep in fridge.) ✿ pasta (boil some water, chuck the noodles in, store it. Storage: let it cool, put it in a bowls/container, cover, refrigerate.) ✿ couscous
Easy-access starches Stay fresh for a while, pretty cheap if you don’t buy a fancy brand. ✿ loaves of bread (not sandwich bread, I’m talking those big loaves) ✿ bagels ✿ cereal (sugary or pure granola - you do you)
By the way, thank you all for your support lately! I hope I’m not being overbearing by repeating how greatful I am over and over again, but I’ve never really had encouraging people in my life before. It means a lot.
sometimes they really just be like Life Hack!!!!: make ur mirrors hard to clean
life hack if you want you can read "gm" (good morning) as "game master" and that way when people greet you through text abbreviation in the morning you can read "gm!" and go. hehe...... they are excited to greet me, the game master........ they call out my title with joy in their fingertips....
I've gotten into the habit of texting people I'm thinking about, just to let them know I'm thinking about them. At first I felt weird doing it, but I'm discovering people really enjoy receiving a message like that.
I send them to my grandparents that I don't get to see very often, my parents who miss me more because I've moved out, and friends I haven't been able to talk to in awhile.
I've got a lot of love to give, so why not give it
i wish i had a sword to rest my wrist on during polite conversation and pleasant strolls so that i knew what to do with my hands for fucking once
Putting this as a reminder for next year as well!
Christmas movie bingo!
Playing bingo makes low budget Christmas movies even more fun. You can make free bingo cards here. It will randomly generate a card and you can text a link to friends which will make a unique card each time it’s clicked. You can mark off the squares on your phone.

That moment when you're going on a diet and you're kinda struggling with it, cause, I mean, food, but your therapist compares your hunger to an abuser and says your hunger be like 'feed me' and you're like 'damn, ok how much?' and so your therapist asks you if you want to keep being your hungers little bitch and you're like, 'hey, I don't wanna be my hungers little bitch!' and now you're sticking to your diet way better
New life hack I picked up: If you’re ever about to cry, the easiest way to hold back tears is to think of the dirtiest, raunchiest sex scene you can imagine. The more kinky and over the top the better, because when you’re imagining someone getting pounded in the ass dressed up in a lolita costume, its nearly impossible for tears to come out
