Now that we’re about a month into the new year, I find myself losing steam on my resolutions around this time. I thought I’d start a little challenge that is open to anyone to join to help us stay on track and have some fun together! This is the 30-Day New Year Momentum Challenge (#30nym)
What you need to know (but none of this is mandatory to be clear!!):
Open to absolutely anyone, and you can start whenever and post at your own pace
So you can post as often or as little as you want - this is by no means designed to be a 30-days-in-a-row thing (I actually expect this challenge to take up most of my year)
Answer each prompt as a caption to a photo post OR as a standalone prompt (or you can answer a batch of questions as one caption/post, whatever!)
The ultimate goal here is to learn about others’ goals and methods of achieving them + create a teeny little community for our goals
TAG YOUR CHALLENGE POSTS WITH #30NYM and reblog this so more can join/so you can share with the community! Not required at all but this way we can all follow along with each other!!
psst you can also tag em #heyshef if you want me to see them
If this sounds like something you’d be into, prompts are below the cut ↓
Tumblr media
please feel free to DM me with any questions/etc about this challenge! and remember to tag your posts with #30nym! im really looking forward to doing some of these challenges over time together ^^

it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

"The idea of reforming Omelas is a pleasant idea, to be sure, but it is one that Le Guin herself specifically tells us is not an option. No reform of Omelas is possible — at least, not without destroying Omelas itself:
If the child were brought up into the sunlight out of that vile place, if it were cleaned and fed and comforted, that would be a good thing, indeed; but if it were done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed. Those are the terms.
'Those are the terms', indeed. Le Guin’s original story is careful to cast the underlying evil of Omelas as un-addressable — not, as some have suggested, to 'cheat' or create a false dilemma, but as an intentionally insurmountable challenge to the reader. The premise of Omelas feels unfair because it is meant to be unfair. Instead of racing to find a clever solution ('Free the child! Replace it with a robot! Have everyone suffer a little bit instead of one person all at once!'), the reader is forced to consider how they might cope with moral injustice that is so foundational to their very way of life that it cannot be undone. Confronted with the choice to give up your entire way of life or allow someone else to suffer, what do you do? Do you stay and enjoy the fruits of their pain? Or do you reject this devil’s compromise at your own expense, even knowing that it may not even help? And through implication, we are then forced to consider whether we are — at this very moment! — already in exactly this situation. At what cost does our happiness come? And, even more significantly, at whose expense? And what, in fact, can be done? Can anything?
This is the essential and agonizing question that Le Guin poses, and we avoid it at our peril. It’s easy, but thoroughly besides the point, to say — as the narrator of 'The Ones Who Don’t Walk Away' does — that you would simply keep the nice things about Omelas, and work to address the bad. You might as well say that you would solve the trolley problem by putting rockets on the trolley and having it jump over the people tied to the tracks. Le Guin’s challenge is one that can only be resolved by introspection, because the challenge is one levied against the discomforting awareness of our own complicity; to 'reject the premise' is to reject this (all too real) discomfort in favor of empty wish fulfillment. A happy fairytale about the nobility of our imagined efforts against a hypothetical evil profits no one but ourselves (and I would argue that in the long run it robs us as well).
But in addition to being morally evasive, treating Omelas as a puzzle to be solved (or as a piece of straightforward didactic moralism) also flattens the depth of the original story. We are not really meant to understand Le Guin’s 'walking away' as a literal abandonment of a problem, nor as a self-satisfied 'Sounds bad, but I’m outta here', the way Vivier’s response piece or others of its ilk do; rather, it is framed as a rejection of complacency. This is why those who leave are shown not as triumphant heroes, but as harried and desperate fools; hopeless, troubled souls setting forth on a journey that may well be doomed from the start — because isn’t that the fate of most people who set out to fight the injustices they see, and that they cannot help but see once they have been made aware of it? The story is a metaphor, not a math problem, and 'walking away' might just as easily encompass any form of sincere and fully committed struggle against injustice: a lonely, often thankless journey, yet one which is no less essential for its difficulty."
- Kurt Schiller, from "Omelas, Je T'aime." Blood Knife, 8 July 2022.

9/11~9/15
My nose has been in the books all week just studying cell and micro biology. The workload is finally starting to ramp up and I'm just trying to keep calm and figure out when's the best time to study.
I've been trying to figure out a new way to study biology since it's more diagrams-based compared to my previous classes, and I found this video on Instagram about using paper clips to secure flashcards to spiral notebooks. This is simply genius! Now I don't have to leave random blank spaces in my notes and can draw diagrams and mechanisms on the flashcard. And the best part is that I can flip it over and draw something else!

Week of 9/5~9/8
The weather has been very nice where I am so I decided to take my studying outside! There's nothing better than partial shade and a slight breeze in the air as you push through Descartes' meditations.
I made myself the goal this year to try to study outside of my room as much as possible because I can get too comfortable with being holed up and disconnected from society and that's not healthy...
On another note, the reality of how close I am to finishing my degrees is finally setting in and I'm trying so hard not to panic. I'm like Rory in season 7 when she dyed her hair and cried on the bathroom floor because she doesn't know what to do post college. (whoops, spoilers) I've spent most of my life working towards the goal of graduating from college and now that I'm starting to see the finish line, the unknown looms ahead. Will I continue with my education? Will I get into the workforce? Will I even be able to find a job that will be able to financially support me? I don't know yet. All I know is that I need to get comfortable with the idea pretty quickly because whether I like it or not, it's happening.

Studyblr Intro!
Hello everyone! I wanted to do a studyblr intro since I've been MIA for a while and a new school year just started.
I'm a 3rd year student working towards a double degree in biology and philosophy! My biology interests are:
plant biology
food science (concentrating on sustainability)
micro-organisms
My philosophy interests are:
metaphysics
philosophy of the natural sciences
Spinoza
Leibniz
Einstein (yes, I consider him a philosopher)
I hope in the future to get a PhD in either specialization and become a professor!
Some of my interests are:
Gilmore Girls
reading
nail art (I work with regular nail polish because I like to change my nails almost every week)
chess
exploring fun cafes and places to eat
video games (Undertale, mmo games, rpg games)
Feel free to message me about anything studyblr-related or about any of my interests, I'm always open to talk!
