Tips for living alone for the first time

I moved out a year ago and thought it'd be cool to share what I've learned so you don't have to suffer as much :,)

Decide a day to sit down and pay all bills and everyone

Know and accept you won't get your initial budget right, it took me a year

Google is your friend, but people are better.

Especially when looking for cheap markets and places to eat, or safe streets to walk around, people know more than google.

4. Speaking of cheap markets... get those (free) memberships for discounts. But most importantly, dowload and check every supermarket app and search for the cheapest one.

5. When looking for a place to live, try to speak with people who live there and check google maps reviews and your countrys site for custumers complaints.

6. You likely don't need to clean as often as your family told you, but cleaning your place will make you feel better. And you gotta clean the fridge. And hair. So much hair.

7. If you don't have a fridge, just a small cooler, check if the building has a common fridge/kitchen and Don't. Be. Shy to use it please.

I recommend not moving into a place without a fridge if you don't plan on eating out or going to the market every two days.

8. Carry your documents with you, or write them down or make a copy. I recommend not carrying the original since if you lose it/get mugged it's a pain in the ass to get it fixed.

9. Cook as much as you can in one go, but don't overwhelm yourself. Get those washed vegetables and cut onions, do what you need so you don't end up exhausted and crying on the floor... not that I've ever done that myself...

10. It's gonna feel hard at times and that's ok! The freedom is worth it, and after a year I'm really happy with all the progress I've made

11. Avoid pets, especially in a scenario that you're moving around or in a small studio or with financial difficulties (this can change from ppl to ppl etc)

12. Join or make a chat group with everyone in the building, without the sindicate so y'all can be honest about complains and create a single, solid complaint before showing it to the sindicate. (apartment manager? syndic? assignee? idk, whoever fixes things)

That's all I can remember for now, feel free to ad or correct me if you like :)

i really love the art and writing you're doing for this, and i can't wait to see more!

i have a question. how does the actual clangen gameplay of this all look? when i play, events seem to happen so rapidly that i rarely have a chance to actually write any of it down and retain any of it, so i'm wondering if you have a specific playstyle that helps make the "story" of risingclan easier to write

The real answer is that you just have to slow down. I've found, especially after the Potato Update, this also increases your cats chances of survival.

So when I sit down to take notes (check this post if you're interested in my note taking format), I'll click "Timeskip One Moon" and write down anything notable from the moon events; births and deaths, any serious injuries, naming ceremonies, any new mate pairs or accessories, etc. Sometimes I also check the relationships section for anything interesting, but not usually since there are a lot of cats now and the relationships tab has become overwhelming.

Then I go to my cat list and name any kits, newcomers, or new warriors. I also usually change mentor apprentice pairs to make more sense, like if an apprentice is insecure I pair them with a loving mentor instead of a bloodthirsty one you know? I also make sure that brand new warriors aren't getting apprentices over older cats who've never mentored one.

Then I mediate as many pairs as I am able and go to patrols. I pair the cats up making sure to mix high experience with low experience or pair cats I want to date off so they can bond. If something seems like it would definitely kill someone I skip it. After each patrol, if something interesting happens (say a couple gets a cute romantic interaction or a new cat joins or an apprentice gets hurt) I take a moment to write it down. Repeat until everyone has gone on patrol and then start at the beginning again.

It's pretty simple! Just take your time to make sure you read every notif and then write it down. I honestly started doing this because I realized i was speeding through patrols and I was barely processing anything that happened in my games. So I started writing everything down and got really invested in that clan and thought, man I wanna share it with people! And that gave me the idea to start RisingClan.

Good luck with your Clans, go forth and have fun!

DAILY REMINDER:

Every time you believe, something comes true.

If you believe that brushing your hair will make it longer, it will automatically become true.

Every object you own can function in the same way.

Astral Travel or Imagination?

How to tell if your mediations are real- Via telepathic communication with King Asmodeus.

I sometimes have trouble trusting my intuition on what I see or conversations I have while in meditation. So Asmodeus helped me come up with ways to know, I thought this may help others if they have similar experiences.

Do they feel real? (mentally or emotionally) If you concentrate hard enough can you physically feel something. (like a chair perhaps the texture, the coolness or warmth of it ect)

Do you lead the meditation or does it lead you? Unlike lucid dreaming where if your in control then it's not just a dream. In the astral alot like the 3D you can't control everything, yes you can control your actions and to a certain extent the environment. (like your safe space) But you can't control other beings or what happens around you. If you feel like you are it's probably imagination & not actual astral travel.

If you're walking (or flying) around and it looks like areas you've never seen before or beings you've never come across (That you didn't know about in the waking world but find out they exist after) or a word pops into your head that you aren't familiar with but upon researching you find out it's real and it's connected to the meditation, then it's probably an accurate astral (or Underworld) meditation.

Communicating with other beings or deities and making sure it was an accurate conversation is a bit trickier. Since you cannot read another's mind (human or not) at least not the one's I work with.

Some ways though would be, are they telling you what you want to hear? Is everything great and you never have issues (unless you create drama on purpose)

Who leads the conversation? Did you learn anything new or are you just feeding your own ego? Do you agree on everything? Probably not a real conversation then.

Do they tell you things you don't agree with? Things you may not know or haven't considered?

Things that may even make you uncomfortable? (Especially in working with Demons, Angels & Trickster Gods.) That was probably a real conversation. Really if you gain something from it then it doesn't really matter.

Ways to know or confirm once you wake in the 3D.

Ask whatever beings (if you can) if what you experienced was true! Where they really there? Was it an accurate conversation? What were they trying to show you?

You can do this through channeling (via another person or yourself) Tarot or another form of divination.

Do not wait months (like I did) for confirmation or signs. If one does pop up (an actual image of an item you saw in astral and thought it didn't exist, A quote, a video that correlates.) months, weeks later. Then it is probably significant.

That item is important or the entity it is tied to (if you know there is one) is probably trying to reach out and remind you of something.

In conclusion there is not definitive way of proving your meditations are real so just be aware, follow your instincts and don't jump to conclusions!

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how much I wish we were taught in school how to interact with people online (and just how to use the internet in general) and then I remembered that I can type.

So, without further ado, I present…

How to Argue with People on the Internet

A (sort of) comprehensive guide on discussing everything from world peace to your blorbos

Forewordwarning: This is a long (but hopefully useful and entertaining) post. You have been warned.

SECTION I: The Decision

I have read SO many posts that essentially say “want to stop getting annoyed and fighting strangers? Just don’t! Simply do not!” and if that works for you? Fantastic! That is commendable and I salute you for it and I’m only a little bit jealous. (Okay, maybe more than a little bit jealous.) But if you’re like me—an absolute yapper, that is— you will likely find yourself in quite a few situations where you simply must yap. The urge is too strong. The stupidity of this collection of pixels on your screen that may or may not be the vessel for another human somewhere in the world is too much and you just have to tell them so. I understand. I will not tell you to hold back. I will, however, advise that before engaging with any individuals, you follow a few simple steps that I like to call “RAT”— otherwise known as Rest, Analyze, and Type.

Let’s say, for a moment, that you’ve just run into a comment hating on your favorite character in your favorite TV show. Yes, that one. You want to reply—but wait—you’ve just remembered to use RAT first! You intelligent human, you.

First, you REST. You take a moment to bookmark the comment (whether mentally or literally is up to you) and you step away from your phone (or you do what I do and look at that one youtube video of a parrot asking Alexa to fart 939472 times, you know the one) and you wait. Is this comment something you’re willing to take time out of your day to handle? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with deciding that it is, in fact, worth it— but it’s important to consider it first. You won’t ever have time to talk about the things you’re actually passionate about if you reply to every comment that bothers you. (Trust me— I’ve been there.)

Now, if you’ve decided to continue, reopen the comment and ANALYZE. This can mean many different things depending on the situation: is this comment generated by an AI? Is this person expressing a genuine opinion, or are they a troll? Have other people argued with them? If so, how did they respond? These are all important questions to ask, but it’s okay if you don’t know the answers to all of them. Just get the best information you can; you can always come back to this step later.

Finally, it’s time to TYPE. Let those words fly, friend! You tell ‘em!

SECTION II: Debating vs Fighting

So, you’ve RATted it up, and now you’ve decided it’s time to yap. But how to go about this? Should you be aggressive? Appeal to the enemy? What to do? Don’t worry, I’ve got another acronym for you! It’s time to take MOUSE into account: Motive, Openness, Understanding, Success, and Education.

First, think about your own MOTIVE. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to change the other person’s mind? Are you unconcerned with changing their mind, instead going in with the intention to change the minds of others who might be reading through the conversation? Do you not care about changing anyone’s mind and simply want to discuss the topic at hand? All of these are valid, but they’re all very different. Deciding what your goal is prior to replying is one of the most important things about debating, whether it’s over the internet or face-to-face.

Once you’ve got that cleared up, it’s time to consider your OPENNESS and UNDERSTANDING. How open are you to potentially having your mind changed? Can you see a piece of truth in the other side of the argument? Do you understand where the commenter is coming from, or are they just being ridiculous? It’s okay to have opinions you aren’t open to changing on a whim— everyone has core beliefs that shape who they are as people. But sometimes looking at the other side through a lens of open-mindedness and a desire to understand is the most effective thing you can do. Give it a try— the worst thing that happens is the other person being just as bad as you thought they were.

Next, it’s time to address SUCCESS. What would succeeding look like here? This is similar to MOTIVE, but now we’re looking at the potential completion of the debate. What is the outcome you’re striving for?

Finally, EDUCATION. Is this a fact-based topic you want to educate people about, or is it purely opinion-driven? Either is fine, but if it’s fact-based, you should brush up on the facts of the situation— you don’t want to be caught in a lie and potentially humiliated, I hope. Also, misinformation on the internet is a huge issue. But mostly the humiliation thing.

Section III: Tips and Tricks

My last acronym contains an assortment of tips and tricks for internet usage and communication: Consent, Anonymity, Privacy, Yapping, Blocking, Apps, Reason, and Ability (CAPYBARA).

One of the most important things in life and on the internet is CONSENT. Now, this doesn’t mean you have to ask permission to voice your opinions— just that you should take into consideration the actual, living person on the other side of the screen. (Unless you’re arguing with an AI, in which case I suppose it probably doesn’t care much one way or the other). Ask before you DM people unless they state that their DMs are open. If someone blocks you, DO NOT make another account to harass them (yes, even if they’re really terrible). Consent online may look different than it does in real life, but it still follows the same ground rule: when in doubt, ASK.

ANONYMITY is another important thing to consider when you’re surfing among the virtual tides. Remember that even if someone displays their real name and picture on a website, you still don’t know them. They could be someone entirely different from the persona they’ve put up on the internet, and that’s okay. We all act differently depending on the situations and settings we’re in, and that’s dialed waaaay up when social media allows us to literally customize ourselves into what we want other people to see. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat people as if they’re real, but it does mean that you should take everything with a grain of salt— especially if someone is being an absolute jerk.

Okay, PRIVACY is the one section in here that anyone under a certain age probably did learn in class— along with its annoying younger cousin, PIRACY (you wouldn’t steal a CAR, would you?) You probably know by now that you shouldn’t share personal data online, so I won’t go into this one too much in this post. There are a billion textbooks about it, and as important as it is, it’s not something I’m really qualified to cover. Just don’t do anything stupid and you should be fine.

YAPPING— everyone’s favorite thing to do on the internet! For the most part, this is a reminder that you should have fun. If you feel like you can’t yap about your interests in the space you’re in, maybe you should relocate— whether that’s to a different app, a different blog, or even just to a different comment section is up to you. You should feel free to voice your opinions and talk about the things you love (within reason—don’t get yourself on an FBI watchlist—but you get the idea).

BLOCKING is one of the most underrated features on many social media apps. There is absolutely nothing wrong with blocking someone and moving on. It doesn’t make you a coward; it makes you someone who values your own time and safety. You are never obligated to argue with someone just because they said so. And—this is one of my favorite internet secrets—you can block people you agree with. If someone’s posts are well-meaning and useful, but they upset you or make you uncomfortable? You can still block them, or mute/restrict them if the app you’re using allows it. You are not a bad person for not wanting to see things that upset you in your day-to-day life. You can support good causes without reading about tragedies every morning. Digging yourself into a depressive hole isn’t going to help anything. Please, please use the block button. It’s there for a reason.

APPS are another variable you should consider when catering your online experience. For instance, you can make a nuanced post on Tumblr and more realistically expect reasonable replies because you aren’t confined to a tiny amount of characters. Trying to express the same point on Twitter, however, likely risks people getting extremely angry at you due to the nature of the app not allowing nuanced conversations. That’s not to say Tumblr is necessarily superior— just that they’re different areas with different setups. The reason Twitter is so no-nuance a lot of the time isn’t just due to the people— the app is deliberately set up so that users can’t make multiple points in one post. This also attracts people who don’t want to have nuanced conversations, which feeds the cycle. This is an (extremely oversimplified) explanation of why most social media apps feel so separate from each other, even if you follow all the same people. You should know your audience—but you should also know your stage.

It’s important to have a certain amount of REASON and common sense when you’re talking to someone about the skrunkly little guys in your favorite movie. It’s not that you can’t be passionate—I once essentially made an entire powerpoint presentation about why I think my opinion about a fictional cat person is the correct one—but you need to remember that not everything is the same level of seriousness. Expressing an opinion about whether Team Rocket are actually villains is not the same thing as expressing an opinion about the upcoming US election. (Though I think Team Rocket could potentially do an okay job, to be honest. Meowth 2024?) You can 100% have intense, long discussions about fictional characters, but it’s never worth genuinely harming your own mental health or attacking someone else because of an opinion that ultimately doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s okay to agree to disagree.

Lastly, remember that a lot of this is not intuitive. Your ABILITY to make smart decisions online is a skill that takes time to develop (as is evidenced by 99% of past me’s Twitter posts) and it’s important to give yourself grace. As much as the internet hates to admit it, we all make mistakes. Just own up to those mistakes and move on. It’s okay to delete a post you made because you don’t agree with it anymore. It’s okay to come back to an argument and apologize for going too far. It’s okay to not be perfect. Accept the consequences of your own actions and move forward.

An executive dysfunctionists guide to tricking your body into getting restful sleep:

Turning slow tigers into fast tigers

Old tumblr trick for insomnia/anxiety. Clench your whole body really tight for like 10 seconds to a minute and then relax. Tricks your body into thinking the tigers are gone

Wet box sleeping beauty

This is my personal favorite but it takes some spoons so it’s not always the best

Start at like dinner time: eat food that is safe and happy and valuable, no bird snacks, no snake meals, no girl dinner, eat some high value safe food.

Either change your bedsheets or if you don’t have enough spoons for that lay a spare sheet over your stuff and just change your pillowcases

Fill the tub and take a bath or take a shower if you don’t have a tub

For a shower, make sure you can reach the controls while sitting down, and spend the last rinse of your shower on the floor or in a shower chair if you have one. Try to really connect with your body if you can. When you’re done turn off the shower and let yourself feel how heavy your bones are for a minute. Then get up get ready for bed and beeline don’t rush but try not to get sidetracked, climb in, set your alarm (if you need one), and relax.

For a bath, take your bath like normal until you unplug the tub. Right after you unplug the tub lay back and get comfortable. Make sure your whole back is on the bottom of the tub and don’t move until the water is all gone. And just sit for a minute in touch with your body and the weight of gravity. Then same thing, get ready for bed and beeline to your bed.

A clean bed and a clean body will do wonders for this method and your mental health

Bedtime clock

This one is more about once you’re already in bed

Have an alarm clock that shuts off at a certain time. Mine goes off at 10pm and die come back on until 6am.

If you can’t see what time it is you can’t be anxious about all the sleep you’re missing

If you can’t sleep and it’s distressing you, get up and get a glass of water or go to the bathroom and brush your hair or something. Just get up do an activity and then go lay down again.

MythBusters proved that you don’t even actually have to sleep to rest. Just lay down and close your eyes in a quiet dark room and you’ll be way better off than having not rested at all, it’s not a permanent solution but it’s definitely better for you than nothing.

Soothing noises

Rain sounds and white noise etc etc

I personally HATE looped sounds if I can hear where it loops I’ll start counting seconds between each loop so a lot of white noise doesn’t work for me

There are full YouTube channels dedicated to recorded monsoons. My personal favorite is TexasHighDef shout out for real, gets me through every single uncomfortable/loud/new sleeping environment

I fully cannot sleep without my rain sounds anymore so this one is Kind of a double edged sword.

Putting away the evil box

People harp on this one all the time but it works.

Set your alarm for the morning (if you use your phone) and set an alarm for at least half an hour before when you want bedtime to be.

When the bedtime alarm goes off, Turn Off Your Phone. Plug it in do all the things you need to do to get ready for bed and pull out an activity that has no screen. And just hang out until bedtime.

Put away your evil little box and once it’s away don’t pull out a different evil box. If you have a kindle or tablet and you want to read make sure it has a paper white setting. Meaning it’s not glowing.

Try to avoid activities that will suck you in so for me no reading and no starting a new project. I have a blanket that I’ve been working on for over a year now because I usually only get about a row done before I put it down to go to bed.

Bedtime calculator?

I’ve never personally used one but it’s a thing that can Calculate REM cycles and tells you “if you need to wake up at X time then you should aim to go asleep at A,B,C, or D times”

There’s a very old post on tumblr about it that I can’t find and I also can’t find the website so idk but people in the notes of that post were very pro calculator if someone has a link to that feel free to add it.

That’s everything I’ve got, feel free to add anything you think of.

Things you NEED to pack if you're going for a multiple day vacation/field trip

As promised here's the post, hope y'all like this one!

A blow drier. Even if your hair is short and don't think you need it for the obvious reason, think about getting your shirt wet in the hotel room and needing to dry it immediately

Extra pairs of socks or underwear, emphasis on underwear. It's better to have more than have less.

Despite the weather, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, umbrella and a coat are a must. You never know what might suddenly change.

A pen/pencil and something to write on. You never know!!!

A pair of scissors and or tape! You don't realize how useful these can be

Power strip or these smaller ones. Especially if you're going with friends!

Speaker. Trust me.

I hope these helped you out, and if you're going on a field trip, remind you the extra things you might need. I hope you have a wonderful day/night!!

i want to make a clangen blog similar to yours (documenting a clan), any tips?

Ooh, this is a really good question. I think my main tip is

TAKE

NOTES!

I have a MASSIVE Google Doc where I keep track of the things that stand out to me month by month. Here's an example of what that looks like from the doc for the Clan that I made as a test run for RisingClan:

You can see I use Headers to make it easy to travel between months and I have each point as a check box so i can mark it off once I post it on the blog. I also leave a note every time a cat changes rank of what their new Traits/Skills are since those get lost when they move to the next rank.

I also keep track of the cat's description in the Alliances tab so i can easily replicate it and once a cat becomes an adult I take a photo of their profile so i have accurate color refs since my doc is already like 4 years into the future and when a cat dies it changes their sprite colors. This has been a bit of an issue when a kit or apprentice dies but I luckily haven't had to deal with that too much.

And then I would say, my other Big Tip is to let yourself get creative with it. The ClanGen events are just a suggestion and, knowing what i do about my Clan, I've already started taking liberties a little bit to make the events feel more cohesive and satisfying. If you don't want to document sprains because they're rarely important, then don't. If you get a cat who has a specific backstory and you want to change it to something totally different, do that! The world is your oyster, do whatever you want and have fun with it. If it isn't fun, do something else.

This was so long but I hope it answered your question well enough ^w^ Good luck with your blog!

Tips for people just starting out with wine

-Try white wine first as most people will have an easier time with it, in my experience.

-Always check the alcohol level on wines with weird flavors. Cotton Candy wine might sound sweet and tasty, but a lot of times, they'll have a higher alcohol level and thus taste more like alcohol.

-Half a bottle of wine (a standard bottle of 750ml) will be enough to make new drinkers feel tipsy. (I tend to drink about 50-75% if I'm drinking now.)

-A lower alcohol content will make the wine taste better for newer drinkers. The bottles I buy are usually about 8%

-Moscato is a sweeter wine (and my personal preference) and will be easier on most beginners to start with.

-Price doesn't always make the difference. My favorite bottle of wine costs about $3.45

-Wine will feel warm when you're swallowing it, but shouldn't burn in the same way whiskey does.

-If you dislike the taste of wine, look into mixing it. Sangria is really popular and you can buy Sangria mix from places such as Olive Garden.

Basic habits you need to do˚｡⋆୨୧˚

☆ Wear sunscreen everyday

The beauty secret of reduce aging is by applying sunscreen on your skin EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You need to reapply sunscreen every 2hrs. The sun and the UV rays will always be there in the sky during the day to damage and give you wrinkles quicker. This can lead to skin cancer too. So make sure you wear a sunscreen with SPF higher than 40 for protection. I like to wear sunglasses since the under eye is the thinnest skin on your body. But don’t fear the sun! You need vitamin D to feel happy, energized and if you avoid the sun you can actually age much faster(I know it’s confusing). 15 minutes of daylight without protection is healthy! Or you can just take vitamin D pills from a pharmacy at walmart, target, walgreens, cvs, etc. ;)

friendly reminder that aging isn’t a terrible thing. everyone will have wrinkles overtime and become old but sunscreen is a necessity to be skin cancer-free and to age better.

Here are recommendations of some of my favorite sunscreen brands to maintain health and youth!

- supergoop

- beauty of joseon

- espoir

- neutrogena

- isntree

☆ Exfoliate 3 times a week

Consider buying a shea exfoliater! Use them in the shower on your body to get rid of dead cells and it makes your skin feel smooth with a natural glowy touch to it. It helps with circulation and evens skin tone. They also smell great! I recommend dove, treehut and soap&glory.

☆ Drink your greens instead

Obviously everybody knows eating vegetables is healthy and should be eaten everyday to maintain well, but the majority of people don’t eat spinach or cucumbers EVERYDAY. I mean I don’t eat wanna eat a hamburger with a side of celery sticks. I personally think making juices and smoothies is easier to consume them. I keep pre made smoothies from nights before in my fridge/freezer to grab n go when I’m running late.

☆ Do the ice cube technique

This method is to prevent face blotting, supposed to calm anxiety and claims to better your mood. You take an ice cube and wrap half of it with a napkin or cloth so your fingers don’t freeze. You apply the ice cube under your ears, side of the neck and the back of the neck. You do this until the ice cube melts. I apply ice cubes on my neck every morning :).

☆ Moisture your lips

Keep your lips smooth and kissable. Vaseline, aquaphor or laniege lip mask is amazing for cracked lips!
