12 Dozen Places To Educate Yourself Online At No Cost

“All education is self-education.  Period.“

It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting in a college classroom or a coffee shop. We don’t learn anything we don’t want to learn.

Those people who take the time and initiative to pursue knowledge on their own are the only ones who earn a real education in this world.  Take a look at any widely acclaimed scholar, entrepreneur or historical figure you can think of.

Formal education or not, you’ll find that he or she is a product of continuous self-education.

If you’re interested in learning something new, this article is for you.  Broken down by subject and/or category, here are several top-notch self-education resources I have bookmarked online over the past few years.

Note that some of the sources overlap between various subjects of education.  Therefore, each has been placed under a specific subject based on the majority focus of the source’s content.

a real ass guide to life

there’s a lot of shit on here about lighting candles and waking up early to see the sunset and if we are being hella honest, no one actually does that. u probably don’t own candles or if u do there in a closet and the only time you wake up early all year round is never. so here’s a guide to actual human beings.

-wake up when you need to. don’t wake up at 5 to “journal” and “meditate.” sleep is more important. if you have a class at 9, wake up at 8. it’s simple. - eat something. it doesn’t have to be avocado toast. just have a bagel or a bowl of cocoa puffs. - have ur meds if u take any - attempt to look nice. at least brush your hair and your teeth. but honestly no one cares how u dress. if you wanna dress like a stripper, then dress like a goddamn stripper. honestly no one cares. (but if ur in hs try to follow the dress code a little bit?) - wear makeup if u want, or if you don’t then don’t. - ur probably not gonna exercise or stretch. who cares. i dont. your friends don’t. if ur feeling up to it then go jog 4 miles, but if ur not then don’t. - actually try to have a plan of what ur doing for that day. attend ur classes, and do ur work. ur education is hella important. FUCKING DO IT. kill those grades, murder everyone else in that class, impress and surprise ur teacher, parents, and everyone else who thought u couldn’t do it - attempt to be social. make plans with friends and try to go. it can be lowkey and only like an hr. eat pizza or go to a bar. just have fun. - eat healthy. eat a hamburger when u really want a hamburger and eat a large pizza when u really want a large pizza but try ur hardest to eat healthyish. - watch ya shows. who doesn’t love some amazing netflix binges? watch it. do it. - actually read. books are honestly the best. at least try to pick up the first harry potter. - go to sleep before 2AM!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ sleep is hella important. - shower. you don’t need to buy expensive bath bombs or candles and have a fancy bath and coat ur skin in so much lotion that you are a walking wet rag, but try to smell somewhat pleasant. - do what u want. just make sure it’s legal. have sex, travel, learn how to code, be with ur family, have a family, marry someone nice, build an empire, be fierce, be strong, but most of all: be happy. you live once on this planet. live it to the fullest. and don’t let ANYONE bring you down. not a girl, not a guy, not a parent, or a so called friend. keep your standards high, and heels higher.

baby: *incomprehensible babbling*

me: WHAT!? really??? no way :0

This is actually really good for babies’ brain development. You’re laying the groundwork for conversation, teaching them through example that people take turns talking and listening.

Did you know that babies from affluent families hear an average of thirty MILLION more words before age 5 than babies in families below the poverty line? For context, Les Miserables is about 650,000 words and it looks like this:

So it’s like reading this book 46 times.* And that’s not the total number of spoken words, that’s the GAP between affluent and poor babies. And these are the years in which the brain undergoes the most development. It’s mind-boggling.

So what I’m saying is: keep doing the thing. Do it to all babies, all the time. Narrate your day. Ask them for opinions. (“Should we buy the large bag of potatoes or the small bag?” “Gaabooglagje.” “Yes, just as I thought.”) Point out colors and shapes and letters. Let them scribble outside the lines and treat their babble like talk. Sing them nursery rhymes and Raffi songs and songs from the radio. All of these things are going to build their brains to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.

*Please do not read Les Mis 46 times to an infant. They don’t even care about the Parisian sewer system.

That last part though

Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didn’t respond so she said it louder and he still didn’t respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said “I can’t understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.”

HOLY SHIT

one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.

my classmates went dead silent and after the sub’s laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me

I had a sub in English once, on presentation day. And everyone goes up and does their thing, and then its my turn. The whole time im stuttering and mixing up my words, having to stop and re-say my sentences. The rest of the class is used to this and claps. However, by the time its over, the teacher is 100% done.

Starts saying horrible thing about how im going to have to get over my ‘fear of public speaking’ and how she’s heard 8 year olds give better presentations (plus worse things but I don’t really member them). By then im in tears and on the brink of a panic attack, and then she starts telling me off for crying The rest of the class is horrified. Then this boy stands up. He never been my friend and we never really got along, but he’d never bullied me. He told her in a pissed off, cold voice that in freshmen year I got a concussion and that I never really recovered from it, so all that was medical related and I couldn’t help it. Then he starts telling her off and the rest of the class joins him.   The teacher is mortified and tries to cover her ass, but the whole class walked out and that boy took me by the shoulders and we all walked to the principles office and told him what had happened. Lets just say she isn’t teaching anymore. Also, turns out that boy had a sister like me, who couldn’t really speak. We’ve been best friends for 8 years and i’ll be his best woman at his wedding next year.  The moral is that Teachers, even subs, and adults shouldn’t scold kids before knowing the whole story, because shit like that can fuck up kids self-esteem for the rest of their life.

Electron microscope video of a needle on a vinyl record.

H O W 

like you can tell me all you want how the sound is stored in the grooves but fucking H O W 

HOW DOES THAT GET INTO THE NEEDLE

HOW ARE THE VIBRATIONS TURNED INTO MUSIC THAT YOU CAN HEAR???

H O W

The vibrations aren’t “turned into” music, they are music. When vibrations occur inside your inner ear, your brain processes this as sound.

The grooves in a record are an analogy for these vibrations, a method of remembering them so that they can be recreated later on. 

Put your hand on a speaker while loud music is playing and you’ll feel the vibrations. Those are exactly the same vibrations happening inside your ear when you hear the music. 

But how do you capture that? 

Take a surface that vibrates strongly when a sound is played, like the skin of a drumhead for example. Connect that surface to a little tool - when sound causes the surface to vibrate, the tool digs a little bit into some wax, leaving behind a pattern that matches - in proportion - the vibrations of the surface caused by the sound. This is your analogy (hence: analog music). 

Now, when there’s no sound playing, you run that little tool back over the pattern. This causes the skin to vibrate again, this time in response to the tool running over the pattern instead of because of an external sound. The vibrations should match, proportionally, the original vibrations of the music.. and thus these new vibrations, if you were to amplify them, would be a recreation or “recording” of the original music. 

That’s oversimplified of course and things have changed a lot since the days of wax, but that is very basically how the process of recording music worked at first, and the general idea of how sound gets from a groove in a record into your brain.

Thank you Science side of tumblr

I hugely appreciate people taking to the time explain stuff like this, as it helps put an end to the “wow, science is magic!” trope that’s become far too common.

one of my biggest fears is dying after i suck a dick…. like once i watched Law & Order SVU & this dead girl had just sucked dick and had a bunch of semen in her stomach….. if they found me dead with semen in my stomach my mom would kill herself just so she could meet me in hell and beat my ass

ok but what about dying while someone is sucking your dick ? It REALLY happened to a fucking PRESIDENT OF FRANCE, Felix FAURE (1841 - 1899) 

this fucker here

had a fucking attack while his mistress (it wasn’t his fucking wife imagine the scandal) was giving him surely the best blowjob he ever experienced and he died when he reached orgasm

His Mistress Marguerite Stenheil was soon after given a nickname who was also a pun “pompe funèbre” which usually mean mortician I think, but can be understood here as “mortal vacuum” okay I’ll never get over this fact I’m always fucking pissing myself 

google the shit if you don’t believe me

how do I know this ? oh freaking simple I just happen to share the same fucking surname as this classy dude

yeah

Tips for vaginal health. Proper Pussy Maintenance

- Stop wearing panties made of foolishness. Cotton predominant only. or None, none works. - Stop sleeping in draws. - Stop putting soap in your vagina. Your vagina is self cleaning it just needs a rinse with water and a coochie only rag. Bath & body works and Summer’s eve are creating a Ph imbalance, which can cause odor and infection. - Only use unscented products in the area surrounding your vagina.

- Pee after sex or masturbation, regardless of if you reached orgasm or not. - If you feel the urge to pee GO, If you don’t GO. DRINK WATER - I almost forgot but it’s extremely important.

Clear or white discharge is normal. If the colors change, go see a doctor.

*I think I’m gonna add to this daily.

The soap part is extremely hard for people.

Women think that because the soap has a nice smell it will make them smell like that. Nah we have our own smell and the man made smell of Country Apple will taint that.

I know

✨The Gospel

The key to vaginal excellence

a small note about discharge because sometimes white discharge could be a sign of a yeast infection. just make sure you’re mindful of what’s normal for you and your vag

I do not care if this messes up my blog. This is important.

For that case (on white discharge), it depends on the amount. My doctor told me this. 

If it’s white or clear, you’re good. If it’s white, clumpy (cottage cheese like), has a bad smell & increased in usual amount, then it might be a problem. Make an appointment and get checked. 

Now ladies, yeast is already present in your vagina, so it’s kind of unrealistic to get rid of all yeast. Too much yeast is not good. The goal is to reduce the over growth of yeast & get your vagina back to a healthy balance. 

Treatments consists of, anti fungal agents in forms of tablets. I know. Some people can’t really swallow tablets or have a trouble swallowing tablets. I feel you baby, I have the same problem. You can also use vaginal creams. Over the counter treatments are available, however, if you are pregnant, please, make sure any medications are approved by your doctor. You should get medications approved regardless, but if you’re pregnant, MAKE SURE you check back with your doctor. 

Also, yeast infections are not commonly transmitted during sex and partners are not usually treated, unless they show signs. As in, itching or irritation in their genital area. Treatment for male partners consists of fungicidal cream on the penis. 

Sometimes you might be a little unbalanced & that’s okay, just make sure you get to your Doctor & get on making yourself healthy again. 

Some prevention and treatment guidelines for vaginal infections:

Get/stay healthy ladies. I love you.

Also, my doctor told me to stop shaving earlier this month when I went to go see her. Pubic hair grows there for a reason. It’s not meant for you to shave off. It’s their to protect you. Yes, you can trim it. But don’t shave it all, or constantly shave. Giving yourself a fresh shave here and there is fine. But keep in mind that hair grows their for a reason. This is for women & men. If someone complains about your hairs, punch them in the neck. (Not literally) But, understand that they’re childish & they don’t deserve the cookie or magic stick anyways. God bless & Happy Holidays.

raw cranberry juice (tastes like beet juice but can be diluted with water and unbleached sugar to help the taste) and probiotics like the ones that are in yogurt are also good for urinary and sexual health. 😊 

Keep it right ladies 🙌🏾

Ladies 💁🏽💁🏽

For the ladies that follow me. Take care of yourselves

Please ladies, I shouldn’t be smelling better nornbe cleaner than you and I’m a fucking dude.

YOU ARE A WOMAN AND SHOULD SMELL FANTASTIC AND BE YOUR CLEANEST AT ALL TIMES.

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER SMELL BAD EVEN WGEN YOU HAVE NO SCENTED DEODORANT OR LOTION ON. YOUR NATURAL SMELL ALONE SHOULD ENCHANT THE FUCK OUTTA ME.

THAT PUSSY SHOULD BE SO CLEAN THAT I’LL WANT TO LICK IT UNTIL MY TOGUE GOES NUMB. IT SHOULD NOT SMELL LIKE PEE EITHER BECAUSE IM PRETTY SURE YOU ARE NOT A TODDLER WALKING AROUND IN A DIAPER!

Me looking for who asked

This nigga probably got dreadlocks on his balls and cottage cheese under his foreskin STFU

Lmaooooo
