Legitimate *pro bono legal services* don’t exist without a good reason. In a few of the exmormon groups I’m in you’ll see regular posts saying stuff like “Look what my lawyer sent me today!” with a pic of their resignation confirmation letter from the church.
You know. Just stuff that a normal average church that is definitely not actually a cult would do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hey since I just told a friend this and they found it helpful: if you’re having hallucinations and are having trouble distinguishing what’s real and what’s not, use your phone’s camera and take a picture of the thing you might be hallucinating. cameras don’t hallucinate.
((The lack of notes is concerning.))
Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, “quiet” kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing they’re into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an ‘oh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.’
Like, their parents will warn me ‘so-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engage’ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, they’ll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them. Frame it in their damn terms. Or! Just! Listen to them about their Thing! And they will engage with the rest of the material! Because they know you care about them! Amazing!!!

TEAM OF MY HEART!!! WINNERS TO ME, ALWAYS. You did great, kids!

Before you read, survey the chapters:
Title, headings, subheadings
Captions under pictures, charts, graphs, maps
Review questions and study guides
Read introductory and concluding paragraphs
Read summaries
Questions while you are surveying:
Turn titles, headings, and subheadings into questions
Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading
Ask yourself, “what did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?”
Ask yourself, “what do I already know about this subject/chapter?”
When you begin to read:
Look for answers to the questions you raised in the previous steps
Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides
Reread captions under pictures, graphs, charts, and maps
Note all the underlined, italicized, and bold printed words or phrases
Study graphic aids (maps, charts, graphs, pictures, etc.)
Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages
Stop and reread parts that are unclear or confusing
Read only a section at a time and recite after each section (how to recite below)
Recite after you’ve read a section:
Ask yourself questions out loud about what you have just read, or summarize (in your own words) what you read
Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words
Underline or highlight important points you’ve just read
Reciting: the more of your sense you use, the more likely you are to remember what you read
seeing = reading, saying = asking questions or summarizing aloud, hearing = you answering your questions aloud
Review:
Reviewing is an ongoing process
80% of information is lost within 24 hours, but if you continue to review you will remember more for class or for test day
