Introduction
My name is Liba and I am from India. I am joining the studyblr community to get some motivation. Stationary and productivity are my things. Currently I am preparing for my 11th year entrance exam that is just 4 days away. I hope I clear the entrance exam so that I get into the majors (bio, chem and physics), I want for the next 2 years.
I’ve been into the study community (studyblr, studytube, studygram) since past one year and thus, finally thought to start my own studyblr. I hope I do well !

The thing about academia is that you can have a 12 hour day and it still doesn’t feel good enough

The culture of overworking in academia is so overwhelming and destructive. I hope you take an opportunity to rest and recharge. I know it doesn’t feel like enough–and that it never, ever feels like enough–but it is. You deserve to rest.

That thing about how cats think humans are big kittens is a myth, y’know.

It’s basically born of false assumptions; folks were trying to explain how a naturally solitary animal could form such complex social bonds with humans, and the explanation they settled on is “it’s a displaced parent/child bond”.

The trouble is, cats aren’t naturally solitary. We just assumed they were based on observations of European wildcats - but housecats aren’t descended from European wildcats. They’re descended from African wildcats, which are known to hunt in bonded pairs and family groupings, and that social tendency is even stronger in their domesticated relatives. The natural social unit of the housecat is a colony: a loose affiliation of cats centred around a shared territory held by alliance of dominant females, who raise all of the colony’s kittens communally.

It’s often remarked that dogs understand that humans are different, while cats just think humans are big, clumsy cats, and that’s totally true - but they regard us as adult colonymates, not as kittens, and all of their social behaviour toward us makes a lot more sense through that lens.

They like to cuddle because communal grooming is how cats bond with colonymates - it establishes a shared scent-identity for the colony and helps clean spots that they can’t easily reach on their own.

They bring us dead animals because cats transport surplus kills back to the colony’s shared territory for consumption by pregnant, nursing, or sick colonymates who can’t easily hunt on their own. Indeed, that’s why they kill so much more than they individually need - it’s not for fun, but to generate enough surplus kills to sustain the colony’s non-hunting members.

They’re okay with us messing with their kittens because communal parenting is the norm in a colony setting, and us being colonymates in their minds automatically makes us co-parents.

It’s even why many cats are so much more tolerant toward very small children, as long as those children are related to one of their regular humans: they can tell the difference between human adults and human “kittens”, and your kittens are their kittens.

Basically, you’re going to have a much easier time getting a handle on why your cat does why your cat does if you remember that the natural mode of social organisation for cats is not as isolated solitary hunters, but as a big communal catpile - and for that purpose, you count as a cat.

Happy Thursday! Just had an awesome workout at the gym and came home to make the best chocolate overnight oats I’ve ever made 😋🍫 topped with banana, chocolate peanut butter @purely_elizabeth granola, melted chocolate coconut peanut butter (1 spoonful @earthbalance coconut peanut butter + @enjoylifefoods mini chips microwaved until melted), and a few more mini chips on top. This definitely satisfied my chocolate craving 😬
.
Overnight oats - in a mason jar add ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup @bolthousefarms chocolate protein non dairy milk, and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Stir until well combined then leave in the fridge overnight!

21 March 2018 | 9/50 Days of Productivity

The day started with a green smoothie juice thing and ended with a lot of notes on Plato’s Theory of Forms (i.e. a philosophy-induced headache, but that’s always a good kind of headache).

3/11/18

Today, the clock went forwards one hour and I woke up planning to take some good-ass pictures but then realized that the “perfect lighting zone” passed already… This is going to be a bit of a problem for me since that means I might have to wake up an earlier than normal to take pictures with good lighting… (and fyi, I like my beauty sleep 😴😭).

But I’ll try my best regardless. Maybe just fine a different time to take pictures during the day? I’ll figure it out soon enough. :>
✨Anyways, here’s a close up of this week’s spread! Tried something a bit different with my washi tapes and it doesn’t seem to bad, no the greatest though. 🤷🏻‍♀️✨
