Find it hard to study or in need of something to help you focus? Got a Spotify playlist right here. spotify.link/oEv8WdYi9Cb

I’m told, as an ADHD person, that instrumental music (no lyrics) helps us focus on tasks like reading and writing as it helps fill the need to multitask. Please consider and save the list above! That’s my music made specifically for ADHD focus and chill vibes. A lot of people say it works!

And if you want more helpful resources, follow me! ✨

Stealing books is wrong. Stealing textbooks 🤷🏻‍♀️

You know, if academics actually got paid for writing, editing and peer reviewing any of this material, moral objections would make sense. In the meantime, however...👍

I did *NOT* implicitly tell every one of my classmates, cohort, or students about this at Davis and Berkeley and airdrop files to them via bluetooth. I did not give away thousands of dollars in textbooks and scan vaulted media I was also not accused of being unethical for doing so by trust fundees

I'd like to personally thank everyone involved for warning me to never do this

Saved you from a life of intellectual crime, they did

Would anyone believe me if I say that I took this literally on the first read? I was like ‘but these are such great resources though. Maybe they steal your info or give your device malware’ 🤦🏽‍♀️
Avatar
I wrote it and I confuse myself seeing it in notifications.
Avatar
Same here I was confused at first.
Avatar
I literally was like 'wait, are they known for malware?' at first, and then I got it 😂

though archive.org could really use a fiver if you got one.

I hate it when people share easily accessible sources to educational materials I can feel people getting more intelligent! STOP IT NOW
Avatar
My course instructors specifically told me not to use these to get out of print books, such good advice.
Avatar
I have absolutely never done this. Nope. Never.
Avatar
I would never bookmark sch content for further use. I would never
Avatar
Are there truly people out here using www.annas-archive.org ? I can't imagine. I truly can't.

Thank you for this important warning. It would obviously be wrong to download free textbooks and make knowledge more widely available.
Avatar
I have certainly never used any of these websites once, much less multiple times.

I would like to help you, but I can't...

Another good one if you need more than one email address for signing up for things. If you use Gmail, you can add + and a random word to your address to create a new address! E.g. change [email protected] to [email protected] 1/2
Avatar
Gmail ignores everything after the +, so it comes to your normal inbox. But the service / product you sign up for sees each one as a new address. So go to town! Using the service name plus a number helps with organizing things. [email protected] [email protected] 2/2

Wow! I won't be sharing this ridiculously unhelpful information with any of my followers. I only wish I had had this information to not share with my former students.
Avatar
I know we'd all never do this anyway but people should definitely shut off their campus VPN while not doing this too!
Avatar
I hate this is still have I have to do these things but, book bypass bookmark
Avatar
The warnings are very appreciated. Dangerous stuff.
Avatar
Warn everybody you care about if they need to know 🙏

I feel pretty Bad for Emma… Where was she working?!?!

Of course I wouldn't ever use these resources. After all...

*certainly does NOT install that third one* >w>

In final formatting review for my dissertation and absolutely FEELING the comment about finding these at the end of a PhD
Avatar
My solidworks instructor was very helpful about letting us know to stay away from these options lol

I won't. You don't have to keep repeating yourself.
