    Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.

    image

    It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.

    It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.

    Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.

    And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.

    Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.

    Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:

    Thanks for reading.

    DUDE

    You just solved a very real problem for me! Thanks!

    For those who might not know where to find this: It’s in the Page Layout tab.

    I had no idea this was possible before today!

    Open Office Writer has a similar function under Format - Page - Background.

    WHAT

    Is this why I can write on yellow paper longer too?

    I’m guessing it’s like using a coloured overlay?

    You can also do this in Google Docs by going to File > Page Setup… > Page Color! 

    I already do this because green is known to inspire creativity so it’s good for my writing, but it’s good to know it’s kinda anti-anxiety too.

    “The process of civilization and domestication starts with colonization, dispossession, the annihilation of culture and the eradication of autonomy by removing us from the land and creating dependence through waging war against subsistence. This undeclared war has been going on for centuries and the idea of “insurgent subsistence” is not only resisting this process but reversing it. When the totality of the land base is private property or state-owned, when berries are sprayed with chemicals by logging companies, when hunting or fishing is policed by armed goons of the government, when every tree is owned by “the Crown”, regaining a certain level of freedom and subsistence definitely goes against this state of affairs, an insurgent spirit is inevitable.”

    image

    that is my dad with a pigeon on his head.

    SO OF COURSE MY REACTION WAS JUST “WHAT?! HOW??? HOW” and APPARENTLY when my dad was outside gardening, he saw it land on the roof of our house. and then it just. flew down. and landed on his head

    BUT NOW IT WON’T LEAVE

    image

    like the other morning i stepped outside to call my dad in for lunch and the pigeon was just sitting on the front porch watching him work
