hi guys! I usually don’t post these types of things or like to talk about my personal life, but I recently came out to my father as bisexual and it did not go as planned. he does not support my decision and is going to stop helping me with my tuition. FAFSA doesn’t give me enough to cover my meal plans. I am a sophomore in college and I am struggling to make ends meet so even if you could donate a dollar, it would be so helpful! if you can’t, I totally understand but please reblog this post to spread the word!

Wishing a speedy recovery to Anthony Borges, 15.
Used his body to hold a door closed to protect his classmates.
Shot 5 times
Hero.

There’s a GoFundMe for him. I donated $5 and the total is about $30k as of now (2/18/2018) but hopefully more can be raised to help bills.

Kid who protected other kids from a school shooter with his life has to ask for donations to cover the cost of recovering from being shot. Capitalism at work!

Please donate if you can. This system is evil, but we have to do our best to not lose our humanity in it.

Theres two national walk-out days schedualed in protests on gun violence!!!!! Here are the dates:

March 14th & Apirl 20th (the same day that the columbine shooting took place, not because its 4.20)

The one on April 20th, people won’t come back to school until congress changes the gun control laws!!!!!

On March 14th the walkout starts at 10 am, where everyone will walkout of the class rooms and into the streets for 17 minutes at the very least !!!!!! The organization suggests wearing orange to show solidarity.

As far as I can tell, there is no scheduled walkout time planned for April 20th so far, but I will keep you informed !!!

The 17 minutes of a walkout is to honor the 17 people who died in the Parkland Shooting

Some advice for dressmakers:

1. Pockets are a thing.
2. Breasts are a thing.

Leave room in your design for both.

#I’m looking at you summer dresses #made for people with flat chests#and no material possessions they need to carry with them (via @ticktockclockwork)

Yep, this is a real problem. From a design stand point it saves fabric and time since you don’t have to add any darts or pockets, and they go with the premise that a flat square shape should fit everyone without having to make much changes to the pattern (except to make it bigger or smaller). This whole one-size-fits-all mentality in fashion is so flawed, and actually impractical, it really annoys me how teachers let it slide in college and how the apparel industry continues to spew it year after year.

As someone who has breasts (DDD-H depending on what manufacturer I’m talking to) and loves pockets, let me wholeheartedly recommend eshakti.com. I started buying dresses from them in November and I love them. They will customize necklines, hemlines, etc., for a $9.95 flat fee, they will customize to your measurements if you don’t fit a standard size, and I’ve really enjoyed all my dresses from them. Most of their dresses come in sizes from XS to 6XL Feel free to message or send me an ask if you have specific questions!

i cant believe americans on tv really say rock paper scissors like???? its paper scissors rock omg do u irl americans actually say rock paper scissors????

rb this with whether u say paper scissors rock or rock paper scissors

me normally: linguistic differences are so interesting and cool! I love hearing different dialectal variations.

me, reading “paper, scissors, rock” with my own two eyeballs: the lord is testing me

Rock, paper, scissors was more common here (Canada) but I’ve heard Paper, scissors, rock before.

Guys, this is really important. Until now, Google collected your data, but did not attach your name to it. Now, they can, and will. This new thing they’re doing will allow them to collect your data across searches, your email, Youtube, Maps, Google+, and all their affiliates, and build a complete profile of YOU.

If that doesn’t bother you, maybe this will: they own and can sell all that data, including anything you create and send (artists and writers, take note).

There is a way you can opt out of this ridiculousness. It’s described in the link, but if you’re still not sure about it, please ask me and I’ll guide you through how to turn all this off.

This is my wake-up call. I’ll be locking down my devices and scaling back what I put through the big Google machine, which means you may see less of me across social media. I’m going to keep researching this, but it may mean in order to keep the rights to my creative work, I’ll have to keep it out of Google’s hands. And that may take some doing.

Duckduckgo is a nontracking search engine….may be worth a try.

So according to the article there is an opt out for this. Instructions are I the last paragraph. I’m on mobile so I’ll edit this more later. EDITED TO INCLUDE OPT OUT INSTRUCTIONS

To opt-out of Google’s identified tracking, visit the Activity controls on Google’s My Account page, and uncheck the box next to “Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services.“ You can also delete past activity from your account.

So I found this app called Scan Halal where you scan the bar code of your food and it tells you if its halal or not. It’s a free app too. Pass this on so others can see and worry a little less about their food/snack choices

Yessss, it is very handy especially in non-muslim countries

If you reblog this for no other reason, do it because it’ll piss off Pauline Hanson. And pissing off Pauline Hanson is reason enough to do anything.

Pissing off Pauline Hanson is my favourite pass time

If you reblog this for no other reason, reblog it to make a Muslim feel safer, more accepted, and/or more informed about food.

Other people and their needs are not your game pieces to use to offend others or make yourself feel better.

Dietary restrictions are important, no matter what! I’m glad to see there’s an app for those adhering to halal.
