This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. If I were a professor I would pin this to my office door.

LMAO

HOLY F U C K BRO

okay but who’s marking Ana as ‘slightly aged’ and ‘slim and curvy’?

hey if you’re a man i’m gonna need you to never approach a woman who’s alone at night time. don’t care what your intention is– unless it’s an emergency, don’t. you probably have no idea what the jolt of cold terror and/or the gnawing dread feels like in these situations. thanks

“hey if you’re black i’m gonna need you to never approach a person of another race who’s alone at night time. don’t care what your intention is– unless it’s an emergency, don’t. you probably have no idea what the jolt of cold terror and/or the gnawing dread feels like in these situations. thanks”

Same logic

Wtf this is so fucked up. It has literally nothing to do with race. Actually, white frat boys are scarier honestly. Statistically, white men are way more dangerous to women. So kindly STFU

Hey buddy. Statistically black people lead in violent crimes by race. As in an individual black person is statistically more dangerous than someone of any other race. So using OP’s logic, it is entirely acceptable to fear and assume the worst out of every black person you see.

Sound bigotted? Unfair? Does “not all black people are criminals” come to mind? “Stop generalizing people for how they were born”? “People are individuals”? If changing the target youre generalizing offends you so much, maybe your original stance wasnt as innocent and progressive as you wanted to believe.

Black man here,

OP and anyone who agrees with her is a bigot. You guys will defend me from bigotry for being black and then in the same breath, encourage that same bigotry when it’s because i am male.

People havent stopped being scared of me. People havent stopped walking on the opposite side of the street because of me. People havent stopped being suspicious of me and assuming i’m a criminal. People havent stopped assuming that i’m out to get them. They just do it for a different reason now.

Gunna get spicy here, but honestly if anyone I do not know approaches me on the streets, especially at night, I will 100% instantly be wary against you.

Women with bad intentions will use themselves as bait to lure you into a false sense of security.

Men are just bigger than me, and presumably, stronger than me.

A lot of people are stronger than me (5'4 person who doesn't really work out). I will be wary of anyone who is even marginally bigger than me.

I'm even alert against dogs & wild life (we have coyotes, cougars, and even bears here)

I don't know you? I don't like you, get away. I care about my safety more than I care about a strangers feelings.

I don't care if you think I am doing this because you are xyz...I just want to get home to my family in one piece.

An actual emergency is going on? Of course I am calling 911! I am not trained to be able to help in 99% of ermegencies. And I know my brain panics when things get crazy so I won't be of much help anyways.

When I was younger and more abled, I was so fucking on board with the fantasy genre’s subversion of traditional femininity. We weren’t just fainting maidens locked up in towers; we could do anything men could do, be as strong or as physical or as violent. I got into western martial arts and learned to fight with a rapier, fell in love with the longsword.

But since I’ve gotten too disabled to fight anymore, I… find myself coming back to that maiden in a tower. It’s that funny thing, where subverting femininity is powerful for the people who have always been forced into it… but for the people who have always been excluded, the powerful thing can be embracing it.

As I’m disabled, as I say to groups of friends, “I can’t walk that far,” as I’m in too much pain to keep partying, I find myself worrying: I’m boring, too quiet, too stationary, irrelevant. The message sent to the disabled is: You’re out of the narrative, you’re secondary, you’re a burden.

The remarkable thing about the maiden in her tower is not her immobility; it’s common for disabled people to be abandoned, set adrift, waiting at bus stops or watching out the windows, forgotten in institutions or stranded in our houses. The remarkable thing is that she’s like a beacon, turning her tower into a lighthouse; people want to come to her, she’s important, she inspires through her appearance and words and craftwork.  In medieval romances she gives gifts, write letters, sends messengers, and summons lovers; she plays chess, commissions ballads, composes music, commands knights. She is her household’s moral centre in a castle under siege. She is a castle unto herself, and the integrity of her body matters.

That can be so revolutionary to those of us stuck in our towers who fall prey to thinking: Nobody would want to visit; nobody would want to listen; nobody would want to stay.

#it’s so so important to remember that representation is not one-size-fits-all#what is empowering to one person might be exhausting and oppressive to someone else#some people need stories about having the strength to save themselves#some people need stories about being considered worthy of being saved#some people need inspiration for their independence while others need validation that they don’t have to be able to do everything themselves#before you lash out against something PLEASE stop to consider:#is this inadequate and/or damaging representation?#or is it just something I don’t personally relate to? [X]

It’s been half a decade and I still haven’t found an articulation of the complexity of “representation” as concisely and precisely mindblowing as @hungrylikethewolfie’s here.

Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.

WELL THEN!

this may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor*

When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair.  Potent stuff.

If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky

the flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best.  they will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair,  flax, jute, silk and so forth.  heat the dye water so it is more potent.  let dry then rinse excess out in cold water.  there’s  a whole system to this. 

Oh my god

This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.

DUDE

Ohhhh a color chart excellent!

USEFULLLLLL

Handspun wool yarn, dyed with Kool-Aid in 1994

What the fuck is kool-aid made of to dye so much stuff and not wash out holy shit?????

It’s an acid dye (it contains its own citric acid, because it’s a citrus drink!). It only binds properly to “animal proteins,” so leather/silk/wool/human hair, but not vegetable matter like cotton or linen, and not polymer products like polyester. It does need heat-setting if it’s going to be washed, so when OP washed it in hot water they fixed the dye more permanently.

The same effects are easily done with any food colouring agents (cake decorating food colouring, etc) used alongside cheap vinegar - KoolAid is just used because it’s pre-mixed and neon-toned, but this is part of the greater Food Coloring Dying Methods which themselves form part of the dying-from-edible-materials family, which included beetroot, walnuts, turmeric, tea, blueberry skins, wine and so on.

the 70s were just like that

kpop fans are so insane "if you have time to get your wife pregnant you can post a youtube video for us 😭" and the next reply is someone saying it can take a minimum of 12 seconds to nut

I'm not making this up
