White people get so angry when they’re presented with the truth.
That moment when a single scene in a Bollywood film educates you about the reality of American politics.
does anyone know the name of this film?
The movie is called Kurbaan!

A rare survey attempted to brief respondents as much as possible before asking their opinion. The results come two days before the FCC is set to repeal net neutrality rules.
There isn't much that we agree on these days, but Americans are united in our support for net neutrality. Keep pushing back!
🚨 The FCC plans to kill net neutrality on December 14 🚨
It’s real simple: ISP lobbyists are pushing the FCC to kill net neutrality so phone and cable companies can block apps, slow down websites, and charge fees to control what you see and do online.
Our only chance is congressional pressure and legislative action. But we need grassroots support. Tell your representatives that you support “Title 2” rules and ask for their help protecting a free and open internet.
Go to Battle For The Net to be connected to your congresspeople.
Alrighty fuckers
I’m not sorry. I am not sorry I am spamming your dashboard about #NetNeutrality because it’s a big issue
TODAY IS 12/12 BREAK THE INTERNET DAY
And this week at 12/14 is the voting. The big decision for net neutrality.
I’m not sorry I’m the reason you don’t get a break from this depressing scary bullshit. Because it is as EXACTLY as depressing and scary as it sounds.
Net neutrality is a serious issue for anyone in the middle class and below. Not the upper-middle. Not flat-middle. All the middle. All the poor. We can’t afford this. America you know how heavy we get taxed. You know how hard it is paying off student debt. You know how hard it is to pay your child’s school tuition. You know how hard it is to even buy food. And now they say you need to pay for your social medias.
We are trillions in debt already America. We are the land of free are we not? So do tell me
What the hell is free about paying $4.99 for each website I use a month for all 12 months of the year
What the hell is free about not having any money left to buy myself a decent meal
What the hell is free about not being able to get help and advice
What the hell is free about not reaching the people who need us the most
WHAT THE HELL IS FREE ABOUT NO PRIVACY
WHAT THE HELL IS FREE HERE

Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage
This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night
I don’t know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. I’ll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & I’ll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.
hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. We’re all gonna have to come together and step up about this.
Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily
I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES
Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!
There is a reason that happens. Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality. They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate. Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls. IF you post about it ADD links for FS!

Useful if this is how you think, though often I don’t see the outline until after the draft is written, because after awhile one just internalize this kind of stuff from all the media one ingests. Point is, use if helpful, ignore if not.
Another suggestion for anyone interested: because one of my weaknesses as a writer is sustaining narrative momentum, I’ve recently started using this mystery novel breakdown as a template, even though mystery/detective isn’t the genre I write in. It’s really useful as a way to keep track of what the story needs at a given moment in terms of balance and character.

How practical is a hidden sword inside a walking stick/cane? How wide could a person go before the cane became suspiscious as to be concealing something? And would such a weapon be strong enough in serious skirmishes? Or should a user stick to simply using the cane, and perhaps having a hidden blade in the end?
Amusingly, I used to own a sword cane. I threw it out during the last move, otherwise I could post pictures.
The sword canes I’ve seen have been screw on arrangements. Externally, they look like a normal cane with a metal band just below the grip (which isn’t unusual for normal canes either).
They use very narrow blades to maintain the silhouette of a normal cane. This is a necessary component of the design, by the way. The entire point is to have a hidden blade, which falls apart when you’re carrying around something that looks more like a scabbard than a cane. You’re talking about a blade that’s going to be, at most, around 1/2″ across, and usually around 24″ to 25″ long.
The primary purpose of these things was as a self defense tool. It’s not a weapon intended for heavy combat, just to deal with one guy armed with a knife.
To some extent, overall practicality depends on the individual weapon, not sword canes as a whole. For example, the one I owned featured a very loose blade, which could be rattled by shaking the grip slightly. Rattling it may serve the intended purpose of scaring off a potential mugger, but I wouldn’t have wanted to take the thing into a fight.

Why, in the name of all that is holy, would you throw out a sword cane?
Because the cane shaft had cracked and was splintering wood chips everywhere. This was not a high quality piece.

Adrijan, your spirits seem to be a little darkened, do you think we will be seeing that side of you soon?
I should hope not…. Such darkness I hope to leave in my past, where it belongs. My duty is to protect my sister; Dijana is all I have. And I cannot do that if I allow these pains and thoughts to consume me.
A Note On 18th-Century Cakes
Cakes as we know them currently are a relatively new innovation. They began as something more resembling a sweetened loaf of bread, and frosting only began to be added toward the turn of the century. They were most commonly found at birthday parties of those wealthy enough to afford cakes, which were expensive due to the cost of materials like ovens and sugar up through the 17th century. Cakes would not become ubiquitous until the Industrial Revolution made such equipment and ingredients accessible to the lower classes.
They were sweetened with honey and fruits as often as they were with sugar, and compared to what we eat today, they were rather tough. They would often be decorated with flowers. There's little in the way of artwork (and obviously there are no photographs) of early cakes, but they don't seem to have been the towering things we see at weddings and such today. A couple of layers tall at the most, and not terribly big, though with the palates of the time it's unlikely that many people would need to eat much of something so sweet.
My sources are various baking websites and blogs easily found by doing a search for "history of cake." I'm a little too tired to link them all. No new research here; I'm basically just paraphrasing what I read for ease of use later.
