i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

[catmask]

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

[daftpatience]

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

here since none of you know what a bear is

[tumblunni]

Srsly thats just a regular hunk. Bear is an important term cos there really wasn’t any word for “handsome heavyset man” before the LGBT community came along and opened our eyes to the truth. Calling skinny buff dudes bears is like all those douchebros who are like “i want a thicc gorl” *points to stick thin woman who just has big booby*

[villainous-queer-deactivated202]

THANK you. And originally it DID just mean fat hairy men exclusively, it was only later that ‘musclebears’ became a thing. But Bear was a reaction to the gay male culture’s obsession with what we now call a twink (which is, to whit: a thin, hairless, youthful man between 18-25), as well as a reaction to the idea that gay men had to be femme in order to be gay, as well as offering body positivity to gay men who were fat, which is an important distinction–Bear Pride is a gay male fat positivity movement/identity, that’s real important and we gotta not forget that, because that support and representation and pride is a protest against the part of gay culture that toxically commodifies male bodies and demands thinness and hairlessness.  /soapbox

anyway i am here for my bear brothers.

now that we know the difference, bears please feel free to send me marriage proposals

what up your local trans bear sharing some background history

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

Additionally we do have a word for a thin hairy gay guy. It’s otter. You don’t need to steal words from fat people other words already exist

time of year i remind every cane user to get an ice pick so you dont fall and die

[leolaroot]

almost biffed it in a fucking parking lot so time for me to repeat this. if you are a cane user in the northern hemisphere its time to get an ice spike coming in the mail BEFORE the ice forms.

[leolaroot]

@phantomwinds and @strawbebbynya asked in the tags if anyone had advice for winterizing a rollator walker, i dont use a rollator very often but I'd suggest using zip ties around the wheels as improv tire chains. disclaimer that ive never done this before personally but its advice ive seen wheelchair users share.

[leolaroot]

i appreciate that this is still in circulation and i can see the pre-autumn wave of reblogs picking up lol. ice pick is not a gimmick its genuinely useful and can be a life saver. every year winter reaches further towards the equator and new people are finding themselves at risk of ice with no experience for how to keep safe

[skittlebits]

Or earlier! Any red state can turn blue if enough voters turn out.

update: situation has gotten worse

I'm mo, a two-spirit queer in desperate need of help. I'm working full time but my work is deducting pay as I owe hours and even then I'm in overdraft because of bills. I have no idea who I'm going to deal with all of this as I have student loan debt and other debt that just isn't being paid because I don't have it.

I've raised $30/$300 so far but I might need more which I hate to ask for but I have no choice.

goal - $325

please spread but don't tag as anything. I really appreciate everyone's help, it means a lot to have support. Thank you

[ribbonshirt]

please reblog if you vote to help spread

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

[taehyungsgrowl]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

Reposting as Primaries and General Voting are coming up.

[mutopians]

before we get an official announcement on who is replacing biden as the nominee, im just going to put this out there: do not mess this up. i don't care how little you like politics. i don't care if this new nominee isn't your first choice.

our alternative is trump. third party splits the votes, and abstaining is just going to fuck the entire united states over. your vote (AND support) matters, and i better see anyone who doesn't want trump to be elected and the United States to become a fascist, authoritarian regime throwing their full support behind this new nominee.

we have three months to go. we're in crunch time. if you don't want to lose your rights, support this new nominee with everything you've got.

edit: just in case this somehow wasn't obvious, this is NOT the post to be a pessimist on. don't say we're fucked. say TRUMP is fucked. we can't go back and change the nomination timeline, but we can absolutely support our new nominee and ensure they get elected.

[raan-miir-tah]

You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls

[centropristis]

Also for those of you saying “why doesn’t he do it now”, he doesn’t have a Blue Congress. If he gets a blue Congress, he can pass these, but if either the house or senate stays red, no progress can get made. Vote.

[urmomsonfire]

blanket reminder to vote at all levels if you can! the presidency is the most publicized, but voting for state reps, governors, mayors, and other local officials is so important.

[inthemidstofbuddie]

i really hope y’all realize how important it now will be to get out there and fucking vote to ensure trump does not get re-elected. that shooter just basically handed him the election. the only thing that will stop him now is if enough people stop pussyfooting about voting. do not let this be what puts him back in the white house bc if he gets back in there? you know what’s coming.
