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.

[dizzy-redhead]

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 couldn’t find any guides online that were quite what I wanted, so I made one. I created them to be viewable on my phone, so these should work on any phone bigger than 5″! Together we can end window switching. Hope this helps someone else

Anyway...

Friendly reminder that when y’all say or support stuff like this:

You are actively supporting biphobia, whether that was your intention or not. It’s also hugely inaccurate as most WLW representation on all forms of televised media, Broadcast ( so channels like The CW, ABC, FOX), Cable (HBO, STARZ) AND Streaming (Netflix, Hulu, CBS All Access), comes in the form of Lesbian representation.

And just so we’re clear, I’m not saying this without evidence:

93 out of 329 means that Lesbian representation makes up a total of 28.27% of all televised LGBTQA representation while, 75 out of 329 means that Bisexual women make up a total of 22.8% of all televised LGBTQA representation.  Even if you just break this down to WLW representation, there are 168 WLW characters on TV right now. Of those 93 out of 168 would equal 55.36% (over half), with 75 out of 168 equaling 44.64%.

Here is GLAAD’s report if you’d like to read it yourself, but I’ll also attach picture proof taken from the report.  Please remember when looking at the below graphs, bisexual representation includes both male and female bisexual characters and therefore the percentage of bisexual women is actually smaller than the composite total of the bisexual category:

Here are further breakdowns of the above pie graphs which show the actual percentage of bisexual women and bisexual men in separate categories, in 2/3 TV services (Cable and Broadcast) Lesbian representation is on the rise while Bisexual representation has decreased:

Statements like Layne’s  (especially posted right after Rosa Diaz on B99 is revealed to be a bisexual character-portrayed by a bisexual woman which makes it even more important!) serve only to divide the WLW community even further. Our job as WLW is to uplift other WLW, not talk down on or complain about their representation specifically because it’s not our own, and the mindset that “Representation has to be a competition” is exactly why so many characters canon sexualities are ignored.

But anyway….keep this in mind please the next time you complain about Bisexual representation in the media!

This is actually what you should say to an ICE agent who has come to your house looking for an undocumented immigrant.

Specifically, do not open the door; tell them to slide their warrant under the door. Read it carefully and check to see if it’s a JUDICIAL warrant, which will have specific information like the time and location where they’re allowed to search, and a specific description of who or what they’re allowed to search for. ICE practically *never* have this; they’ll have an ADMINISTRATIVE warrant, which is just their orders from their boss telling them to arrest a particular person. It does not give them the right to enter your house.

ICE *can* enter your house if they have probable cause, such as if they see the person they’re looking for through a window or door (which is why you don’t open the door). Other forms of probable cause include kids telling agents that they were born outside of the US. Agents will trick people into chatting with them, especially kids who serve as translators for their parents, asking things like “What part of Mexico are you from?” Staying silent keeps the onus on them to prove in court later that they had evidence someone isn’t here legally.

It’s important to remember that for now, at least, every person ICE wants to deport has to go before a judge, and ICE has to provide evidence that they know this person is undocumented and that they were arrested without violating the 4th amendment (against unreasonable search and seizure). We know that cops lie and that judges usually side with them, but agents would rather go for a sure bet from a targeted raid than risk wasting their time and energy on arrests that could be thrown out. Knowing your rights and being prepared makes you a more difficult target.

“I do not consent to entry without a warrant.”

This is real and happening as we speak.

A few thousands people (mostly of African descent) protested in front of the Lybian embassy in Paris this week so that they would acknowledge what their country is doing and take action.

Don’t go praising Korra and Asami’s progressiveness by mentioning only Korra as a poc and failing to acknowledge that Asami’s a poc as well

In case it’s not sinking in: no one in the Avatarverse is white, full stop.  Anyone who’s pale-skinned is coded as eastern Asian. 

And yes, this still applies even if they have auburn hair or whatever.  Pigment mutations laugh at your ethnocentrism.

For lack of better candidates, someone’s parents jokingly named the Norse God Loki as the child’s godfather. He decides to take this seriously.

[necrowriter]

The whole thing got started because my dad was a professor of Norse Mythology.

When I was born he and mom had both just gotten jobs at a new university, which meant moving to a new town where my parents didn’t know anybody. That was my dad’s excuse for naming an ancient Scandinavian trickster god as my godfather.

He claimed it made sense at the time; apparently I was something of a trickstery child myself, always getting out of my playpen and into strange places, or making rude noises at hilariously inopportune times, or crying for no discernible reason and laughing for no better one. Plus, it was pretty soon apparent that I had inherited my grandmother’s bright red hair. So my dad liked to call me a child of Loki, which amused my mom. It didn’t amuse her so much when he told her dad, after he got a bit too pushy about me not having a godparent yet, that in fact I did have someone looking after me and his name was Loki Laufeyson.

Still, even my mom didn’t expect anything more to come of that than a bit of a row when my grandfather got home and looked a few things up, so they were both completely stunned when Loki himself showed up on the doorstep a few hours later.

I was much too young to remember that particular meeting, but from what I found out later, I can imagine something of how it went. Loki would have looked like a tall, lean man with hair like fire. Not red hair like mine, which isn’t even really red but orange-ish; this was hair in licks of red and orange and yellow, really like fire. He would have had eyes like fire opals, strange and glittering from one color to the next. And he would have had scars running along the tops of and bottoms of his lips, little rows of puncture marks, white and old but still clearly visible. But the rest of him would have looked handsome and charming, like a movie star, only better. He would have looked like what movie stars dreamed of looking like, and he would have flashed my mom a brilliant gleaming grin when she opened the door.

“Hello,” he said. “I’ve come to see the child.”
