here’s some info you might like to share

gofundme takes up to 7.9% of everything people donate you + $0.30 per donation

that means that if 10 people help you raise $1000, you’re losing $82 bucks

gofundme doesn’t allow fundraisers for abortions but let darren wilson open a fundraiser after he murdered mike brown

instead, try using http://www.youcaring.com/ which is not only free but also pro-choice and not fucking racist to my knowledge

they can stay free because they ask everyone who donates to a cause whether they’d like to donate $1 to the website to keep it running

good luck w/ ur fundraisers!!

i will reblog this every time i see it, this is why I don’t use or support gofundme.

Bees are first insects shown to understand the concept of zero

Zero is not an easy idea to grasp, even for young humans – but experiments suggest bees might be up to the challenge

Bees seem to understand the idea of zero – the first invertebrate shown to do so. When the insects were encouraged to fly towards a platform carrying fewer shapes than another one, they apparently recognised “no shapes” as a smaller value than “some shapes”.

Zero is not an easy concept to comprehend, even for us. Young children learn the number zero later than other numbers, and often have trouble identifying whether it is less than or more than 1.

man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

How to interact with a service dog

Don’t. 

That’s it. 

This has been a PSA

[shoesgazing-blog]

i dont get what this post means

[pasarro-deactivated20170515]

service dogs are doing a job and usually people want to pet them but then theyll interrupt the job the service dog is trained to do. so the rule of thumb is dont interact with a service dog unless the owner says you can

[lucaferrrr]

YEET idc I’m petting the dog anyways

[twobarklessdogs]

Okay, well.

You shouldn’t pet strangers’ dogs without asking either.

In Boston while waiting for the T, there was a woman with her service dog in full gear also waiting. Two young women went right up to the dog and the moment one of the women reached out to pet the dog, the older woman slapped her hand away and said “My dog is working, do NOT pet.” And I smiled because those young women were in the wrong.

If you came up to my dogs and didn’t ask to pet them, I would slap your hand away, and they’re not even service dogs.

[followthebluebell]

If you pet my service dog without permission, you are stopping him from doing his job.  

One of my dog’s jobs is detecting seizures.  He gives me a few minutes warning.  If he can’t warn me because he’s distracted, I could fall and hit my head. 

I could die of a head injury because I wouldn’t have time to find a place to sit and sit down.

But, hey, a stranger gets to pet my dog. 

I guess that’s worth it. /sarcasm

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

Seriously, this is why you DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH A SERVICE DOG

Here’s an article on what happened when someone pet a service dog and it DID distract the dog resulting in the owner suffering a seizure and injuries. 

For anyone who doesn’t feel like reading, here is the key points:

Hailey has multiple illnesses including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and epilepsy. Her service pup in-training, Flynn, has the important task of alerting her roughly 10 minutes before she has a seizure. This gives her time to find a safe place so that she does not injure herself while seizing.

Although the other human meant no harm, her action nearly resulted in tragedy. Because Flynn was distracted, he failed to give Hailey proper notice of her seizure. By the time he was able to alert her, it was already too late.  “My service dog is my lifeline. I don’t say that to be cute. He helps keep me alive just like life support. If he gets distracted this happens. If he gets distracted I can die. Do not pet service dogs. Do not call to service dogs. Do not taunt service dogs. Do not talk to service dogs. Do not do anything to service dogs.” 

[the-awkward-turt]

1) Would you grab a person’s wheelchair and start rolling it forward and back for your own amusement? Would you randomly touch someone’s hearing aid while it’s in their ear? No? Then don’t pet someone’s service dog!

2) Don’t pet anyone’s dog unless you have the owner’s permission. If the dog gets nervous around strangers and you invade its personal space it might bite you out of fear, which could lead to the dog being put down. Not to mention it’s just disrespectful. Asking takes about five seconds. Just do it.

[jukeboxemcsa]

Signal boosting! A service dog is a working dog, and they need your respect more than your affection. If you want to deliver a compliment, let their human know what a great job they’re doing. It will be appreciated.

How do you make such great skin texture in photoshop? I've tried a couple times and it just turns out looking... wrong. Any tips on painting human skin textures?

I do it like this:

First I start with some base colors.

Then I add scribbles.

Then I add more scribbles, and maybe change the layer to overlay or something so it’s more translucent.

Then I blur everything. Or smudge it. Depending on what will look best.

And then I repeat, using a smaller and softer brush as I go. Until I get something that looks like this:

You can also add noise and blur it that way:

But I don’t like noise layers that much because the undertones are always changing, and it’s harder to color. I’d rather just paint the undertone.

That’s really it, though. It’s a controlled scribble.

I use the same technique for stubble, leather, and metal, too. Like a suit of armor? I do it the same way:

You can see my scribbles on Richard’s armor and his leather sleeve.

Hope that helps. <3

Holy carrots that’s amazing!

@sgurrdearg​ asked: I was wondering if you had tips for painting skin? I’ve looked up a lot online + in books and haven’t found what I need. I’m trying to paint a portrait of a char. from a book, but obv that’s difficult w/o refs so I ended up modelling a char. in a game to help with the proportions. Thing is, if I just paint as I would from a photo of a person, he looks plastic. Have u ever drawn a person w/o refs? How can I make him look real LOL. I know u only use 1 brush, do u have a technique for skin u use?

This is how I paint skin texture.

But how I do the actual skintones is trickier. I usually stick to this rule of thumb:

Highlights = low saturation light yellow Midtones = low saturation middle orange/brown Shadows = middle saturation dark red/brown

So something like this:

I’ve found the ratio works pretty well for any skintone, light or dark, as long as you aren’t an alien or a mermaid. And obviously it’s very generalized. Most of the time I’m working straight from observation anyway, so the skin is whatever color it is and rules go out the window. Different lighting will affect skintone in all different ways.

But what you DON’T want to do is pick a fleshtone and then add black and white to it. Highlights and shadows will be completely different colors.

This process shot of mine shows some skintone building.

This process from another artist is also pretty close to how I do it.

Hope that helps!

Seriously?! Hannibal was all business above the waist. All party below.

His little pupper got all dressed up and brought him people meat! Trip to the dry cleaners probably resulted.

God, that smoldering look and a little smirk Will gave him ! No wonder Hanni was so, so happy. Who can possibly resist that ?!
