I keep making the mistake of reading youtube comments.

I seriously need to like, be shocked every time I try, so that I stop subconsciously scrolling down to them.

I still care about my grades but have no motivation to do any type of work????????????????????

I read something about art here on Tumblr that basically said "Fuck motivation, get work done even if you're not motivated", I guess it's still relevant for work.

Speaking of which, I have copies to correct, dammit >_< Here I come ...

I LIVE FOR THIS POST

i hear muslims all the time go "Islam is against terrorism!" but i never see any proof of it so

literally maybe u dont see it because your eyes are so far up your ass

murder is strictly forbidden in islam. “If anyone slays a person, it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.” [5:53] and “Even if you stretch forth your hand against me to kill, I will not stretch forth my hand to kill you. Surely, I fear Allah, the Lord of the entire universe.” [5:28]

forcing someone into the religion/ harming if they are non-muslim is forbidden in islam “There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” [2:256]

engaging in aggressive war (as in not defense of own national security or other legitimate safety reasons) is forbidden “But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline towards peace…” [8:61] also “Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God does not love aggressors.” [2:190]

terrorism, or hirabah, is specifically pointed out as LITERALLY one of the highest possible sins in Islam, like literally the punishment for hirabah (rape, murder, robbery, ANY harming of national or individual security) is so terrifying in order to scare the people into not even engaging in terrorism in the first place google it its [5:32]

"sneak attacks"/ambushes are forbidden. Muslim commanders must give the enemy fair warning that war is imminent. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at one point gave 4 months notice to an opposing army.

the Prophet (pbuh) narrates “Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” [Al-Tirmidhi] this speaks enough for itself

Allah swt said “O my servants, I have made oppression upon myself something impermissible and I have made it impermissible for you to oppress one another. [legitimate sourcing, recorded by Muslim, Aḥmad , al-Tirmidhī]

“And do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” [5:8]

bonus: if we’re getting into the technicalities of it, in islam not just anybody can declare war. war must be declared by the rightful leader of the nation, meaning since these terrorist groups are in no way leaders of their nations, regardless of everything above they are not allowed to call for and engage in war (aka mass murder of innocent peoples that they call war) anyways

I'm tired of this.

This is all extremely important, and interesting, and I'm tired of this kind of things not being taught here is France. I'm an atheist, and still, the more I document myself and reflect on the horrible killings that have happened here last week, and what some French people now say, the more I'm regretting we are not being taught on religions at school.

I'm not talking of teaching about following any religion, as stated I'm an atheist, I wouldn't want ANYONE to be forced or even influenced into any religion. But still, those religions exist, a lot of students have some faith, and even for those who don't, they are BOUND to know someone who do. It is NOT normal, for civil peace, that we can only consider religions of other cultures with prejudice, because we are not being taught about them. What good can be found in this ? Is this really what is best for a multicultural nation ?

It is dangerous both for native French and immigrants. For the immigrants, they suffer from the prejudice of others. One of the first thing I had to tell my [mostly Muslim] students was that even if they didn't like Charlie Hebdo, they had to stand against what happened anyway and show it, lest they would be blamed HARD if the people of France were not all united. Also, since they have been unrooted and are looking for answers, answers their parents cannot always give them, because it's either evidence for them, or the parents are not always there, they need to learn from somewhere. For the natives, obviously, how can they hope to live in peace with people they don't understand ? I know that religion doesn't make all about a culture, but it has a big influence, and it's a good start.

That's what I'm getting tired of. That for the sake of secularism, religion has become a real taboo in schools. In school, we have to learn about citizenship, and living together as a people. It starts with understanding each others.

Sorry for the rant.

I’ll only say this concerning the whole Charlie Hebdo mess:

As a French person, who has lived more than 15 years of her life in France, I know for a fact that french humor can be extremely provocative. Especially through cartoonists like the Hebdo magazine. It frankly didn’t struck me as racist in the way that it attacked pretty much everything going on in the world, homosexuals included. But I don’t believe the Hebdo to be homophobes either. In fact, they rather seem for same sex marriage, in their own super provocative way. (here’s an interesting article about their drawings and analysis)

This DOES NOT mean that I liked what they did! I’m personally not a big fan of such cartoons, nor how far-fetched they can go. But I just want to express my opinion on this matter. And my opinion would be: their goal was to take all the big people out there that the media talks about, and throw them all the shit they possibly can. French cartoonists LOVE to make fun of their own presidents! And French people in general love to complain about French people. And yet they are proud to be French? It’s complicated.

A post said that the Hebdo magazine DID attack the Muslims more than anything else (I am unsure whether that was confirmed?). If such is the case, (and even if it wasn’t), I completely understand your arguments against Charlie. I do. I’m just… doubtful whether or not they were really racists as people.

Anyway, that’s all I’m going to add on the matter. Please note that I’m not fueling any fire, just being sincere with my thoughts. And let’s not forget that the world has bigger problems than Charlie Hebdo. And even though it’s interesting to read the debates around the event, improving yourself as a person so as to improve the world around you is still the best thing you can do.

Listen, communicate, share. Don’t shoot.

Sick and tired of these people and this country -_-"

anyways so why y’all sleeping on this?

and how come i can only find small french news websites reporting on this and no mainstream media has covered it at all.

oh i know why. it totally negates the propaganda they want to keep spreading about ‘ALL’ muslims.

mod-rainpony

Funny because I heard about it on the radio France Inter, which is one of the most listened radio here, so I guess it can qualify as "mainstream".

They exactly said that they wanted to talk about the "true heroes of the day".

Wow everyone look at this- this is an amazing tablet, and I wish I had seen it before I just dropped $170 on a small intuos 5 This is called a Tursion Huion tablet- looks pretty simple right- kind of like a bamboo here’s the thing. This tablet has 2024 levels of pressure- that is the equivalent to the pressure an intuos 5 currently has (retail price: $229 for the smallest) You can get this lovely tablet for under $50 dollars on amazon Only thing this beautiful table it lacking is a few simple buttons, but still, I mean, its drawing area is even bigger on average then most Wacom’s small tablets- and from the reviews ive seen on it people are very impressed….so just spreading the word around that Wacom isn’t the only one that is making good tablets- the more the company is spread perhaps they will come out with even better products that not only match up to Wacom, but are with in our price range for once! You an buy one below at the link! http://www.amazon.com/Tursion-Graphic-Drawing-Capture-Tablet/dp/B008Y431CS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1371642706&sr=8-4&keywords=turcom

Reblogging for my drawing friends.

Reblogging to spread the word, it has good reviews and is a great alternative to WACOM.

gingerhaze

I’ve been using a Huion for the last few months and I LOVE it. Mine cost me $75 and it’s comparable to a $200-$300 Intuos). You don’t need to break the bank for the sake of digital art!! Wacom isn’t the only choice for a quality product anymore.

Gender euphoria is a concept that was made to be the opposite of gender dysphoria and describe the strong feeling of happiness that trans people experience when they’re being treated as their true gender. For some people, this feeling can be an indicator of being trans.

Please reblog to support the use of this term!

fucking hyprocrisy with being muslim woman but being a feminist when you are THE definition of oppression lol

I got an ask almost exactly like this one when I did the draw yourself challenge saying that Captain America can’t possibly be redrawn as a Muslim female because they’re the icon of oppression while he represents freedom, so I decided to use my drawyourself!Cap to answer your ask

eisuverse

How is it that people still think that Muslim women are the icon of opression? Dude, certain Arab and muslim countries oppress their women, yeah, but not all and NOT because their muslim. The opression comes from the government’s ruling and not because the religion deems it so. Women are placed in high regard in the muslim faith, you know? For instance, above all else, Mothers are the most revered person in a muslim person’s life. It goes God, Mothers, Mothers, Mothers, Mothers, Father. (If I remember correctly) Women are very important in our faith. It’s the people in control that are skewing that faith and opressing the women, not the religion itself. If I’m also not mistaken, in a muslim marriage, the wife is considered the treasurer of the union. The wife controls the ins and outs of money and the husband cannot do big purchases without permission from the wife. There was a thing that I remembered (and hopefully, remember correctly) where whatever money the husband makes is the wife’s, whatever money the wife makes is the wife’s, whatever money the couple makes together is the wife’s. Of course, I’m not saying this is the rule every married muslim couple follow, but if I’m not mistaken, that is the rule. But ehhhh, I’m not THAT pious enough to truly remember all the rules. Take what I said here with a grain of salt. Point is, Muslim women are not the icon of opression and wearing a hijab and covering oneself up is one’s choice and not an act by opression.
