Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
I love Star Trek with all my heart, but good god, whenever I see them do "Science" it makes me laugh so hard because PPE and Safety Protocols are literally nonexistent
the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are
the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs
the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years
the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and
humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower
like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry
Here it is, my @startrekpotluck fic for 2024: "Safe Foods"
In a couple of Star Trek novels, Chekov is depicted as being resistant to trying unfamiliar foods. While these scenes were probably supposed to be lighthearted, as someone who lives with ARFID and sensory issues, these scenes hit me an entirely different way. That inspired this fic!
Please read the author's notes carefully. If you are unfamiliar with the experiences described in the fic, I hope this helps inform you! And if you live with ARFID, know that you are welcome at the potluck table 🖖

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
[Text Description: “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a slur. It means ‘snow eaters’ in Cree and is a slur against Inuit . Also don’t use ‘Eskimo kisses’. It’s called Kunik. It is a greeting mostly used for family… Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.” /TD]
what's absolutely infuriating is that the majority of Americans support a ceasefire and if our politicians actually listened to us, they'd stop supplying Israel with weapons. and then they'd lose the stick they're beating Palestine with.
and then they'd fucking stop because Israel would be a mewling kitten without the support of its western allies.
but America is a war machine at heart, not a country, and defense contractors love producing missiles. so you know.
the average American can't afford rent without 3 roommates and people can't afford to have families anymore, but government money is definitely well spent when it lines the pockets of the self satisfied billionaires living on Massachusetts Avenue and Prospect Street who will never be held accountable for their blood soaked greed. they'll be buried in their suits and gold watches, while their victims are buried under rubble.
The world ignorantly thinks that Palestine was empty and completely undeveloped until it was invaded by Israel in 1948!
These historical images from 1930 to 1940 show us that not only Palestine was beautiful, but it was highly developed for its time, rivaling even the most beautiful European cities of that era such as London, Paris, and Berlin!
Share it so that the world knows the truth about Palestine's beauty and development before occupation! robinson.selina No it was not a crappy piece of land.
Go educate yourself and your Zionist friends.
