My first go at making a bard and I still go with slashy shlash stab stab. This is Thia. She is a good swimmer, climber and dancer but somehow still manages to trip over her own feet while running in a straight line. And she is really sensitive about the fact that she has a trash singing voice.
Pro-Tip
I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy⊠I can go on and on. Iâve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.
Fading Scars / Stretch Marks Organic Therapy Massage Bar
Extra Dry Skin King of Skin In-Shower Body Conditioner, Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer, Sultana of Soap Bar, Tender is the Night Massage Bar, Eachâs a Peach Massage Bar
Acne Fresh Farmacy Solid Cleanser, Eau Roma Toning Water, Full of Grace Serum Bar
Thickening Lashes Eyes Right Mascara / Lash Milk
Edges R&B Hair Moisturizer (if you put this on your edges before wrapping your hair, theyâll be relaxer-straight when you wake up, lasts about 12 hours), Dirty Styling Cream (cream-based edge control with a matte finish, no more shiny or crunchy edges)Â
Hair Growth NEW! Shampoo Bar, Retread Hair Conditioner
I was asked to list the rest of the products I currently have in my possession, so here yâall go!
FACE / HAIR STUFF
Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. Itâs marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, itâs completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit wonât budge. Ever.
Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise itâs just too much.
No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so itâs easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.
Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick wonât crease or dry out all day.
MASSAGE BARS
Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.
Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.
From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. Itâs shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when youâre using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.
SCRUBS
The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesnât leave a residue, so it wonât clog your razor. However, itâs a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.
Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. Itâll dry it up and heal it super quick.
Cup oâ Coffee Face & Body Mask Iâm on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.
Buffy It smells like a vacation, thatâs really the only way to describe it. Itâs an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while youâre still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.
SHOWER GELS / JELLIES
Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because itâs great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.
The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.
Needles & Pines Shower Jelly Itâs a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when itâs hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.
SOAPS:
Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.
Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.
Bohemian Not at all creamy, as itâs an exfoliating soap. Itâs great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.
Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so itâs a good shaving soap because it wonât gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.
Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.
OTHER:
Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I donât use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.
Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. Itâs an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesnât clog pores.
Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Another holy grail. If you could turn cocoa butter into a powder, this would be it. Itâs not drying like baby powder, itâs more silky (itâs also talc-free). I use it between my legs to prevent chafing and under my boobs when itâs hot outside to prevent sweating.
This is actually so helpful because a lot of times I go into lush and I just end up getting pink things and things that smell good because I donât know what other products are worth purchasing!
TALK TO PEOPLE. okay so I only worked there as a seasonal, but these overly polite, overly talkative salespeople have to do 3 demos an hour! SO if they ask if you want to try something, let them. They know what theyâre doing and they will tell you everything you want to know about the product and what it will do for you.
The worst was when I had customers saying that they were just looking because they didnt know a thing about what they were looking at. A lot of the products look identical on the shelves, but they are all specifically tailored for different needs.
Fun facts:
86% of all products are vegan, the rest are vegetarian
everything is ethically sourced, including the charcoal which comes from recycled forest fires
Lush will cut ties with their suppliers if they dont treat their employees nicely enough
Lush saves 10% of their spending budget for emergencies, like when a well broke down in one of their suppliers companies over in Kenya and Lush found out they were lowering women into the well, that money didnt just go to repairing the well, but for getting them a second well as well.
Lush even makes perfume but the scents are about stories instead of smells. Thereâs a little booklet for each one. My favorites are Dear John (about the owner, Mark, not knowing who his dad was) and Dadâs Lemon Tree (which he made after meeting his dad)
Lush also makes makeup, although they are working on getting more pigments
Lush is 21 years old and in 57 countries!
Charity Pot is a lotion that is low scent as not to mix with your other scents, is a lot of cocoa butter, and 100% goes to grassroots charities, they dont even pay people to make it, thatâs how good it is
If you bring in 5 black pots (wash them please, they are dishwasher safe) you can get a free fresh face mask
Lush is the inventor of the bathbomb and most of them have essential oils in them and cocoa butter, so theyâre not just fun, but theyâre actually really good for your skin
There is a Lush Facebook page but more importantly is that there are local Lush facebooks. You can ask them if something is in stock and theyâll get back to you as quickly as possible (the Alderwood location takes only a few hours)
Anything that looks like a big brick of product is sold by weight. Just ask and they will cut you off a piece to fit your budget
FREE SAMPLES. Feel free to ask. They do NOT want to sell you something that is not right for you
Everything is handmade with commercial kitchen like equipment. This is why things donât always look the same, because the recipe changes and different people are making it. Leave room for error and basically Guenivere likes adding more pigment than Brendan does but Brendan makes seasonal stuff thatâs fantastic. Itâs not that itâs gone off or is poorly made. Thereâs a little sticker that shows you who made it and it also has the expiration date on it
It the ingredient list is both green and black, the green is for natural ingredients and black is for synthetic.
If you go in and they dont have something because it was a seasonal or itâs no longer being made, do not be sad. The same scent may be in another product but more importantly, you can still get it. THE LUSH KITCHENÂ puts out products that are no longer being made every night at midnight (UK though so time stuff). Thereâs exclusive merch on there too, including bags and aprons and shirts. Everything goes really really fast though so you have to be ON it.
reblogged to the wrong blog because it took 4 attempts to reblog at all!
this isâŠnice
Okay so I followed this video about foreshortening andâŠ
Sycra. I love you so much for making this video.
YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING SHITTING ME
guys
GUYS
SHIT
SHIT GUYS
are you shitting me right now
years of me avoiding foreshortening aND IT WAS THIS EASY??
reblogging againg because holy cow, this HELPS
Iâll just have to watch this soon
I SERIOUSLY REBLOG THIS EVERTIME ITâS ON MY DASH! ITâS SO HELPFUL!!
But what do I do if I don't agree with Hillary or Trump? Just not vote?
Please voteâŠeven if you donât vote in the presidential electionâŠthere are so many important state and local issues and candidates for you to vote for. Please please please!
Also there are other options than the two main parties. Granted the chances of the Green Party making an upset and winning are very low. But if a large enough percentage of people vote either way they can get the popularity they need to actually be included in more ballots and maybe even debates. Also almost half the us population doesn't vote. Even if that percentage was spread out through multiple candidates it would show there is a large enough voter base that is willing to go out and may lead to changes in party stances. So please vote for anyone instead of not going.
Some Pokemon Go Tips
Just some things Iâve learned that when I share some people donât seem to know yet!Â
CATCH DUPLICATES. Catch them and then return them to prof willow. You can do this by clicking on the pokemonâs stats, scrolling down and hitting transfer. You get pokecandy for this which you can use to evolve/power up your original!Â
Make sure you compare and contrast CPs of your duplicates. One pikachu might be 10cp and the other 56cp. Keep the higher one, transfer the other.Â
That being said DONT waste your time evolving/powering your pokemon just yet. You might work hard to power your eevee to 100cp only to catch one at 150cp the next day. WAIT. In fact, I started only powering up my highest evolved pokemon. (ninetails, fearow, etc)
Pokestops refresh every 5 minutes. You can visit them for an unlimited amount of time. I live right on top of one and check back in whenever I remember to.Â
Leveling up will give you LURES, INCENSE AND INCUBATORS. So donât think you NEED to buy these from the shop.Â
If your wary about spending money for coins, you can GET COINS by having pokemon in gyms. This is the âdefender bonusâ Theres a shield icon in the shop section that you can refresh every 21 hours. You can have up to 10 pokemon in 10 diff gyms for a total of 100 pokecoins and 5000 stardust a day.(10 Pokecoins and 500 stardust per pokemon)
Your gym alliance makes it so that ANY GYM you fight of your own alliance, your pokemon WILL NOT FAINT. Â Their hp will reduce to 1 and they will need healing, but they wonât faint. You also gain gym prestige this way which helps strengthen your alliance territory. Any rival gyms however will faint your pokemon and they will need a REVIVE to keep being used. You can also transform them into candy at this point if you are a heartless monster. :(Â
A gym has a max of 3 pokemon traners/defenders. If you find a gym of your alliance with only 1 or 2 pokemon in it, you can ADD YOUR POKEMON WITHOUT FIGHTING YOUR FELLOW TEAM. Just drop a pokemon in there and keep walking! Free defender bonus. (Do this by clicking the bottom left icon of âadd pokemonâ)
More than one trainer can fight one gym leader at a time. Getting a friend to fight with you is the best way to beat the gym!! You attack at the same time.
ITS NOT TURN BASED ATTACKS. Its real time! Click once for a basic attack, swipe to dodge, and hold down a click for a SPECIAL ATTACK!
My best method is not to dodge at all but just click forever. So long as I have a bigger CP I usually win lol.Â
Do NOT put your best pokemon into a gym. Your second or third only. You cannot recall your pokemon once its in a gym and you will need it to fight other gyms. Â (they get returned to you after they are beaten)
Everyone gets one free incubator that lasts forever. Any extras you find or receive from leveling up only last 3 hatches before breaking.
TRACKING POKEMON! Sparkling grass doesnât guarantee a pokemon showing up. The ânearbyâ tab is the actual tracker. The highest on the list is the closest. Selecting a pokemon in it will make the tracker pulse when you get nearer to it. 3 footsteps away mean THREE RINGS away (or more). 2 footsteps means TWO RINGS, one footstep means one ring and NO RINGS MEANS YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT POKEMON AND IT WILL APPEAR IN 10 SECONDS.
Battery saver mode, found in settings, works as follows: Once clicked on, if you drop your phone to your side as you walk, with the top of your phone facing the ground, the screen will dim so only the pokemon logo shows. It still tracks your steps for your eggs and it will vibrate and beep when a pokemon shows up. As soon as you lift your phone to your face (right side up) the screen will appear again as normal!
The higher level you get, the more rare pokemon you come across.
I think thatâs all Iâve learned so far. Send me an ask or message if you want me to add or change any info here! Happy hunting!!!!Â
You can give your poke ball a curve ball bonus which makes it easier to catch stubborn high level ones by spinning the ball in really quick small circles before tossing. It kind of sparks when your are spinning as a sign. It's a little harder to aim but much more likely catch if you hit.
Read them all here, I felt like this should be remembered somewhere because itâs really good.
*SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE* THIS IS WHAT IâVE BEEN SAYING THIS IS WHAT IâVE BEEN SAYING
This!
so given that the presidential elections are decided by the electoral college and even going against the popular vote several times, wouldn't it be more powerful to not vote and help decrease the voter turnout, thus beginning to crumble the foundation of the terribly disgustingly flawed representative democracy in america? It's not that individual votes amidst masses is meaningless, it's that the masses are meaningless, the decision is out of our hands as a people and i find it abhorrent.
People seem to be really really confused about the electoral college these days. I keep hearing from people that the electoral college has, on several occasions, just decided to elect someone the people did not vote for.
This.
Has.
Never.Â
Happened.
And.
Will.
Never.Â
Happen.
Itâs true that it /could/ happen. In some states electors can cast their vote for whoever they want, but thatâs happened only in a tiny number of extremely weird cases and itâs never even been close to deciding an election. Out of the 13526 electoral votes that have been cast since 1900, 8 of them were intentionally cast for candidates they werenât pledged for. You can read about each weird and interesting case on the Faithless Electors wikipedia page.
What has happened, is that the imbalance of the electoral college has (several times) resulted in a candidate winning a /very close/ election when the popular vote went to a different candidate.
Two reasons for that:
1. In most states 100% of electors go to the winner regardless of whether itâs close or a landslide. So if 100% Californians vote for the Democratic candidate and 51% of Texans go with the Republican, FAR MORE PEOPLE will have voted for the Democrat, but the electoral votes wonât reflect that.
2. Some states get more electors per person than other states. Why? Because of a compromise that was made quite a long time ago that kept this country from falling apart before it ever existed. The compromise continues to serve some purpose, showing that individual states do have autonomy and thus every state deserves significant representation even if it does not have a ton of people.
You can have a problem with this, but you canât say that the Electoral College is the source of some disgusting, treacherous rot that is ruining America when itâs part of the very same system that the people who created America designed for very specific reasons and with very specific intentions.Â
We can say that the Electoral Collegeâs time is done and that we shouldnât have it anymore (a sentiment I agree with) but you canât say that it somehow decides the election based on whims. Electors vote for who you tell them to vote for 13,519 times out of 13,526.

when your child comes to you and says âthis is something that makes me uncomfortable and unhappy and makes me not want to spend time with youâ and you respond with a 20 minute speech that boils down to âdeal with it because life sucksâ you have no respect for your child and you need to change your parenting tactics
i made this a month ago and the worst thing about it is that so many people can relate
or my personal favorites from my parents. A 5-10 minute indignant rant about how the thing I mentioned never happened or was in fact my fault and a one time occurrence instead of a commonly repeated offence. Or a threat/ you are lucky people are here or I would [insert empty threat here]. Childhood was super.Â
UNARMED BLACK MAN FATALLY SHOT BY VOLUNTEER COP
Eric Harris, who was unarmed, died an hour later after what Tulsa, Oklahoma police officials called a âmistake.â According to several news sources, On April 2nd, the victim had reportedly tried to sell a gun to undercover cops and fled on foot as they attempted to arrest him. A video camera captured him, wearing dark shorts and a t-shirt, running up a sidewalk. Harris was quickly caught and subdued. Thatâs when a 73-year-old volunteer patrolman, Robert Bates, âallegedlyâ reached for his Taser, but grabbed âaccidentallyâ grabbed his gun instead. According to Tulsa World, Bates, who has donated thousands of dollars worth of items to the Sheriffâs Office since becoming a reserve deputy in 2008, is a Tulsa insurance company executive. He was working undercover as a member of the Tulsa County Sheriffâs Office Violent Crimes Task Force. The World reported that âBates is classified as an âadvanced reserve,â which means he âcan do anything a full-time deputy can do.ââÂ
Rather than immediately render aid, the officers held Harris down by his neck as a deputy screamed, âFuck You! You shouldnât have f*cking ran!â
As Eric Harris lay mortally wounded, face down on the pavement, he begged for his life. âHe shot me!â Harris shouted. âHe shot me, man. Oh, my god. Iâm losing my breath.âÂ
âF*ck your breath!â the officer yelled.
Capt. Billy McKelvey said the officers were not aware the suspect had been shot, despite the unmistakable sound of the gunshot noise. Bates âmade an inadvertent mistake,â he said.
The New York Daily News reported that no further investigation is planned, unless requested by the sheriffâs office.

#StayWoke
BUT CAN WE GET INTO THE FACT THAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT WAS A FUCKING VOLUNTEER COP! WowâŠjust wow. Another George Zimmerman.
When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience âa callingâ. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere.Â
Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a personâs grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.
The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly Iâm not a failure because I donât adore my job, and because Iâm not rocking the world with my work. That is okay.Â
Sometimes, work is just work. There isnât always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is âpaidâ.
This reminds me of the âIf you donât want to be paid minimum wage go to college and get a real jobâ. Not everyone has the means for college and ultimately we as a society need people to take the trash, operate gas stations, run cash registers, and ect. Those people are necessary for our economy and society as a whole to run and to act as if those occupation aren't necessary and deserving of respect is short sighted at best.
So Yah it isn't necessary to love your job. You wonât necessarily find your happiness at work. But remember what ever your job is you are necessary.
okay I feel like I'm the only person who knows that Mulan was a real person and not talked about enough
Her story goes mostly how the Disney version went, except she didnât go to war as a quest for self-discovery or because she felt as though she couldnât make her parents proud. The sole and only reason she disguised herself as a young man was to take her Fatherâs place in the war.
So when she told her parents that she wanted to this, they were like wtf no youâre a girl and itâs chaotic out there. And you know what she did? She put on male clothes and challenged her own Father to a duel. Her dad was like âwho the hell are youâ but accepted. When Mulan won and revealed herself as his daughter, he was like wOAH okay you can go. Basically she made sure to get her parentâs consent before going, so not only are her parents awesome, she was decent enough to not leave them hanging for 12 years.
Yes, she was at war for 12 years, but she not in fact meet a handsome general. Instead she BECAMEÂ a general. Eventually the war was won, and the Emperor was so impressed by her he wanted to wed the Princess to her. It was only then that she revealed she was in fact a woman. Then she accepted the rewards and went right back home to her normal life.Â
There is now even a crater on Venus named after her.
"Together with United Nationsâ Free and Equal and with special thanks to researchers at the Burkle Center for International Relations, UCLA, we created an infographic to debunk the myth that homosexuality is a Western import. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and related identities have been present in various forms throughout history. As seen from the infographic below, many cultures have included, with varying degrees of acceptance, individuals who practice same-[gender] relations as well as those whose gender, gender identity and gender expression challenge prevailing norms, and many cultures still do. Download the pdf version of the infographic here.
transfriendly jobs
 iâve been doing research about jobs/companies that are accepting of trans and the like since iâm going job hunting again next month, and i found this list, which lists trans-friendly businesses. it links to this page, a directory for employers.
tagging so people can see it, i figured this might come in handy for some people!
