Rohypnol has an INCREDIBLY salty taste to it. It’s disgusting. And it also isn’t a drug that acts immediately! The minute you notice the salty taste, you have about 5-10 minutes to get somewhere safe or call an ambulance, and it CAN be fought if you’re aware of it. It will make you woozy, it will make you so dizzy you can’t stand upright, it will certainly make you unable to walk properly, but if you struggle to remain conscious you can get about 20 extra minutes of consciousness from the drug before it will knock you out completely. If you’re in a public place, and the person who drugged you is trying to take you somewhere private, start. a. fight. Insist as LOUDLY and as VIOLENTLY as you can that you refuse to go anywhere with them. Odds are they’re trying to make as little of a scene as possible as they drag you away, and if you’re putting up a fight and very clearly ‘drunk’, eyes will turn on them and they’ll either need to let you go, or cause a serious scene, which they don’t want. Don’t just act like you’re just protesting being taken home, though. Fight like your life depends on it even if they aren’t assaulting you. Cause. A. Scene. That’s the last thing they want.

It’s never acceptable. Don’t ever let white people tell you that getting verbal abuse is normal.

 You may offer your thanks to Magarete Steiff

She lived in Germany and could be considered as the first person to sew stuffed animals merly for children to play with and to counter the common “hard” toys out of wood or metal wich were popular back then.

There is even so much more to the story, because she was as you can see paraliezed from polio, she couldnt walk or use her right arm, she had to fight all her life just to be accpeted as a human being, she wasnt even allowed to sit in the front row of church in her home village and had a pretty abusive mother. One time she and her brother almost drowned but the townpeople only attempted to save her brother because he was healty. Her father saved her from drowning in last minute.

 Only her father and brother stood behind her, still she learned to accept her faith and make the best out of it. After a failed operation she said she had gone around living this way anyways. She started to sew, more importantly she started to sew with a sewing machine wich was realy new at this time. People would not buy from her at first but then she made a realy beautyfull dress for her best friend and suddenly everyone was crazy for her work.

Then she started to sew little elephants as pincushions, but when she attempted to sell them around christmas she quickly realized that for one children were crazy for them and wanted them as toys and also. this was what she wanted to do, bringing happiness to kids.

She expanded futher and gave work to over 20 women as sewers in her factory, her brother helped her to do so, and she started producing stuffed animals of all kinds (almost) their trademark was a button sewed into every anmals ear. It still is to this day.

Whit the economy crisis her factory, and she almost lost it, she already couldnt pay her workers, he factory was about to be forceclosed and the last hope was a toy fair they would attend,

and then she had an idea, she sewed a bear, the very first stuffed toy bear there was, with moveable head and limbs and realy soft fur and glass eyes, it was beautyfull, but at the toyfair most people thoght it was to expensive

most people because one american buyer fell in love with the bears, he bought them all and he ordered 3000 more, it saved the factory

you may ask why would anyone need 3000 stuffed toy bears easy, to support and advertise the candidacy of  Theodore Roosevelt as the U.S. president, trough that the toy bear invented by Magarete Steiff became well known as the

Teddy Bear

[kittyprincessofcats]

Tiny correction: Her first name is spelled “Margarete” :)

Also, for those of you who speak German: There’s a really beautiful movie about her life (x) - I don’t think there’s an English dub though. There’s also a museum in her hometown in Germany (x).

And by the way, her company still exists to this day and is probably the most famous stuffed toy company in Germany.

It’s that time of year again

Just a reminder as the New Year’s resolutions start up again:

 - Losing weight doesn’t make anyone “better” than they were before.

- You do not have to congratulate or support anyone who tries to lose weight.

- Losing weight isn’t equivalent to “taking care of yourself.”

- Holidays are supposed to be enjoyed. Regretting one’s enjoyment in the form of a punishing exercise or fasting regime drains the joy from holidays.

- You do not have to feel guilty for not dieting around others who are.

- Weight loss does not produce a “new you!” People who lose weight are the same people, with the same rights and deserts. They did not earn the privileges they get from being thin(ner).

- Thin privilege is a helluva drug. Stay mentally and physically safe, this season. If you are considering losing weight through some regime or surgically, consider putting off your decision until after the peer pressure of resolution season has died down.

- If you want to change your life, change it in ways that are measurable in happiness, not in tape-measure inches and numbers on a scale.

This is so important. 👆 

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) proposed legislation to decriminalize sex work as part of a sweeping resolution she introduced aimed at revolutionizing the criminal justice system. The People’s Justice Guarantee includes proposals to combat mass incarceration by expanding access to restorative justice, ending the cash-bail system, implementing minimum sentences, terminating solitary confinement and ending the death penalty. The U.S. “has a moral obligation to meet its foundational promise of guaranteed justice for all,” the bill reads. 

Notably, the resolution also includes a clause calling to decriminalize sex work, which is often a byproduct of discrimination, poverty and/or addiction. “Two principles of the People’s Justice Guarantee are safety and dignity ― both of which are compromised for consensual sex workers,” Pressley told HuffPost. “Sex work is work. In fact, sex work is often the only form of work for certain marginalized communities who are most vulnerable to housing and employment discrimination.”

Summer means poor children are not getting 2 free meals a day at school so if you’re able, please consider donating to your local food bank.

[iliveondaydreams]

Until September 2nd, if you’re under 18, you can receive free lunch at public library branches in NYC (proof of age shouldn’t be required), and from trucks at certain locations around the city. Some schools should be open and providing them, too!!

The Best-Dressed Men at the Met Gala 2019: Risking Foolishness, Arriving at Defiant Good Taste

The twist here is that, honey, the culture is camp all the way down to the ground.

JT Anon sent me this link.

Apparently, Ben made the best dressed list of The New Yorker for some strange reason.  This is what they had to say about his outfit:

Now I know why I hate Ben’s outfit so much.  I don’t think I’ve ever even thought of using “pure comedy” and “colonialism” in the same sentence.

[nuttyarcadestarfish]

I liked the suit. Didnt like the cane or hat.

[sherlockholmesandsnowflakes]

Um, colonialism is an ongoing violence and attempted genocide, not a comedy for white peoples entertainment and gaze. Wtf.

Benedict Cumberbatch makes a VERY bold fashion statement in NYC

The Sherlock star, 42, opted for an orange corduroy bomber jacket with matching cuffed trousers.

The Loveliest Closet Skeptic In The World™ sent me the link to the latest Fail write-up on Ben, and told me to have a look at the comments section.

Errrrrrrrrr….

Out of the 70 comments so far, 65 are mean-spirited / negative, 4 are positive, and 1 falls under the category of “pengwings”.

Intern?  Call Karon and tell her to tell Ben that whatever he thinks he’s doing is not working at the moment.

[nuttyarcadestarfish]

Yuck hate the outfit.

[sherlockholmesandsnowflakes]

Well, thanks for this, I needed a laugh.
