How do I keep wonderclips in place in a sewing bag? I alter a pin cushion pattern, install a zipper and then place a magnet on the back to clip the bag in place! Voila! Finished! Yes, I'm listening to The Dark Tower series in the background and I absolutely named this bag my "Sewing Gunna" bag! Will post photos soon!
Reblog if you agree.
I agree
all the time if i don’t reblog assume the worst
And if they rise again, this time we hunt them until they don't ever exist again. Just bring them in alive. Death is paltry. It's rest and sleep. The idea is to make hell on earth. The idea is to make them forsake hope and their gods because we can make existence the worst nightmare in history!
THIS OKAY
You want to get kids out of foster care and into good, loving homes? I’ve got a simple solution to your problem.
Did you know LGBT couples are more likely to adopt older, children of color and disable children than straight couples? LGBT couples tend to adopt ‘undesired’ children more (basically kids no one else wants.)
This is so important because I remember being in the system and being so scared that I would never be adopted or loved or whatever and seriously just fucking let them, take the fear out of finding a family
Exactly. I reblog this every time I see it. EVERY time.
Can we also normalize adoption more? I know not everyone can afford it/do it, but if you can, please don’t be afraid to make this your first option, not the “back-up“.
also adoption should NOT be expensive and should be an easy process for qualified prospective parents. find these kids fucking homes for fuck’s sake
Adopting children from foster care is pretty inexpensive. It’s expensive when people try to do private adoption. Which is not to say, there can’t be hidden expenses. This is particularly true if for whatever reason, you end up needing a lawyer. Otherwise, please adopt from foster care, you won’t regret it. I got interrupted writing this with kisses from one of my adopted daughters.
If you help gay parents adopt, the comeback to these hetero bigots is simply, "see, whether it's abortion, birth control, adoption or immigration, the trads and heteros tend to adhere to a policy of 'no I meant OTHER people have to do the right thing' so gays stepped the fuck up. Deeds not words!"
I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.
I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂
He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.
It gets better.
We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts
Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value
Absolutely
For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.
He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.
And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.
Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically.

THANK YOU
I love this one personally.
It gotta better
THIS👏IS👏SO👏IMPORTANT👏 These comics RADIATE good dad energy and I am LIVING for it!
LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!!!!!1
i think the best thing about gen z is their dedication to self care and by this i mean when john mulaney performed at a college and he took a sip of water the crowd would start applauding and someone yelled at him “hydrate before you die-drate” therefor confusing an already confused man even more
I went to a Hozier concert where he sent his manager out afterward to apologize to fans waiting to meet him. She was like “he’s not feeling great and he’s got a migraine and he’s really sorry” and everyone was like TELL HIM TO GET SOME SLEEP and like, sent her back inside with three dozen Zennial/Gen Z lesbians (okay and a couple of Millennials, I wasn’t the only one) giving her migraine tips to pass on.
The kids are getting back to the idea that we’re a community and should take care of each other, and I really love that.
wow i didn’t even realize this. like just last night, bernie sanders was holding a rally and sounded tired and a little hoarse. almost every comment was a variation of “donate so bernie can take a nap and have some water.”
i love that we’ve started romanticizing taking care of ourselves instead of hurting ourselves.
Finally some relatable fucking content.
So, okay, fun fact. When I was a freshman in high school… let me preface by saying my dad sent me to a private school and, like a bad organ transplant, it didn’t take. I was miserable, the student body hated me, I hated them, it was awful.
Okay, so, freshman year, I’m deep in my “everything sucks and I’m stuck with these assholes” mentality. My English teacher was a notorious hard-ass, let’s call him Mr. Hargrove. He was the guy every student prayed they didn’t get. And, on top of ALL OF THE SHIT I WAS ALREADY DEALING WITH, I had him for English.
One of the laborious assignments he gave us was to keep a daily journal. Daily! Not monthly or weekly. Fucking daily. Handwritten. And we had to turn it in every quarter and he fucking graded us. He graded us on a fucking journal.
All of my classmates wrote shit like what they did that day or whatever. But, I did not. No, sir. I decided to give the ol’ middle finger to the assignment and do my own shit.
So, for my daily journal entries, over the course of an entire year, I wrote a serialized story about a horde of man-eating slugs that invaded a small mining town. It was graphic, it was ridiculous, it was an epic feat of rebellion.
And Mr. Hargrove loved it.
It wasn’t just the journal. Every assignment he gave us, I tried to shit all over it. Every reading assignment, everyone gushed about how good it was, but I always had a negative take. Every writing assignment, people wrote boring prose, but I wrote cheesy limericks or pulp horror stories.
Then, one day, he read one of my essays to the class as an example of good writing. When a fellow student asked who wrote it, he said, “Some pipsqueak.”
And that’s when I had a revelation. He wanted to fight. And since all the other students were trying to kiss his ass, I was his only challenger.
Mr. Hargrove and I went head-to-head on every assignment, every conversation, every fucking thing. And he ate it up. And so did I.
One day, he read us a column from the Washington Post and asked the class what was wrong with it. Everyone chimed in with their dumbass takes, but I was the one who landed on Mr. Hargrove’s complaint: The reporter had BRAZENLY added the suffix “ize” to a verb.
That night I wrote a jokey letter to the reporter calling him out on the offense in which I added “ize” to every single verb. I gave it to Mr. Hargrove, who by then had become a friendly adversary, for a chuckle and he SENT IT TO THE REPORTER.
And, people… The reporter wrote back. And he said I was an exceptional student. Mr. Hargrove and I had a giggle about that because we both knew I was just being an asshole, but he and the reporter acknowledged I had a point.
And that was it. That was the moment. Not THAT EXACT moment, but that year with Mr. Hargrove taught me I had a knack for writing. And that knack was based in saying “fuck you” to authority. (The irony that someone in a position of authority helped me realize that is not lost on me.)
So, I can say without qualification that Mr. Hargrove is the reason I am now a professional writer. Yes, I do it for a living. And most of my stuff takes authorities of one kind or another to task.
Mr. Hargrove showed me my dissent was valid, my rebellion was righteous, and that killer slugs could bring a city to its knees. Someone just needs to write it.
During one of Birds of Prey’s fight sequences, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) identifies a teammate’s vulnerability and provides a critical assist — by lending her a hair tie. This small act of sisterhood is as familiar in an everyday context as it is surprising in the DC Extended Universe. It’s one of the many ways that Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) differs from its superhero movie forebears: It not only stars women, it was made by them, too. “There’s more women in front [of] and behind the camera than any movie I’d worked on, which is pretty incredible,” says Robbie, who also produced the film. “It was partly a conscious decision, but it also always felt like the organic, right choice to make.”
—Entertainment Weekly: How the R-rated, women-powered Birds of Prey flips the bird — and the script — in high-flying style
Only a movie produced by women would FINALLY show the stupidity of fighting with loose long hair! Thank you!!
Hair is used as oppression in everyday life...to all women. Women of color have it the worst because everyone helps with the stereotype that ethnic hair is unruly or lacks traits to be "professional" in the workplace. This is the most obvious form of oppression in the 21st century.
It's still more nuanced than this. Until combat roles opened to women, short hair was frowned upon in the Army. I served intermittently (damn stop loss, extension, and IRR straight to hell) from 2003 to 2012 and I chopped my hair off twice in that time. I used to have carrot red hair which changed to an extremely temperamental red that switches between a warm mahogany (my favorite) indoors and a mean, "I will destroy your bloodline" flaming inferno in sunlight after I had children. I'm Irish and Korean so taming my hair isn't an option. I opted for super short hair which frizzed out so I buzzed the back.
Immediately I was met with "masculine hairstyles are not allowed according to AR 670-1" and "females must maintain a feminine appearance" excuses. I let it grow out which was hell. Once my hair was long again, I was treated to "you have to keep that up in a fight!" And "make sure you keep your hair out of the way." Of course, after hours, men wanted long hair and made a point to say so. It was about redefining my role as a woman and it was intentionally designed to make me a sex object to even the men I outperformed. It's all bullshit.
Ethnic women (mostly Latinas and black women) in the Army taught me to tame my hair. I will forever be indebted to them for helping me tame my hair. They taught me about products and breakage, they showed me how to make unruly Celtic barbarian hoard hair rest in a sleek and smart sock bun. They supported me through it. Not one man offered help. Not once. My hair was to be up when he demanded it and down and wrapped in his fist while he raped me when his mood struck. My rapists LOVED my hair. They made comments about "taming the ginger" when they gang raped me. They never wanted anything but pleasure and ease of access to sex and tyranny.
I have worked in male jobs my entire life. Now I am an educator. But until a year ago, I was a firefighter, a soldier (later a veteran), a mechanic, a construction worker and a trucker until this job. Not one man has ever helped. Not even a single hair tie. Not once. Just from my experience with hair, I can say that men are the ones who should never be portrayed as super heroes. Ever. I'm not talking about rape, abuse, my honorable discharge after fighting rapists, my experience with all bad senators being those who are male, or my experiences in other categories. From just hair itself, men are unfit to be seen as helpers. Ever.
My mom literally did this last night when I was complaining about how many times I’ve been assaulted or made to feel unsafe around male acquaintances and friends. It wasn’t even about who I was dating but she said I need to hang out with a “better group of people,” despite the fact that this kind of shit has happened in every type of social situation I’ve ever been in regardless of how “good” the people are. She really fucking thinks the people she surrounds herself with are better. It’s so hurtful bc she makes me feel like I’m just surrounding myself with bad men and that’s why I’m hurt, even though I am exceptionally careful who I’m around.

I’m more concerned with my mama’s well-being.
My answer to this is ALWAYS, "I wouldn't know so it doesn't matter. It's my mom's choice and I'm an adult now. I'm not childish enough to believe none of this around me could exist without my presence. What kind of little bitch thinks like that? Grow up maybe?"
the gop is evil, through and through. And it didn’t start with trump.

Confirmed by Snopes. There’s a lot more to this so I suggest reading the article and sources.
Here’s how Republicans win support for the idea of smaller government when people actually really like government programs:
1. Complain that government agencies are incompetent and private industry could do it better.
2. Hamstring the agency with absurd requirements that are nearly impossible to satisfy.
3. Point to the new problems in the agency as proof that it should lose its funding.
They’re currently doing it to the immigration court system. They did it to Amtrak. They did it to the VA and then Obamacare. And because most people don’t really follow Congressional funding arguments, it works every. fucking. time.
Fuck the Republican Party to death.
Republicans have no education and no morals.
To save the entire world (not just America), Republicans must be tried for treason and sentenced to death or permanent isolation.
handwashing can dramatically lower the risk of contracting coronavirus because it's an enveloped virus, it's specifically surrounded in a lipid (fat) and the majority of soaps are designed to break up grease and fat bonds which means if you break up that outer layer? the virus dies! it's not super hardy without that outer layer, so washing your hands beyond just physically removing the virus, kills it as well if you use soap.
here's a handy chart on the best practices for hand washing! a large part of people don't do it correctly and it's not always life or death, but with the incredibly infectious nature of COVID-19 it doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the proper way to do it!
heads up: if you have rude things to say to people who didn't know the information you do, please keep it to yourself. we learn through teaching, not through shame.
any comments about how people dying of covid-19 is due to poor hygiene is getting blocked. washing your hands is to protect not only yourself, but other people who are at infinitely more risk of dying from the virus than you, much like how people who don't get vaccines aren't the ones dying from preventable disease, it's the ones who CAN'T get vaccines who have it spread to them. those people's immune systems can't take a vaccine in the first place.
who is this brilliant man
His name is Jacque Fresco. He’s a futurist and social engineer. He lectures his views on sustainable cities, energy efficiency, natural-resource management, and the role of science in society, while being entirely self-taught.
He’s also the founder of the Venus Project, an organization that advocates a resource-based economy. The project combines Fresco’s versions of sustainable development, natural resource management, energy efficiency, and advanced automation in a global socioeconomic system based on social cooperation and scientific methodology.
As you can tell he’s a pretty badass dude.
