The Guy Holding An AK-47

BINDER GIVEAWAY XIV: Now more than ever

Hello, friends. It feels like it’s been awhile.

When things like this happen, Ark inevitably contemplates quitting everything they’re doing and joining the front lines in a protest tent city somewhere.

But frankly, Ark’s practical skills are behind a sewing machine. That’s where they can be most useful. And we feel strongly that our mission at Shapeshifters, that of helping anyone and everyone with chest dysphoria and/or discomfort to be more comfortable with their chest and safer in their presentation, is a good and important one. So we’ll stick with it, for as long as we possibly can.

As ever, each sale contributes $1 to our giveaway fund. Thus, now that we’ve hit another 50-sale milestone, we’ll be holding our fourteenth giveaway.

The lucky winner will receive one single-layer custom-sized binder in their choice of size, cut, and print. This means anything we offer that’s priced at $50. Check out the (new) store for your options.

The fine print:

Only reblogs or retweets count. One per blog/twitter. No giveaway blogs.

Retweet this tweet and follow the @ShapeshiftersCB twitter for an extra entry.

Entries from all countries are welcome.

You may reblog without entering, just tag or comment accordingly so we know. Signal boosts are always appreciated.

If you have commentary, please add it in the tags! Due to Tumblr limitations beyond our control, your entry may not be counted if you add text to this post.

The winner will be randomly selected on **December 5, 2016**. We will send an ask and a message notifying Tumblr winners, and a DM notifying winners on Twitter.

If the winner does not get back to us within three days, a new winner will be selected in their place.

I’ve come to accept that many of my peers at my particular college just do not understand how APA format (or the process of peer assessing) works. To that end, I’ve gotten used to appealing peer assessed grades.

It’s good letter writing practice, at least.

“Interview With the Vampire” or, as I like to call it: “Louis, That’s Gay: The Book”

[therogueinred]

I got excited for a second about a reboot to Interview With the Vampire (not because I didn’t like the 90s film, I love that, I simply love seeing more prettyboys being paraded across the screen as vampires that don’t sparkle, is all) -- but then I felt crushed, simply by the (rumor?) that Jared Leto would be Lestat.

I mean. Look, I don’t like the guy. I don’t like his version of Joker, I don’t like how he acted behind the scenes in Suicide Squad, and he just. He bugs me. And Lestat? Lestat?

Lestat is my favourite. Damn, man, I love Lestat so much. Louis is okay, but he does soooo much bitchin’ and whinin’ that I just crave the insensitivity and bluntness of Lestat, especially when paired with Lestat’s ability to be charming, beautiful, and seductive. He’s everything I like in my vamps.

(You can probably tell that I prefer Damen to Stefan, too, due to those extremely specific preferences, but hey, if I’m going to waste time, I’ll waste it on a vampire soap opera drama thing like Vampire Diaries.)

Now, hey, this is just a rumor. Leto could have nothing to do with the (alleged?) reboot of Interview. But it still upsets me to think of him as Lestat, because of a personal disliking I have for him (sorry, pal o’ mine who adores Leto -- I just think he sucks as a person, a bit). But, if he did end up playing Lestat... well... I’d give him a very slim chance. Very slim.

The amount of “Gansey doesn’t die AU” tags on AO3 (where I go to AU tags when I need a fluff fix and don’t want to wait for my OTP to become canon in two more books) is making me legit sad. I get teary-eyed and I’m just “no” because no.

I really hope that’s not a spoiler (in that I hope they actually circumvent that stupid “true love kiss then death” thing). And what happens to Noah that’s sad? Am I going to regret reading this???

I probably am.

Darn. :/

I advise you to mark it on your calendar. Just in case.

Scary as fuck: the pictures of the clouds above CERN. Reminds me of watching The Flash when there was cross-dimensional crap going on (I guess that’s still going on, but that’s irrelevant).

Fuck. Honestly? fuck.

I’ve been spending too much time on Mandela Effect stuff, and now I’m onto CERN-Mandela connections, which lead me to look up CERN, because I had no goddamn idea what it was (and I probably should have??)

idk

I’m just freaking out a bit. But how bad could parallel dimensions be? Right?

side effects of being numb due to mental illness:

not crying for weeks and weeks on end until one day, you’re breaking down over something that isn’t actually worth getting upset about

not being able to tell if your feelings for people are platonic or romantic or if you’re just lonely

instead of caring too much, you don’t care at all about anything

not being able to process anything going on in your life and when you try, your brain stalls out

losing your train of thought every five seconds, so when you try to have a conversation, you have to pause and remember what you were trying to say

word vomiting

mind “static”

High-functioning anxiety sounds like…

You’re not good enough. You’re a bad friend. You’re not good at your job. You’re wasting time. You’re a waste of time. Your boyfriend doesn’t love you. You’re so needy. What are you doing with yourself? Why would you say that? What if they hate it? Why can’t you have your shit together? You’re going to get anxious and because you’re going to get anxious, you’re going to mess everything up. You’re a fraud. Just good at faking it. You’re letting everybody down. No one here likes you.

All the while, it appears perfectly calm.

It’s always looking for the next outlet, something to channel the never-ending energy. Writing. Running. List-making. Mindless tasks (whatever keeps you busy). Doing jumping jacks in the kitchen. Dancing in the living room, pretending it’s for fun, when really it’s a choreographed routine of desperation, trying to tire out the thoughts stuck in your head.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written out as if it were describing me exactly.

I’m trying to figure out why people hate Tyler Oakley so much, here. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because people are throwing a bitch fit over some of his more public missteps and mistakes. OH MY GOD! A YOUTUBER IS HUMAN TOO??? HOW IN THE FUCK AM I GOING TO MANAGE WHEN HE DOES SOMETHING WRONG OR MAKES A MISTAKE??? WILL LIFE GO ON???

(Spoiler: life will go on, chill)

Idk, I’m pissed about the rampant hate for Oakley. I’ve seen it everywhere, but had to look for a reason why.

And “transphobic comments” my ass, I saw the screencapped comments and only one of the two utilized uses of “tranny” in a context that was actually perceivable as insulting, in any way. And it was when he was pleased that a crossdresser(?) had asked him to take his shirt off. WHen he was flattered. Bad choice of words but -- seriously?? You’re crucifying him over that??? Grow up. The other one was mistaking “Shannon” for “Tranny.” Which isn’t insulting, it’s funny that he copped to the mis-hearing, dumbasses. Funny.

Today’s Olympic Sins, courtesy my co-watching family members:

(warning: lots of transphobia ahead)

1. Saying that a woman running looks like “Bruce Jenner”

- sin tally: three

--for a transphobic joke that implies the woman in question looked like a man

--and further implying that Caitlyn is a man

--disrespect of Caitlyn Jenner’s chosen name

2. Disrespect of intersex athletes

- sin tally: two

--disrespecting athletes for something they cannot help

--judging without understanding

3. Body negativity

- sin tally: one

--calling the throwers “flabby” and insinuating that they should be muscular

4. Trashing a name

- sin tally: three

--implying that names have inherent genders

--judging the name “Castor” on the basis of it “sounding” like a man’s name

--trashing the aforementioned athlete named Castor, questioning their gender (as if it matters)

Homophobia and Transphobia sucks. I’m so sick of this. THIS is why I hate major sporting events. If people aren’t loud as fuck, they’re dissing anyone they can and finding opportunities to be homophobic and transphobic.
