THANK YOU FOR THE LAST ONE

Bisexuals are…

Valid

WELCOME BACK! For those who logged off, this is what you missed.

1. @staff made a post pretty much saying “Your stuff isn’t getting deleted, just hidden from everyone but you” and “Yeah we know you hate the term “female presenting nipples” but we ain’t gonna stop saying it” 2. If a blog has a pixelated icon that means they got hit by the ban, you cannot view that blog outside the sidebar. You cannot even view their archive. Allegedly if you follow the advice in this post it’ll be fixed but only if it was an accidental flag (aka a real sfw blog) 3. The post Staff made including examples of what was ok to post. It got flagged. 4. Yes, the bots are still here. Yes they are still stealing posts and putting porn links on them. Yes there are still ads with stuff more sexual than they allow in posts. Yes innocent things are still getting flagged. 5. So yes, the site is still here and staff are still morons.

Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase. 

“I won’t be available.”

Imagine you’re at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day off–coming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really don’t want to give up your day off.

If you consider yourself a millennial you’ve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if you’re a gen-Z kid you’re likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:

The fact is, it doesn’t matter to your boss whether you’re having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you won’t be at work. So telling them why you won’t be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.

If you say “I won’t be available,” giving no further information, you’d be surprised how often that’s enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say “sorry, but I won’t be available.” But don’t make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, they’ll accept that as a ‘no’ and try to find someone else. 

But bosses aren’t always professional. Sometimes they’re whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer is–politely and sympathetically give them no further information.

“Are you sure you’re not available?” “Sorry, but yes.”

“Why won’t you be available?” “I have a prior commitment.” (Which you do, even if it’s only to yourself.)

“What’s your prior commitment?” “Sorry, but that’s kind of personal.”

“Can you reschedule it?” “I’m afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?”

If you don’t give them anything to work with, they can’t pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, they’ll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.

IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!!

Just like with many other parts of life, learn to say ‘no’ to people. You are important. Don’t kill yourself for another person, esp. if they are your boss.

(Sound is very much required on this one.)

Sometimes food is so darn tasty you gotta sing its praises.

AWOOOOO!

I’m a pro-choice Catholic. A lot of my Religious Friends™️ give me shit about it tho. In my opinion, pro choice isn’t encouraging everyone to go get an abortion as soon as they have an unplanned pregnancy. It’s giving women that option if they choose to and keeping the government out of women’s fucking business. It’s women being able to get an abortion and feeling safe in clinics. It’s women being able to have a choice.

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS WHEN BLEACHING ASIAN HAIR Guys, I’m getting a lot of hair related questions in my messages by girls who tell me “I want white! I want gray! I want pastel lilac!” and i am posting this video by this asian girl who tells you what to realistically expect if you are bleaching BLACK ASIAN HAIR. I mean, she’s obviously not an expert, but her experience is accurate. She tells you that it’s hard to get past anything other than orange because Asian hair is hard to bleach. It doesn’t lighten like Western hair does. And if you bleach it over and over again in an attempt to get to white, it will be super damaged and gross. So what she did was tone the orange hair she got, and she ended up with this dark blonde. Then she has to go through a resting period before attempting to bleach any more. There’s a reason why I have never had white hair, and it’s because I refuse to have brittle, damaged hair. And I STILL have dry ends, by the way. After all my precautions, I still have damage. This is not an exaggeration, so heed my warning. Other girls may have gone white in the span of 1 week, but they ended up chopping 4 to 5 inches off their ends in the process. There was this one Filipino girl who got white hair - she did it over the course of TEN months. She was super patient and dedicated and did not bleach all in one day/week. Do’s and dont’s: 1. Never double process. It’s tempting to bleach twice in a day. DON’T DO IT.

2. Don’t bleach more than once a month. 3. You are free to not follow my advice and not listen to a single word I say, but you can also expect fried hair. 4. Deep condition or else your dry ends will turn into split ends which will turn into no ends because they will fall off. Silcone-free conditioners are preferred. 5. Don’t use 40 vol peroxide/developer when 20 vol will work just as well. If you are bleaching virgin black hair, 40 vol a.k.a 12% will work. After that, use 30 vol a.k.a 9% or 20 vol a.k.a 6%. 6. Don’t aspire to get light, pastel, unnatural colors unless     a. you are a natural blonde or     b. you are willing to fry your dark hair to get to a blonde stage.     c. you are patient and able to space out your bleaching/bleach baths to once every 4-6 weeks. 7. Semi-permanent dyes that require no peroxide are always better than permanent dyes, but they will only work on light hair. Permanent dyes are the ones that require peroxide and will definitely damage your hair (but you should already accept this before using permanent dyes). 8. Don’t do a full on bleaching when a diluted bleach, a bleach cap, or a bleach bath will work in its stead. 9 If you have hair that isn’t bleached pale blonde, then darker colors will work better than pastel ones. Colors that work well (dark pink, orange, dark red, bright red, dark purple, regular purple, and green - you do this by putting blue on yellow hair, making it green). 10.Colors that will only work on light/neutral hair, meaning you will have to do some bleaching or toning past the ginger stage first: (turquoise, blue, blue violet, pastel colors, *gray, silver white <<–these three are frowned upon in forums if you have to kill your hair to get them. It is only acceptable to attempt silver hair if you already have light hair to begin with, because it’s not worth the damage.) 11. use the color wheel when making dye choices. If your hair is yellow, don’t put a blue color on it hoping for a blue. Of course it will turn green, just like paints when mixed together do. Instead tone it to neutralize it. If you currently have pink hair, then the next sensible color to dye it is purple (by putting blue on the pink) or orange (by putting yellow on the pink). That way your base color doesn’t fight your next color and you don’t get weird fading colors. Another example: If you have green hair, the next sensible colour is blue or yellow. Adding blue to green hair makes it blue-green, adding yellow to green hair makes it yellow green.  If you put pink on green hair, it will turn brown. Here is a new tutorial from me on using as few colors as possible to get a full rainbow, simply by applying color theory. 12. Again, when it comes to dyeing/bleaching your own hair, there will be damage, period. There are just ways to damage it a little, and ways to damage it a lot. So if you’re careful, you’ll walk away with a LITTLE damage, and you can count yourself lucky.

im the robot

Again, this is even funnier if you know what a fucking production nightmare, with a possible curse attached to it no less, this robot prop was for the Doctor Who crew…

I want to know about the cursed robot

So the robot isn’t a guy in a suit, it’s an animatronic/puppet thing, and it wasn’t built for the show. In fact, no one knows who built it, one of the producers just FOUND IT ONE DAY in a building near the studio. It had apparently been built for another production that was cancelled and then just left to gather dust. So they thought “oh cool, let’s make this dumb robot the Doctor’s new companion, it’ll look neat and weird, everyone will have a gas with it.” NOPE. Kamelion was incredibly complicated to operate, so they assigned a guy named Mike Powers to figure out the best way to go about it. Apparently he did a great job streamlining Kamelion’s operation, and then he promptly died in a boating accident (which is where the “curse” idea comes from.) He didn’t leave any notes or instructions, and the show was already behind schedule, so they had to rush Kamelion’s scenes into production with no idea how it worked. It was a gigantic pain in the ass to use, took forever to set up, and needed constant upkeep and repairs. Everyone hated working with the prop, to the point that before Kamelion’s first episode even aired, they had already decided to kill him off later in the same season. Peter Davison, who played the Fifth Doctor, had the most scenes with Kamelion, and absolutely hated it. When Kamelion dies, the Doctor is really sad, but Davison said later that it was one of the best acting jobs of his career, because in reality, he was absolutely giddy with joy at being rid of the thing.

tl,dr: In the 80′s a Mystery robot prop built by unknown hands caused chaos on the Doctor Who set.

Thanks, Ray.

honestly that real life story is more like Doctor Who than Moffat’s entire run on the show

Shots fired.

The Year 2028

Pokemon Go has rid the world of obesity. Everyone knows everyone in their neighbourhoods. Loneliness is an archaic concept. All national borders have been erased so players can search for pokemon unrestricted. There is no war. There is no suffering. The planet is finally at peace. 

That look is everything.

tag yourself as a pokemon go team

Guys this is is one of my most favorite scenes in the show
