Character meme, with all HL minor characters: Rebecca Horne, Cory Raines, Grace Chandel, Gregor Powers, Katherine Sutherland, Danny Cimoli

Thank you! 😀 This was a fun set to work out.

Push off a cliff: Cory Raines (dude, I love you, but please, for the love of fuck, at a very large distance)
Kiss: Katherine Sutherland (mostly because I don’t think marrying her would work out well for either of us)
Marry: Rebecca Horne (she deserved so much better than she got)
Set on Fire: Danny Cimoli (I don’t remember a lot of the minor characters, but he irritated me So. Much.)
Wrap a Blanket around: Grace Chandel (I wanted to do that all through the episode)
Be Roommates with: Gregor Powers (eh. Mostly because I have no serious feelings about him one way or another, and so long as he cleans up after himself and doesn’t pester me about being sociable, I’m cool with it)

An experiment:

Reblog if, at some point in your educational life, you have gotten in trouble for reading a book that ‘wasn’t assigned to you’ or reading ahead in a book you were given in class or reading under your desk

*goes off laughing, occasionally pausing to wheeze “at some point” before losing it again*

It was damn near daily.

But I was the unreasonable one for hating school. Sure. Okay.

Still don’t want to sing your bitchass “Marching to Pretoria” song, Ms. H. Suck a mossy crocodick.

ALWAYS. CONSTANTLY.

I remember when I figured out that if I was called on to read in class once per class, I could read ahead as much as I wanted after that. So I would volunteer right at the beginning of reading time and then finish the book, and read something else under the desk.

There were two glorious years where not only did I not get in trouble, but was encouraged to read ahead and read other books. Before that… well, there was “they just memorized the book you read them” (so goes the reasoning for putting a child reading books their classmates wouldn’t read for another year or two in the lowest reading level group in kindegarten), and “you’re stupid” (couldn’t see the board, so ignored the board and read books at my desk instead). And after, “You need to stay with the rest of the class” (lots, especially in history or social studies), and “you’re not allowed to bring your own books” (high school), and “pay attention” (all the damned time).

(And then, do not even get me started on the “read this over the summer so you’re caught up with your grade level” bullshit that forced me to read things that were boring, trite, or were books I’d read years before that and considered well below my reading level, and lowered my grade when I refused to do so.)

Sex biology redefined: Genes don’t indicate binary sexes – Scope

fandomsandfeminism:

The simple scenario many of us learned in school is that two X chromosomes make someone female, and an X and a Y chromosome make someone male. These are simplistic ways of thinking about what is scientifically very complex. Anatomy, hormones, cells, and chromosomes (not to mention personal identity convictions) are actually not usually aligned with one binary classification.

-Gasp-

This post, and the science it is based on, infuriates TERFS and Conservative bigots alike. It’s magical.

berderline:

let’s talk about a ptsd thing that’s called sense of foreshortened future. i don’t see anyone ever talking about it here and i think that it’s important that people know that what they experience is nothing but another symptom of their mental illness.

So what is it?

Basically, sense of foreshortened future is a feeling or a belief that for some reason you won’t have a long and fullfilling life. You feel like you will die soon – or sooner than expected – and therefore you shouldn’t make any long-term plans. You try to avoid long-term relationships, you don’t have any career plans, reaching your birthday – hell, sometimes even managing to surivive the week surprises you.

You feel like you’ll never have a normal life because you’re not only broken beyond repair but also can’t trust anyone anymore. It is an incredibly depressing feeling that makes you feel like there’s no point in… anything, really? Every activity becomes dull and pointless and you don’t know what drags you though life at this point.

I know it won;t make the feeling go away but I want you to know that this feeling is NOT a reflection of reality. You’re not broken beyond repair and you will have a normal happy life if you work on your recovery. making plans is not pointless. You deserve to be happy and you will be happy. Don’t let PTSD and its symptoms convince you otherwise.

Burn Notice for the 6 characters thing! Except, well, there are only five mains, so I guess you get to double up on one of them? Michael, Fiona, Sam, Jesse, Madeline? Or add the Charger in as a character? ;D

Oh, it’s been a while. *hums*

For this meme.

Push off a cliff: Jesse, even if Michael would probably be unhappy. It can be a small cliff.
Kiss: Michael
Marry: Fiona, because I’m a little less likely to throw something heavy at her head than at Michael’s
Set on Fire: That Asshat Who Orchestrated Michael’s Burn Notice (whose name I have forgotten, and is not actually in the list)
Wrap a Blanket around: Madeline, ‘cause she’s been through a lot of shit
Be Roommates with: Sam, just he’s got to pay the fucking rent, and he can keep any extracurricular activities at the house/apartment/boat of his current girlfriend.

for the 6 characters: Dukat, Keiko O’Brien, Julian Bashir, Odo, Weyoun, Kira Nerys

For this meme.

Push off a cliff: Weyoun
Kiss: Keiko O’Brien (on the cheek)
Marry: Odo (because aro-ace, and it would give both of us a way to make anyone who asks shut up about relationships without having to worry about romance or sex)
Set on Fire: Dukat
Wrap a Blanket around: Kira Nerys (because she deserves the comfort of someone just willing to offer warmth and a shoulder to lean on)
Be Roommates with: Julian Bashir (just please give me good sound proofing for bedrooms, I do not want to know when he’s entertaining over night)

queeranarchism:

Whatever acceptance for non-binary identities exists in society (and it is very limited as it is) is closely tied to the idea of youth being allowed to experiment a bit as long as that experiment is temporary. So

take care of your older nonbinary folks. Take care of your nonbinary folks slipping out of ‘young adulthood’. Take care of them when their hair turns thin or grey or their age starts to show in other ways. Violence is coming their way. A lot of the world is telling them that their existence is an unacceptable form of immaturity.

Give me 6 characters and I’ll tell you who i would:

Good news! But I’m gonna need your help.

So. I’ve got a CHANCE at a full ride scholarship. This is a runway show worth 20500 dollars. That’s twenty thousand and five hundred dollars. What the fuck.

But some caveats.

I have to build a Look. This includes the outfit, the shoes, the hair and makeup for a model I’m providing. I’m being supplied the hair styling products and makeup products, but not the tools or the materials to make the outfit.

The runway show is on SUNDAY March 25 2018. The theme is ‘Elemental’, with a focus on reclaimed/recycled materials. I’m not going to link anyone to the runway show in case this is bending the rules, but HOLY SHIT GUYS.

My biggest problem right now: Costs for transportation and materials/tools.

Materials aren’t going to be massive. I’m doing a lot of reclaimed materials, so I should need no more than 100$ for that. Transportation to/from is going to be by metro or lyft though, so that’s going to be probably 40$ to/from for me and my model. If I can’t find a friend in my area willing to be a model for this, then I’m going to pay someone to do it, probably a pittance of what they’re worth but I’d LIKE to run 200$ into their pocket. Anything else is going to be in tools for the show, such as new makeup brushes (I own three, and they’re mine), hair dryer (I don’t own one, or a curling iron, or a flat iron, yeesh). And I need a NICE black shirt. I’ve got the black shoes and black slacks, but I have fuck-all for nice shirts in ‘Professional black”. I’m planning on hitting Ross. Five and below for makeup tools too. This aint gonna be a Sephora run.

I’ve got 75$ in my account. I’m FREAKING OUT.

If this wasn’t such a MASSIVE deal, I wouldn’t be asking for help. In order to hit the top of this heap, I’m going to be doing in essentially SIX DAYS pulling off what it can take a team of people two months. The proceeds of this runway show go towards local clean water initiatives, and I’ve got like four designs in mind right now. I’m narrowing them down, figuring out what would work best for my theme and Aesthetic.

So my total costs for this venture are going to be in the 400$ range, roughly. Everyone who participates in the show is going to get SOMETHING, because last year everyone did, and the year before that. My essay was SO GOOD guys, and you helped me with that too. (Thank you @hamelin-born your help was SO AMAZING.)

I’m not gonna be able to pull this off without help. If anyone would be willing to donate to this venture, my paypal is:

paypal.me/theotherguysride

And I’m willing to take bank-to-bank donations as well, through Wells Fargo. Just drop me a line for my email ID.

Anyone willing to signal boost would be a massive help too. THANK YOU EVERYONE.

I’m so excited and nervous. I’ve never done a project on this scale before, but I know I can do it. I’ve got the ideas, the gumption, and the time. Thank you for helping build my future.

Rebloging again. THANK YOU SO MUCH for boosting everyone!

Round three reblogs! Thank you again everyone who has donated and who has boosted this. It’s so amazing that y’all want to help!

I will be taking progress photos and posting them after the show is done. I’m having so much fun designing this thing, and will be able to start construction on Friday, maybe Thursday evening if the snow starts to melt by then.

*hugs everyone* THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I wasn’t going to post this yet, but I got hit pretty hard by emotional
family bullshit drama last night, and whenever that happens, I tend to
want to give people shiny things because it helps to be able to make
other people’s days better. It’s a nice alternative to stabbing the
deserving.

So…shiny!
