i see a lot saying they’re going to throw out their a&f clothes BUT another way to boycott abercrombie & fitch is to donate your a&f clothes to homeless shelters. because it would be going against what a&f are trying so hard to prevent when they burn their surplus clothes
YES! I can just see him walking downtown and seeing all the hobos wearing his shirts, and he’s all
once you john frusciante you don’t go back
My friend’s strength is truly amazing during this tragic time.
Also, I am so glad my professor is moving my final back so I can attend the visitation and Funeral.
Live your life to the fullest, stop putting off your dreams, and value people in your life. You don’t know how much longer you have to make an impact.
I will wear what I want.
I will get tattoos if I want.
I will wear makeup if I want.
I will dye my hair if I want.
I will pierce whatever I want.
I will shave what I want.
I will lose weight if I want.
I will gain weight if I want.
I will have sex if I want.
Stop telling me what to do with my body because I’m a girl.
Tonight, my roommate’s father passed away unexpectedly.
I was talking to my dad on the phone when I read her text, I started crying and my dad helped me calm down.
I called her and left a message.
Then I called her boyfriend.
He seemed too cheerful to know, so I asked him if he had heard from K. Since he was working, his phone was off. I told him to check his messages and call me back later.
K called and told me what happened, and it was so hard not to cry. She was doing okay, I just reassured her that everything would be okay and that it’s okay to be sad. I had only met her dad once but he was so nice.
They were in the middle of moving. He had actually gone to get a load of stuff from the old house. He had a heart attack. She is my age, well, a whole month older. She has a 15 year old brother. My heart is broken for her family.
This is seriously one of my biggest fears. I don’t want to lose my parents. They’re older, late 50s, early 60s. I am too young for that. To see my roommate and friend go through this is hard. I hope she knows that I’m seriously here for her.
Fuck this is awful. :/
Unlocking independence — Students create robotic locker opener for classmate
Muscular dystrophy robbed Nick Torrance of his ability to walk, open his locker and do other everyday tasks many take for granted.
Starting this year, the Pinckney Community High School junior took a step toward being just like any other student.
He can open his own locker.
Two Pinckney seniors, Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka, used their robotics ingenuity and created an automatic locker opener.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Torrance slightly moves his hand over a sensor and his locker pops open. He moves his hand again, and the locker closes. Torrance, who is shy, said he likes the locker opener.
Awesome!

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack pray that runs
jesus that is good to know.
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetah’s are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetah’s are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Other’s will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll loose their cubs.
So zoo’s with breeding program’s had to figure out how to make Cheetah’s comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do?
They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
life goal: get some cheetah love
Stripped, a project exploring how the world views me as a 210-pound, size-16 woman.
I took probably 30 or 40 photographs of myself, naked, covering the bits but showing all the flab and rolls. (I didn’t do this out of some kind of body shame or anything like that - I just wanted people to focus on the shape of my body rather than going “OH DEAR LAWD GENITALS.”)
Traced them in Photoshop, which was, let me tell you, quite an experience. Many times I went “Jesus, am I really shaped like that?! Am i THAT LUMPY!?” Shaded them, again highlighting the fat, the flab, the rolls. The first eight pictures are intentionally unflattering. This is what people seem to see. This is what gets me weird looks.
The text over each image is a word or term that I’ve been called. The last one is the term my own mother uses for overweight people.
…And then in the last picture I kinda lost it and made myself a unicorn, but hey, it was fun.
Materials/Time: MacBook Pro webcam for the original photographs; Photoshop CS3 (I am SO outdated); Wacom Bamboo tablet. Probably 15-20 hours over 2 days.
I have so much respect for your right now.
