january is one of those months where you experience every feeling on the human spectrum and you just have to go about your day like that isn't happening

As a Scottish person living in England I feel this on a personal level, when people say shit like “well it’s not the genuine asylum seekers I’m bothered by, it’s the people who just move here to get a better job and take advantage of our welfare system” and I’m like “Mate, I literally moved 500 miles south to a different country just to get a better job and better weather, if you’re going to hate on anyone for that hate on me.” 

Then they try to back-track and say things like “Well you already speak perfect English so it’s fine” and I’m like “My grandma didn’t speak very good English when my grandparents settled in the UK from Finland, what are you trying to say?” 

And they’re like “Well I’m sure you’re grandparents had useful jobs and weren’t just sponging off the system.” like… nah, my grandma mended clothes and my grandad sold garden sheds, they weren’t exactly brain surgeons 

“But they…” just admit it, it’s not white immigrants that bother you, I doubt Americans go on marches protesting the Canadian undergrad students who overstay their visas or all the germans and scandinavians who just rocked up in the Midwest one day and decided to call it their own.

This was how I finally started to understand white privilege. 

I remember reading about a white European of some flavour who had overstayed their visa and wanted to go home but couldn’t afford the plane ticket. They tried to turn themselves in to ICE to get deported, and were straight up told “we’re not looking for people like you”

If you ever needed a reason to not wear makeup (or at LEAST cut back on it significantly) this is it.

Most of your shimmery makeups are made using Mica. Mica is often mined by young children the same way the original coal miners put kids in the tiny tunnels for coal.

These kids make pennies a day, if that, and are subject to dangerous conditions.

All for the glitter in our eyeshadows and highlighters.

most companies, even ones part of the ethical mica initiative, don’t know where their mica comes from and have no way of proving it for sure, because the bosses at these mines are known for using child labor on the side and then they tell their international clients like “yeah totally, only adults we paid fairly mined all this ;)” and then these big international companies can play dumb and be like “the mine bosses pinky promised us it’s all ethical!” when there is no way to prove it, no way of regulating it, and it’s been this specific recurring problem for years

so, here are the companies that use ONLY synthetic mica made in labs instead — this includes makeup brands as well as any company that has shimmery/glittery products:

additionally: mica that is mined can sometimes be contaminated with asbestos, while synthetic mica is made from plant cellulose. synthetic lab-made mica also has a more consistent texture and makes colors more vibrant than mined mica can.

so basically: synthetic mica is safer, purer, plant-based, a superior product, AND not mined by child slaves — the literal only downside is that it’s slightly more expensive for cheap ass companies who care more about profits than humans

That was the first game I was at the edge of my seat the whole game, the literal last shot for penalties being the decider for the game is fuckin g insane

[id: a tweet by @TPAIN that reads: “I encourage everybody to at least (in private if need be) take a shot at doing something you actually think you’d like but your friend circle has deemed it “corny” or “lame”. Liberate yourself from the constant need of approval from everybody besides yourself and go have fun”. /end id]

the feminine urge to draw the curtains, turn on the purple leds, burn a candle, and ignore all of my problems by starting season one of Euphoria.

Hey @perisnoop

That is so much fucking effort oml

it’s normal for our bodies to constantly be changing. there are so many factors to our ways of life. we can’t blame ourselves for little shifts and imperfections. weight changes, skin marks, and bloating happen. don’t let any of that convince you you should deny yourself what will keep you healthier.
