Attention anyone who needs hairstyle references

I want to introduce all of you to this amazing place called the ukhairdressers style gallery.

It’s basically a massive database full of high-quality images of different hairstyles. I mean, look at all the options in that sidebar (and part of it’s cut off):

In total they have 976 pages of hairstyles with about 17 styles each, that’s about 16592 hairstyles to look at. 

Look at all the stuff they’ve got! Long hair:

So if you need help with designing a character or you just want to practice drawing hair, this is a fantastic resource.

i don’t even like this girl that much but these receipts are literally near 6 years old like damn i get that it’s important to call out harmful behavior in the people we make famous but when your “receipt” is a single tweet that’s literally old enough to be in first grade and is a totally different version of someone who seems to now have progressive views regarding feminism/sexuality/gender, you’re grasping for something that literally doesn’t exist anymore.

Sometimes I feel like a lot of people just have the constant need of stop liking things. This comment is gross and fucked up but the fact that people dug six years in the past really tells you a lot about them

yall trying so hard to find something to hate about an openly bi biracial 20 year old girl like maybe you should take the time to consider why that is

Everything here is why I get so fucking pissed on tumblr sometimes and its desperate need to not allow people to grow and improve themselves

MY FELLOW FIBRO WARRIORS (and others who experience cognitive fog) This product is so freaking cool. I got my pack at Papersource, I bet you can find them online. I know we all make lists, but really, how often do we check those lists? Not often enough. Now your list can go on your wrist!! Hot damn.

Oh my god I need, link???????

These are the best idea ever!

oooooh

You can buy them [here]

oh my goodness, this would be great for ADHD too.

And for depression induced fugue!

Also great for people who have cognitive difficulties due to schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder.

As a person with fibro adhd and depression this is very helpful

every time my mood drops, it’s like i can hear everyone around me sigh a silent exasperated sigh of, “not again”

i promise that i am just as sick and tired of it as you are

This is the realest shit I ever read.

You know what’s a major pet peeve for me when it comes to arguments against raising the minimum wage? All the references to food service workers as “burger flippers”. Burger flippers are not a thing. You’re never going to see a restaurant post a sign that says “help wanted: hiring burger flippers.” “Burger flipper” is a term used pretty much exclusively to condescend to food service workers and downplay the real work and stress that goes into food service. It makes out like minimum wage workers are lazy people who are literally just standing at a grill, occasionally moving a spatula, all day, mindlessly, and that is their one and only responsibility, which anyone who has ever worked in food service can tell you is not what that job entails. It’s rhetoric used solely to designate them inferior. It doesn’t reflect the reality of minimum wage food service work. It’s annoying.

to put this in perspective, my job consists of:

  • prepping hundreds of pounds of vegetables alone per week, using knives, a heavy-duty meat slicer, and a vegetable chopper, any of which could easily take off a finger from a careless move
  • constantly refilling vegetables, cheeses, sauces, and non-perishables (cups, salad bowls, ecc)
  • cooking on a 200°-400° F grill for anywhere from 2-6 hours per day, often intentionally putting hot oil on it upon customer request
  • ensuring meat is not over or undercooked as to prevent food poisoning
  • quality control of every single topping on the line (freshness, consistency, overall taste and appearance), as well as making sure to regularly change gloves
  • being conscious and accommodating of any allergies or dietary restrictions
  • talking to a wide variety of customers each day, with a mandated Cheerful Smile, regardless of any events in my personal life or how they treat me
  • having to explain prices and menu options as well as toe the company line by upselling certain deals to every single person
  • and above all making sure all dishes and the entire rest of the store is clean and sanitary, as well as making it neat and orderly for customers.

every one of my coworkers does all of this every single day. every day my coworkers and i plunge our hands into scalding water to ensure dishes are properly sanitized, every day we take blades within an inch of our hands so that people have an enjoyable variety of food to eat. it is not uncommon to leave a shift at work with a second-degree burn at the very least.

what do i personally earn for this? $7.50 an hour, and that was after a 25 cent raise. this is an emotionally and physically taxing job. this job is non-stop customer service with concern for public health hanging over every move i make. what about this sounds easy? what about this sounds desirable for such a pittance? if i cared a little less about my job, hundreds of people could get sick in a single day if i served onions i dropped on the floor, or meat i undercooked, or if i sneezed and didnt take the time to wash my hands and change my gloves.

but sure. i guess i just flip burgers.

Man and these listed things are only just the start to and what responsibilities you're expected to have on a good day. Then after all this you're expected to smile and be chipper and positive while customer after customer treats you like you're not even human.

a show: *has a cool female protagonist*

me: nice

show: *introduces smirking obnoxious boy in the first 5 minutes who will be her love interest*

me: well it was good while it lasted

Lemme guess. If it was a smirking obnoxious female, it would be okay?

no it would be awesome because then it’d be a lesbian story

On the evening of July 26, Zachary Hammond pulled into the parking lot of a Hardee’s in Seneca, South Carolina. Seated next to him was a young woman who had arranged to meet someone there to sell a bag of weed. It’s unclear what Hammond knew about the transaction, but neither the 19-year-old nor his passenger had any idea that the buyer was actually an undercover police officer. Moments later, another officer fatally shot Hammond.

You know what I love about Black rights activists sharing this? It completely goes against the criticism thrown at them that they tell a “narrative” by picking and choosing what stories and cases they highlight. People are quick to try to silence black rights activists by saying that they ignore crimes against white people to push their “narrative” of police brutality against poc. But if that were true then Black rights activists would have ignored this story. It is truly the “AllLivesMatter” morons who are the true hypocrites here.

REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

My netherland dwarf rabbit Lilo turned 1 year old on August 12th! To celebrate, I crafted her a birthday hat and presented her with a tiny plastic cake.

In other news: Lilo officially hates me now.

Look at my step bun ♡♡♡

but where did the idea that blocking someone is an immature “12 year old” thing?

like if you have nothing but harmful intentions with someone when you interact with them and they can tell right away and you refuse to be the better person and don’t know how to do something as decent as not talking to someone who does not want to talk to you and they have to block you to get you to leave them alone, how are YOU the mature one?

right because its the internet and everyone owes you some sort of interaction and if they can’t handle harassment it really just means they couldn’t handle your superior intellect.

pretty much. “how dare you not allow me this platform to directly attack you don’t you know that here in america we have a thing called free speech”

remember when anita sarkessian blocked comments on her videos because she was getting outright threats but still encouraged people to discuss her videos, and people reacted like “how dare she not allow us this platform that has been consistently used to violently harass her, we are owed discourse god damn it”

Out of over 1,000 things on my Deviantart, I disabled comments on just one - which made fun of DA’s MRA’s - when it was getting spammed with rape jokes by the same people angry that I called them out on doing that very sort of thing.

That was about two or three years ago, and to this day, every few weeks I’ll get messages from some new person raving about how “cowardly” that was of me and that I “maintain an echo chamber,” people I’ve never seen or heard of before which indicates the tale of me shutting down comments on one drawing ever is a legend of notoriety still circulating the deviantart fedora channels.

These people are hopelessly, laughably insecure about having their “voices heard” even when they have 100% nothing valuable to offer.

The number of these dudes who COME TO ME to initiate a “debate” and then block me when I never agree with them is pretty staggering, too.

honestly though…. u should really be careful with the word ‘lazy’, especially when applying it to people you don’t know well….. like, disabled people exist. just because you can do everyday tasks with ease doesn’t mean everyone else can! stuff you might consider simple could be extremely difficult for others
