PLEASE reblog this. I heard nothing about this until today, when one of my friends in Mississippi said she saw protesters outside her local Planned Parenthood talking about “Something 26”. (This is Amendment 26.)
DO NOT LET THIS FLY UNDER THE RADAR. GET THE WORD OUT.

“Development charities offering professionals the chance to use skills abroad have raised similar concerns; Voluntary Service Overseas even condemned this burgeoning industry as a new form of colonialism. VSO asked what right unqualified British teenagers had to impose their desire to do good at schools in developing countries. And Norman is correct: the more you look below the...

Steampunk Dos and Don’ts?
So this ass.
“I, Clothesmonaut, self-appointed Commissar of Fashion, must bring my riding crop down hard on the well-intentioned, but wayward lads and lasses mangling the Steampunk fashion aesthetic.”
How about you fuck right off?
If you aren’t young, leggy, and thin, stay away from mini-skirts. A floor-length skirt or pants will be much more flattering. If you must show your...

Words are just words. If you get upset with someone for using a word you don’t like even if the speaker meant no disrespect then you’re an idiot, and in fact you’re the reason that racism and political correctness is so hard to understand.
Intent is everything. If offense is meant then be offended. The words aren’t the offender. Don’t tell kids off...

Hal Duncan has a short and sweet answer to the question “Does it matter that more books don’t address minorities or gender equality?” (Tl;dr: yes.)

I love This series of photos by Spare Robot on Flickr. I love the ‘practical, easy-wearing’ approach to steampunk fashion - especially for children; all of these outfits seem perfectly suitable to day-to-day wear and just as importantly tolerable for an active child to wear all day at a convention without causing major discomfort or stress (tiny suits and frilly dresses are...

Continued from the last article about costume design, today we’re going to talk about those wacky things you hide underneath clothing. Figure drawing is a pivotal tool to any artist, but being able to effectively render humans and creatures is only part of the equation….
Wait, is this GIF true?
jhameia:
Yes. It also works with water/water. The secret to the impressive non-mixing is temperature differential; in this case the water is probably very cold and the whiskey room temperature or higher - also alcohol is less dense than water, which only makes the effect more dramatic.
