my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba
Fun story my Great Great Grandma left Germany in the 1920s because she had family in the US and could get citizenship pretty easily and once she was over in the US she then smuggled over 15 jewish families out by forging family documents so now my aunts are currently in the process of trying to tell the real ones from the fake ones because my great gran just died and there are legally over 100 surviving descendants but we know that math is a lil screwy.
Sometimes a family is you, your kids, your grandkids, your great grandkids, and the 15 Jewish families you helped smuggle out of Nazi Germany.
controversial opinion but u shouldnt have to pay for stuff that would kill u if u didnt have it??? like not to be that commie bitch but everyone should have access to clean water and food and health care cause without it people literally die. like. actual human lives!
Hey to the people who don’t think they should have to pay for basic services: let me tell you some truths. You already are. But right now you’re paying for the disasters that result from lack of access to basic services. And the worst part about it? Even if you don’t believe in giving out ‘handouts’? Even from the most heartless, purely pecuniary perspective?? We’re currently spending more money putting out the social fires caused by the lack of support services than it would cost to actually provide support services. So, like, even if you want to be a disgusting, selfish, heartless dickhead, it’s still in your best interest to feed the hungry, house the homeless, and give people access to healthcare before they get sick.
hospitals pass the expense of homeless people using the emergency room on to you. do you like the police? do you hate the police? crime goes up when people have to steal to eat, and that expense is passed on to you. then you factor in plagues, riots, revolts… even if you are flat-out the most selfish motherfucker in the world, social services are still a more efficient use of your money than everything yoy have to pay for when society breaks down.
my sister-in-law, who has no kids and does not spend time around children ever, decided she wanted to take my kids on an “outing” yesterday. (she sees them like 4 times a year usually). she took them to some weird historical u.s. military fort museum thing, it’s like a big compound with like 15 buildings enclosed by a fence. anyway my 5-yr-old saw one of those red metal fire alarm boxes on the wall and asked his aunt “what does that say?”
now the correct answer to this question, in my opinion, would be “that is a fire alarm. we only touch fire alarms if there is a fire. if there is a fire, you would pull the handle and it would make a very loud noise so that other people know to get out of the building.”
according to several reliable sources, my sister-in-law’s answer to the question was, “it says ‘pull.’”
so anyway that’s how they managed to evacuate all 15 buildings at the museum and why this is probably their last “outing” for a while.
Okay. So Tumblr ate my last post so we are trying again.
The gist is that my brother is a violent drug addict and stole $1000 from my mom. 300 of those dollars were going to be given to me to assist in the purchasing of a replacement moped because last year he decided to run it into a car in a Church’s Chicken Drive Thru instead of come straight home like we had agreed. I don’t drive a car. I’m absolute trash at it. So I ride a moped and it works perfectly well for me. At least it did. Until he crashed it.
The rest of mom’s money was going to be for a little 3 day getaway for her because shit here has been hitting the fan over and over again. Seriously, there is so much up there. And she needed a break.
But now it’s gone.
You all know I knit and crochet. I’ve been stocking up a pretty good inventory in my free time and I’m here to shamelessly self-promote myself to make some money to replace what that jackass took from us.
All pre-made items will be priced as follows:
Hats: $25
Baby hats: $15
Scarves/cowls: $30
Throw blankets: $80
I also take commissions but those will be priced on a case to case basis.
I have a PayPal account so your information will be perfectly secure! And shipping is free!!
Some examples of my work are as follows but I will take a more complete set of photos during the daylight hours tomorrow. I’ll probably do it in categories.
I’ll tag them as #helpmebuyamoped if you want to view them or blacklist these posts.
I can be contacted at falettifiberarts@gmail.com if you are interested :)
i love that every pokémon is someone’s favourite pokémon. it doesn’t matter how much you dislike a pokémon or how forgettable you you think a design is, out there is someone who thinks it’s their baby. my coworker who only discovered pokémon through pokémon go absolutely loves tangela and has a small army of fully powered up ones. at an expo once i saw a woman at a booth desperately trying to find an onix plushie because it was her daughter’s absolute favourite. i talked with someone recently who announced sudowoodo as their tippy top favourite. every single one is loved by someone and idk, i think that’s gotdang heartwarming
Zacheta, Polish National Gallery Of Art, is a place which combines modernity with history. Usually, it holds exhibitions, but painter Leon Tarasewicz used it as a canvas and transformed Zacheta itself into an actual piece of art. He covered the gallery’s staircases with paint. However, the chaotic look can be misleading, because in reality Leon had a clear vision of what he wanted to portray and carefully planned everything to look that way. At first, he painted the steps with base colors (blue, red, and yellow) at the top. Those three paths merge in one intersection which then combines their colors and everything splatters down the main entrance. (Source)
