I CAN’T BREATH HOLY SHIT
OH MY GOD I DONT THINK AN INTERNET VIDEO HAS MADE ME LAUGH THAT HARD IN LIKE A YEAR.
I FOUND THE VIDEO OMG FINALLY I FOUND IT OMFG I LAUGH EVERY TIME
Is anyone else legitimately concerned for this cat’s health or…
First off. I love “Sail” and secondly.. the cats legs at the very end, deer lord.
Just received a text addressed to my old name, spelled incorrectly, and from a person named Brooke, but no clue who it was. Just texted back “Sorry, this is Kevin.” and they claimed to have the wrong number now.
I dunno. Seems too coincidental that they were attempting to contact someone with my old name, at my cell phone number. Oh well. If they were truly trying to contact the “old” me, don’t know I’ve been out going by Kevin for like 6 years now, then I don’t see why I should worry about it now.
Just a weird little tidbit from my day!
Also a grown man took a poo in front of the registers at work today, and I had to clean it up since I was the only janitor on duty today who actually DOES anything. That was loads of fun! Ah, the life of a janitor in retail.
FOR SALE. $30. Custom pokemon shirt or hat!
(The included photographs are examples of previous work.)
Sorry, I can not do the same pikachu sprite as pictured, because the design is not actually from the games. I can do ANY pokemon game sprite (person/trainer or pokemon) that was actually present in the games. I would be happy to provide images of sprites, but if you know pokemon, you know that there are literally hundreds to choose from, from the old school black and white Blue and Red game sprites, to the fancy new Black and White game sprites.
I am offering to stitch any pokemon sprite onto a shirt of your size and color, for just $30 shipped. Please allow $32 for sizes over XL. Takes a couple of days to stitch.
Feel free to message me and I would be happy to work with you. I can do any of the game sprites, and can get most common colors of shirt (all basic colors of the rainbow, plus many more like navy, maroon, gray, white, black, etc), as well as most common shirt sizes in standard unisex style. I would also be happy to stitch a sprite onto a baseball/trucker cap as well!
I love stitching pokemon or sprites onto clothing or bags, because of the long-lasting color and awesomeness it provides. The color and vibrancy of the stitching lasts far longer than a printed transfer, and my personal articles have always been a great conversation starter! The above bag is mine personally, and I have gotten so many comments about having a turtwig bag! I ssitched that particular bag 4 years ago, and the colors are still as vibrant as the day I stitched it!
If you would like a sprite stitched onto another article, such as pants or a bag, I’d be happy to discuss such things on a per-case basis. A simple message is all it takes! =D
Just had a financial crisis. Don’t have any money, but what I DO have are cross stitch floss, needles, and a love for the art of stitching! Hit me up!
Even if you don’t want to buy a shirt, a reblog would mean so much! Thanks!
This puppy is FOR SALE. Just found out my bank account was overdrafted $100, and I am trying to get full time work (I currently work part time as a janitor). In the interim, I am offering some of my handmade items, as well as custom handmade items, for sale to you fine people!
Anyway, it is TROLLFACE! Who doesn’t want a trollface for their computer desk, or locker, or other space where a little bit of trolling does a soul good?
Please pass this posting around, I’d love to get this little beauty sold quick!
The stitching itself is approximately 2.5” x 3.5”. Asking $20 for it, and I’ll ship it to you!
Wow that’s amazing, I thought it was fake after seeing them draw on the paper. That alone is ingenious.
that’s the coolest thing ever.
Hahahahha pretty neat
Who says the bride is the only one who gets to be fabulous?
Me and one of my groomsmen began work on our shoes today. All of the groomsmen (and me, the groom) will be wearing these at the wedding. Started out as a plain white canvas shoes.
I enjoy making things.

When people say these books are children’s books, as if to demean them, I balk. These books dealt with themes that adults do not fully understand or wish to. It dealt with racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, prejudice, and general ignorance. These books taught us that it doesn’t matter how you were raised, but that you get to choose to be kind, loyal, brave, and true. They taught us to be strong under the pressures of this world and to hold fast to what we know to be right. These books taught me so much, they changed me as a person. So just because they’re set against a fantastical backdrop with young protagonists does not mean that their value is any less real.
This.
First book: Starts with the double murder of a pair of twenty-one year olds who were much missed and leaving their baby son a war orphan. A child growing up in abusive conditions that would give Cinderella the horrors. Dealing with peers and teachers who are bullies. The fickleness of fame (from the darling of Gryffindor to the outcast.) The idea that there are things worth fighting and dying for, spoken by the child protagonist. Three children promptly acting on that willingness to sacrifice their lives, and two of them getting injured doing so.
Second book: The equivalent of racism with the pro-pureblood attitude. Plot driven by an eleven year old girl being groomed and then used by a charming, handsome older male. The imbalance of power and resultant abuse inherent in slavery. Fraud perpetuated by stealing something very intimate.
Third book: The equivalent of ableism with a decent, kind and competant adult being considered less than human because he has an illness that adversely affects his behaviour at certain times. A justice system that is the opposite of just. Promises of removing an abused child from the abusive environment can’t always be kept. The innocent suffer while the guilty thrive.
Fouth book: More fickleness of fame. The privileged mistreating and undermining the underprivileged because they can. A master punishing a slave for his own misjudgment, and the slave blaming herself. A sports tournament which involves mortal risk being cheered by spectators. A wonderful young man being murdered simply because he was in the way. A young boy being tortured, humilated and nearly murdered.
Fifth book: PTSD in the teenage protagonist. Severe depression in the protagonist’s godfather, triggered by inherited mental health issues and being forced to stay in a house where abuse occured. A bigoted tyrant who lives to crush everyone under her heel, torturing a teenager for telling the truth in the name of the government (and trying to suck his soul out too). The discovery that your idols can have feet of clay after all. An effort to save the life of someone dear and precious actually costing that very same life. The loss of a father-figure and the resultant guilt.
Sixth book: The idea that a soul can be broken beyond repair. Drugs with the potential for date rape are shown as having achieved exactly that in at least one case, resulting in a pregnancy. Well-meaning chauvinism trying to control the love life of a young woman. Internalised prejuidce resulting in refusing the one you love, not out of lack of love but out of fear of tainting them. The mortality of those that seem powerful and larger than life.
Seventh book: Bad situations can get worse, to the point where even the privileged end up suffering and afraid. More internalised prejudice andfearhysterical terror of tainting those you love. Self-sacrifice and the loss of loved ones, EVERYWHERE. Those who are bitter are often so with a reason. The necessity of defeating your inner demons, even though it’s never as cool as it sounds. Don’t underestimate those that are enslaved. Other people’s culture isn’t always like your own. Things often come full circle (war ending with the death of a dearly-loved pair of new parents and their orphaned baby son living with his dead mother’s blood relative instead of his young godfather). Even if ‘all is well’ the world is still imperfect, because it’s full of us brilliant imperfect humans.
So… still think that Harry Potter is a kid’s series with no depth?
