“Two other women, also breast cancer survivors, said their husbands left them after they were diagnosed. Both had to have mastectomies (in case anyone doesn’t know, this is the surgical operation to remove one or both breasts). The first woman said her husband told her that he would rather see her dead than see her lose her breasts. The second woman had her operation and waited all day to be picked up by her husband, who never arrived. By nightfall, one of the nurses offered to give her a ride, and she came home to find the house empty. Obviously, these are extreme cases of a man’s reaction to his wife’s breast cancer, but this is what I see when I see the “I ♥ Boobies” bracelets. I see love of the body parts, not the person being treated—not the patient, not the victim, not the survivor.”

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance  /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

In a post you mentioned having a couple of books you use for reference in DIY, would you mind sharing?

Yep!

Making Stuff and Doing Things is a collection of punk DIY zines for tons of things, and Fix Your Clothes comes from a very small publisher basically that publishes DIY zines, I assume for wider distribution than what a typical zine would get (they're called Microcosm Publishing, and some of their other titles include Wild Fermentation, Make A Zine, and Do-It-Yourself Screenprinting). They're fairly inexpensive, and great reference guides. I totally recommend supporting these creators, but also, a lot of this stuff can also be found for free online!

If you like physical books and references, I definitely recommend checking them out, and supporting your local indie bookstore (or local library, and then you could even copy the pages into a notebook of your own!)

I always recommend googling around though. Free distribution of information, babey!

How to make your own shirt print

So I wanted to make a Minor Threat shirt, and since I’m a teenager I’m broke so why not make my own?

Materials:

A shirt (cotton i guess)

Fabric paint (whatever color you’d like)

cardboard (to make the stencil)

newspapers/cuttingboard

cutting knife

pencil

brush

workspace

a computer

printer (optional)

tape

paper

How to make it:

Step 1: You start by choosing what logo/motif/whatever you want on your shirt. Keep in mind that the smaller details there is the harder it will be to cut out and paint! I’ve always wanted a Minor Threat shirt so I chose that logo. I found a nice one on Google and then I taped a piece of paper to my computer screen. If you want to adjust the size of the picture you can do so by holding CTRL and then scrolling. That will zoom in and zoom out the window you have opened in your browser.

Step 2: Start tracing around the lines of your motif. Be careful so you don’t push too hard, your computer screen might break!!!

DISCLAIMER! Here’s the option that you can just print the motif , but make sure it’s the right size you want!

Step 3: When you’ve traced all the lines (and make sure that you don’t miss anything) you can remove the piece of paper and put it on a newspaper/cuttingboard. Then you can start cutting it out.

Step 4: It’s now it becomes tricky. Make sure that your stencil don’t break too much or it might become unusable! Now put it on a piece of cardboard, I use cereal boxes since it’s good recycling and I have a lot of them.

Also here you want to draw all the lines onto the cardboard so you can cut it out later.

Step 5: So now you finally have your stencil done. And this is the part that’s the hardest. Painting your shirt! Put the stencil where you want it and tape it lightly to the shirt. You don’t want it stuck but you don’t want it to move either. Then pour up some paint and take out your brushes and sponges because here’s when you start painting! 

I dab on the paint to make it cover as much as possible. Be careful so you don’t get any paint underneath your stencil, I use a pencil to hold it down or just my fingers!

Fill in everything and make sure it dries completely before removing the stencil.

Step 6: Now when your paint has dried you can carefully remove the stencil.

I thought it looked a little transparent so I put on another coating of paint. I used a small brush.

I would say that a second coating with my paint made it a little bit stiff so be careful with how much coating you use.

And then it’s done!

Thank you for reading I hope you found this helpful. My shirt didn’t turn out as good as I wanted it to be but it’s good enough for me! This is my way of making shirts and I wouldn’t call it the best, but it’s kinda cheap I guess and it’s pretty fun.

I’ve also made a Black Flag shirt using this technique and that didn’t have as much details so that turned out pretty well.

Wow that’s a shitty picture but you can also see it here.

I’d love to see your work using this tutorial feel free to share it.

How to make everything yourself - online low-tech resources

Energy Bulletin pointed us to the website of Practical Action (previously known as the Schumacher Centre for Technology & Development), an online resource devoted to low-technology solutions for developing countries. The site hosts many manuals that can also be of interest for low-tech DIYers in the developed world. They cover energy, agriculture, food processing, construction and manufacturing, just to name some important categories.

We would like to add to this the impressive online library put together by software engineer Alex Weir. The 900 documents listed here (13 gigabytes in total) are not as well organised and presented as those of Practical Action, but there is a wealth of information that is not found anywhere else. The library is also hosted here (without search engine).

Other interesting online resources that offer manuals and instructions are Appropedia and Howtopedia. These are all wiki’s, so you can cooperate. The Centre for Alternative technologies has many interesting manuals, too, but the majority of those are not for free.
