If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

Brian Jones tries to distract attention from the 12-string guitar with his footsteps, 1960s

He became famous due to his unique skill in directing the melody in an unusual way, the vivid image of a kind of London dude of the 60s, as well as a sad lifestyle that was more than rock and roll... He died just a month after he was fired from The Rolling Stones, one of the most iconic bands of all time. At the same time, it was he – Brian Jones – who was its founder.

Brian Jones became one of the first musicians to join the ranks of the infamous "Club 27". He was the most controversial, scandalous and flamboyant person of his time. As his school friend recalled:

"Brian was a born rebel, that's a fact!"

According to Keith Richards:

"On stage, Brian always tried to attract all the attention to himself – he did it unceremoniously and brazenly, and he was probably cool at that! He really wanted to outshine Mick as a frontman and take the audience by storm!"

Brian picked up the guitar and harmonica early, but when it happened, he felt that it was his.

Brian hated school, although he studied very well – he had a well-developed intellect, and he was not afraid to criticize the education system, which even caused him to be expelled. He was particularly good at English and music, and hated homework. He locked himself in a room and listened to jazz with ecstasy...

Finally, in 1962, he made a 100-mile trip to London, where he was expected to meet Mick and Keith. So, in general, the birth of the Rolling Stones took place.

At first, Brian was the leader and manager of the group, but later he was hired for this position Andrew Luga Oldham. Jones' role gradually decreased, and the spotlight – as the leading songwriters – turned out to be Jagger and Richards.

By the mid-60s, The Rolling Stones were at the peak of their popularity! 

By 1969, he was nothing more to the Stones than the person who simply formed it. He was fired. He did not say anything about his plans for the future, but stated:

"I want to play my own music."

Unfortunately, he was gone in less than a month. His body was found in the pool, and it is not fully clear whether it was a pure accident or not... There was something else going on. He was only 27 years old, but in such a short life he had already managed to put together one of the most legendary bands in history and felt all the devastating consequences.

Two days after his death, the Rolling Stones honored the memory of their comrade at a concert in Hyde Park. In front of a crowd of 250,000 people, Mick Jagger, overshadowed by the tragedy, quoted a poem Percy Bysshe Shelley in memory of Brian:

"He did not die, he only overcame

The dream of life, the dream in which we are tortured

We are all ourselves among the worries..."

And while the crowd sat silently on the grassy slopes, the group released 3,500 butterflies – another gesture and greeting to Brian.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

how fucking arrogant can you be to think any eugenics program could ever weed out “fascist genetics”. even if the “dark triad” was a reliable precursor to fascist ideology and even if “dark triad traits” could be reliably linked to genotype (they aren’t and they can’t be), how fucking far to jupiter are you if you think you can remove it from a population of seven billion, let alone in some “anarchist” manner? how do you programmatically sterilize anyone in an “anarchist” manner?
