Yep, this is a real problem. From a design stand point it saves fabric and time since you don’t have to add any darts or pockets, and they go with the premise that a flat square shape should fit everyone without having to make much changes to the pattern (except to make it bigger or smaller). This whole one-size-fits-all mentality in fashion is so flawed, and actually impractical, it really annoys me how teachers let it slide in college and how the apparel industry continues to spew it year after year.
As someone who has breasts (DDD-H depending on what manufacturer I’m talking to) and loves pockets, let me wholeheartedly recommend eshakti.com. I started buying dresses from them in November and I love them. They will customize necklines, hemlines, etc., for a $9.95 flat fee, they will customize to your measurements if you don’t fit a standard size, and I’ve really enjoyed all my dresses from them. Most of their dresses come in sizes from XS to 6XL Feel free to message or send me an ask if you have specific questions!
And for the record, Bill Nye didn’t say that “gender is determined by your chromosomes”. He was talking about genes that are stored in part of our cells – chromosomes. He just explained that they contain all of the genetic information and all the instructions you need to make a person. So the first comparison was fake and was supposed to vilify the scientist guy and liberals. No such luck.
However, no doubt Bill Nye has developed his knowledge over the years and that’s how real science work!
Five seconds earlier he literally said “We used to think gender and sex were synonymous”
BILL BILL BILL BILL
That face when transphobes don’t know that science evolves
His art exhibit literally had to be taken to the UK because neo-Nazis in the US were literally turning up with guns and threatening them. Land of free speech, huh?
A New Hampshire Republican State Representative anonymously created the “Red Pill” subreddit.
Wow.
these aren’t just bullshitter dweebs in their mom’s basements trolling the internet, these are men who formulate the way we implement laws and who govern the way we live our lives.
^^^ Hello, yes, everyone needs to see this. It’s not always a bunch of nobodies trolling around on 4chan. It’s, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, bankers, law enforcement, etc. People who have pulls on society. They literally don’t see other groups besides themselves as human or equal
…holy shit like this is bad really really bad but so much clearly so if you’ve ever read the scum that floats to the top of the Red Pill. Like basically he was just outed as the creator of a neo-nazi misogynist pro-rape forum explicitly to recruit online loners and groom them like it’s EVERYTHING we’ve been saying these people do but this is like, the hive.
For the anon asking why not trust red pill guys
Fuck Conservatives
Fun fact: the Red Pill was 90% of the reason I left reddit. I think it’s important everyone understands why, without having to subject yourselves to actually looking at the subreddit.
The Red Pill is a confluence of gross misogyny, rape culture, and vile social darwinism, all tied up under the banner of it being the “truth” behind some grand lie that is PC culture; that is to say, taking the red pill to withdraw yourself from the Matrix, a metaphor nearly as dated as the ideals they espouse.
If you think I’m exaggerating, I’m not. I spent nearly two years on reddit before toxic bullshit like this drove me out. These people build an elaborate construct about treating women like property and sexualizing children because ~evolution~ programmed them to like it, and ~evolution~ can’t possibly be wrong, as though club-wielding Neanderthal brutes are something to aspire to and not something we left behind millennia ago.
They’ve created an incredibly detailed fantasy about how women are evolutionarily predisposed to react to certain behaviors of “alpha males” (another false equivalence; the theory of the alpha male comes from a since-disproved theory about wolf behavior), and how the trick to success in sex is about taking on these characteristics which, spoiler alert, explicitly encourage treating women like garbage.
I cannot overstate how incredibly toxic the Red Pill is and how disgustingly large the community became by the time I left reddit. I wish I could say I was surprised that a Republican senator founded it, but this is the kind of shit they’ve been legislating for years.
bill nye: says some positive things about gender identity and sexuality
some of yall: immediately try to dig up whatever half assed dirt you can find to make a lying callout post because you for whatever reason cannot bare the thought of anyone but lgbt people saying these things
Bill Nye, (on a childrens show that will not let him use the word Sex on PBS): Gender is decided by chromosomes. Bill Nye on his adult-ass TV show: Gender is a spectrum. Y’all: SO NOW YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND????
Like, yes? 20 fucking years. And he’s a SCIENTIST. His JOB is “When I find new information I reassert my stance on this new evidence”
Best part is he never even said gender is decided by chromosomes! The actual clip never mentions gender, and the caption was added by a random person on Twitter (likely as slander).
– apply Vaseline to your eyes, lashes, brows, and lips before bed
– never brush curly hair while it’s dry
– on that note, applying products/oil to curly hair while dry is useless
– use a t shirt to dry hair to avoid frizz
– sleep without pants. trust me.
– avoid watery body lotions like Vaseline’s lotion. only dries you out
– avoid crystalline, jagged scrubs (sugar, coffee. St. Ives, etc.). Use round/gentle ones like oatmeal
– avoid coconut oil on face. if you apply it to your hair wash your face afterwards
– don’t put lemon on your face. it might seem like it’s helping but it weakens its protective layer in the long run. if you do use it, dilute it and avoid sun for a while.
– no toothpaste on pimples either it’s a myth
– why do u have a bra on at home. take that shit off and live a little.
– apply deodorant before getting dressed so it doesn’t rub off on your clothes defeating the purpose
– reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours
– don’t text the fuckboy he don’t care about you
– wake up 30 minutes earlier to have a more relaxed morning and avoid rushing
– wash panties by themselves so you don’t get the gross dirt and germs from your other clothes mixed in. dry them in the sun to kill bacteria if possible.
– hand wash all hijabs they’ll last longer
– don’t use rose water with added fragrance. always check label
– eat at least one fruit or vegetable a day
– leave menial tasks for the end of the day. don’t drain yourself before getting to the important stuff
– before saying something mean or a nasty joke, take 5 seconds to think about it.
– apologizing first doesn’t make you weak
– being vulnerable doesn’t make you weak
– exfoliate after using foundation or powder
– clean phone screen with rubbing alcohol/sanitizer
might add more later or y’all can reblog with your own tips
This isn’t even the HALF OF IT. Hitler, like Trump, was considered to be a total joke at first, and was thought to be unable to do any of his crazy policy initiatives. Both won their elections without most of the vote. Both pivoted to a less crazy political middle to gain more support after the election.
People need to realize that there’s a difference between straight people and Straight People™
Straight person: Hey, you got a new haircut. Looks really good.
Straight Person™: No homo, but your haircut looks good on you.
In case you were confused 👌
Just like how there are white people who are gay and then there are the White Gays
White people who are gay: “I’m gay.”
White Gays: “I can’t believe I got accused of racism after calling that person a racial slur! I mean, I know what racism looks like because I’ve been discriminated for my sexuality. How is me being racist even possible? I’M GAY!”
Lmao all the angry White and Straight people in the comments, keep reblogging

This post is perfection across the board.

Christian: I believe in God and his son Jesus
