I’m so disgusted, the EDL are swarming all over Woolwich they need to get the fuck out of my town man.
I’m also scared, I went to school in Plumstead I have loads of muslim friends living in the area :( I hope they all stay safe. It’s terrifying.

Here you will find: cats, landscapes, food, women of all shapes and sizes, cities, steampunk, corsets, metal, Sherlock, Doctor Who, American Horror Story, feminism, politics and all types of other curiosities. Basically things I see and like with a few of my own pictures thrown in now and then.

Why don’t you actually gather all your information and evidence before you assume it’s fucking Islamic extremism. Have you got any evidence, other than wildly speculative accounts covering everything from, “they ran him over and then hacked him to bits,” to, “the beheaded him.”? No? Then just stop it! Just say you don’t know!
Really. Facts. Get your facts.
When you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
This seriously I live right near Wookwich and it’s really scary but I dont want there to be racial tension in my neighbourhood. We don’t know the facts yet even if this guy is a soldier or was wearing a HFH tshirt it doesn’t mean he was attacked because of that. :(
protip asking me 3 times what my plans today are and whining that your bored isn’t going to get me to go “OH LETS GO OUT THEN”. If you want to do something just freaking ASK.
Dragon’s Breath is a very gorgeous type of opal made into many types of jewelry.
They look like gateways to other dimensions… :O
That top left one looks like it’s plotting to take over Middle Earth

New Albany, Ohio 43054Hey Mike,I know you’ve been flooded with mail regarding your comments on sizeism, but I wanted to take a second to write you about a project I’ve been working on.As a preface: Your opinion isn’t shocking; millions share the same sentiment. You’ve used your wealth and public platform to echo what many already say. However, it’s important you know that regardless of the numbers on your tax forms, your comments don’t stop anyone from being who they are; the world is progressing in inclusive ways whether you deem it cool or not. The only thing you’ve done through your comments (about thin being beautiful and only offering XL and XXL in your stores for men) is reinforced the unoriginal concept that fat women are social failures, valueless, and undesirable. Your apology doesn’t change this.But oddly enough, that’s not all you have done. You have also created an incredible opportunity for social change.Never in our culture do we see sexy photo shoots with short, fat, unconventional models paired with not short, not fat, professional models. To put it in your words: “unpopular kids” with “cool kids”. It’s socially acceptable for same to be paired with same, but never are contrasting bodies positively mixed in the world of advertisement. The juxtaposition of uncommonly paired bodies is visually jarring, and, even though I wish it didn’t, it causes viewers to feel uncomfortable. This is largely attributed to companies like yours that perpetuate the thought that fat women are not beautiful. This is inaccurate, but if someone were to look through your infamous catalog, they wouldn’t believe me.I’ve enclosed some images for your consideration. Please let me know what you think.A note: I didn’t take these pictures to show that the male model found me attractive, or the photographer found me photogenic, or to prove that you’re an ostentatious dick. Rather, I was inspired by the opportunity to show that I am secure in my skin and to flaunt this by using the controversial platform that you created. I challenge the separation of attractive and fat, and I assert that they are compatible regardless of what you believe. Not only do I know that I’m sexy, but I also have the confidence to pose nude in ways you don’t dare. You’re are more than welcome to prove me wrong by posing shirtless with a hot fat chick; it would thrill me to see such a shoot.I’m sure you didn’t intend for this to be the outcome, but in many ways you are kind of brilliant. Not only are you a marketing genius (brand exclusivity really is a profitable move) but you also accidentally created an opportunity to challenge our current social construct. My hope is that the combination of these contrasting bodies will someday be as ubiquitous as the socially accepted ideal.Ever so sincerely,
JesP.S. If you would like to offer me a “substantial amount” to stop wearing your brand so my association won’t “cause significant damage to your image”, don’t hesitate to email me. I respect you as a business man, and my agent and I would be happy to contribute in furthering your established success.P.P.S. You should know your Large t-shirt comfortably fits a size 22. You might want to work on that.

i don’t want to be all “oh i’m so ugly and so fat and everyone hates me and i’m so untalented” because it’s like i’m fishing for compliments or something and i don’t want to do that?? but that’s just how i feel sometimes and like it’s dumb that you can’t have opinions on yourself without other people telling you to shut up like sorry this is how i feel
Amen.

Ok I’ve just accepted the fact I’m not going to be able to afford to move out in London on these wages so I’m just going to put some money away each month so I can one day afford a mortgage and carry on living at home being spoilt and spending all my money on Spoons food and ornamental cats and skulls.
