Because identity politics don’t work that much in the end.

Now, considering that Trump supporters cited the state of the economy their top 1 priority.

-why would you think a cuban would care more about a unknown nicaraguan than his own financial problems, that affect them and their spouse and kids? (Btw, a middle class cuban living in Miami has more in common with a random white middle class family than with an illegal immigrant who just arrived from Nicaragua)

-same goes for abortions and women’s rights. While it IS a problem, not being able to afford groceries NOW to feed your babies because of inflation, seems like a more pressing issue than the potential abortion your daughter might need in 10 years from now.

Most people don’t care enough about other people to vote AGAINST them. They vote for themselves. Number 1 priority of voters is themselves and their families wellbeing. People are not voting to make anyone’s life worse, they vote to try to make their own lives better.

I think Bernie Sanders was right when he said the Democrats left out A LOT of people with their politics and that’s why they lost.

I’m sorry. This is ✨impossible ✨

1. Your fat is not everyone else your size fat. You could have a flat butt but big hips with big waste and be size L. Or a big butt with thin legs size L. The same piece will look different. And will probably look best on only one. Same with boobs or shoulder size.

2. Height matters. If you are short, most skirts are mid. If you are tall, most skirts are mini. No matter your size.

Most clothing brands design for the majority of the peoples in the market. So, nordic clothing brands design with tall people proportions and so on.

I think it’s ok to say this brand or this piece isn’t for me. It’s ok. Not everything is for everyone. And that’s ok.

The same article of clothing in different sizes should be designed to look the same way on the wearer regardless of what size they are.

If you have a skirt that's supposed to be knee-length, but its only that long on a size tiny and starts inching up the thigh on anyone larger because you failed to account for the fact that you need more fabric to cover a bigger butt, then YOU ARE A BAD CLOTHING DESIGNER AND I HOPE YOU SEW YOUR OWN FINGERS TOGETHER

And don't come at me like "Uhm fat people deserve to wear mini-skirts too" because yeah no shit but this post isn't about that. This post is about the fact that I'm fucking tired of seeing a cute knee length skirt only to put it on myself and find its substantially shorter than it is on the model, because the model has no ass but I do, and the fabric that, on them, falls unimpeded to the backs of their knees, on me is being kept busy draping itself over the curve of my butt so that the hemline winds up sitting halfway up my thighs.

A knee length skirt should be knee length in all sizes, not knee for the skinny folk and thigh for the fat folk. An ankle length skirt should be ankle length in all sizes, not ankle length on a skinny and shin-length on a fat. A miniskirt should be a miniskirt on all sizes, not a mini on someone skinny and a goddamn belt on someone fat.

SOME of the children currently under arrest by the Venezuelan Government

Source: (x)

Victoria. 16 years old, is in her fifth year of high school. She is a member of the Orquesta Sinfónica, and attends a modeling and make-up school. She was kidnapped on July 29 and subjected to forced disappearance. She was not allowed to defend herself through her lawyers.

Lauriannys. 16 years old girl who just graduated from high school and was arrested on August 14 after being reported by an official from the Carúpano City Hall. The reason? She allegedly forwarded a message via WhatsApp after July 28. That night, a group of regime officials forcibly removed her from her home as if she were a criminal. Due to the trauma of what happened, she began to feel ill and as a result, she suffered a collapse that caused brain damage and required urgent transfer to a healthcare centre. There she was prosecuted without the right to defend herself for the crime of instigating hatred, with a sentence of 24 years in prison.

José. 14 years old teenager who was arrested on July 30 with his father when they passed by a protest at a PSUV headquarters on their way to do personal errands. They were arrested and had rocks, sticks and a bottle of petrol planted in their bags, in order to accuse them of “acts of vandalism”. The young man was brought forward and charged with terrorism and inciting hatred.

Yohendri. A fifth-year high school student and a soccer player, goalkeeper for his soccer team. In his free time he sells fried plantains with his uncle. He lives with his sick mother and his grandfather. The young man was arrested along with his cousin and a friend on August 6. At 11:00 pm, the young man went with his cousin to a neighbor's house to invite him to play with the phones. While there, regime officials arrived abruptly asking for another person. At that moment they were taken into custody. Relatives claim that the officials were looking for another person with the same name. They were victims of a mix-up; they were arrested and processed in the same way.

Edison. 15 years old, arbitrarily KIDNAPPED in Barinas on August 2, was severely beaten, causing FACIAL PARALYSIS, and was accused of Terrorism. He has already been released on bail.

Camila, 15 years old, was kidnapped by the forces of the Nicolás Maduro dictatorship in Trujillo state to force her father, Gerardo Leal, to turn himself in. Her only "crime" was accompanying María Corina Machado on motorcycle tours.

this is one of the 15 or so kids that freed a few days ago, after the complaints of thousands of people. he is 11 or 12 and he's denouncing that he was tortured by being electrocuted and beat up by a liutenant of the current regime's military. it's fucking heartbreaking to hear his voice shaking.

mind you 15 kids were let go after being UNLAWFULLY KIDNAPPED BY THE MILITARY. and there's still

OVER 117 CHILDREN KIDNAPPED

One by one, I was born in 1989

-No Marxist theory in school perse. We learned the bolchevique revolution tho.

-there was a pointless class, “educación military” it started with my year and my school hired the most mediocre man who ever lived and we learned nothing (the poor man didn’t know what to do with 30 mean teen girls so he did nothing and taught Venezuelan history, lol) I know people who were taught Chavez speeches or how to march.

-Yes, in my school we were taught about different political systems, their origins, etc. Very unbiased “this is this, and it started like this”. I think it was senior year, philosophy.

-Bolivar wasn’t god… Miranda on the other hand 😹 (my HS venezuelan history teacher didn’t like him much).

-The HS pensum makes no sense because one government before Chavez tried to revamp it and didn’t finish. So we have 2 years of Venezuelan history with the same pensum and a missing year of Universal History (according to one of my teachers).

For Venezuelans

-Were you given classes on Marxist theory? Did we talk about Marx in school at all?

-Did you have any Pointless Classes that were clearly just propaganda?

-What is a memorable time from those classes that showcases how ridiculous and useless they were?

-In school, did any teacher ever explain to you what Socialism or Communism was? What about Capitalism?

-How many of your classes talked about Bolivar as a God-like figure? Because I remember at least 3 in mine.

-Anything else that baffled you about the school curriculum in Venezuela? Something that was definitely not real but that you were taught as fact?

Hey!

I had a bit of a request. My sister told me her daughter (10 years old) really enjoys anime and manga. But she is not an anime fan so she asked me some suggestions.

I recommended Fairy Tail and Atelier Witch Hat and all and everything Ghibli.

Can you share suggestions? I mostly watch adult stuff that I don’t think are appropriate for a 10 year old (either violence, scary or sexy themes).

Thanks!

I just wanted to share this because it might help someone?

All my life I have felt that people are either my close friends or actively dislike me. No middle ground, love or hate. I have a strong personality after all and I’m not shy to voice my opinions.

I don’t post much in IG. And I hadn’t shared my pregnancy there. At all. And yesterday I posted some stories of my Baby Shower with my huge 8 months belly.

I was floored by the amount of people congratulating, saying I look so pretty. People from school, from summer camps, my ex’s sister. People who live in other continents. Who just felt like being nice to someone they haven’t spoke in years.

I felt very loved. And very liked. “These people don’t hate me, they care enough to send lovely messages”.

And I just want people to know. That I think everyone is like that. I think most people like you, most people have at least one good memory of you and feel happy to see you thrive. I don’t think there’s anyone in my school that I don’t feel happy for when I see them succeed.

Don’t be fooled by self doubt. Most people are good and like to see other people they know do good in life.

I think many people, specially lurkers like me, either fully left tumblr or downplayed their time A LOT after the porn bots flooded in. I know I did. Navigating the tags is very uncomfortable now because you’ll see 3 porn bots and then a post of the tag you want. And this coincided with Yashahime.

The whole Seshomaru - Rin debate threw off me off a lot too (people of both sides were truly vicious, my god). But I don’t know if others were affected too.
