LOOK AT ALL THE EMOTIONS

I literally didnt recognize her

see i think the problem in twilight is not that kristen stewart is a bad actor

bella swan is just an awful character

^^ HERE HERE.

My friend and I have a conspiracy theory, which is that KS read the books, realised Bella has no emotions and is an utterly flat, unobtervant and dull character…and acted her perfectly canonically.

Also, yes, she looks so different here. It’s amazing.

I think that’s actually a fact. well, that and a good, healthy dose of ‘no one hates twilight as much as the cast’

hOLY MOTHER OF

Jesus, I sincerely did not recognize her.

this photoset and commentary sums up my thoughts perfectly

what movie/movies is this photoset from?

Just did a quick Google search and came up with Zathura. I really like Kristen Stewart.

Michele Caragher

Embroidered details in Game of Thrones

‘Michele Carragher is a London-based Hand Embroiderer and Illustrator who has been working in costume on film and television productions for over 15 years. She studied Fashion Design at The London College of Fashion, where the course incorporated design, pattern cutting, garment construction, embroidery, millinery and illustration. At the same time she attended a three year evening course in Saddlery at Cordwainers College learning skills in leatherwork.

After leaving college Michele worked in Textile Conservation, repairing and restoring historical textiles for private collectors and museums, specialising in hand embroidery. She then moved into a career in costume for film and television, initially working as a Costume Assistant/Maker on productions such as the BBC’s Our Mutual Friend, ITV’s David Copperfield and Mansfield Park. She soon gravitated towards the decoration and embellishment of costumes, using skills in hand embroidery and surface decoration, taking inspiration from the many historical textiles she had encountered working as a Textile Conservator.

The first production that saw her undertake the role of a Principal Costume Embroiderer was for HBO’s 2005 Emmy Costume award-winning production of Elizabeth 1. Her most recent work has been on HBO’s 2012 Costume award-winning television series Game of Thrones, working on all three seasons.

As a Costume Embroiderer Michele specialises in hand embroidery and surface embellishment, using traditional hand embroidery techniques, smocking, beading and surface decoration. She works directly onto the completed garment or starts with motifs and textures on silk crepeline/organza, which are applied to the costume and then worked into once on the actual garment. She also works on existing machine embroidery designs that are not too dense, adding some hand stitching and beading to give a more authentic, hand-finished look.

Michele finds hand embroidery has more flexibility and diversity than that of embroidery created by machine, as there is a greater variety of thread choice and colours to use. It is also possible to work more easily on garments that are already constructed. However, machine embroidery in combination with hand work can be very useful when completing many repeats by creating light outlines or a less dense machine stitch, work can then be completed by hand and again can be carried out on a finished garment.

Michele is a highly creative Costume Embroiderer, producing original designs as well as working closely to a costume designer’s brief to create their desired look.’

Five major scandals the media isn't obsessing about

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:37:06 -0400

think-progress:

Are these things more important than edits to talking points? Judge for yourself.

1. Carbon pollution reaches historic highs, threatening human existence

2. The devastating impact of sequestration on kids, cancer patients and first responders.

3. Massive cuts to food stamps for the most vulnerable.

4. 1,100 workers die in a Bangladesh factory collapse, and American retailers continue business as usual.

5. 4,150 gun deaths from gun violence since Newtown.

Click through.

I think a NSFW blog just liked my last self-loathing post because I tagged it #nude. Go me.

Graphic Lamps by Delightfull

I love these floor, table and wall lamps based on different typefaces. There are some truly beautiful lights in their alphabet and numeral set. I think I need that slab serif ‘E’.

Delightfull, who are based on Porto, will be at Clerkenwell Design Week coming up next week in London.

Thanks to @Mae84 for the awesome link.

queer & bitten: reason # 439580395 why jezebel sucks.:

warcrimenancydrew:

http://jezebel.com/mindy-kaling-only-makes-out-with-white-guys-on-the-mind-504732390

i haven’t read this article all the way through, so i’m not saying anything about it, but near the end, they quoted me as:

A poster on the tumblr Angry Asian Girls United wrote a post defending Kaling when a reader called the show whitewashed:

she’s a darkskinned woman of color with her own show. she’s the first south asian-american woman who has done this. her entire existence and success are against white supremacy. the fact that she is where she is as far as success on TV is not something white people like or something that white people in charge of TV are actively working towards ensuring (some of them are actively making sure it doesn’t happen actually). she could do better with the show, but i also don’t think it’s fair to expect her to shoulder that burden by herself, considering the exceptional position she’s in right now.

oh by the way, before posting this, they did NOT ask me at any point if they could use my words. by the way, i don’t even like jezebel. i don’t respect 99.99% of their content. i do NOT want them thinking i am cool with them or want to engage with them on this topic. they also misconstrued what i was saying (of course if they would have asked and then shown me the part of the article before publishing it, this wouldn’t be an issue, but of course that would be journalistically responsible, and who can really expect that from jezebel)?

jezebel is a website largely made for white women, and i wrote my excerpt here for a website largely made for asian women. BIG DIFFERENCE. i do not want nor need to engage with jezebel on this topic at all.

but of course now i’m “A poster on the tumblr Angry Asian Girls United.” these bitches didn’t even bother using my NAME, which is right at the end of that post they quoted from. they didn’t message us to ask permission. they didn’t send us this article. someone else had to send us this article, and that’s how we found out.

jezebel: you have presumably millions of readers. some of your writing rules might be based on some type of a journalism code. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THIS, AND YOU SHOULD FUCKING ASK BEFORE YOU TAKE SOMEONE’S WORDS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH.

i don’t even know if this violates anything legal, and i don’t give a shit because as an organization, you don’t do shit like this. i have no doubts that they’ve done this before.

FUCK YOU JEZEBEL.

disgustinghuman:

After some quick googling I found out this is from an upcoming movie called Syrup. However, the cinematography here and use of dialogue/narration reminds me of Confessions of a Call Girl which I loved.

Ooh this is a film based on a novel by Max Barry, an author I’ve been following since like middle school, when he created the game NationStates. I’m super psyched for him and hope this film is a smash success!

He is trying to explain that not getting laid (incel means involuntary celibate) is a violation of his civil rights and a grossly overlooked injustice. He is completely serious. This is his blog.

what a fucking creepy fucker

Oh my fucking GOD. What an entitled little douche.

“BEING WITHOUT A RELATIONSHIP AND SEX AGAINST YOUR WILL FOR OVER 6 MONTHS” cry me a river

what is that civil rights analogy even

Dear guys who don’t understand why women are often cagey around you:

These men walk among you and are indistinguishable from you until it’s too late.

From his About Me: “I want to share the idea that governments have to help people get partners.”

Suddenly, in a totally unrelated coincident, I have a brilliant and terrifying idea for a new dystopian fiction setting.

OH MY GOD. I cannot with Nice Guys™ like this. FUCK.

I’ll try to contain my rage with a nice numbered list of why he is SO fucking wrong. Ahem.

Women are often single too, even when they don’t want to be. Nobody is entitled to a relationship with anyone. Period.

Comparing women to restaurants is disgusting and objectifying. Stop.

Comparing the civil rights movement to you not getting laid is also disgusting. Stop that too.

You may not like being single, but that is not, in any way shape or form, oppression.

You are probably single “against your will” because you view women as restaurants that have an obligation to service you.

If we really wanted to help people who felt depressed because they were single, a big step would be teaching them that they don’t need a relationship to be validated and happy, NOT trying to match people up with tax money (honestly, I read it twice, and I still don’t know exactly what it is that you’re proposing).

You clearly have a warped view of women, the civil rights movement, and oppression and you are awful. STAHP.

As was mentioned before, things like this are a big reason women have trouble trusting men. The predators, the Nice Guys™, the creeps, the guys who feel entitled to women, they’re all out there, masquerading as decent dudes.

Should have stopped after “consider the analogy to the civil rights movement,” and, realizing he is a scumbag, shot himself into the sunset.

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack pray that runs

jesus that is good to know.

Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

Another Fun Fact: Cheetah’s are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetah’s are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Other’s will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll loose their cubs.

So zoo’s with breeding program’s had to figure out how to make Cheetah’s comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying.

So what’d they do?
They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!

The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

AJHHHHFDDGHH SO PRECIOUS
