FYI Shia LaBeouf’s “HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US” exhibit was shut down today because so many neo-nazi, white supremacist fucks went to his exhibit to harass him, a Jewish person, and use his art project to promote their hate. It created a public safety hazard for the museum and they shut down what was supposed to be a 4 year project.

I was reading one of my childhood diaries the other day and there was a whole paragraph saying how hopeful I was that my writing will help the archeologists in the far future. Then it proceeded to describe my lunch that day and how my dog was probably secretly able to talk.
ALTthere is a fucking statue of a kid who lived sometime in the 1200s, around 800 fucking years ago, because we have pieces of his homework that he doodled on while learning how to write. this is one of his drawings:
ALTwhen I was googling him (because I couldn't remember his name), I stumbled across this twitter thread about him, which includes a different doodle by an italian boy in the 1400s of knights besieging a castle:
ALTIt's at the back of one of his schoolbooks for learning Latin.
ALL WE KNOW OF THESE KIDS IS STUFF THEY DREW WHILE THEY WERE BORED AND IT'S STILL HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT.
I feel very defensive about the "goth is bougie" shit because it is historically incorrect, yes, but also and more personally, because it just erases the generations of goth kids who grew up in trailer parks and project housing or just straight up homeless, helping each other out.
I suspect this may be the topic that draws me out of my torpor about updating the actual Gothic Charm School site, but some quick asides here:
The majority of goth fashion in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s was DIY out of necessity. Even when there WERE pre-made goth clothes (Lip Service, Bogies, indie designers), most of us couldn't afford them. Even basic goth staples like fishnets and black lipstick or nail polish weren't available year-round. We waited until Halloween and cleared out the costume aisles of our local big-box retailers. A group of friends spent an evening pouring over the pages of the big fall fashion edition of Vogue that one of us bought so we could see what dark style clothing would be trickling down to the mall department stores so we could hit the clearance racks in January, or the thrift stores in March. We memorized the discount day schedule for thrift stores and bought wedding and prom dresses to hack apart and dye. We saved for shitty plastic-boned "corsets" from Frederick's of Hollywood to wear over those hacked-apart dresses.
Goth, especially in the previous decades, was about getting whatever you could afford and figuring out how to make it spooky. Plain black leggings + thrift store or clearance black slip + layers of thrift store or clearance belts were a standard "goth uniform" for femme goths. Did we look amazing? No, not even half the time. But we took whatever we could afford and made it work as well as we could.
I have problems with self-care worksheets and tips that think they know what they’re talking about with food and movement. Because they don’t actually. They really don’t. I don’t want to get into it but I see the judgements written down and get angry that these judgements are the norm.

Anonymous asked:
I thought halal only applied to food? I mention this because the hand soap at work is certified halal
nendocris answered:
Halal as a term, can refer to what is “pure” or “permissible” for a Muslim. For example, when a compund or object is Halal, it refers to it not being mixed with any impurities, so you can go ahead and apply it on your body without fearing impurity. Halal can also refer to what is allowed for a Muslim, for example, it is Halal for me to own a cat.
it means you can eat soap also
