Here, a cheater course on caring for natural fibers!
1. Wool. Treat it like it has the delicate constitution of a Victorian lady and the conviction that baths are evil of a 17th century noble. (If I get in WATER my PORES will OPEN and I will CATCH ILL AND DIE.)
2. Cotton; easygoing. Will shrink a bit if washed and dried hot.
3. Silk; people think it’s like wool and has the constitution of a fashionably dying of consumption Victorian lady, but actually it’s quite tough. Can be washed in an ordinary washer, and either tumbled dry without heat or hung to dry.
4. Linen; it doesn’t give a shit. Beat the hell out of it. Historically was laundered by dousing it in lye and beating the shit out of it with wooden paddles, which only makes it look better. The masochist of the natural fiber world. Beat the fuck out of it linen doesn’t care. Considerably stronger than cotton. Linen sheet sets can last literal decades in more or less pristine shape because of that strength.The most likely natural fiber to own a ball gag.

HELP HAYA AND FAMILY
Dear friends, this is your friend Hussam, speaking to you today with a heavy heart and deep humility. I reach out to you in this moment of desperation, as our large family faces the relentless grip of winter in Gaza, a time when the harsh realities of war weigh heavily upon us. I implore you to open your hearts and extend your hands in support. Our children, innocent and full of dreams, are in dire need of your compassion. Even the smallest contribution can make a world of difference in providing the basic necessities of life that we so desperately lack.
The image I share with you reveals our harsh reality: we are living in a makeshift tent, crafted from thin fabric curtains that do little to shield us from the biting cold and relentless winter rains. Please, let us not suffer in silence. Your kindness can bring warmth and hope to our lives during this bleak season. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow for our family and countless others in need. Thank you for considering our plea.
Your donation can make a difference: Donate Now 🙏❤️

the fact that any athlete can be subjected to "gender testing" on a whim because osmeone thinks she is too strong, too fast, just simply Too Good to be a woman is so fucking antifeminist, how can these people not see it?

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird

srry to disk horse it's been a long week but. can tumblr users have one single conversation about censorship & the "puritan" (read: evangelical) sanitization of media without mentioning fanfiction. like idk it's not necessarily wrong but it feels so trivializing. like,, sex workers are getting hit the first and the hardest as ppl try to strip them of their livelihoods & teachers in conservative areas arent allowed to say gay in front of students but this is a problem first and formost because your destiel omegaverse fic population might be affected. okay 😐

another campaign i'd like to highlight ❤
@ahmed-danii has asked me to post about his family. ahmed is a teenager who has suffered directly from the bombardment of gaza. he was born with birth defects from exposure to phosphorus. he requires a lot of medical care that is out of reach in the strip and this, coupled with the responsibility of raising funds for his family, is understandably very stressful
their campaign is only 6% funded! i know we're all going through stuff at the moment, and it's the holidays, but please don't hesitate to help

Nour's campaign is stagnating again. If you can, please consider donating. Her oldest son's health is deteriorating, her father-in-law urgently needs open-heart surgery abroad, and her youngest daughter, two-year-old Ghazal, is experiencing severe developmental delays because of all the trauma she has suffered in Gaza.
Currently: $38,005 / $90,000

yeah, it’s a serious function of colorism to associate the qualities of “softness”, “safety”, and “femininity” with people with a lighter complexion. argue with ur mom don’t argue with me.
