That’s basically Eloquii’s style: one ruffle too far.

If the only place to buy clothes is Walmart, then all the thrift and second hand stores are only going to have old Walmart stuff. Thrift stores get their merchandise from the people living around them.

Yeah, I saw the clip CBC posted about Marilla and the ladies sewing group discussing feminism and it pissed me off so much - “Oh gee feminsim is a cool sounding word I want my daughter to have all the opportunities in the world” - that’s simply not accurate to the time. It was such an obvious “HEY LOOK we’re talking…

First of all: scrub for exfoliation. Everywhere.

Or you could just not live by old traditions and do whatever you want?

You forgot [brag][brag][brag]

Yeah I think people are getting tripped up on the “the Movement had singled me out and intentionally excluded me, based solely upon my preference of representation” line, which was used out of context on facebook, ‘cause that definitely reads as a trans/gender identity thing instead of referencing plant senators.…

Yeah, many don’t. And a lot of these pre-christmas firings happen in November too, I’m not talking Christmas eve here.

It’s shitty to be fired before Christmas, but to be honest it’s standard practice in most industries and actually a relative kindness. The thinking goes that if you’re going to be let go, before Christmas is better so you don’t blow all your money on gifts and travel or rack up credit card debt - you know to save…

So instead of representing women of all sizes as Modcloth has been doing, we can now expect to see poorly photoshopped thighgaps on all the rail thin (only!) models, and plus size women can wear pillow cases, as per Walmart standards.

You should travel, live abroad if you can. It’s easy to feel like your way of life is the norm, or has no special *flavour* to it when it’s the only thing you know. Once you move outside of that, even breifly, you see how your own way of life is in fact one of many ways of life in the world with it’s own special…

Bluebeard is wayyyy more fucked up.

Meryl Streep basically predicted this:

I don’t mean it’s not embarrassing or unprofessional for a mistake like this to happen, especially on such a public platform. Just that “designing a magazine cover” may start out feeling like a big task with huge importance, and it can be, but working on those daily? The pit in your stomach starts to disappear after a…

Do you read images? Proofreaders proof read text. Not pictures. That is not how this business works. The art director makes the image, the creative director reviews and approves it. They’re the ones responsible for getting the artwork right. Maybe there’s a designer involved, or a freelancer. But there is no “look at…

Yeah but those five or six people aren’t scrutinizing every detail. They have other jobs to do, and they’re trusting the person that put this together in the first place. This is the kind of work I do, and only a terrible boss would go over the work his or her employees do with a fine toothed comb EVERY TIME.…

Meh, when you make magazine covers every day as part or your job it’s easy to become chill about it.

I’m a graphic designer. I’ve made mistakes before, using the wrong icons or leaving a typo in, everybody does. To the outsider with fresh eyes these mistakes seem obvious but when you’ve been deep into this project for…

The male symbol is also the symbol for the god of war, Mars. The circle is his shield and the arrow his spear.

I’m not sure about the female symbol but I think it has similar mythological roots.

When I was a kid a second grade girl at a nearby school was raped in a school bathroom. An adult man had just walked into the school during classes, entered the bathroom and waited for whoever first walked in. He didn’t have to dress up, and certainly no signage stopped him from doing what he wanted. Do these idiots…

Some people get really specific with their racism.
