This was done by the amazing @ulsae1995! (Posted with permission) This was drawn for me way back when I bought their fanbook and I requested Max/Furiosa of course. For some reason I never saw this email and now… HAHA 2-3 MONTHS LATER while I was cleaning out my inbox lo and behold I struck gold. LOOK AT IT! It’s so perfect I could cry and I feel so stupid for not finding it and thanking you sooner! *buries self in the sand*

Anonymous asked: I'm suuuper in love with your BB8 fic, so could you write more Poe/BB8? Maybe like when they first met?
(a preface to the coat thief)
BB-8 is the prototype of a new version of astromech, and Designation: Engineer/Creator is still debating the advantages of a completely circular design in comparison to a more traditional wheeled model, when it’s passed off to a pilot for a test run.
Designation: Master-Poe Dameron is a stocky humanoid with a T-70 X-Wing starfighter painted in a signature black chrome, which hums pleasantly around BB-8 the first time it’s lifted into the droid socket. When they’re introduced, Master-Poe kneels down, perhaps to inspect it more closely because of its unorthodox appearance, or to judge its suitability for flight.
“Hey there, little guy.”
[Greetings, Master-Poe,] says BB-8 formally. Master-Poe pulls a face, which means that BB-8 is even less impressive than expected. It tries not to be disappointed, because after all it appears that its new master can speak binary, which is a pleasant surprise.
“I… do you have to call me that?” Master-Poe asks.
[Protocol dictates terminology for a droid’s owner,] says BB-8, because this should be obvious. Master-Poe just scratches his chin thoughtfully, and then presses a gentle hand to its round head.
“Yeah, alright,” Master-Poe says, “I’ll figure out something to fix that. But for the moment, let’s see how you fly.”
Anonymous asked: "women invented beer" really??
yeah, at least it’s what we think, since women were the ones who started brewing shit. the goddess of brewery and beer is, well, a goddess and not a god, which is probably because women were the ones starting it historically.
@sharkfinshuffle say stuff
FINE I’ll just do your homework for you. Trust me, it’s not just “what we think”, we have ample evidence and it’s pretty much unanimously agreed upon among brewers that women were traditionally the ones brewing and often drinking the beer. So long long story short: yes, brewing was very much a women’s craft in the majority of cultures worldwide pre-industrialisation. A couple of popular brewing textbooks state:
“Initially, brewing was carried out as home brewing by women for domestic use only. It was part of the daily housework next to cooking and baking bread.” (Handbook of Brewing, Priest and Stewart, 2006)
“Traditionally, [African] beers are made by women brewsters, as was the case medieval Europe, and they may be consumed with some ceremony.” (Brewing, Briggs, Brookes, and Stevens, 2003)
And here are some articles:

Honestly though, just google “women brewing history”.
lol wow thank you!!! i will spread this information in the world
also will use it to shut down Manly Beer Drinker of all sorts
THIS IS USEFUL! I SHALL BE TAKING THIS INTO MY LOCAL MICROBREWERY AND BEING OBNOXIOUSLY FEMINIST. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS SO MUCH!
@ppl who reblog or like my original posts: i’m winking and doing a friendly finger gun clicking sound with my mouth at you. you can’t see it bc we r in different places and not video chatting but rest assured. you r being winked at.

Jane Eyre: INTJ
Ni: Jane is a natural planner – whenever something happens to her or circumstances change, her instinctive response is to think of how to act at once (Te) and how to provide for the immediate future (Ni) (for example when Mrs Temple marries and she wants to leave Lowood, when it seems that Mr Rochester is going to marry Blanche Ingram, when she finds out that Mr Rochester is already married, or when she recovers from her wanderings). She’s very intuitive and sensitive to presentiments, dread, and she trusts her gut feeling. She’s also inclined to pursue mysteries, however, she can jump to conclusions in trying to solve something - for example when she takes the notion to her head that Grace Poole is responsible for the mysterious attacks and strange sounds at night. She doesn’t think of any other possibilities once she thinks this to be the truth. Jane is interested in the deeper truths of life, she’s curious to explore anything, be it through the means of reading, painting, observing, or talking to someone (Ni-Se). Especially observing is something she’s very good at; reading people with a great amount of intuition (shown, for example, when she’s watching the guests at Thornfield and how they interact with each, how Mr Rochester interacts with Blanche Ingram, or when she studies the characters of her new family). Jane is highly idealistic and entertains very modern ideas for her time – the equality of women to men, of poor people to rich people, and the rights of children. Like many INxxs she has a tendency to end up feeling trapped inside her own head, and she longs for more action in her life.
Te: Jane always wants to put her plans and ideas into action instantly – she doesn’t hesitate or procrastinate, but instead holds herself under a tight discipline and acts as soon as she has made a decision (for example when she decides to leave Lowood, she forces herself to come up with a way of how to find another place, and won’t allow herself to sleep before she does). She has a firm hold on her feelings and only expresses them at times of stress (how actively she holds down her feelings is shown in her first reaction to the news of Mr Rochester probably going to marry Blanche Ingram – she forces herself to draw pictures of herself and an imagined Blanche, to emphasise how unfounded her feelings are.) (Te-Fi). As she says of herself, she is very inquisitive and analytical (“She had a turn for narrative, I for analysis; she liked to inform, I to question;”) – she studies the people around her and silently judges them, avidly asking questions when she’s permitted to (Ni-Te). Jane is both stubborn and proud, refusing to do anything that doesn’t make sense to her or that would embarrass her (shown, for example, when Mr Rochester expects her to talk merely for the sake of talking, or when he tries to draw her out disguised as a gypsy). She also takes great care to only accept what she deems to have earned herself, for example when she refuses to accept 50 pounds from Mr Rochester for her journey, or when she leaves the pearl necklace at Thornfield when she flees. However, she appears more stern and judgemental on the outside than she really is on the inside (“…you are not naturally austere, any more than I am naturally vicious.”) (her function stack being judging, but her first and last function perceiving). She is very direct and doesn’t sugar-coat her words – she is bluntly honest.
Fi: Though under tight check, Jane has very intense emotions on the inside (“I was going to say, impassioned: but perhaps you would have misunderstood the word, and been displeased. I mean that human affections and sympathies have a most powerful hold on you.”). Her passionate nature is shown in her childhood experiences, when she was driven to extremes. Later on, as she says, she learns to control her feelings and to be more patient – she hides her emotions so well, that Mr Rochester thinks it necessary to go to eccentric measures to find out what she feels for him. She tends to express her emotions only under great stress, for example when Mr Rochester tricks her into believing that she has to leave Thornfield because of his impeding marriage to Blanche Ingram, when she’s pressured by Mr Rochester before fleeing from Thornfield, or during her wanderings. She has a strong sense of justice and need for independence (“I am no bird and no net ensnares me.”), which flare up whenever she feels pressured or unjustly treated. She holds fast to personal convictions in times of need, which are absolute truths to her (Ni-Fi). Though blunt and uncompromising in every-day life, Jane tends to become very soft and sensitive when people whom she loves mistreat or betray her (shown, for example, on the occasions when she sees the necessity of leaving Mr Rochester, when she finds out about his secret, or when St John holds a grudge against her for not marrying him).
Se: Usually Jane is very prudent and careful, but she can be impulsive and act without thinking. The best example is when she leaves Thornfield – she doesn’t plan methodically as it is her habit, but acts rashly and without any idea where she could go (and forgetting her belongings in the coach). She’s acting completely out of a present impulse and emotion (Se+Fi). This is also how she acted when she was locked into the red room in her childhood. She has a tendency to end up feeling restless when left much alone and not having much physical work (for example when she first lives at Thornfield before Mr Rochester’s arrival, or afterwards when she lives as school mistress). She also has a playful side, shown, for example, in her enjoyment of bantering with Mr Rochester, or her readiness to try out unknown, new things. She can keep a cool head and act quickly in a strange, new, and scary situation, for example in the night when she is woken by Mr Mason’s screams or when she hears a strange laugh and finds Mr Rochester’s bed on fire (Te+Se).

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Today we remember the more than 11 million people, Jewish and Gentile, who were slaughtered in the death camps, who succumbed to disease and the elements in concentration camps, who were sterilized to prevent the “dilution” of the “Aryan race,” who were worked to death, or nearly, in the works camps, who were imprisoned for their political or religious beliefs, who were sterilized or killed for being considered disabled, who were gassed to death in the Einsatzgruppen mobile gas chambers, who were shot into graves they had been forced the dig, and those who managed to survive all of that and were forced to remember the horrors they had seen and experienced.
May they rest in peace, may their memory be a blessing, may peace be upon them, and may we all say Never Again.

thanks to the recent casting of white actor Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson i’m gonna say this once again:
Michael Jackson was BLACK
he was proud to be black and continuously said so throughout his life
he supported black communities, attended black pride events, wrote songs/spoke out against police brutality/institutional racism, and explicitly stated to Oprah that he would not want a white actor to portray him because he was a black American
mj suffered from vitiligo as confirmed by his official autopsy report and thus underwent a gradual depigmentation of his skin
a white man playing him IS white washing
do not see this movie, do not support this movie, and let your outrage be known
Please everyone reblog this, this is really important.

CENSORED NEWS: Navajo water contamination more horrific than Flint's -
My name is Robert Seals. I have been following the Flint, Michigan water crisis story and wish to shine a light on another water contamination story that is much older and just as horrific as Flint’s.
The Navajo Black Mesa water supply has, for decades, been destroyed by Peabody Mining Company. The wells have been drained to make slurry in order to pipeline coal and the remaining water supply is contaminated with uranium which is now leaching into the Colorado river. This is the short version of the little known story that desperately needs to be told. There has been no potable water on the reservation for decades. When a city like Flint is in crisis, everyone gets agitated/involved. However, there is no one talking about the tragic situation that has been taking place on the Navajo Black Mesa and no one is being held accountable for this travesty. The spokesperson for Black Mesa is Louise Benally. She will give you the complete story.Here is a brief statement from Louise: “Our water has been impacted since the 1950’s on to today. When different minerals were discovered on the Navajo Reservation in the 1940s-1950- through to this day (now 2016), ground water has been used to extract uranium. The ground and surface waters have been used and released back into holding ponds and/or released into the surface waters. Coal Mining on Black Mesa used water to transport coal for 276 miles and continued pumping ground water for pushing Black Mesa Coal to Laughlin, Nevada. Today there are holding ponds that are not monitored at Black Mesa which seep into the run offs/into the surface waterways- headwaters.
There is a lot of contamination on our reservation, in most of the regions- New Lands- Sanders, Arizona. There is no water that is safe for people to drink. In the western agency area, there has been no safe drinking water since the 1950’s, after the uranium companies have moved on. Black Mesa water is being pumped for Peabody Coal Company’s mining operation. The contamination is currently seeping into the Colorado River”

Thank you immensely for taking the time to further investigate and expose this dire situation.
Sincerely, Robert Seals
