Lemon Cream Body Butter | GI 365
I love anything lemon scented. It’s that lovely combo of tart and sweet, and it makes me think of home. I have dry skin that gets worse in Winter, so I love using rich creams. The thing I love about this recipe though is that it doesn’t use any waxes (which does mean it will melt if it gets hot) but it absorbs nicely into your skin. Yum!
I wonder if it repels mosquitos?
hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
Dogs should not be pooping in the house, let alone their kennel.
Rule of thumb: take the dogs age in months and add 1 - that’s how often they can hold their pee/poop. So 2 months + 1 = 3 hours. 3 months + 1 = 4 hours. Take the dog out every X hours. S/he will let you know at night if they have to pee/poop by whining. As soon as they start, take them out let them do their business and give them a treat/praise so they learn that this is the behavior you want. And, yes, you will have interrupted sleep for several months as they grow. This is what you signed up for when you got a dog. This is what you have to do to have a dog that doesn’t poop in his kennel - or the house! - because they haven’t been taught that pooping is for OUTSIDE.
Pendragon Shoes
Established in 1987, Pendragon is the designer shoemaking duo Jackie Orme Ward and Adrian Lockwood. Their vision? To create something extraordinary and unique; a quest to bring to life shoes you’d dreamt you might one day find; shoes to desire and delight… shoes to treasure.
They accept commissions from around the world and create exclusive limited edition collections, costume shoes, one off exhibition art pieces – all designed and personally hand made. Rare buttons, antique buckles, vintage and hand tooled leathers combine to create the distinct Pendragon signature. You won’t find these shoes anywhere else!
Holy shit, now you can actually get a pair of elf shoes!
(I’d rather they were not made of leather, but I thought this would be relevant to your interests.)
whoa!
Franz Xavier Winterhalter, Madame Rimsky Korsakov, 1864
I saw this portrait in the Musee’ Dorsay many years ago and was stunned by how beautiful Madame Rimsky Korsakov was. To this day, I still think she is one of the most beautiful women ever.
Gordon Parks, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark conducting the Doll Test, Harlem, New York, 1947
In the “doll test,” psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark used four plastic, diaper-clad dolls, identical except for color. They showed the dolls to black children between the ages of three and seven and asked them questions to determine racial perception and preference. Almost all of the children readily identified the race of the dolls. However, when asked which they preferred, the majority selected the white doll and attributed positive characteristics to it. The Clarks also gave the children outline drawings of a boy and girl and asked them to color the figures the same color as themselves. Many of the children with dark complexions colored the figures with a white or yellow crayon. The Clarks concluded that “prejudice, discrimination, and segregation” caused black children to develop a sense of inferiority and self-hatred. This photograph was taken by Gordon Parks for a 1947 issue of Ebony magazine. (via)
This hurts my heart.
One day as Ken Carson was driving around he began wondering how hard it would be to rename the street next to the shop he manages, That’s Entertainment, in Worcester, Mass. “I asked a friend and he said it wouldn’t be too hard.” But what to name it? “It could be Della Street from Perry Mason or Margo Lane who was the girl friend of the Shadow. But then I thought, well Lois Lane has been around since 1938 and she’s in comics.”
Ken Carson
And so Marmon Place, a private way that runs adjacent to the shop began the almost two year process of being renamed in honor of one of the world’s most famous reporters and girlfriend/wife Superman.
Today the comic shop held an unveiling ceremony for the sign. In attendance were comics fans and entrants in Lois Lane look-alike contest.
My hometown <3
