depression symptoms that need to be brought to attention, supported and not demonized:

not showering/bathing for days or even weeks. (this has nothing to do with laziness - a main symptom of depression is being unable to be motivated)

not engaging in any social actvities

staying up and sleeping in till late

not being able to eat

neglecting self care as a whole

spending entire weeks at home, in the same pajamas, in the same bed

disregarding help/support (nothing against you. we’re just really fucking down.)

don’t shame us. we’re having a hard time managing being depressed in general.

other video game companies can fuck up but no video game company can fuck up as bad as konami. imagine being known as the company that fired their most valuable asset and cancelled one of the most anticipated horror games of all time….. think about that when other game companies fuck up. honestly think about that when YOU fuck up. at least u didn’t cancel silent hills. you can’t be all that bad

Okay non-European tumblr, I’m gonna explain to you why ‘white’ isn’t as simple here as it is in the rest of the world

- Shades of white in Europe range from ‘freshly fallen snow’ to ‘I am frequently mistaken as being from the Middle East’

- White European is a thing. When you fill out a form, under ethnicity, there are several options for white; white British, white European, white other. Because people make that distinction

- There are Europeans who don’t class their ethnicity as their skin colour, but as their nationality. I have family who don’t think of themselves as white, they just think of themselves as Italian and don’t really give much thought to their skin colour

- People here in Britain always question if darker skinned white Europeans are ‘actually white’. I get it a lot myself. My response is always ‘well I’m not anything else, so obviously I must be’

- Despite being white, a lot of Europeans from Italy, Greece, Spain etc, don’t feel white in the traditional sense. We’re not white like white British people. We’re not white like white Americans. We’re our own white. White British is one thing. White Italian is another thing. White Greek is another, etc

- Which is why we have this notion here in Europe of ‘nationality over race’. Being white isn’t as important as where you’re from

- So this really only becomes an issue if you’re an immigrant

- So being white in Europe doesn’t save you from racial discrimination, because sure, you’re technically white, but you’re not white white. Not the right white

- Here in England, Europeans with really blatantly foreign names, such as myself, find it more difficult to get job interviews, because they take one look at our name and don’t bother reading the rest of the CV. A guy I know was actually told by his boss to reduce the pile of CVs he had by ‘chucking away any with a name you can’t fucking pronounce’

- And then even when you do get an interview, half the time you walk into the joint several shades darker than everyone else and feel like you’ve walked into the ‘Swedish supermodel’ clubhouse and you just know you’re not getting hired

This is all basic stuff and it’s very much taken for granted here. Race and ethnicity are not as clear cut, so it can be very confusing for non-Europeans to wrap their heads around. Which is fine. But I implore you to stay in your lane, because when you say things like ‘no white person anywhere in the world ever knows what it’s like to face racial discrimination’, it’s really fucking offensive to all of the European immigrants who are denied jobs, harassed by the police and beaten by racists, because foreign is foreign to these people, and they don’t give a shit if you’re technically white. So when you mean white American, say white American.

GUYS I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS AMAZING THING I FOUND AT MEGACON

i’m definitely gonna sound like a salesman but i need to give this new company a signal boost. i’ve never seen anything like this on the con floor and it’s such an obvious idea once i saw it.

there’s a company called Cut/Sew and they specialize in making patterns. but their real goal is getting newbies to try using patterns! ok ok let me elaborate: the big pattern companies like Simplicity, McCall’s, etc etc. are fine, but they can be super intimidating to someone who’s never used a pattern before. like sure, patterns are basically a tutorial on how to make a garment, but where’s the tutorial on how to correctly interpret the pattern? that’s where these guys come in!

they include very clear instructions, lists for everything you’ll need, and even a QR code you can scan and input your measurements to get a custom fit for your garment!!

and sure, the big companies also include what you’ll need, but frankly it’s laid out very poorly and newbies probably won’t know to look for it on the pattern. Cut/Sew has everything laid out very clearly and very friendly for beginners (or honestly, for any skill level! I think everyone would want clear pattern instructions, not just beginners).

and look how cute the packaging is omg!!

this is the back of their card that i got at megacon, as well as the frickin adorable packaging for the seifuku pattern i bought from them. they have a bunch of patterns available for purchase and a lot of them are for hard-to-find things, like flight suits and high-waisted puff pants.

**HERE IS THEIR WEBSITE**

please give them a look-see, they are a very new company and i think there’s a very viable market for stuff like this!

#i litterally walked in my frontdoor 5 minutes ago with my new sewingmachine #what are the odds
