The Pace of Productivity - how to master your creative routine.
Got this one written on my stickynote-wall.
This iPod Shuffle is enhanced with 2 internal layers that makes it 100% waterproof even at 190 feet underwater. Bring some extra musical entertainment with you while you’re swimming laps, without bothering anybody else who is swimming. It also includes waterproof headphones so you’re ready to go.
http://www.iwantmoretoys.com/waterproof-ipod-shuffleMost of my best story / character ideas arrive when I’m listening to music. Even better ones, though, routinely arrive while I’m in the shower. (The stronger the shower, the better. Don’t even ask me about the outlining I did that time in Leukerbad while standing under the one-liter-per-second waterspout*. I outlined a whole book before leaving the pool and had to spend half an hour lying down to recover.)
But to be able to do both at once?? OMFG.
WANT.
*At the back of the webcam image, see the little round pool near the building, with the mushroom-shaped shower thingy in it? Right. See those little hook shapes around the edges of the pool? Each of those spits out a liter of hot Perrier per second. HEAVEN.
This body of work is an exploration of the extent of cultural appropriation and encourages a discussion about it. I give the appropriator and the appropriated the opportunity to defend themselves and create a dialogue between them, while maintaining a neutral stance myself. I am not attacking those who appropriate, merely educating and creating awareness. I’m also exploring appropriation myself, and discovering the carying degrees of it within this visual conversation.
I’d like to make this a long term exploration, with a lot more participants as a form of generation-wide debate. If you’d like to be photographed to add your point of view, please do not hesitate to pop me a message here or an email at sanaahamid@yahoo.com and we could work something out!

An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?
To fuck some shit up

BUT IT’S WRONG.
Linky-dink to explain why!Oh cool, learning!

why aren’t these being reblogged more often?
i rather see these than “keys in hand”Fatality
Umm so since I’m stupid could someone kindly explain each step for me like step 3 am i head butting him in the face or the chest?
I think it depends on the height of the person, but I suppose the head is a more effective target. I hope this helps :)
Step 1: Step back the moment he reaches for you.
Step 2: Duck!
Step 3: Head butt him in the chin. It’s very important that it is the chin and not the chest because it is much more uncomfortable and disorienting to have your teeth bang together especially if it cuts his tongue (which it will if it is in the way). More than likely height won’t matter. He will be leaning forward from the missed attempt at grabbing you.
Step 4: Knee him in the balls.
Step 5: When he doubles over, jab him on his back. I believe at the base of the neck just above the shoulder blades would be best. I’m not an expert, but this seems like the best place, imo.
Step 6: Don’t lose contact. Bring your other hand over and slam your hands against the sides of his heads as hard as possible. Right on the ears is the best place; it is extremely disorienting if done correctly. Then take his head and bring it down on your knee as you bring your knee up. It’s very important that you avoid the nose because if you knee his nose it will definitely break and more than likely the bones will stab his brain killing him, so aim for his mouth instead.
Step 7: Keep your knee up and bring your foot out to kick him over. Personally, I don’t like the image because it looks like she kicked him with her toes. You do not want to do that. Instead kick him with the ball or heel of your foot and put power behind it with a push.
Step 8: He is on the ground. You could probably stop here and he would get the picture, but if you really want to…Your leg is still in the air from the kick. With all your force slam the edge of your your heel on his side. It will be more effective if you lower your body first by bending at the knee of the leg your weight is on. Done right, you can break a rib or two.
reblogging again for that^

“Half the world is full of women, but it’s rare to hear a narrative that doesn’t speak of women as the people who have things done to them instead of the people who do things. More often, women are talked about as a man’s daughter. A man’s wife.”A must-read for any writer of fiction. And for anyone, y’know, existing in this world. Kameron Hurley wrote an incredible piece here.
