History in the making. More than 20,000 South Korean women angrily urged the government to crack down on the widespread “molka” (spy cam) crimes that secretly film women at public toilet/transport/office/school - in the biggest - ever protest held by women in the nation.

in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). they’ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community. 

it’s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated. it’s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits. 

American Airlines is still transporting migrant kids for Trump’s gestapo as kids under 18 do not need ID to fly.

ICE lied, told flight attendants the kids were a soccer team. They weren’t. Now this flight attendant won’t work when the US transports children away from their parents. “I might as well have been a collaborator on their transport.” https://t.co/BM5BCIjHTY #EndFamilySeparation pic.twitter.com/QZ61DmSC5I

“We want no part of it” — @united Airlines CEO, saying his jetliner will not carry detainees separated from their family under the inhumane #Trump administration policy, in planning since September, which medical authorities have called child abuse. The statement: pic.twitter.com/OF5jn9OoDp

He worked at a detention facility for little kids taken from their parents under #Trump order. One day, he was instructed to tell terrified brothers that they could not hug each other. On that day, he quit. https://t.co/CF6w2o2Guu #EndSeparationNow #Recharge pic.twitter.com/h8bgYSwxrB

At detention facility outside Houston, US officials told immigrant kids to take “vitamins.” They told them they wouldn’t see their parents unless they took them. They weren’t vitamins. They were powerful psychiatric drugs, @reveal reports. https://t.co/9alW61Mhpg

They were tagged, like Germans tagged Jews. Americans of Japanese ancestry were dragged from homes to US internment camps in WWII. Today #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder ending family separation but setting up indefinite internment camps for immigrants. (Dorothea Lange images) pic.twitter.com/aLdUPhlumn

ICE lied to these American Airlines flight attendants, too, and pushed past a pilot who wanted to kick them off — and stop them from taking these kids 2,000+ miles away from their parents https://t.co/k49VROCK9q #KeepFamliesTogether #EndFamilySeparation pic.twitter.com/iwuAfQIRJ7

Handcuffed. Beaten. Left nude, shivering in cells. Strapped in chairs with a bags over their heads. These are immigrant kids as young as 14 captured by ICE, mistreated in one facility, @AP reports https://t.co/jO0NXOZcQg

A bakery is facing legal action because it refused to write anti-gay comments on a cake for a customer

The customer bringing the claim against Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colorado, says he was the victim of ‘religious discrimination’ because they wouldn’t adorn cakes with the words ‘God hates gays’, and draw a picture of two men holding hands with a red cross above it.

Owner Marjorie Silva called the requests of Bill Jack ‘discriminatory and hateful’ and refused to decorate the cakes, saying: ‘We never refuse service. We did feel that it was not right for us to write hateful words or pictures against human beings.’

She did, however, offer to make Mr Jack the cakes and sell him some icing so her could decorate them himself.

Mr Jack was not satisfied with this response, telling a local news station he was being ‘discriminated against by the bakery based on my creed’.

He has filed a complaint with the Department of Regulatory Agencies, which have now placed the bakery under investigation, and could refer the complaint to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission if they feel that Mr Jack was being discriminated against.

Mr Jack is the head of the Worldview Academy, an organisation that exists to help people ‘think and live in accord with a Biblical worldview’.

Saying “God Hates” is a violation of most of the New Testament. See also John 3:16-17, for starters. Numerous mentions of “God is love”.

Saying that you are without sin is a bold-faced lie; see Psalm 130 and Romans 3:20.

Passing judgement onto another person is a no-no; see Mathew 7:1-5.

Loving thy neighbor is one of the two most important commandments; Mark 12:31.

And that your ‘neighbor’ isn’t always another Christian; see Luke 10:25-37.

my wlw friend: not as cute as u babe ;)

Oh. My. God. I just found out about this movie called “In Between” which follows the lives of three strong, independent Palestinian women. And get this: one of the main characters is an ARAB LESBIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll repeat it in case you didn’t hear me scream: THERE IS A MOVIE ABOUT AN ARAB LESBIAN!!!!!!!!

And not only is this the first Arab movie I know of that focuses (and I’m gonna say it again) on ARAB LESBIANS!!!! the actress herself is gay in real life and is an awesome woman who has been know for her art and work before. Her name is Sana Jammalieh and in case you don’t know her, I strongly suggest you check her out.

Wood and Resin Jewelry, by Isadora’s Dream on Etsy

The chimera I designed for our new LEGO show. I cannot express how much of a labor of love this was. It took over 100 hours just to design, let alone build and is one of the largest and most complex sculptures I’ve done.
