Saw this again so here, this is what I meant

What State you living in?

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

Ok but this is actually one of the easiest ways to tell what something is made of! I did a textiles degree and one day as part of a class we all went outside with a pile of scrap fabric and set fire to the little pieces and recorded how they burned. We were given a chart that looked something like this to tell what each fabric was (it gets a little tricky is it’s a mix of fabrics though). Why did we do this? There is very little regulation in the textiles industry so a lot of materials are mislabelled as something they aren’t and sold for more than they should be, also sometimes people buy fabric second hand or discounted which doesn’t have any label at all. If you have a fabric you are having doubts about, cut a tiny piece off and do the burn test and you should know pretty fast what you are dealing with. Anyways your fabric store should be lighting things on fire because this means that they are actually checking what the fabrics are and aren’t trying to pass cheap stuff off as more expensive than it is.

“I am a mere bystander in your frantic tug-of-war. You reach for better circumstances, but this life is trained to make you hurt. Reach harder, love. I try desperately to hold your hand through it all, but you are too far from me now, too far from me to recover together. Do it on your own, and do it wholeheartedly. I am here, watching you rise from ashes that have coated your spirit for far too long. It is time for you to come alive, even if I cannot be with you when you are whole again.”

So in these last few months I've had one person make page after page focused around me. They keep reblogging my stuff with captions that make me uncomfortable and have even posted content off of my flickr without my consent. Iwanted to be nice and give them the benefit of the doubt that they're just a fan with misguided adoration, but they just keep making me uncomfortable and violating me and it's gotten to a point where I've had to block them only for them to make another page and continue. It needs to stop, but there's not much I can do.
