TIL that the reason lead levels in childrenās blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.
via ift.tt
Yep.Ā It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.Ā One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility.Ā
āUnknown scientistā? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.
Gas companies are still so mad at him heās āunknown scientistā, know his name
Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about āderegulation.ā
Patterson died 5 December 1995.
Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries donāt want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.
Merry CCP Day!
Happy Clair Cameron Patterson day, and fuck the oil and gas industries
The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.
how dare you say we piss on the poor
happy ten years of pissing on the poor
Happy twelve years of pissing on the poor
October canāt come soon enough
This has been in my likes since last year. It is time.
This is the 21st night of September skeleton. He only appears once a year.
Having your main anxiety response be Avoidance is crazy cause you'll think you're chillin and then one day you're like waitttt I've been paralyzed with fear this whole time. Damn
Was anybody else playing dead the whole time they were teenagers or is that just a me problem. Like I'm 20 now and I'm like Oh shit I didn't do anything. Because I'm scared
And you see. Now I'm scared because I haven't done anything. Everything in the world is so scary and I am not medicated. I've been waking up sweaty the last few days. I hold so much tension you wouldn't believe. But to everyone else I just look like I'm chillin

Really says something about the dire state of offerings for men interested in sewing their own clothes that even searching things like "interesting men's clothing patterns" brings up articles with links to four or five whole websites that primarily offer admittedly nice but practically identical patterns for making button-ups and work pants and maybe a varsity/bomber jacket if you're lucky.
(Branching out into historical costuming for everyday wear is like your one shot at variation, and even then, the ratio of men's to women's patterns on every website is frustrating to say the least.)
Patternmakers as a trans man I am begging you. Give me a little more to work with here.
Like it's also hard if you're buying your own clothes, don't get me wrong, but there are at least more retailers that offer fun and quirky clothes for guys if you do a little digging.
And some of that comes down to print choice, where you obviously have significant leeway if you're making your own clothes, too, but the erasure of men who sew by society writ large has wreaked absolute havoc on the selection of sewing tutorials and patterns aimed at men and people interested in wearing menswear. It is uniquely frustrating to be a man who wants to sew interesting things, not just wear them.
I wasn't expecting this to take off, but since so many of you seem to have resonated (or at least sympathized) with this, I thought I'd offer some links to some of the fun patterns I have been eyeing lately
Twig and Tale on Etsy have a modest selection of slightly more unique men's and unisex patterns, I'd really love to make their Pathfinder vest and Ridgeway shirt, among others
Merchant and Mills have a small selection as well, including their Billy gillet and unisex Landgate raincoat
Wardrobe by Me has mostly basics, but I do like their Ozark vest and utility jacket -- and as a very small trans guy, I appreciate that their men's patterns go down to a 2XS
Thread Theory is one of the places I absolutely have my eyes on for modern menswear -- I'd particularly like to make their Gosling short-sleeved button-up, Jutland pants, and Belvedere waistcoat
Folkwear are absolutely inching into the desperately-needed much more unique zone -- I have plans to make both their varsity jacket and vintage vests, and also have my eyes on their frontier shirts, sailor pants, shirts of Russia and Ukraine, and poet's shirt
Black Snail Patterns does historical clothing patterns ranging from 1700 to 1910; I just nabbed their Victorian/Edwardian walking trousers and lounge jacket patterns the other day
Laughing Moon Mercantile also do historical patterns, likewise I am planning on making their Victorian shirts and neckwear (which has 15 different historical neckwear suggestions included) and Victorian notched collar vest
The Tudor Tailor do 16th century clothing, which might be a bit bold even even for historybounding for most people, but they do great work, and I highly recommend their bias-cut footed hose as well as their excellent books
(Last but not least, I would be remiss not to mention Norah Waugh's The Cut of Men's Clothes, which is a book and not a pattern retailer might be best for slightly more advanced sewers, but I did make a really excellent 1600s cassock using a pattern from it that has gotten a lot of compliments as everyday wear!)
Frustrating as the men's sewing landscape is, there are still some fun things out there, and it's worth the digging! I vote we all make weird clothes and start a fashion revolution.
Cosplay and LARP patterns are worth a look, though the ratio is still very skewed. You need a good eye for what patterns are plausible though, and how to adapt them for different fabrics. That's another part of this problem - you have to be good with patterns to be able to make the stuff but how do you learn the 101 stuff if you have to jump right into pattern drafting?
i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma
this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it
AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho Iāve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol
i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me Iāve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!
so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!
the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the āmouthā to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense
i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!
then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)
one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better
Overall its a very good use of scraps if youāve accumulated a lot and donāt know what to do with them šš
So I made a frog (huge)
I literally canāt Iām losing my mind over the sheer girth of this frog.
Absolutely incredible.
11/10 and godspeed.
This post has absolutely everything I could ever want.
remembered frog (huge) existed and felt the need to dig through my likes to reblog frog (huge)
I need this in my life as a 50cm big plush
I love it.
Huge guys can be little, why donāt you get off my back about it?
Feeling funny today

another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.
ppl on here get sooo mad when someone says you should be a little bit grateful for lgbt allies like sorry but i have homophobic overbearing parents & im used to people thinking gays are freaks and āgroomersā so the concept of ācishet people who are willing to ally themselves with the lgbt liberation movementā is something i dont think ill ever take for granted. but thats just me i guess idk. yeah its praising the bare minimum but receiving the bare minimum allyship is a blessing when im used to deeply entrenched homophobia. iād rather shit talk the people who actually want me dead instead of the cishets showing up at pride to day drink with drag queens. what does ridiculing them do except ruin the vibe :|

Today, I would like to commemorate an event which has laid a very profound impact on the internet.
Ten years ago on this day (06/08/09), a forum website called SomethingAwful held a photoshop contest titled ācreate paranormal imagesā.Ā The contest would require participants to edit ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images, and then try to pass them off as authentic photos on other paranormal forums.
Two days later, on June 10th, a user by the name Victor Surge would find this thread, and become inspired.Ā He submitted the two pictures above, featuring a tall, faceless monster which would stalk children, who would then disappear.Ā He called his monster āthe Slender Manā. After this initial post, Surge and others would expand on the character and the story, creating one of the internetās most famous monsters.Ā The Slender Man proved to be popular enough to spread to other websites, with 4chan, Deviantart, and TV Tropes all having their own Slender-Mania. On June 20th of that same year, another user on the SomethingAwful forums found the Slender Man, and also wanted to contribute.Ā Noticing nobody had made any videos yet of the monster, he sat down with some of his friends and planned out a video webseries involving a former college film student discovering and unravelling the mysteries surrounding Slender Man; this would become Marble Hornets, one of the first horror-themed ARGās of the internet.
That all happened ten years ago.Ā Ten years of haunting the darkest corners of the internet, and Slender Man has built up a surprisingly dense resume, for a fictional monster.Ā Several popular webseries, a couple hit games, at least two movies, even inspiring other characters in seperate series like the Silence in Dr Who and the Enderman in Minecraft.Ā And all this within a ten-year period.
I think this just attests to how much humans can be inspired by an idea.Ā From a small handful of edited photographs, we collectively constructed a new monster which lurks in our nightmares, and now it almost seems as natural as the horror mythos he was based on.Ā For better or worse, the Slender Man seems to be here to stay. Happy Birthday, Slendy!Ā Hereās to hoping you continue to be both terrifying and terrific!
HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY SLENDERMAN
