what’s the hanky code for “i only wanna fuck if we make hella food afterwards”

attn: terror-incognita

In the flagging opinicus rampant code we have:

• celery: on left - expects brunch - on right - brunch included
• lime green: on left - dines off tricks (wants food) - on right - dinner plate (will buy dinner)

It’s not that impractical to have a celery stick on your body, just take it out of a bloody mary and stick it behind your ear.

I don’t think we’ll introduce more food-related hankies unless they’re actually sex acts but we probably need one for nyotaimori. Or maybe eating food off people should just be a subset of human furniture generally, like human ashtray etc? Or a subset of wet and messy? Actually I’ve been saying for ages that we need a flag for roman showers, that seems like a big gap. But is that even popular? Put your hand up if you would flag any of these things. I need to know.

omg love the little one’s expression, like “one day i’m gonna be so strong”. or maybe that’s just my reaction.

Today’s nails:

• Ulta3 in “Silver Pink”
• Ulta3 in “Midnight Fever”
• Ulta3 in “Silver Glitter”

I’m not brand loyal to Ulta3 at all - they’re just a pharmacy brand that sells for between $1 and $2.50. I think they’re really good quality for the price and they have a huge colour range, but some pharmacies have what seem like the same polishes (same bottle, formula feels the same) branded as NYC Color. 

I tried to do ombre/gradient nails for the first time a couple of weeks ago - it’s far from perfect but I think it looks good anyway. There’s heaps of tutorials online if you search “ombre”, such as this one, but I didn’t have a make-up sponge so I just did it roughly with brushes.

- Ulta3 in “Fire” (dark red/orange)

- Ulta3 in “English Rose” (red with gold glitter)

I totally made that blog, p.s. Here is the blurb:

“Grid-like, quilt-like, women’s art.

Exploring a relationship between organic and geometric forms.”

most specific themed tumblr I’ve ever seen. Tho extendedmetaphor is currently trying to see if ey can find an more specific than ‘grid like quilt like women’s art themed’.

Regardless, yay! go you ontrash. the pun is really good.

I love single topic blogs.  I think I follow some more even.  but all that aside, I am SUPER INTO gridlike, quiltlike women’s art and have had SOME THOUGHTS on the subject.  GO FOLLOW. 

So much good.

These are really excellent, but I was disappointed by “David Cameron pretending to be common” because I thought it was going to be “David Cameron pretending to be Common”, can someone with more photoshop skills than me get onto that please?

Several people have remarked on the irony of a “reggae hostel” that discriminates against brown people but sadly I don’t really find all that surprising.

Reggae Mansion is an upmarket hostel chain operating in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. It was recently found that their website states they will not accept guests from Malaysia, India and the Middle East, as well as those aged over 60. Additionally, their extensive facilities don’t provide wheelchair access. 

Alicia Izharuddin writes at Loyar Burok:

I was struck by the blatant ableism, racism, ageism and xenophobia displayed by the proprietors who run Reggae Mansion, Malaysia’s “newest and funkiest” chain of hostels and guesthouses. No doubt bigotry occurs at a systemic level in Malaysia, the kind of bigotry against Malaysians on Malaysian soil recalls the days of European invasion and systematic racism of untold horror where local people were excluded from entering certain public establishments. […] Reggae Mansion Hostel also stresses that it caters to an “international” clientele of backpackers, a subtle code suggested by its promotional photos to mean white backpackers.

I sent them the following email today: 

I’m an exchange student from Australia […] Since we’ve been in Malaysia, myself and my friends (there are 40 Australian exchange students this semester) have come to Reggae Mansion KL several times for dinner and drinks, sometimes with our local friends, and we’ve recommended the Reggae Guesthouse in Chinatown to our friends and family visiting. 

I was very disappointed to learn over the weekend that the Reggae chain has a policy of exclusion towards travellers from India, the Middle East and within Malaysia, as well as those aged over 60. I resent the implication that “people like me” wouldn’t want to mix with ”people like that”. Many of us young Westerners also have Asian or Middle Eastern ancestry - my group includes people of Indian, Moroccan, Chinese and Filipino backgrounds, among others - and I would hate to think we’d be welcomed for our passports but then rejected for our faces.

[…]

I feel that your exclusive policies results in an impoverished experience for your clientele. It’s fine to tell potential guests that the Reggae chain has an ambience which might not suit everyone - you serve alcohol and non-halal food and it might be a little rowdy. But your blatant discrimination on the basis of age and nationality is unacceptable. Until I hear that these policies have changed, I will be telling my friends to stay away from Reggae Mansion. I would love to hear also that your venues have become wheelchair accessible - given
your otherwise impressive list of facilities, it seems a shame that
wheelchair users are left out.

Thank you for your time. [edited to remove some identifying information]
