Ever wondered just how to make a sandwich from ABSOLUTE scratch? What about the depth of fabric making for a suit? This is a seriously cool series I discovered and is perfect for people who are hardcore DIY!
Louisiana is experiencing the worst flooding in the history of the state.
Over 7,000 people have been rescued and over 5,000 people are in shelters unable to return to their homes. In addition, over 1,000 drivers are stranded on Interstate 12 between Baton Rouge and Slidell, who today received supplies flown in via helicopter. AT&T service has been down throughout the Baton Rouge metro area. One of my former professors told me he’s been living in Louisiana for 44 years, and has never witnessed flooding this severe.
In Denham Springs (about 10 miles from Baton Rouge), the Amite river is currently at 46′ and rising. Flood stage for the river starts at 29′.
This is bad, really bad. Places that only flood once every 500 years are flooding. Unfortunately, these are also places where people don’t have flood insurance because they don’t live in a flood plain.
There was no warning for this, at least with hurricanes we can see them coming and have time to prepare or evacuate.
Please, if you can, donate to the victims through the Red Cross. Or, if you are interested in helping with post-flood disaster assistance, please sign up with Volunteer Louisiana.
If you live in the effected area and are in need of a shelter, This Link has a list of shelters in Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberia, Lafayette, Livingston, St. Helena, Tangipahoa, Vermillion, West Feliciana, and Washington Parishes.
If you are in need of rescue please call:
Baker: (225) 778-0300
Baton Rouge: (225) 389-5000
Central: (225) 367-1254
Livingston Parish: (225) 686-3996
St. Helena Parish: 222-4413 – press 0
Patients in need of kidney dialysis: (225) 772-1428
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BOOST THIS! I AM NOT IN THE FLOODING BUT FAMILY IS VERY VERY CLOSE. SOME ARE STILL WAITING TO BE RESCUED SO PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
y’all remember hurricane katrina? yeah the wind wasn’t the thing that did the most damage, it was the flooding.

Please don’t. I’m serious. You have intrinsic value and worth. Depression will fill your head with lies but they are just that: lies. You are loved and thought of and cared for. Please don’t end something so precious as your life.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
why on earth doesn’t this have more notes
I actually had to do this once. She lived.
if you scroll past this on your dash you are absolutely heartless.

I’ve started to realize that the indoctrination of hating men can be so subtle when growing up. when I was a kid, I always assumed that guys raped and hit their partners, never the other way around. men were the aggressive, loud ones who were always domineering and controlling (it didn’t help that I had a step dad just like that) so growing up that’s how I viewed men. I was just waiting to get abused by them, to be yelled at by them, taught to fear them and treat them like they are vile creatures who only know how to abuse women. but around high school age, my thinking started changing and that’s when I really started to oppose feminism and now I’m 22 years old trying to reverse the brainwashing that all men are evil and rapists and abusers, because it’s simply not true. evil is not gendered. and I hate that society just accepts that it’s okay to hate men just because they’re men? it’s not and it never will be.
I was pretty sheltered growing up, since I was pulled out of elementary school and homeschooled for quite a few years. My parents were good folks and taught me to judge people as individuals. It never occurred to me to judge a man’s character on anything other than his actions. The idea that men were intrinsically worse than me never crossed my mind. (My day-to-day life never gave me any inkling to think that way either. Guys were a diverse group of people, but rarely scummy. Certainly no more so than woman.)
When I went into a private high school, it was a huge culture shock. One of the first things I noticed was how horribly girls treated boys. I remember thinking, “What are you people doing? Boys are not some slab of meat for you to gnaw on and fight over! They’re people, PEOPLE, they have feelings too!” I’d seen dogs treated better than some of these boys were being treated.
My mantra became, “Men are people too!”
I started saying that in 1997 when I was 14. That’s almost 20 years ago! This form of man-hate, or at best apathy towards men’s dignity as fellow humans, has been going on for quite some time. I’m not surprised at the vileness being spewed now, because I saw it already taking root when I was a kid.
I used to actually get mad that a man COULDN’T hit back. I would see this a lot on sitcoms where women and girls are just tearing men and boys apart, and they never defend themselves. “Why doesn’t he just tell her to shut up? Why doesn’t he push her away?” I would just get SO frustrated! DX And I guess I absorbed it a bit when I got older, but deep down I just sensed something hypocritical. But it was never really talked about. It was always “Girl Power!” and “Girls Rule!”. No one ever talked about how boys felt, unless it was beneficial for the girls. Most of this was in TV shows though. I don’t really recall much in the real world— thankfully.
