I’m giving away two limited edition Kyary Pamyu Pamyu singles

Limited Edition copy of Fashion Monster

Limited Edition copy of Furisodation Kimi ni 100%

and one Limited Edition copy of her full album, Pamyu Pamyu Revolution!

All you have to do to enter is:

Reblog this post (no limit!)

Like this post

Or just tell me how much you love Kyary!

I will be willing to send international to ANYWHERE except Brazil and Italy, unfortunately I can’t send out that way as it’d be too much of a hassle in shipping and too big a risk

The giveaway ends July 12, and I’ll be throwing in a few extra Kyary-esque items such as Kreepsville 666 eyeball-bow hair ties and EYEMAZING No.503 by Kyary! I’ll also be putting a mystery bag together of comestics I have never touched by various Japanese and Korean brands.

I’ve also decided to throw in $30 worth of art commission by me, if you want it!! Please check my art tag here, this is completely optional but if you want any art (I do Dangan Ronpa, Final Fantasy, Assassin’s Creed and Monster OC’s as well as any other kind of OC but I’m willing to draw you anything as I enjoy drawing for others very much!!) then you can have me at your call whenever to draw for you!

頑張って、みんな！(*゜▽゜ノノ゛☆

I AM PISSED OFF

I AM PISSED OFF:

tyleroakley:

fishingboatproceeds:

I am pissed off because Laci Green, one of the most promising young content creators on YouTube, has been forced off the Internet by death threats—apparently driven by her casual use of the word “tranny” in a video she made more than three years ago. (She apologized and even took down the video.)

Laci makes wonderful, hilarious, sex-positive videos that have been tremendously helpful to millions of people (including me). She makes people feel less alone and less ashamed. She’s wonderful, and YouTube and tumblr are very lucky to have her, and we should all be really pissed that her ability to make stuff has been compromised by threats.

Here’s the truth, although we don’t say it often: You want to know why there are so few women in the Top 100 most viewed lists on YouTube? Because women are far more likely to be stalked, threatened, and attacked on the Internet, and they are far more likely to see those attacks move from cyber-bullying to real life threats, which too often forces them to abandon their work and their audiences.

I’ve been making videoblogs for more than five years, and I have a large audience, and a few overeager fans have found out where I live over the years, and you know what they’ve done about it? They’ve left me candy. Now, to be clear, I was still very uncomfortable and freaked out by this. But they didn’t send me death threats with pictures of my apartment building the way they’ve done to Laci.

And Laci is not alone. Most of the women I’ve known from YouTube—from those with 5,000 subscribers to those with 500,000—have dealt with harassment and stalking, and it has affected their ability to create stuff.

It’s not acceptable. It’s not acceptable to respond to a transphobic comment with a threat to kill someone. It’s not acceptable to harass and stalk women because you want their attention. And it’s not acceptable to use threats and intimidation to silence women you disagree with.

YouTube and tumblr should respond aggressively to these reports, and we need stronger laws to combat this crap, because I’m tired of seeing brilliant women driven away from the Internet by trolls with nothing to contribute.

Important, relevant, and disappointing.

Back in December 2011 during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mitt Romney decided to drop by Vietnam War veteran Bob Garon’s breakfast table for a quick photo-op. What Romney didn’t realize is that Garon was sitting with his husband, whom he had married just a few months earlier. (via)
