“In 2016 Chinese officials confirmed they had lost control of the space station and it would crash to Earth in 2017 or 2018. China’s space agency has since notified the UN that it expects Tiangong-1 to come down between October 2017 and April 2018.
Since then the station’s orbit has been steadily decaying. In recent weeks it has dipped into more dense reaches of Earth’s atmosphere and started falling faster.”
The ESA predicted that fragments could fall over any spot within 43ºN and 43ºS, latitudes which encompass major Asian cities such as Beijing, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore and New Delhi.
The Middle East, the African continent, parts of Europe such as Spain and Italy as well as American cities like San Francisco, New York and Miami are also within the latitude range.
The space agency explained that it is not possible to provide more precise landing locations.
“That line has moved, it has been mocked, it has been everything in between, but I remember coming out of that scene, off that ridge of the hill, and seeing a number of the crew, some of whom didn’t even know what the movie was about, crying. When I first read that line, I was like, “What is that?” Now I realize that anybody who has loved knows what that feels like. The interesting part of casting us at such a young age was that we didn’t completely understand what we were involved in, and that’s the beauty of the movie as well.” - Jake Gyllenhaal
bitte hört auf, Leute als “Mädchen” zu beleidigen. Hört auf, Männer auszulachen, weil sie “unmännliche Dinge” tun (z.B. Cocktails trinken, stricken, die Brigitte lesen, …)
Etwas “mädchenhaftes” ist nichts dummes, schlechtes, oder albernes. Egal, wer sich so verhält.
Ganz abgesehen davon, dass es in den meisten Fällen unsinnig ist, ein Verhalten oder bestimmte Gegenstände einem einzigen Geschlecht zuzuordnen, bringen solche “Witze” nur mit sich, dass sie direkt oder indirekt Frauen verachten.
Verbannt “Der ist mädchenhafter als ich!”, “Du schlägst/ läufst / trinkst wie ein Mädchen”, etc aus eurem Vokabular.

What is BPD?
BPD is a cluster B personality
disorder, along with antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic personality
disorders. Cluster B disorders are distinguished by dramatic, highly emotional,
and/or erratic behavior. Borderlines are characterized by rocky interpersonal
relationships, extreme emotions, issues with self-image, and trouble with
impulse control. We may also experience symptoms associated with mania and/or
psychosis.
What am I going through as a person with BPD?
Intense
emotions and mood swings
Inappropriate
and/or unreasonable anger and irritability
Impulsive
and risky behavior, can include: spending excessive amounts of money, taking
too many drugs, drinking too much, promiscuity, and self-harm
Predisposition
to addiction
Difficult
and intense relationships, often full of arguments, conflict, and breakups
Higher
probability of being abused and/or raped
Sudden
intense episodes of anxiety, depression, and mania-like behavior
Feelings
of self-hatred, often resulting in suicidal thoughts and behavior
Hallucinations,
including auditory, sensory, olfactory, and visual
Delusions,
particularly an obsessive fear and belief that people are going to abandon me
Extreme
need for attention in order to feel that I am worthy of living
Unstable
self-image and lack of consistent personality/identity, often resulting in
mimicking the behavior and personalities of fictional characters and real-life
loved ones
Excessive
self-criticism
Feelings
of emptiness
Awareness
of/guilt because of destructive behaviors, but feeling unable to stop
Dissociative
states under stress, in which I feel a disconnection from my body and from
reality
Unstable
goals/aspirations
Tendency
to interpret the emotions of others as overwhelmingly negative
Paranoia
that people hate me or are annoyed by everything I do
Idolizing
people I’ve just met
Fear
that I am faking my symptoms, no matter how severe they are
Fear
that I am being manipulative or abusive
Possessiveness
of loved ones
Constant
need for reassurance
So how can you help me?
Offer
frequent unprompted reassurance that
you love me, are not annoyed by me, and are not going to leave me/stop
supporting me. If I have to ask for this reassurance, I will feel that I have
manipulated you into giving it and will be unable to believe what you say.
Respect
that I need to be given space sometimes, and comforted at other times. I need
space if I seem to be pushing you away or shutting down. Tell me that you will
be available if I need you so that I won’t feel abandoned, then leave the
situation. I need comfort if I am clinging to you or refuse to leave you alone.
Never tell me that I’m overreacting. It is not my fault that I experience extreme
emotions.
Do
not threaten punishment for impulsive behavior. This includes saying that you
will take me to the hospital if I continue. Offer to talk me through
it instead.
If
you don’t have BPD, don’t tell me that you know how I’m feeling. You don’t.
Empathy is much appreciated, but if you say you can sympathize with me, I will
begin to feel distrustful of what you say.
Never
say or imply that I don’t actually have BPD. I get enough of that shit from
myself.
Hear.
Me. Out. No matter what I have to say. You don’t have to agree, just listen.
Tell
me why I’m not a bad person. Have examples to back it up because I will likely
accuse you of empty compliments.
If
I become unreasonably angry at you, be aware that I will feel incredibly guilty
and remorseful later. When that happens, accept my apology and move on if you
are able to.
Never
tell me to “just stop” doing something destructive. I guarantee that if I could
stop, I would have already. Instead, gently ask me things like “Why do you think
you’re doing this?” + “Do you think it is helpful for you?” + “How is it
helpful? How is it not helpful?” If I am in a panic state/dissociative state
and answer with “I don’t know!”/refuse or am unable to provide an answer,
please determine if I need to be given space or comforted, and act accordingly.
When
I dissociate, I often appear zoned-out, distracted, or dead-eyed. I may be
unable to see you, hear you, or speak to you. A gentle touch on the shoulder
may or may not snap me out of it. Stay with me and make sure I don’t do
anything dangerous until I come back to reality.
Do
not judge me for my actions, and especially do not imply that I am being a bad
person. Do not try to make me feel guilty for anything, no matter what.
Instead, gently ask questions about my behavior, and try to understand the
underlying cause.
Use
lots of words with positive connotations when speaking to me.
I will try my best to provide more
advice on how to help me as I learn more about my disorder myself! Thanks for
taking the time to read this, and be aware that I’m not demanding that you do
any of these things, but rather I am asking you to do so because it will help
me be happier and healthier.
hey i’m not gonna be online as much because of school and work and such. i have trouble keeping my queue filled, but i’ll reblog something every once in a while that i’m online.
i’m more active on twitter these days. i’m @yonkoshanksu over there and even though my account is locked you can send me follow requests if you wish. i end up following back quite a few too. so yeah.
1: Never try to draw on an empty stomach. You’ll make mistakes and be uncomfortable. (But don’t stuff yourself till you’re sick either.)
2: If you have to go to the bathroom, go. A full bladder or otherwise does serious damage to the attention and patience spans. Plus it gives you time to stretch your legs.
3: Before you ink it, leave it alone. Come back later (a few hours, a day?) and check for major anatomy mistakes. Work on something else while you’re waiting.
4: Stay hydrated! The brain and fine motor skills work better when properly circulated.
5: Do not have an excessive amount of sugar before sitting down to work. You’ll get jittery and impatient. Same goes for immense amounts of caffeine.
6: If you’re stuck, take a break to stand and stretch. Walk around the room. But don’t THINK of it as a break. Just take time to really focus on your body. Loosen it up, get a goooood long stretch and some deep breaths. (but don’t pass out!) It’ll jolt the mind awake and let you really relax a moment.
7: Keep. All. Your. Old. Art. I don’t care what it is. Keep it. Date it if it’s in your computer folders. Make a suitcase filled with it. (I personally have ALL my old art in a thick work folder.)
8: Keep your sketchbooks together, used and unused. If there’s a good sale on sketchbooks, get two or three! You won’t regret it later. There’s no such thing as too many. (I currently have about ten spankin’ new sketchbooks and I know I’ll need/use every single one of them.)
9: Date your sketchbooks. Put a start and finish date on them.
10: I’m afraid I don’t practice this one: date your drawings. You’ll be happy about it later. You don’t need to SIGN every drawing, but do date them. At least date pages.
11: ART BLOCK HAPPENS. Art block is pretty much a CONSTANT state of mind for artists. You’re never out of art block totally. But sometimes you get bursts of inspiration that make it feel like you’re out. So instead of feeling like you’re ill if you suddenly have artblock, remind yourself that this happens all the time, and you get out of it eventually, every time. c:>
12: If you’re REALLY stuck on some bad art block, do what I do.
Draw a brain barf. This is where you take a blank sheet of paper, and you just LET your hand be random. Draw whatevercomes to mind, asit comes to mind. in the middle of drawing a hippo in a top hat but you think of a jolly rancher riding a unicycle? Switch immediately.
Let your brain just vomit all over the page. You’ll be surprised what comes up and what art block this can get you out of. It’s gotten me out of it various times.
13: Take advice from more experienced artists. But do NOT take everything as Gospel. Some people are just wrong.
14: HAND SHYNESS/ ART ENVY/ SELF CONSCIOUSNESS/ AND SKILL IMPATIENCE WILL EAT YOU ALIVE like a Titan.Do not let yourself get shy after looking at ‘better art’, do not let yourself think your art is worthless or your skills are worthless, and do not let yourself get frustrated that you cannot be at a higher skill level RIGHT NOW. Your brain will try to do this. All the time. Keep yourself in check. If you keep going at it, and keep working, you will get better. This is why you keep your old art. Look at it to remind you how far you’ve come.
15: Draw what you like. This is so important. (This does not apply for exploitative art. :l That’s just wrong. So long as you’re not targeting someone harmfully, I guess you’re fine.)
But don’t let people’s preferences dictate what you can and can’t draw. Draw whatever the heck you like. Accept that no matter WHAT there will be someone out there that hates it. Always. This is just a fact of life. But don’t let it get you down. I would have stopped being an artist at day one if I had.
16: You never. Stop. Learning. Ever. You will be old and grey and still be learning new things. That’s okay. That’s the nature of art. Even the ‘pros’ don’t know everything.
Anonymous; "Germany is not full" Even after the eight hundred thousand refugees? Even after the local governments bulldozing parks and building refugee camps overnight despite protests? Even after the immigrants are mostly healthy young men, who immediately start trying to change the environment they appear in? What are they running from? And why are they leaving the women and children, if they are truly refugees from wartorn countries?
“Germany is not full” Even after the eight hundred thousand refugees?
Yes, we are still not full.
Even after the local governments bulldozing parks and building refugee camps overnight despite protests?
That literally never happend.
Even after the immigrants are mostly healthy young men,
Healthy young men are still humans who can die to bullets and bombs.
who immediately start trying to change the environment they appear in?
I don’t understand what you are talking about. In which way are they trying to change this enviroment?
What are they running from?
The Syrian civil war and other conflict/war zones.
And why are they leaving the women and children, if they are truly refugees from wartorn countries?
Probably because they only have money to traffic over one person and they hope that if one of them gains refugee-status he’s allowed to bring over his family with less troubles. The journey is dangerous (thousands die every month) and the men probably think they have the best chances making it over.
is this a real ask like a real person asking a real question? cause it sounds like some joke to me.
I seriously doubt that person is even German or has ever been to Germany. There are unfortunatly a number of nazi-”fans” on this website. Most of them american.
This person doesn’t care about Germany, they just search for another place where they can live their xenophobic fantasies.
