Hey guys 👋🏻

I'm begging for help. I finally found a real job but I'm seriously behind on all my bills. I fucked myself really bad, and I need 500 to catch up on rent and to make sure my cats and I still have a home at the end of the month. Please I am begging someone to help me.

It doesn't even have to be a donation or whatever. I can't get approved for a loan but I am happy to pay anyone back if someone will please just help me. I know I'm just an internet stranger but I swear I'm good for the money.

Wear blanket. Conquer world.

That last one looks dope

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

This sort of clothing solution wasn’t just for the Mediterranean, or northern Africa, either. Behold the Belted Plaid:

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

I think there's an important distinction between Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man that isn't taken into consideration when they're compared and criticized.

Bohemian Rhapsody is often criticized for sugarcoating Freddie Mercury's life. The viewer is left wondering who the real Freddie Mercury is.

However, Rocket Man is praised for being a very personal and intimate look at who Elton John is.

But the difference is that Elton John is alive.

Freddie Mercury is not.

Elton can tell us what he wants us to know.

Freddie doesn't have that luxury. He has to depend on those who knew him to tell his story.

Brian and Roger want to protect Freddie, even now. They were very careful with the parts of Freddie exposed in Bohemian Rhapsody.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, especially when we have exploitative biopics like Blonde or Pam and Tommy. I do wish we had gotten more from Bohemian Rhapsody. But I can't help but wonder if anyone ever really knew Freddie.

He was so guarded with his personal life, and his true friends were few and far between. He was a persona, a character, and an enigma.

I'm not sure what Bohemian Rhapsody would have been like if he'd been alive. I'm not sure if Freddie would have ever gotten to a point in his life where he was comfortable with "telling all."

I highly doubt that Elton John told all with Rocket Man. I think he told a lot, but I'm sure there's plenty he kept to himself.

All that to say, yes, Bohemian Rhapsody is perhaps not a great look at who Freddie really was. But he's dead. He has no say in what he wants us to know. Instead, Brian and Roger are in charge, and they loved, love Freddie. Of course, they want to protect his memory.

Wouldn't you do the same?

When we lose someone, we love, we have a tendency of overlooking their flaws. We have a tendency of remembering them differently in death than in life. We want to share the very best of the person we lost.

Perhaps, Ed Sheeran said it best, "And everyone I love will know exactly who you are."
