“The Greatest Irony” by Maureen Klusza
Many De’VIA artists choose to record and share the Deaf perspective by depicting their experiences with audism. Resistance De’VIA examines the suppression of cultural values via the medical and educational systems. It serves as a visual testimony of injustices that Deaf people have faced.
This ligitimately ticks me off… So many times people who have Deaf babies/children refuse to let them sign, thinking that if they refuse that somehow people will see the Deaf child as “normal’… but all they do is keep the child from expressing themselves! But of course its “Super cute” to teach hearing children how to do little signs. Special thanks to Maureen Klusza for making this powerful piece. For more information on audism as it pertains to Deaf culture- the internet/bookstores are CHOCK full of books on the subject. Most of which are very interesting reads. ;)

always reblog.

lush valentines giveaway!

hiya. i’m lois & i’m a wee bit lush obsessed! since it’s valentines in a few weeks, i thought it’d be nice to do a wee lush giveaway! i love giving people presents & making up a personalized lush valentines day gift set sounds like fun! ^_^

this giveaway will include:

lush - a million kisses lip tint;

This year’s most fashionable and romantic lips are most definitely going to be rosy! A Million Kisses is our special Valentine’s lip tint for kissable lips that smell divinely of roses.

The main ingredient in this luxurious balm is organic rose hip oil, which not only tastes delicious but works beautifully on dry skin. - Moisturising and rehydrating your lips to make them kissably soft. For the colour we’ve chosen a seductive deep ruby red; wear it with your “come hither” eyes for instant attraction.

lush - chou chou i love you toothy tabs;

The one thing you absolutely have to have on Valentine’s day is lovely sweet-smelling breath for all the kissing you’re going to be doing. These brand new Toothy Tabs are scented and flavoured with rose, so they taste like Turkish Delight and make sure you’ve got the sweetest smooches around during this, the season of romance.

lush - magic mushroom bubble bar;

Some like to say it with flowers, but if you really want to make an impression on your beloved then you can’t do better than a bunch of mushrooms! Our Magic Mushroom is possibly the cutest bubble bar we’ve ever made, and he’s back by popular demand for another shot with Cupid’s arrow.

Magic Mushroom’s bright red top is scented with our famous Vanillary fragrance, while his white stem smells of strawberries, making a yummy strawberries and cream combo that’ll give piles of fruity bathtime bubbles.

lush - love potion massage bar;

In days of yore, a young maiden with her eyes on a likely lad would ask the village wise woman for a love potion. These days a girl needs to take a more hands-on approach, so we’ve created this modern alternative which is sure to get you plenty of amorous attention from your special someone.

Love Potion is a massage bar with a difference. As well as the soft, melty cocoa and shea butters we’ve added some cornflour to the mix, which absorbs excess oils. So when the massage is over, you’ll be left with skin that feels soft and touchable, but not greasy.

Love Potion is perfumed with our best-selling Love fragrance; a light, sexy apple scent with citrusy top notes to inspire devotion.

lush - leap frog bath ballistic.

What could be more romantic than a fizzy amphibian with big red lips? Though Miss Piggy might find him attractive to look at, his true beauty only becomes apparent when he hits the water. He’ll fragrance your bath with a sexy perfume of jasmine, sandalwood and rose that’s sure to send you toadily wild for his froggy charms.

As 2012 is a leap year and according to an ancient tradition, February 29th is when the girls get to propose! So, in honour of this event, we decided to rename our famous Frog Prince Bath Bomb and bring him out to celebrate. And, if you’re wondering whether to pop the question, he might just help you make up your mind…

lush - sweetheart soap;

As one of the most sensual soap creations to ever emerge from the Lush labs, Sweetheart is a real stunner. It looks sweet and innocent in white and pale pink, but it lathers into creamy gorgeousness.

Sweetheart’s fragrance goes straight to the heart of the matter, with a sensual blend of jasmine, mandarin and vanilla to gently inflame the passions and get things moving in the right direction.

Another thing I’m realizing while watching The Cosby Show as a 20 year old

It is really sexual. Like…barely veiled innuendos in almost every episode. Cliff and Claire had a very healthy and lively sex life.

bedbugsbiting replied to your post: Two hours wasted on TV Tropes

That site….if I read just one page I get stuck in a loop for at least an hour and a half.

SERIOUSLY! I opened up a page on The Cosby show sometime after 6 and didn’t actually get to read that page until after 8. Everytime I saw something interesting linked I’d open a new tab, start reading it, open more tabs, read those, go back, open new tabs, etc. It’s awful. I totally intended on going to sleep before 9 tonight, too. Whoops.

Two hours wasted on TV Tropes

Well..maybe not wasted.

BECOME A RADICAL FEMINIST LIKE THE REST OF US

YES

The Cosby Show is a bit inconsistent

Like…Theo goes from thinking about marrying Justine to all of a sudden being single with no mention of her. Like…what?

“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid. We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down. Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that. Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly. Some use better technology. The point is, it’s possible. So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.

Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

Amen!

So..I was supposed to be in bed trying to hop aboard the slumber train before 10pm

I really hope that as this semester progresses I am able to get the sleep that I need. It’s hard, I didn’t get home until around 8pm and I like my unwinding time. But, I can’t afford that. Future Tuesdays I’ll probably get home around 7:30pm. The readings that are due for Thursdays are fairly dense and Wednesdays I won’t really have much more reading time. I need to be in bed by 10pm most Tuesdays, plus reading for classes/doing assignments. So I need to kiss goodbye to my unwinding time. I’m totally aware of this. I think that because I had a month’s vacation it just makes it difficult to abruptly have to switch everything up (although, realistically, I should always go to bed around 10 on Tuesdays since I always have an early workday on Wednesdays regardless of school vacations).

Plus, I’m in a good mood and just so excited for the semester, so that has me a bit wound up.

So, basically every week day except for Thursday I should be in bed by 10pm. Really, Thursday I should to because I have an early workday Friday. And, since I have to wake up at 6:00am if I want to have the car for the day I really should be going to bed at 10pm every night.

I used to be able to survive for days on 5 hours of sleep. Lately I’ve been really fatigued. Ole anemia kicking up again, probably. I need to start taking my vitamins and iron pills again. And probably eating a more balanced diet.

This blog post is just word vomit. And it’s my way of not having to try to go to sleep. At least I’m incredibly self-aware, even if I do not do a damn thing about it.
