When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
In 180 Seconds You Will Be Voting For Bernie Sanders
We need to give this man the media attention he deserves because he does not have the funds that the other potential candidates have.
I’m over it with elected officials being backed by big money and using our votes to get the top 1% more money. Bernie has said NO to a SuperPAC and to billionaire funding, so we need to throw our votes behind him and show THE ENTIRE WORLD, including our own corporations and financial institutions that AMERICA IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!
Here’s a link to volunteer for the campaign.

DID HE SAY PUBLIC COLLEGE AND TUITION FREE
Yes, yes he did.
We can’t stress enough the importance of circulating Bernie Sanders’ message through social media. Everyone with money doesn’t want his message to get out. The mainstream media doesn’t want his message to get out, the political establishment doesn’t want his message to get out. It only gets out if we make it get out.
I made it 20 seconds before reblogging.
Hey, guys. So, if you haven’t realized, I don’t really use this blog anymore. I’m not really in the SPN fandom anymore, more into the other fandoms, so I’m more on my other blog. So, I’m giving away the URL for this blog. capcas. There are also some other URLs I have saved, and I’ll be giving those away too! It’s first come first serve, so just message me for the URL.
The other URLs are aqauriusdeanw, bucketkarkat, and gentlemanlycool

This is such a stupid joke but damnit it made me laugh
Dis me
I work in airport security, and we use walk-through metal detectors. Last summer there was this big huge metal music fest in town, and in the days that followed there were loads of metalheads passing through my terminal.
Now our metal detectors sometimes go beep even though they don’t detect any metal, because random searches are a thing (and at least here they really ARE random). So this group of metalheads are passing through, and the detector beeps at one of them and tells me it’s a random selection.
So I search the guy, and one of his fellow metalheads ask what the detector beeped at him for. And I usually don’t think of fun things to say until five hours later, but this time -
“He’s more metal than you.”

I know a ton of you have been waiting for this one. Teaching you to make your own plastic keychains!
To start off, I think the biggest question everyone has is what I use to make them. I work with shrink film. You might be familiar with Shinky Dink brand shrink film as a kid. I use Grafix brand white inkjet shrink film. The inkjet kind is relatively pricey compared to the regular kind. If you’re using regular, I don’t recommend you stick it in your printer. Sharpie markers would be good for that.
Alright, now open up the file with the images that you’re working with. Make sure your images are a lot bigger than you want your finished product to be since they shrink significantly.
You’ll also want to lighten the opacity to about half. I go somewhere between 50-60%.
Now print your image out! I’ve found that it works best for me when I have it at the plain paper setting, and standard print quality.
Holepunch with a ¼" holepuncher BEFORE you shrink them. It’s so much more work to have to punch holes when your plastic is thick!
Cut out your design, leaving the amount of border you want.
Set them on a tray for convenience. An aluminum foil sheet works too, but I recommend cookie trays because they are easier and quicker to get out of the oven.
Preset heat. Your shrink film package will tell you what temperature to set it at, but I find that it isn’t always accurate for me. I generally set temperature to 350 degrees or so.
Put them in the oven. Remember to keep track of time! I leave them in for about a minute and a half.
After time is up they should be super small! Magic!
If your charms are not flat, put something heavy on it right out of the oven when they are still hot and malleable.
If you’d like to, you can seal them now. In my last two batches, I used clear topcoat nail polish. The problem with that is that I need between 3-5 coats of it, and it takes a while to dry. I’ve been experimenting with modpodge.
For lariats, you can use jump rings or lobster clasps.
Here is one that I made that wasn’t sealed. The finished texture after shrinking is a little bit rough. There’s nothing wrong with leaving them unsealed, but because they are inkjet printed, the colors wash right of without protection.
This is one that was sealed with modpodge. The colors become a little more vibrant and smooth and water resistant. Things often get stuck on when applying or drying so be careful.
These ones down here were sealed with clear nail polish. They come out shiny if you put enough coats, but the grainy texture will still be there.
Well, there ya go! Have fun making your own keychains!
