im fucking panicking i cant believe 4000 people have died within 6 weeks of being found “fit for work” by the uk government. we’re being killed and no one is doing anything about it. im not saying this for effect or over-exaggerating, but this is genocide against disabled people. this is 4000 people. this is not even the correct number, this is only within a 6 week period and only the ones that we know for sure. there will be thousands more.
What??? Can someone explain this? I’m really concerned and I lack context.
Basically the head of the Department and work and Pensions, Iain Duncan-Smith is committing genocide against the disabled and working class.
His department under his leadership is making people with mental, physical and other issues seek work when they can’t. He has decreed that benefit claimants are scrounges and worse than shit.
He has an ongoing program to exterminate the weak, vulnerable and disabled from Britain.
Under the Geneva Convention this is classed as genocide.
Iain Duncan-Smith is one of the British politician in support of scrapping the Human Rights act, an act he can be held accountable for his hideous act of Genocide and mass murder.
Please use his full name and the words genocide. Tag them together. Post it on as much social media as you can. This needs to become world wide knowledge and people should feel free to contact the UN, European Court of Human Rights and organisations such as Amnesty International.
We, as in the disabled of Great Britain, need this man, and in fact the entire Tory Government to be removed before they cause all of the vulnerable people of this country to die.
Now you maybe wondering how to help, start by reposting stuff like this, tag it with Iain Duncan-Smith, Genocide and War on the poor. And make it big. Make it so information about this Genocide becomes one of the most found searches on google about Britain right now.
We need this to stop now.
Y'all remember how i spent election night literally crying? This is why.
It should be noted that when George Osborne announced the rise of the minimum wage to £9 during the Budget (misleadingly renamed “the living wage”), this was Iain Duncan Smith’s reaction:
And why the double fist pump? Because he knew that the media buzz of the rise in a living wage would be a welcome distraction from his £12bn in welfare cuts. Something that is drastically, fatally affecting some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.
The man is scum.
over 91,000 people have died since the “fit to work” scheme was put in place 2 and a half years ago. works out as 99 a day. 99 people a day have died after being forced to work when they physically can’t. it doesn’t seem real
I love how instead of being like “damn right you are tiny and insignificant and nothing matters” he’s like “yeah you’re tiny and think you’re insignificant AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY EVERYTHING MATTERS GET SOME FUCKING PERSPECTIVE MOSES”

Okay, so you know how a while back ago, tumblr had these posts showing gorgeous sparkly liqueurs (Viniq) that tasted like grape candy and mistakes and then I stupidly drank the red version and hurt myself?
BEHOLD THE RED DEATH: NEVER AGAIN
So, I had a hunch that the sparkly pigments I use in vodka suspensions to decorate my cookies were probably similar, if not the same thing, and if this were true, we would not be chained to nasty-tasting drinks to obtain the magical sparkle.
So, obviously, this called for some experimentation.
I worked with two dark liquors, a cherry lambic and a cheap red wine a friend left at the house, but obviously, I think any somewhat translucent liquid, alcoholic or not, would work. Opaque liquids like milk wouldn’t do at all. I do think the pigments will show best against darker colors, but I may try another experiment with some cider i have about the apartment.
First off, a VERY LITTLE pigment goes a long way. Also, ignore the ‘not for consumption.’ The pigments are widely used in wedding cake preparation and have been tested and okayed in Europe. They’re non-toxic and safe for consumption but haven’t been tested by the FDA, which is why the label.
That looks like a lot more than it is. I literally took a pen tip and pushed a tiny bit in, but it spreads like crazy.
Result: YES, IT DOES THE THING, but the foam obscures the cool view from above.
So I was a doofus and left the NU Silver at vrumblr‘s place, so when I decided to try again with red wine, I went with Super Pearl, a white pearly version, which is less shiny, but still pretty bright.
Again, this is the tiniest bit I could get in there with a toothpick.
YAAAAAAS. WHY DRINK THE RED DEATH WHEN YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKE?
So pretty! I think it would be even more pronounced with the NU Silver, so there’s that. This would be so fun for a party. Or fancy kid’s birthday, I don’t know.
BUT THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENED
I decided to try a less neutral color, and went with SUPER GOLD luster dust, because WHY NOT GO SUPER?
I used the same wine as before, and this is what happened. I’m going to say right now that the pictures don’t do it justice because it glowed and sparkled.
This should work with a red soda or juice, or any dark juice or pop. The darker, the better, I’d think. Have fun!
Anyhow, you can go to an online shop or hit up a cake decorating store (a real one, not Michael’s or JoAnn’s, if you have one) in your area, but I highly recommend getting yourself some gold luster dust. I suspect any of the bright gold luster dusts like old gold, aztec gold, or antique gold would also work. Don’t bother with the stuff they have at Michael’s. It’s banana-colored and has almost no sparkle.
Oh my goooooood.
Also I didn’t realize you left the sparkle here. I’ll look for it.
HOOOOOLY SHIIIT
@seananmcguire, I bet this would work great with that godawful port you like… ;)
Kay so I want a Hawke who goes twice as hard for mage rights as Anders.
Like Hawke just comes in to Kirkwall guns blazing already starting shit before he even meets Anders. Like using his new found wealth immediately funneling it into the underground, working to tear down the gallows at every turn. Rescuing refugee mages with his influence and experience working during the first year.
When Anders finally meets him he’s just like “who what? what? wait what how is-” like he doesn’t even know what to do with someone more passionate about it than he is. He loves it, obviously and suddenly Anders is chasing around his new boyfriend trying to keep Hawke from making rash decisions, feeling strange as he is suddenly the one advocating caution.
