Hello!

These are 1/8” laser cut acrylic , hand-dyed digicrest :)
So after months of people asking and messaging me, YUP I’M FINALLY SELLING THESE BABIES.
But I’m also going to do a free giveaway of all 9 crests! (Courage, Friendship, Love, Intelligence, Reliability, Serenity, Hope, Light and Kindness)

• Reblog for your chance to win
• On May 10th I’m going to use a random number generator to pick the winner.
• Make sure your ask box is open that day so I can message you
• If it isn’t I’m just gonna pick another winner.
• Don’t need to be following me, reblogging multiple times will only really annoy your follows, but I guess it’s valid…

I asked around a while ago if people were interested in these and I had pretty enthusiastic responses. But this giveaway is mainly for the people who can’t afford them, I felt so bad when people kept messaging me and asking for them for free or saying how they would definitely buy them if they had money. So here’s my solution, A FREE GIVE AWAY :)
So if you can afford them please let other people who can’t, have a chance at winning these. If you want to buy them:

• Set of 9 crests = $40
• Individual crests= $6
• Free shipping to Canada/US, $3 international
• First come first serve, paypal required
• If you want to order a full set, I suggest you do it asap because I can only make 3 full sets

I won’t be able to make another batch of these until September, and that’s if I decide to make more. We’ll see.
So if you’re interested in purchasing, email me your order at digicrestsbylily@gmail.com. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. I will email you back to confirm your order or telling you I don’t have what you want.
Or if anyone knows where I can do cheap laser cuts in Toronto, let me know via email
Inbox/email me if you have any questions.
Good luck guys : )

Yes. That really happened. Thank you Billy Crystal for reinforcing the fact that Black people are costumes.

Since this happened, there’s been a lot of grumbling about how it’s “just a joke” and Billy Crystal has been doing this forever, so “it’s not a big deal.”  

This is followed by a lot of anxiety and hand-wringing about being “too sensitive” on the part of people of color, and a whole lotta labeling from the other end.

The implication is that if you are “too sensitive” then your feelings are invalid because they are extreme and those with feelings deemed extreme have no right to complain.  ”Too sensitive” compared to whom, exactly?  

The term frames people who accept depictions of racism in media as normative, while we who are “too sensitive” are the ones not getting with the program (or getting the “joke.”  Even if the “joke” is awful.)

The culture that we live in is designed to label folks who “construe something as racist”—regardless of historical context or modern exclusion— as people who are “too sensitive.”

In our society, to be “too sensitive” is a bigger sin than “doing something that has a racist impact.”

Why? Because being sensitive is what people who are at an disadvantage do. (Hence sensitivity being a negative trait attributed to women and minorities who just want respect.  Note that being a “pussy” is an insult to men and “having balls” is a compliment.)

In contrast, cultural bullying is something that people with privilege do.  People with agent status make are lauded for making “gutsy” jokes and expressing their free speech without caring about responsibility or impact (that would involve being too sensitive.)  The entitlement is such that the sensitive fee-fees of the people they are disrespecting shouldn’t matter.  

Meanwhile, people with targeted status are expected to “take it,” as in, docilely receive and accept it.

White male privilege has made it worse for those impacted by a racist act to be called pussies than for the perpetrator to be called out for doing something racist. The majority of people with privilege are doing the former, making it impossible to win by doing the latter.  

Sometimes people who do not have privilege buy in, too, to gain what little modicum of power might available from being associated with “having balls” rather than “being a pussy.”  (Shush, you’re being too sensitive.)  And, people who would otherwise be allies in situations like this (cis-men, people who are white, etc.) are also afraid to speak out because to be reduced to this label is a loss of esteem.  (“I don’t want to be viewed as being ‘too sensitive.’”  Why not?)

In order for privilege to keep its power, things have to be this way. Minorities have to be worried about being labeled as “too sensitive”—as if it were some sort of blight, having sensitivity, omg worst thing ever—if we dare speak out.

Here’s the deal:  For decades, the practice of blackface was used to dehumanize, denigrate, and exclude people of color from society and Hollywood.  The people complaining that we’re “too sensitive” are drawing comparisons to “White Girls” and Dave Chapelle’s white face without taking into account that whiteface was never used by historic Hollywood to as a tool perpetuate negative stereotypes that got people discriminated against, beaten, or killed.

Whiteface was never used by Hollywood on a sweeping basis to prevent an entire population of white people from having the ability to represent themselves on screen.

Whiteface has not contributed to a systemic national climate against white people.

Whiteface has not aided and abetted pattern of lynchings of white people across the country.

Can’t say the same for blackface.

Given that Hollywood continues to have diversity problem to this day, of course the scene touched a nerve. It is easier to label the outcry as “too sensitive” than to examine the historical context behind why people might be upset or disturbed.

Amanda Hess of former Washington CityPaper fame (now working over at Good) is at the center of a little micro-monsoon of birth control activism on Twitter right now. Georgia Rep. Tom Price has been making media rounds claiming that unsubsidized birth control has never been out of the reach of any woman with her priorities in line. Read: If you really needed it, you’d drop the cash. Hess, bringing down her ladyhammer, took to Twitter to crowd source the voices of those women whose existences Price was flat out denying. The results have been amazing, check it out. #ThePriceIsWrong

Pour fêter la sortie de La Menace Fantôme en 3D dans les cinémas le 8 février prochain, Quick va proposer 3 nouveaux burgers limités, les Dark Burger, Jedi Burger et Dark Vador Burger. Le Dark Burger est évidemment LE burger qui retient toute notre attention. Inspiré par le personnage de Dark Vador, il dispose d’un pain… noir. Etonnant.
