These 3D-printed prosthetics for children are given to them free of charge. (via @techthatmatters)⠀

⠀

Meet @teamunlimbited, a non-profit from the UK that’s on a mission to change the lives of children with missing limbs by helping them get custom 3D-printed prosthetics, free of charge.⠀

⠀

The innovative 3D-printed arm devices are designed to empower and inspire children to improve their confidence and courage. Each innovative 3D printed arm device is made by volunteers and gives a helping hand to remove the long-standing stigma around discussing disability.⠀

⠀

The prosthetics are cost-effective and easy to produce. They are fully parametric, thermo-formed 3D printed limbs that are light-weight, highly customizable and colourful. The average production cost is £30 (around $40) per arm. It’s a simple act of kindness that won’t get unnoticed.⠀

⠀

Team UnLimbited designs are attractive alternatives to the current, clunky and expensive, prosthetic options available. The designs are open source and freely available to anyone in the world with a 3D printer. On average, an arm takes 24 hours to complete.

I did another thing. Oops.

I love Scorpia and Perfuma so much. They are so pure and sweet and deserve happiness and friends and love.

And they’ve totally adopted Frosta now.

Making these three causes ISSUES because there were so many outfits I wanted to put them all in. So many. But I hope the final result is as cute as I intended.

And they all have some attempt at representing their gemstones.

Have you ever seen a violinist going APESHIT?!

ATTENTION WRITERS

Google BetaBooks. Do it now. It’s the best damn thing EVER.

You just upload your manuscript, write out some questions for your beta readers to answer in each chapter, and invite readers to check out your book!

It’s SO easy!

You can even track your readers! It tells you when they last read, and what chapter they read!

Your beta readers can even highlight and react to the text!!!

There’s also this thing where you can search the website for available readers best suited for YOUR book!

Seriously guys, BetaBooks is the most useful website in the whole world when it comes to beta reading, and… IT’S FREE.

I don’t want to end Amazon, because it provides an incredibly useful service to the disabled community, the elderly, and those who simply don’t have time to go shopping due to working three jobs and the like. There currently isn’t a major alternative on the market that is the same level of cheap and accessible.

What I do want to do is enforce some goddamn antitrust laws on major web-based companies like Amazon and Google and Facebook, and roll back their attempts at monopolizing entire industries, and make them pay their lowest-rung workers a fair wage and stop running their warehouses like a scene from a dystopian nightmare.

Why I’m So Angry About The Voyage of the Dawn Treader | Cultured Vultures

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader shows exactly how much Hollywood can distort the themes of a book.

I have a lot of feelings about this film. Most of them are bad, because I loved the book and feel the film did a terrible job of understanding the point of it. Also where was Caspian’s glorious accent??
