Has anyone heard about this?
"Taken from the UCLA event page,
"On Wednesday, February 5, 2014, students were alerted of an anonymous document sent to the UCLA Asian American Studies Center containing what can only be described as a collage of sexist slurs and racial epithets. Referencing language and imagery from an incident during Fall Quarter 2012, where a sign stating “asian women R Honkie white-boy worshipping Whores” was posted outside the UCLA Vietnamese Student Union Office, the document makes a deliberate effort to induce hurt and to provoke a response. It would be foolish to assume otherwise."
So...I'm posting this to start a discussion and also get out this news. I was just wondering if this is just floating around the "college bubble" or if people elsewhere have heard about it. I remember the racist "Asians in the Library" video got out because it was viral, but these events seem to have less news spread about them.

I personally think the pink looks more regal and fairy-tale like, whereas the orange is a bit more common place at high school proms/dances, but it should be whichever one makes you happiest ^-^
whoops I suppose I never updated this 
I asked for $4, since that was what most etsy stores were asking for similar things, but they gave me $10 :3
Some people paid $35 for the fundraising campaign they were made originally for (the jellyfish I made only because they seemed popular, so I kept that money, but if I ever sell the space ships I designed and made specifically for, well, people of that community hosting and participating in that campaign, the money would go to there)
should I bring in the activists and educators to this list?
the Brain Scoop is awesome, and definitely inspiring me to make my art, as well as my own youtube videos, more science based and contribute to STEAM (STEM + Art)...and I definitely have a lot to thank her for (inspiring me to apply for a summer internship at my univeristy's museum, staying calm while my lab partner was freaking out over river insects, just to name a few). She does do taxidermy, so if you're squeamish...CHECK THOSE GROSS-O-METER SCALES AT THE BEGINNING!
also vlogbrothers and all the things they're involved in (crash course, scishow, mental floss), Charlieissocoollike, Hannah Hart (My Drunk Kitchen), pretty much anyone else involved in the nerdfighter community....
as for more DIY/art stuff, I like Karen Kavett, puddingfishcakes, gentlemanbunny (kinda freaked out when the last 2 followed me on tumblr), and kinda bubzbeauty. I like strawburry17's old videos when she used to be more about helping her viewers create content of her own much more than some of her newer stuff...iiSuperWomanii's pretty funny (I found her through a POC tumblr blog for an off rant on people's racist reactions to the new Ms. America though...it fits with her channel a bit like Jenna Marble's rant on comments on woman olympians...I AM A TYPICAL STUDENT AT MY LIBERAL UNIVERSITY).
I have a channel too! I do polymer clay stuff, like puddingfishcakes and gentemanbunny - trying to head more towards science combined with cute art stuff to get younger people (mainly young girls) into science (kinda like the goldieblox approach :3 ) www.youtube.com/user/panda31415
So, this year I donated art (my mini jellyfish and space ship charms) to Project for Awesome, an event from December 17th-18th that promotes charities rather than normal internet viral things, and also raises money for the most voted charities. It's very community based ^ ^
Here's my shameless advertising for donations here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/project-for-awesome--2
my work and the work of other artists is in the $35 art tier
More on this is here:

I have one https://www.etsy.com/people/panda31415
nothing's listed but I may switch to storenvy over winter break and sell resin and clay charms and miniatures (or stay with etsy ^ ^ depending on how many people are interested)
Thanks 
The issue is....I just collect supplies over time, so I have no idea how much they cost , and I sorta did these in bulk so I don't know specifically how much time it took (especially having to wait for resin to cure)
It seems like most people on etsy price them at around $4....someone had one in just a slightly bigger bottle for $9, but it seemed overprice (unless she was including a necklace chain or something)
they're about 2-2.5 cm
Here's what I made
So....I've been thinking about selling the things I make but never got to it in fear of over or underpricing, and I recently posted some stuff I made for charity on facebook...now 2 people want to buy some but I have no idea how to price them OTL
Any advice? I'm posting a picture of what they want underneath

I find that resin is a pretty good waterproof glaze, since it's often used for wood/surface varnish. Fimo won't tend to crumble unless you don't bake out all the plasticizer (which would leave only PVC, which is waterproof). People often put it in water to quench them after baking, which makes the pieces stronger
panda314.tumblr.com and http://panda314tutorials.tumblr.com/ :3
The first one is art with random things, the second one is tutorials (and random credit ranting )
Anyone else have one? Mine is

(since I've been having trouble linking youtube to CO+K ....these videos exist, I just haven't been able to post them XP)
I know that UC apps are done with, but I'm a golden bear! I'm actually in a recruitment/retention group that's under the university, and wish I'd seen this sooner! We have a free overnight program in November, and another one in Spring if you want to shadow college students (and yes, you can still apply to the spring one even though apps are over and done with). I'm also in one of engineering groups, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions! My cousin also went to Carnegie Mellon...so maybe I could ask her if you want to know anything about them ?? :/ (I don't really talk to her much)
Since you are applying to some of the top schools, I'm assuming you plan to attend them through undergrad rather than do community college then transfer...so I'd say do what my old floor mate did her last semester of high school and apply to a ton of scholarships and (apparently, she applied to nearly 100, and they helped her a lot!). Also, don't be afraid to try for the bigger more competitive ones, like Gates, because, well, you never know unless you try. Good luck!
(also...I took some community college classes during high school, my spring admit room mate also took cc classes before she started at Cal, and one of my engineering friends took the chem requirement over the summer at a community college. Berkeley gen chem is REALLY stressful, since all premeds and engineers as well as other science majors have to take it, and for her putting it off until summer worked out a lot better-and cheaper...much less $ than the physics class I had to take over the summer because I needed to get the class from Berkeley...so even if you are planning to do all 4 years at a university, like PinkWeeds says, community college doesn't hurt)
