Tommy Hilfiger just made history with a clothing line for kids with disabilities

This week, Tommy Hilfiger announced a line of adaptive clothing (clothing that’s adapted for people with disabilities) for children, created in partnership with Runway of Dreams, an organization started by New Jersey-based fashion designer Mindy Scheier, who had her own upsetting experiences with the lack of adaptive clothing.

This is how we can make fashionable clothing for all, @this-is-life-actually.

Adaptive Clothing departments would be awesome. They could include clothing for people with sensory problems as well. I would love to be able to find clothes like that.

😮🙆

an important factual presentation by me

All the facts.

No, no, no.

Seriously, I get what you’re going for, but stop using Cleopatra as an example when there are tons of great Egyptian queens who we have actual archeological evidence were black or olive skinned. Because Cleopatra was super Greek.

Ancient Egypt is not a monolith. It was invaded multiple times, by desert dwelling Hittites, by the people of modern Sudan, and once by Alexander the Great.

Alexander put his very Greek general in charge, and eventually this ended up as the Ptolemaic dynasty, a bunch of Greek people intermarrying each other, until we got Cleopatra the Famous. Cleopatra was one of the first people in her dynasty to learn native Egyptian because the rest of them spoke solely Greek. Her father worshipped Dionysus. There’s even some evidence she may have been a red head. She was probably white, albeit Mediterranean white.

Ancient Egypt had dozens of dynasties and tons of rulers. Most of them were not white, why do you guys keep insisting on ignoring all of the great Quuens like Tiye, Ankhsenamun, and Nefertiti to focus on Cleopatra and ignoring historical facts about her?

Physics question for all you nerds out there: weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity, yeah? If something is on a different planet to Earth with different gravity, its weight changes because acceleration is different, but its mass remains the same? Is that correct? (It might seem really simple but I have been taking Physics for a grand total of about three weeks so idk :/)

Yeah, that sounds right. The mass is the amount of matter, so it doesn’t change. But the force of gravity does, which makes it the object accelerate more to the center of gravity, changing the weight. It’s not the matter, it’s how much it’s being pulled.
