First pack of downloadable and printable Whoflake patterns: (x)

On special order and because I haven’t done any in ages. A few words of advice: The Cyberman is smaller than the rest, because it is intended for a smaller snowflake; the others will comfortably fit an A4 sheet. You might have to fiddle a bit before you get it printed properly for folding, but since that’s largely individual printing preferences I’ll leave it up to you. Oh, and mind the Ood’s tentacles. Just see how well you can cut before you accidentally slice their heads of. It makes for a very unattractive death. I lined it because it’s the the one where folding it properly is hardest, but the lines should all disappear with cutting. 

For those who are interested, here is how I make the snowflakes.

And now, have fun! (And I’d love to see what you did with them!)

Let me preface this video by stating that here is nothing that I can come up with here that will do this video justice, it is 5 minutes and 17 seconds of genius. You’ll simply have to watch it for all of the brief remarks.

In the video, Rep. Luis Gutierez (D-Ill) takes “on the GOP and Mitt Romney’s characterization of Arizona’s onerous anti-immigration policies as a ‘model’ the U.S. should follow.” From the HuffPost,

And with this, the Congressman is off to the races, counting exactly how Arizona’s law is a terrible model for the rest of the country:

  • “One, if you’re a politician, Arizona’s law is a model for how to achieve early retirement.”
  • “Two, if you want to wreck your local economy, Arizona’s law is a model for lost jobs and tax revenue.”
  • “Three, Arizona’s law is a model for how to energize Latino voters.”
  • “Four — and I’ll stop at four because my time in limited — Arizona’s law is a model on how to make decent people suffer.”

Rep. Luis Gutierrez began his speech by stating well-known Latino demographics (the number one way to scare politicians) and then stating, “that’s a lot of people to keep track of, especially if you want to offend each and every one of them.” Can you feel the burn? I can. I hope it’s not a rash.
