Pashmina means “made from wool," but literally translates to “soft gold” in Kashmiri where first made

In the age of technology, the first assumption from the title can be to find comfort through some piece of hardware that will show you pictures of old ass friends who basically have no connection with us anymore. Let’s take it back to the classics. This is not a piece of technology or hardware, but more so, it is a piece of headwear made from the finest most comfortable material that the English have adopted- cashmere.

Understandably so, we have adopted the name cashmere from the origin country of Kashmir which founded this specific textile industry from the use of a very specific Pashmina goat in Nepal. These goats produced the softest wool products that came to be known as pashmina.

A Pashmina scarf not only is a great looking addition to any raver's wardrobe, it is actually one of the single greatest purchases I have ever made. The Persian translation from the word pashmina means “made from wool," but literally translates to “soft gold” in the original language. The feel of the textile liquid gold, except it is not some sh*tty fake cheese *cough cough*velveeta. This stuff, Pashmina, is the real f*ckin deal.

The coolest thing about this, in my opinion, is that the pashmina scarf is so versatile and can be worn with a plethora of outfits, that I think it should be added to every raver’s wardrobe. The feeling of putting it on over your head or around your shoulders literally will send chills down your spine as you’ve never felt something quite like this. Almost a return to womb as you’re encompassed by a gentle later of silky smooth cloth that will teleport you in to the clouds right above. It is like you are observing a cotton candy maker fill your body with that very fluff of the cotton candy as it swirls enchantingly around you.

There is a list of about 20 different ways to wear this item and each one will give you your own way to express this very item. If you like to wear something, for instance heady hoodies or the spirit hoodies (aka animal hoods), then this is truly going to be a great product. You feel as if you’re in your own world and these shawls are much bigger and longer than you may think, so I’ve invited friends grooving around me to join me in the cloud as it proves to be a great tepee or meeting spot haha. This is something that I have found that will help calm your nerves, relax yourself, and transport you in to another world of comfort all while not seeking some faux personal gain from some fake piece of tech.

As we grow continuously involved with media and building simulated connections with people we’ll most likely never see, such as the social media realm, it is so wonderful to reconnect with yourself and make yourself most comfortable. That’s why I recommend checking out some Pashmina scarfs at your next festival. Although there is a markup at the festival, there is such a special feeling by getting to pick one out while you’re there in the flesh. Or check out Amazon where they will have every type of pashmina you can probably find. Just make sure it says that the product is made of 100% cashmere or it will not be of the same quality. Very important that it is a genuine pashmina or cashmere scarf. Frankly with this one, I just wanted to pass on a word in good faith. To buy this thing. You can find great Pashmina scarfs for less than $20 on the web and these will satisfy the conditions of being made from pure cashmere. The true SoftGold.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
