softponcho:

Fisher completed her part in Episode VIII late last summer, when principal photography on the film wrapped. “She was having a blast,” said Kennedy. “The minute she finished, she grabbed me and said, ‘I’d better be at the forefront of IX!’ Because Harrison was front and center on VII, and Mark is front and center on VIII. She thought IX would be her movie. And it would have been.”

I’m not crying you’re crying

“Anti-sex work feminist have done such a good job convincing the public that sex work is rape, it becomes hard for people to understand that taking on a job in sex work doesn’t mean signing up for abuse. Insisting that sex work is violence normalizes violence when it does happen. It also makes it incredibly hard for sex workers to disclose when they do experience violence.”

Heather Berg

 (Yes, Sex Workers Can Also Be Victims of Rape)


Yes yes YES YES YES, I had clients who VIOLENTLY mistreated me when I was new and I thought that was just part of the job, I thought I was protecting “innocent girls” from being raped by allowing rapists to simulate their impulses on me because I was dirty and I deserved it. It makes me sick and it makes me ANGRY that I ever felt that way. And I know there are others who are going through the exact same whirlwind of feelings, right now.

ThePrettiestOne

I mean, the only thing saving us from their brutality is their stupidity, but it's good to remember that stupidity can get you pretty fucking dead too.

mitsurugireiji:

mitsurugireiji:

so let me get this straight: the UK is very pointedly saying ‘please do what you have always done in these situations where a terrorist attack has happened on British Soil and keep the sensitive intelligence we entrusted to you quiet until we give you the go ahead.

and trump’s government has leaked pretty much everything to the press, thus hindering the investigations here to the point where our home sec has had to censor intelligence we’re now giving the US, our closest ally

w o w

okay a lot of people don’t know what i’m talking about, so here’s a link

but the main gist is: trump’s government has leaked to the US press, and thus the world:

- the name of the bomber
- the fucking forensic photos from the investigation

these may seem like small things but first off:

- our government didn’t want to name the bomber until thursday/tuesday, so they could continue their investigation without alerting anyone he may have been working with
- they also didn’t want the media hanging around his family or his flat, which they ended up doing
-
they’re the fucking forensic photos of evidence, still covered in blood, is there no such thing as tact

our home sec has been forced to now censor all further intelligence we give to the US on this matter, and has released [what i may call, light heartedly, the most british angry political statement i’ve ever read]

“The British police have been very clear that they want to control the flow of information in order to protect operational integrity, the element of surprise. So it is irritating if it gets released from other sources and I have been very clear with our friends that should not happen again.” 

so in the past two week slaone, trump’s government has managed to reveal intelligence from israel and the uk, two of their closest political and military allies.

i reiterate:

This Is Not My Cat

Via Pleated-Jeans.com

Funfact, stray cats who were previously house cats (often abandoned in strange areas away from their homes) will sometimes go into whatever house they can find, because they know they belong in a house.

That’s not a fun fact. That’s a very sad fact.

Maybe I’ll make a “cats are assholes” joke so I can get Tumblr’d.

…or maybe I won’t.

1. My purse is basically a very nice duffel.
2. Bats Day?

gothiccharmschool:

I just need to accept that unless I’m going to a specific event (Bats Day, Vampire Ball), I am not a person who carries a tiny purse.

However, if there’s a need for a multi-tool, a USB drive, a sewing kit, pain relievers, a handkerchief, or a spot of hex breaking, I’m the person who can help.

(Note to Self: put matches and a small vial of salt in your purse. Maybe a small (TINY!) vial of glitter, too?)

Cat Rescued From Terrible Conditions Now Sleeps In Her Tiny Doll Bed Each And Every Night

by Elizabeth
ThePrettiestOne

OK, good that the cat got away from the cat hoarder, but I think maybe now the cat's in a doll bed accessory hoarding situation.

Meet Sophie, the rescue kitten who gets to sleep in her own miniature version of a human bed with rotating sets of sheets, comforters, and even a mini crocodile plushie. Life hasn’t always been so sweet and comfy for this fur ball. When she was around 3 years old, the kitty was rescued from a hoarding situation. Her previous owner would keep her and a ton of other animals in small cages, one cat on top of the other… So, it’s no surprise that when she got adopted by Christiana Viscusi and her partner, all this sweet and loving cat wanted to do was to be with her human parents all the time – especially at night.


Show Full Text

Every night, as soon as her mom would head off to bed, the kitty would go on top of the dresser to sleep. “I tried to see if she would sleep in our bed but she insisted on always sleeping on the dresser,” Christiana Viscusi, Sophie’s mom, told The Dodo. “So after a few nights I cleared off the dresser and put her bed there. She’s been going up to her bed when we go to bed ever since.”

“She gets up only once around 3 a.m. for a snack, then heads back up to her bed until my alarm goes off in the morning.” Viscusi added: “She sleeps there the entire night all tucked in.”

High school reportedly considering expulsion after student wears off-the-shoulder top

  • Hickory Ridge High School honor roll student Summer was weeks away from graduating when she did the unthinkable: She wore an off-the-shoulder top. 
  • Now, she says she’s been slapped with a 10-day suspension, banned from walking in her commencement ceremony, possibly facing expulsion and is worried about losing her college scholarships.
  • According to NBC Charlotte, Summer was wearing the top on Wednesday when, she said, the principal approached her in the cafeteria to ask if she had a jacket to cover up. Read more (5/23/17)
