Tony Goldwyn is a Beast Studies @dettylover - Tumblr Blog

Tumblr tends to be very America-centric so can we just turn our eyes for a minute to the UK

Specifically to this woman.

Earlier today, Jo Cox, a Labour MP in Northern England, was stabbed and shot at an event in a library.

It has just been confirmed that she has died due to the attack.

She was a great campaigner and humanitarian, and has left behind a husband and two children.

This kind of event happens rarely in the UK, and so this is terrifying and destabilising that such a horrific thing has happened to such a compassionate person.

Can thoughts on Tumblr turn to the UK today please, and turn to remember a woman who has been brutally murdered after a lifetime of trying to build a better country.

Guys, I’m begging you to reblog this Jo Cox was a representative, and she was shot while meeting with her constituents. She has been very vocally advocating for Syrian refugees to enter Britain, and was shot by a man who allegedly shouted “Britain first” several times. She died within an hour. <b>Please give her death and life the attention it deserves.

Love is a state of total freedom. Free from any/all attachments, bonds, or desires… Let go of all you thought and knew to be true to embrace what actually is. The heart can never be broken. When you experience “heartbreak” you are experiencing the constructs of the mind, the needing or wanting of the mind…(ego). The heart just wants to love, love, and love. To keep on expanding with love.. The mind/ego wants to hold…protect.. Recognize the heart is as vast as the ocean, capable of immense self love and unconditionally radiating it outwardly.. Follow the path of awareness…~

Black women don’t matter. When Ice Cube puts his palm on the head of a topless woman and shoves her into a hotel hallway, locking her out of the room, we’re supposed to laugh at her humiliation. When hordes of near-naked women dance poolside in bikinis or perform sexual favors in crowded hotel rooms, we’re supposed to forget the now infamous real-life Straight Outta Compton casting sheet that surfaced last summer, calling for scenes featuring “fine girls” who “should be light-skinned” with “really nice bodies,” and “medium to dark skin”-toned “African-American girls” who are “[poor], not in good shape.”

Yankees’ Minor League Affiliate Holds ‘Blue Lives Matter’ Event On Ferguson Anniversary

Sunday was the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager who was killed by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown’s death helped launch the Black Lives Matter movement, drawing attention to police brutality against African Americans.

For the Staten Island Yankees, the Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, Sunday was “Blue Lives Matter Day.”

Watch: Hughes’ poem is all too relevant (and necessary) today

“In walked the butler.” Oh, who could that be, I wonder. That’s basically racist.

John Oliver has read “Daily Show” slash fiction, and he has some constructive criticism.

HAHAHAHA! Watch the video and all the people in the audience that are silent when John Oliver asks ‘do you know about slash fiction’…they know. They know.

God, grant me serenity, for I’m too young to feel this weary. Why can’t we ever feel safe?

“I admired her from afar for a while, and eventually summed up the courage to tell her my feelings. She told me that she felt the same way. This was before cell phones, so at first our meetings were limited to random interactions on the street. But then we both got mobiles and started talking on the phone. Eventually she told me that she wanted to marry me. I sent my mother to ask her family for permission, but they didn’t think I was a suitable match. They were a higher class of people. They were educated. Her father was a business owner. I tried to plead with them: ‘I’m not paralyzed,’ I told them. ‘I work. Why am I not good enough?’ But I was never given an answer.” (Hunza Valley, Pakistan)

When a person tells you you hurt them, you don’t get to decide you didn’t.

for today’s episode on how fucked up our world is: women have a completely different section for plus sizes with completely different clothes and very small variety, but men have all their sizes in the same section, without classifying it “plus sized”.
