I know this is a commercial, but these are two of my favorite people talking to each other. Also, please get health insurance while you can. Do it in the next couple days so you can be set by January. Healthcare.gov

James Norton photographed by Ian Derry. Gorgeous. :)

From The Observer Magazine, May 3 (and wow, I really can’t wait to see Life in Squares =James/everyone. ):

When he took the part of rapist Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley, James Norton was warned to expect strong reactions. “One woman grabbed me by the neck and said: ‘You’re a rotter.’ And a girl at a festival who was dancing with her friends let out a big yelp,” he says. Thankfully his next role was in detective drama Grantchester, as a vicar who solves crimes - “a lovely man”. So what’s next? As well as appearing in BBC adaptations of War & Peace and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Norton is set to play painter Duncan Grant in the new drama series Life in Squares. Wasn’t he quite the lothario? “The main thing that seemed to unite the Bloomsbury group was wanting to have sex with Duncan Grant.” Favourite current show: House of Cards. Kevin Spacey’s sort of shameless in it, and I really love that. Favourite childhood TV: Charlie Chalk, which was about a clown living in a jungle - it was very comforting and warm. TV crush: Anne from Neighbours - Karl Kennedy’s daughter. Guilty Pleasure: Homes Under the Hammer. I try to do 20 minutes every morning, when I’m supposed to be reading a script.

Your semi-regular reminder that Nicki Minaj is out as bisexual and the bi community is extremely fucking dedicated to supporting trans people both in and out of our community.

Happy 45th Birthday, Matt Berninger! (February 13, 1971).

“It’s true, you are terrible at a lot of things. But there are a couple of things that nobody else does as well as you do. It drives me bananas that you will throw yourself away completely because of one or two things that you think are wrong about you. That’s what breaks my heart. You got to ignore those and lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else. Fake it. Fake your way upwards.”

Stop reducing native issues to “they had their land taken”.

Our sisters are still murdered and missing. Our children go hungry and cold. Our elders can’t afford health care. Our parents suffer from untreated mental illness and have addictions because they self medicate.

And thats not even on the reservations. Thats just in farming communities of the Lumbee. And we are doing well by comparison to other groups.

Stop reducing us to stolen land and erasing our real struggles.

Natives have the highest suicide rates. Natives have the most unsafe school conditions. 75% of sex trafficking victims in Canada are First Nations. Natives are the most likely to be shot by police according to some studies and just as likely to be shot as black brothers and sisters according to others. Half of the homes on reservations in the US are legally deemed “uninhabitable” despite families and children living in them. Non native people can still commit crimes against us and not even be tried under native law, usually meaning not at all. Reservations flood often, they are stricken with drought. Most urban native kids carry the weight of being the only native their classmates and other townspeople will ever know. There are no college classes for us or about us. We are struggling, y'all. We have had our land, languages, and family ripped from us, it’s more than just history, it’s 500+ years of ongoing genocide.
