Never forget Republicans’ first principle is to sabotage a successful government program. #obamacare #socialsecurity
Think of the mind and morality of a political party who attack democracy from within, using their public persona to convince their voters that what they do as politicians is bad for the country.
Never forget how selfish it is to be a Republican. “Me first” is a failed policy in life and in politics.
mmm yup.
Tomorrow is the start of chronic pain awareness week.
This includes arthritis, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Costochondritis, IBS, Crohn’s disease, spina bifida, scoliosis, phantom pain, POTS, endometriosis, and others.
Please be kind and aware that some people are in constant pain even when they’re smiling.
Hey everyone this is is a PSA that Tumblr staff and Yahoo WANT to discourage your use of Tumblr. They want to discourage those users who want proper photo formatting because they want to promote those who upload videos. They are weeding out users who don’t care for the website’s video function. This is a step in their plan to make Tumblr a video-based website to compete against Youtube.
Boycotting/ceasing use of the website will be doing exactly what they want.
Do not stop using Tumblr. Make photo/image content like crazy. Stop uploading/watching videos. Sign this petition. Keep emailing the staff.
Be active.
The average age in Boston in the early 1770s was 14. More than half the population of Boston was under 21 in the events leading up to the American Revolution.
It really puts everything into a completely different context, doesn’t it?

really important information to protect your privacy!!
with the new tumblr look-up system, the email address you use could be at risk to expose your tumblr account to those you may not wish to see it
if you have emailed an acquaintance on the email you are using to login to tumblr every day they can now find out who you are through the lookup system. it is incredibly important for the safety of those trying to stay away from abusers to separate the email they use for tumblr and the email that they use to communicate with others.
otherwise, any single person you’ve ever talked through an email with, anyone who’s added you to their list of friends without your knowledge on an email account can find you
this is really important, i’m not seeing anyone really post about the lookup system, and this is really terrible for people trying to escape past abusers and shit so just
fucking bump this shit i guess

Most people say that it’s ridiculous to say that the Harry Potter books saved lives, but read this and you’ll change your perspective. Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter, once wrote to J.K. Rowling begging for at least a tiny role in one of the films. At the time she was young and was dying due to her anorexia. She mentioned it to J.K. and begged to have one part in the film before it was too late. J.K. Rowling responded with a deal: she’d give her a part if she got better. Evanna got better and never returned to her anorexia.
Reblog every time because 1. It’s fucking awesome. 2. She’s fucking gorgeous. and 3. Books save lives.
NO NO NO NO NO NO WRONG.
I always see this post and it always irritates the shit out of me.
JK Rowling did not offer Evanna the part if she got better. And Evanna CERTAINLY didn’t beg for it.That’s not what happened at all. While Evanna was doing inpatient therapy for her disorder she wrote to JK Rowling expressing her admiration for the author. She continued to write back and forth with JK Rowling from the age of eleven onward. That much is true. And JK Rowling did encourage and help her to fight the disease.
But Evanna stood in line with all of the REST of those FIFTEEN THOUSAND hopeful girls and won the part based on her TALENT ALONE. JK Rowling wasn’t even aware that Evanna was the girl she’d been exchanging letters with until AFTER she was already cast! Here’s a quote from a Q&A with Evanna about this very subject
I wrote to her when I was 11, and I was sick at the time. I had an eating disorder. I wrote to her because Harry Potter was the only other thing I really cared about and that helped me take my mind off it, and I just wanted to thank her for that and say how much it helped me. Especially how much Luna helped me. It was basically just a big fat, “thank you, I love you” letter.
I kept expecting her not to write back, but she’s just such a caring person that she really wants to help with whatever wisdom she has. We wrote for years, and she helped me through recovery and everything.
I was still writing to her when I got the part of Luna. But it happened in such a short space of time that I didn’t get to tell her. The producers told her because they just mentioned the names of people. She was really shocked. We still keep in touch.
So please for the love of god, stop reducing this fantastic actress and woman and human being to her disease. She didn’t get better so she could play Luna. She got better just to get better. To have a wonderful life. And she probably worked incredibly fucking hard to do so. It was because she got better that she got the opportunity to play Luna and played her so beautifully, that JK Rowling wrote the character to be more like Evanna. Not the other way around.
Evanna Lynch’s story holds an incredible message for those fighting their respective eating disorders: 1. You don’t have to starve yourself to be successful or even considered beautiful and 2. The only way to discover your potential, to fully live your life, is if you’re healthy and around to live it.
JK Rowling is a wonderful woman and she supported Evanna with her words and her stories. She’s done much the same for many of us. But Evanna Lynch’s recovery is not about JK Rowling.
Evanna is strong and capable and talented on her own. Everybody needs support now and again. But please, please, please DON’T praise JK Rowling for Evanna Lynch’s recovery. That’s not how it works. And the idea that you need someone else to come and fix you, to bribe you into recovering is dangerous and wrong. Recovery comes from within. It’s about changing the way you think about yourself and food. The only way to recover is to make those difficult choices inside your own head, your own body. Nothing can change that.
This woman is proof that all of us, nerdy or bullied or odd like Luna, have the power to take control of our lives and conquer our demons. This woman is proof that hope is not silly. Finding solace in fiction is not frivolous.
Evanna Lynch is the hero of this story.
Not Harry Potter.
Not JK Rowling.
Evanna.
My favorite Halloween thing so far today.
Happy Halloween :)
One of the BEST ad campaigns about representation I have seen.
Everyone has a backbone. Use yours.
ugh, like there is LITERALLY no canonical evidence for the ~han solo: space womanizer~ head canon. like, when he first meets the ONE female character in the entire series that he interacts with he is GROUCHY and SHOUTY at her, not sauve and dashing. she thinks he is a tool and tells him this multiple times. not really smooth and charming.
he then takes to following her around on Hoth and practically pulling her pigtails asking ” DO YOU LIKE ME? YES/NO? (PLS SAY YES)” with hearts in his eyes. (Chewie probably had to throw out like a HALF DOZEN old notebooks that were filled with awful power ballads/poetry/odes to her and “Mr. Han Organa” written in different fonts)
when it comes to the iconic ‘i know’ in response to Leia’s proclamtion of love, Ford has stated that it’s out of PURE CONCERN for HER FEELINGS (“the point is that I’m not worried about myself anymore, I’m worried about her” - DIRECT QUOTE), it was NOT a ‘boss’ move or ‘so swagtastic it hurts’ it was an apology that he couldn’t be there for her, it was an attempt to make her smile, to make it hurt less than if he had said the words too and then was forced to leave her. (not that he would have been much help; remember that han solo spends the majority of the 3rd film mostly blind and feeble, unable to take care of himself and generally getting in the way while Leia Gets Shit Done)
when he does say the words, it’s with the most adoring and awestruck expression. those words are fused with more than just love and respect. he’s almost HONOURED that he gets to love this badass babe and that she allows him to exist in her orbit.
AND THEN he loves Leia so much that he’s willing to step aside so she can be happy with the man he believes she wants. and valuing a woman’s choices and feelings over your own is not exactly womanizing behaviour - so where did this headcanon come from??
The Best Reason Not to Share Nude Photos (College Humor)
WOW COLLEGE HUMOR IS ON POINT. BOOM.
‘Cause people seem to only post the 20-something Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey Hepburn was the granddaughter of a baron, the daughter of a nazi sympathizer, spent her teens doing ballet to secretly raise money for the dutch resistance against the nazis, and spent her post-film career as a goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, winning the presidential medal of freedom for her efforts.
…and history remembers her as pretty.
AND HISTORY REMEMBERS HER AS PRETTY
note
this is the first time I have ever seen a picture of her older than 20 and I think that’s scary

also, forever opposed to the weird trifecta of
- the personal is political / your existence is revolutionary, when used prescriptively or as a given
- if you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention / if you’re silent or neutral you must be on the side of the oppressor
- if you don’t care about these issues (for a narrow definition of caring, in a visible and strident way), you must not be affected by them
individuals whose lives are politicized against their will can reserve the right to be apolitical. to not accept that. people who are silent or neutral may be uninformed, scared, confused, necessarily focused on their own survival. opting out is not invariably a sign of privilege. opting out does not indicate a lack of empathy. instead of saying that our breathing is revolutionary or makes us activists, we need to say that it is ok for people not to be activists.
nothing makes my blood boil like posts that scathingly indict anyone who doesn’t visibly engage with ‘the issues’, accusing them of complacency and saying ‘it must be nice to have this shit not affect you’. withdrawing is frequently a reasonable response to this stuff affecting you. have you no perspective.
