I love how irrelevant tumblr is. like no celebrities on here, no colleagues or family on here, no one’s famous off tumblr or making money, tbh no ones even updating the site like is there even any staff? who knows? it’s bliss
i see a lot of people posting about the impending war and the fires in australia, but only puerto ricans are talking about the earthquakes.
about a week ago, puerto rico started getting hit with hundreds of earthquakes, everyday at least two with magnitudes of over 5 hit. as of this post, during the morning at around 5am and 7am two big earthquakes of 6.6 and about 5.6 shook the southern part of the island.
30 families have lost their homes, business, roads and even schools have been fucked from the earthquakes and they havent stopped. if you are able to donate or at the very least spread the word of what’s going on, please do so.
this is just as important as what’s happening in other parts of the world, please raise awareness on what we’re going through and to all my fellow boricuas: stay safe, we’re gonna get through this.
oh and since I’m acknowledging how young you all are: never ever ever ever ever ever under any circumstances alter your educational decisions for a boy
I saw
everyone on twitter tearing Emma Watson apart for saying she’s self
- partnered instead of
single and decided to watch her interview for British Vogue to know what the
hell was she trying to say with that. I was very surprised to find a 30 minute video
in which amongst other things she talks about the following:
She felt undeserving when she was appointed
as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about
feminist activism.
She thinks the criticism
she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate
herself.
She says there’s a
desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they
are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how
they profited from slavery.
She felt anxious about approaching
30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and
she’s still figuring her life out.
She was so young when
she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life
before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used
to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame
more.
The interviewer is a
transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in
regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.
She talks about her role
as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many
people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist
character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are
different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”
She wishes more people would
realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see
that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.
She used to think she
could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate
that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as
self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single
= lonely.
Every media outlet decided
to focus in an out of context quote from the three minutes she talked about her
dating life when the actual interview had a lot of depth and way more important
things were discussed. I’m sad and angry but not surprised.
Um, no you weren’t born bisexual, you chose to watch Pirates of the Caribbean when you were 13 and fell in love with both Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom.
