Personally, as a side note, I like Meghan and find it sweet that she followed the story and cared. But Meghan married into that mess knowing she would have to keep her politics to herself. If she wants to change that from the inside I wish her all the luck; it’s not my business whether the English royal family express…

I agree. But that’s not the world we live in :( I think she can have personal opinions on ethical matters and human rights like Diana, as you point out. But she allegedly commented specifically on the result of a referendum. Regardless of the topic she can’t do that. And abortion just is a political issue in NI (and…
It’s really not though. Catherine Noone was an important figure in the lead up to the Referendum here and so her words matter as we turn toward helping our sisters in the North. The idea that the anti-choice DUP could, in any way, use something Noone said as a cudgel with which to beat the pro-choice movement is very…
Also, Beyoncé.
I’m a younger millennial at 26 and I feel much the same. I’m delighted for anyone who has internalised the body positive movement but I think most of us are struggling daily to unlearn old ideas. I mean, just because we know these beauty standards are bs doesn’t mean we’ve taken that knowledge in and allowed it to…
The public face of backwardness up the North are actually the DUP (the main Unionist, Protestant political party) and the Orange Order. These are not Protestants as you might know them. They are, from what I’ve seen (I’m from the Republic), the most ardently anti-progress group in the game. It’s the DUP you’ll see…
I think that’s just the way they do it when a man marries the monarch. Prince Philip is styled that way because a king would be thought to out-rank a queen or diminish the power of the Queen (*eye-roll*). Apparently, while Queen Consort and Queen Regnant are both titles, King Regnant is the only type of king— no King…
Pine and Hemsworth always duke it out for 1st place in my heart. I find Pine beautiful in that kind of soulful way; I think I could live a long and happy life with him. I just find him sexy in a way comes from my brain as much as anywhere else.

I discovered these two on Saturday and I’m obsessed. I’ve been down the youtube rabbit hole and can’t decide if I love the raunchy or delicate routines more.
It is gross but unfortunately we have no choice. Marriage was defined in the constitution as being between a man and a woman; equal right to life for foetus and mother is also enshrined in the constitution. So, we have to have referenda to scrap these amendments/clauses.
Well that’s upsetting.
The Jake/Heath story is fine until the very last line, then tears.
This is definitely true. I’ve always seen the show as being about Mike and Harvey so without one half of that (and his main storyline in relation to Rachel) idk how they will keep going.
Am I nuts or have we definitively known about the Weinstein thing for years? I have no connections to Hollywood at all— not even American—and the only thing I knew about Weinstein was that he was a notorious sleaze famous for harassing actresses, the whole “casting couch” thing. The last few days have been a weird…

We’ve all been there. You either put up with slimy creep making you feel uncomfortable and hate yourself for tolerating his bullshit later. Or, you make a scene and have everyone tell you to lighten up because having the rampant sexism in our society pointed out makes people uncomfortable. It isn’t polite to demand to…
I mean, she probably can’t incite violence on her show. But punching Nazis is an easy one for me. Once you start advocating— and actively working toward— genocide you’ve lost your right not to get punched.
They were carrying swastikas; I really feel like no one has any business silencing a Jewish person on this one.
Hmmmm... I got really excited there for a second because the Romanovs have always fascinated me. I think it was that cartoon version of Anastasia that came out when I was a kid. The lavish beauty, the snow, the absolute opulence and then the dramatic end of it all. I also love Russian writers, idk it’s a thing of mine.
