“…Lady Fitz is so desperate for a connection that’s real and she sees that instantly in Charlotte.” – Liv Tyler [x.]

Liv Tyler looks like a young Elizabeth McGovern; and both she and JBF look alike as well; if they ever did make a DA prequel, I would so cast LT as young Cora

my favorite books of all time // a great and terrible beauty by libba bray

“Why does everyone want to own me?” Pippa mumbles. She’s got her head in her hands. “Why do they all want to control my life – how I look, whom I see, what I do or don’t do? Why can’t they just let me alone?”
“Because you’re beautiful,” Ann answers, watching the fire lick her palm. “People always think they can own beautiful things.”

Reminder: Do not buy from Amazon or even open the website on 10 July 2018, in solidarity with the transnational strike.

Amazon workers in Spain have called for a transnational strike because Amazon has been avoiding accountability for its labour rights violations by merely shifting the work (and the human rights abuses Amazon inflicts on their workers) to non-striking countries, each time a strike occurs. If there is widespread striking transnationally, Amazon will have no choice but to recognize the strikers’ demands in order to keep their facilities functioning.

Our job as allies is to support the strike by avoiding using the Amazon website or purchasing anything from Amazon for as long as the strike continues. A mass boycott of the site, coinciding with the strike, will strengthen the workers’ bargaining position and could be crucial to Amazon workers gaining back basic rights in a variety of countries.

Please remember this includes subsidiaries like Twitch and Audible.

This is tomorrow!

Please do not shop on Amazon tomorrow.

Please do not stream Amazon music or video tomorrow

Please do not order from sites using Amazon Payments tomorrow.

For one day, please, avoid it.

One of those things that everyone should know, but is not always easy to live out in practice.

Please don’t ever be with someone who makes you feel bad about who you are.

Please don’t ever be with someone who makes you feel bad about having boundaries, sexual or otherwise.

Please don’t ever be with someone who wants you to change who you are.

So apparently my dad has gotten into Downton Abbey; they’re showing re-runs on Sunday afternoons on PBS and yesterday I watched 3×01 with him, and at the end he said, “so what happens next?” and I said, “NOTHING. IT ENDS THERE.” Because it did.

Fight me.
