Well, I wasn’t surprised that another interview with Papa Markle was released this past weekend. This week overall is pretty unfavorable, including this upcoming Saturday and Sunday.
I haven’t gotten a chance to read all the recent coverage, but given this article yesterday, I’m now wondering if Papa Markle is going to hit back more with another interview round this weekend. At this point, I suspect the article about Doria moving was just being floated around to see what the reaction was before it actually happens. But I can see Papa Markle being pissed since he’s completely out in the cold at this point.
I wonder if those rumors of Doria being a felon are true. If so, then it could Papa Markle who exposes it by talking about it to the Daily Mail or some other Fleet Street outlet. He could totally talk about it, and then the rest of Fleet Street would have to verify it with legal records. If she really is planning on moving to the UK–and jumping ahead of thousands of other people in the immigration line–then her having a criminal record would be a serious issue I’d imagine.
But the royal family is always held to a higher standard with their marriages than the aristocracy and other Brits. I can’t see the CoE allowing an annulment because the dimwits chose to go by their known-by names instead of legal names. But then there has been so much stupid shit with this relationship that I couldn’t have predicted anyway…
There isn’t much left for these two to accomplish. All that’s left prior to a dissolution of marriage is an obliteration of these two (or perhaps just Megsy) by Fleet Street.
The University of Copenhagen in Denmark is home to a unique collection of Ancient Egyptian papyrus manuscripts.
A large part of the collection has not yet been translated, leaving researchers in the dark about what they might contain.
“A large part of the texts are still unpublished. Texts about medicine, botany, astronomy, astrology, and other sciences practiced in Ancient Egypt,” says Egyptologist Kim Ryholt, Head of the Carlsberg Papyrus Collection at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
An international team of researchers are now translating the previously unexplored texts, which according to one of the researchers, contain new and exciting insights into Ancient Egypt. Read more.
Some moody shots from Black Canyon National Park, Colorado. First day shooting on the trip. Fall colors were late, but the storms made for some interesting shooting. lol More shots in my next post. 🙂
The “friend” is talking again. The problem is not only her family won’t stfu.
Yep. This is not a good look either. They are all horrible people and the worst part is that they are all horrible IN THE SAME WAY and they don’t seem to realize it. You can tell that they are all related.
Some crazy lady was going to cut your heart out and you wanted more specific instructions? Perhaps you’d want it in writing! Or a diagram, maybe!

When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.
Basically Alexandra and Magnus aren’t middle names, they’re given names just like Ingrid and Sverre. Norway has a different system of naming from other countries. They don’t really use middle names. A middle name is generally something that would be a surname but isn’t used as a surname. So for example Mette Marit’s son Marius has the middle name Borg which is his father’s surname. So those names are just additional given names. It’s the same with their aunt, Martha Louise. They could choose to drop their second given names if they want to but there’s no indication of that yet.
I second that. However, Haakon was christened for Haakon Magnus but it was stressed in the announcement that he would go by the name Haakon, while nothing of sort was said for Ingrid, Sverre or Märtha. I think it’s interesting that Sverre Magnus actually goes by Magnus in the family and from what I’ve learned all other members go by their first names. I can’t say the same for Mette-Marit but I *feel* like she is refered as Mette or Mette-Marit and not Marit (based on the fact that that is her mother’s name).
I think that if/once (we don’t know the future) Ingrid becomes a crown princess or a queen, she will go by Ingrid only. That is my assumption bc she’s usually called just Ingrid. But we’ll have to wait and see.

Tumblr has been doing a purge of blogs in the last two days, reading around posts i found that both Backgrid and now SplashNews are using a third party reverse image system for their pics and then reporting for copyright to tumblr so PLEASE PLEASE if you ever posted pap pics or event pics go now and PUT YOUR BLOG UNDER PASSWORD and delete everything!!!!!! Do it before they get to you and terminate you, bc trying to get a blog back is hard and tumblr might not give it back even if you argue and argue with them! PLEASE be safe and don’t let your hard work get deleted!!
and another thing: go to the settings of your blog and scroll down to visibility and turn on the ‘hide your blog from search engines’ button! that way you will be harder to find on all search engines, its not much but it could really help!!
NOT JUST THAT!
Check off everything! If you hide the blog and make it only viewable over the dashboard NO REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH CAN SEE YOUR PICTURES!
And the explicit one makes it even HARDER to search your posts because it HAS to be someone, who is logged in to see your posts. SO REVERSE IMAGE AND LOGGED OUT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING.
I tried it out on this website and made one small blog visible for EVERYONE, search results, outside of Tumblr, logged out and it SHOWED IMMEDIATELY my original posts. Then I checked off everything made it hidden and it couldn’t find anything. It took like a looooooot of time and I was worried at first that they got it and are searching it now and terminating it but my settings made it impossible for that search engine to even find these posts I have on my blog.
So, honestly, you don’t have to password protect your blogs. You can check off everything and it will take A LOT OT TIME to even search those posts..maybe even make it impossible to find them at all.
Try it out and if you still get terminated, please let me know!! Thanks!
an incredible number of blogs have been terminated in the past few days for copyright violation. they were targeted for posting edits (photos) of celebrities – mostly candids and event photos. people have been issued DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown notices via email as tumblr is supposed to have a three strike copyright violation policy – although i have heard from some people that they were not given any strikes and were terminated without warning.
Several news and photo agencies have enlisted the services of a third party agency called Okularity which uses advanced image recognition software to identify edits that people have posted on tumblr which use copyrighted material. Tumblr is taking immediate action to terminate these blogs to protect their own asses as they are protected by a tiny little loophole in the DMCA. the DMCA protects web hosts and websites like Facebook, Twitter, etc… as long as they comply with DMCA notices and make reasonable efforts to stop copyright infringement. this protects them from being slammed with the infringement lawsuits themselves.
Again, as long as the edits aren’t a direct copy and something is changed, they’re protected by free use.
But free use has been fucked over in recent years.
this is something that i have been thinking on. there is, in fact, a doctrine in the United States copyright law called “Fair Use” which allows people to use others’ content without permission. It allows the limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the copyright owner. Items considered Fair Use would be commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, photos, teaching or scholarship. The Fair Use Doctrine provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another person’s work under a four-factor balancing test. These four factors are:
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
This is important because if a smaller photo of some photo agency is used or a few words out of an entire document is used this could fall under Fair Use depending on the site and the use. If someone were to take a paragraph of your work, or a site has copied your entire site or pictures, and they run a business profiting from your copyrighted work, then most likely its copyright infringement. It seems like it would be very obvious when you see how work is being used on Tumblr that the content is being used under the Fair Use criteria because it: isn’t being monetized; the potential market of the copyrighted work is not really effected; and there’s something to be said for the nature of the copyrighted work and how the photos themselves are somewhat morally grey (taken without consent). The problem truly is that as soon as Tumblr receives a DMCA takedown notice, they would rather immediately cover their own asses and terminate a blog/give a strike than deal with any nuance.
i’m not defending agencies but i totally get what’s going on. the problem is not on people posting candids, but how they are managing to get these photos. some people have not so legal ways to get these images. and if you don’t understant, these kind of photos cost A LOT of money to be bought on agencies sites. i’m not saying it’s right because they are profiting over ppl’s lives, but that’s how it works. theses photos cost A LOT and people have found ways to have direct access to them. the problem is not tumblr users posting candids, but people that have been providing ways to get these pics without paying the right amount to the photographers/agencies. that way, other people from the paparazzi business, like sites and magazines, have a way to get access to the same photos for a low price. so of course agencies are trying to find a way to stop this and they’re basically shooting everywhere cause its probably something out of control and tumblr users are the ones paying the price now
If your main blog gets terminated, then all your sideblogs go, no matter if you are a member or an admin.
If you get warnings for your sideblog then only the sideblog gets terminated.
Notes or no notes, if you have posted anything from the above category, it will be flagged.
It’s not limited only to the United States, it’s happening internationally.
If your edit is a part of a larger graphic and different form the original offending photo you’re probably safe.
It’s not limited to one fandom, everyone is being effected from Marvel, to Musicians, to WWE, EVERYONE.
Protective Measures:
The best option so far is to delete any photos you posted (POSTED, not reblogged).
Like I mentioned above it was limited to only paparazzi photos but now it’s rumoured to be extended to everything that was not posted by the celebrity themselves.
If you’re very attached to your edit, changing the post to “private” may help (but probably not for very long.)
You can also take a backup of your blog by going to tumblr.com/settings/blog/your url and clicking on Export at the bottom of the page.
@captainevanss has answered many asks on this, please go through her blog before sending another ask, she has answered every possible question there is.
Future Blogging:
If you post photos in future remember to save it as a new post and remove existing EXIF details before posting through third party apps (via @tessathompsson)

Oh. My. God. This drama is so freaking crazy. This is all bs, of course, because it was A SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT. It’s brilliant that she credited her dad, though.
It’s what everyone does in a divorce. The wealthier, non-custodial parent uses money to gain more access to the children and the less wealthy custodial parent uses the children to get more money.
The weird part, imo, is that Angelina is acting like someone who is really short on money. I’d heard rumors about her out-of-control spending, but I was skeptical. I guess the rumors were right.
And I have no doubt this is one of the reasons why Laura Wasser quit being AJ’s lawyer.
