You can’t demand respect, Meghan – you have to earn it like Kate Middleton did
By Jane Moore
AFTER a decade of merely smiling enigmatically at peskily inquisitive reporters, Carole Middleton is suddenly singing like a hyperactive canary.
At the weekend she gave chapter and verse to a newspaper supplement on what Christmas will be like in the Middleton household, and now there she is beaming from the pages of December’s Good Housekeeping magazine while surrounded by festive props.

“I’m not a celebrity and don’t want to be one,” she once said. So why the apparent change of heart?
But as the fallout rumours are fairly recent and most glossy mags are laid out six weeks in advance, may I humbly/cynically (take your pick) suggest that the stall she’s laying out might be more monetary than motherly?
In other words, building up traffic to her and husband Michael’s Party Pieces website for Christmas in preparation for potentially flogging it off to an overseas billionaire in the pre-Brexit New Year.

But I digress. On Christmas Day I will be enduring (“enjoying”, surely? — Ed) our annual family fallout over a game of Monopoly. But if I wasn’t, I’d be straight round to Middleton Towers in Bucklebury, Berks, for what sounds like an idyllically festive few days.
In a Christmas walnutshell, it goes something like this: Wake up whenever, pop in to the local church, go for a walk, open a few pressies, smoked salmon and champagne for lunch, more pressies, some games, then the main meal early evening.
Oh, and all the grandchildren will have a small tree in their bedrooms that they can decorate themselves. The rest of the year, she says, “is really normal most of the time”. Which, to Prince William, who has grown up amid the pomp and circumstance of stuffy royal traditions, must feel like a slice of sheer heaven.
Instead, poor love, he and Kate are expected to join the rest of the royals (including Harry and Meghan) at Sandringham, where the Queen et al stick to the German tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Eve before dressing for a “formal dinner” from which, oh dear, the women eventually retire to another room while the men enjoy a port or brandy.

Then it’s off to the highly publicised visit to St Mary’s Magdalene church on Christmas morning, followed by a turkey lunch and a communal viewing of “Granny’s” speech at 3pm.
It’s unclear when William and Kate will head off to see her family, but what’s the betting they get in the car with fixed grins before mumbling “thank God that’s over for another year” the second they hit Norfolk’s A148? And that’s why, whatever the truth behind the rumours that Kate and Meghan aren’t getting on, it won’t matter one jot to the admirably grounded Duchess of Cambridge who, thanks to her idyllic childhood, knows exactly who she is.
Meghan, on the other hand, has no such cosy alternative to retreat to. Her parents divorced when she was just six years old and it’s no secret that she’s now estranged from her father Thomas and his highly vocal, deliciously off-message side of the family.
So, however well meaning she is, all her charitable grandstanding and repeated declarations of being “an independent woman” suggest she finds validation from being regarded as a, yawn, groundbreaking feminist role model rather than, as Kate is dismissed by some, a dutiful wife and mother, who toes the royal line and doesn’t make waves.

But Kate has no need to virtue signal because she’s rooted in the love and respect of her tight-knit family — a set-up she’s replicating with William, who, after his own fractured childhood, clearly adores the normality of life Chez Middleton.
And of course, they’re both equally secure in the knowledge that, post-“King Charles”, the top job is theirs.
Harry, on the other hand, has chosen a bride who, despite her efforts at reinvention, has a chequered past (join the club, dear) and a burning desire to be seen as more than just a pretty appendage to the sixth-in-line to the throne.
That’s understandable. But just like Kate did, it’s far better to quietly earn respect not noisily demand it.
Piers Morgan has invited Meghan Markle to make-up with him over drinks – despite labelling her a ‘social climber’ for blanking him when she met Prince Harry.
The Good Morning Britain presenter repeated criticism of the Duchess of Sussextoday, claiming she has ‘cut off’ people when she does not need them – or they could endanger her royal reputation.
Yesterday, Piers revealed the pair had been friends but he was ‘ghosted’ by the Suits actress who married Prince Harry in May.
Today, he continued criticism.
He said: ‘She knew I was a journalist when I followed her on Twitter she messaged me saying ‘I’m a big fan’.
‘I feel the pattern with Meghan – whether the ex being chopped of the family or the father whose been chopped – or me on a much smaller level– she called me a friend on Twitter – came to my pub drank my drinks and then… whoosh… gone.
‘She’s a bit of a cut and runner. She’s trying to protect the bigger prize
‘She wants important people. Now she’s best friends with Michelle Obama and the Clooneys.
‘None of the family allowed near her they might damage the brand
‘It was all a bit odd.’
Mr Morgan also said a mutual friend of theirs was encouraged to break off his relationship with the journalist.
Suits cast member, Rick Hoffman – who played Louis Litt – was also friends with Piers but soon stopped talking to him.
Mr Morgan said: ‘It wasn’t painful it was curious. It left be bemused.
‘We’d been corresponding with another guy from suits for a year or so and it’s weird behaviour.
‘Our mutual friend was also told to ghost me
‘He crawled out of the woodwork after the wedding
‘He said ‘I love you pal’.
Piers also invited Meghan to make up with him at his local – the Scarsdale Tavern in Kensington – close to her new home in Kensington Palace.
He said when they met there before she was unknown and asked him for advice with her media career.
He said: ‘Maybe she was on an inexorable charge to the top. I take people as I find them… Meghan is disappointing
‘When I knew her nobody knew who she was – she came to my pub and nobody knew who she was.
‘If she wants to come to my Christmas drinks, come on down.’
Writing for the Daily Mail Morgan said he packed Meghan off in a taxi the night she met Harry.
He wrote: ‘She spoke very candidly about her family – there were some private, sensitive things she told me I would never repeat because they were said in confidence – Donald Trump (she’s not a fan), and of course, Suits.
‘She asked me for advice on her career and the media, and if she could come on Good Morning Britain next time she was over, which I said I would arrange.
‘From the cab, Meghan sent me a series of texts thanking me and saying she was looking forward to meeting up again next time we were in the same city.
‘She even publicly tweeted about how nice it was to see her ‘friend’ – me – in London.
‘So at this point, I was indeed labouring under the massive misapprehension that we were friends.
‘I was wrong.
‘She met Prince Harry at the dinner that night, went on a solo date with him the next night, and I never heard from her again.
“I think I admire Kate most for the way she handled herself in the early years of dating William. It would be shocking and unnerving for any very young adult to be thrust into such an aggressive spotlight the way she was, and she handled it all with grace. I don’t know that I would have had such poise as people yelled “whore” and “bitch” at me just to get a picture.” – Anon
People forget she was just in her early 20s when the media hounding started. Diana was a royal bride at 19, Catherine was a royal girlfriend at 19. I still find it baffling at Catherine’s phone was hacked 115 times!

Rock Hudson lived a double life as a Hollywood heartthrob and a closeted gay man. He was a leading man in the 50’s and 60s, known as “The Beefcake.” Off screen, in his public life, he had to play the part of a heterosexual—or else his career would have been ruined. Biographer Mark Griffin says Hudson’s death from AIDS in 1985 was a turning point in public awareness of the epidemic. “Ironically, he was suddenly the hero of thousands of gay men,” Griffin says.
The collapse of civilization and the natural world is on the horizon, Sir David Attenborough has told the UN climate change summit in Poland.
The naturalist was chosen to represent the world’s people in addressing delegates of almost 200 nations who are in Katowice to negotiate how to turn pledges made in the 2015 Paris climate deal into reality.
As part of the UN’s people’s seat initiative, messages were gathered from all over the world to inform Attenborough’s address on Monday. “Right now we are facing a manmade disaster of global scale, our greatest threat in thousands of years: climate change,” he said. “If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.
“Do you not see what is going on around you?” asks one young man in a video message played as part of a montage to the delegates. “We are already seeing increased impacts of climate change in China,” says a young woman. Another woman, standing outside a building burned down by a wildfire, says: “This used to be my home.”
Attenborough said: “The world’s people have spoken. Time is running out. They want you, the decision-makers, to act now. Leaders of the world, you must lead. The continuation of civilizations and the natural world upon which we depend is in your hands.”
Attenborough urged everyone to use the UN’s new ActNow chatbot, designed to give people the power and knowledge to take personal action against climate change.
The COP24 summit was also addressed by António Guterres, the UN secretary-general. “Climate change is running faster than we are and we must catch up sooner rather than later before it is too late,” he said. “For many, people, regions and even countries, this is already a matter of life or death.”
Guterres said the two-week summit was the most important since Paris and that it must deliver firm funding commitments. “We have a collective responsibility to invest in averting global climate chaos,” he said.
He highlighted the opportunities of the green economy: “Climate action offers a compelling path to transform our world for the better. Governments and investors need to bet on the green economy, not the grey.”
Andrzej Duda, the president of Poland, spoke at the opening ceremony, saying the use of “efficient” coal technology was not contradictory to taking climate action. Poland generates 80% of its electricity from coal but has cut its carbon emissions by 30% since 1988 through better energy efficiency.
Friends of the Earth International said the sponsorship of the summit by a Polish coal company “raises the middle finger to the climate”.
A major goal for the Polish government at the summit is to promote a “just transition” for workers in fossil fuel industries into other jobs. “Safeguarding and creating sustainable employment and decent work are crucial to ensure public support for long-term emission reductions,” says a declaration that may be adopted at the summit and is supported by the EU.
In the run-up to the summit, Donald Trump expressed denial about climate change, while there were attacks on the UN process from Brazil’s incoming administration under Jair Bolsonaro.
Ricardo Navarro, of Friends of the Earth in El Salvador, said: “We must build an alternative future based on a just energy transformation. We face the threat of rightwing populist and climate-denying leaders further undermining climate protection and racing to exploit fossil fuels. We must resist.”
Another goal of the summit is for nations to increase their pledges to cut carbon emissions; currently, they are on target for a disastrous 3C of warming. The prime minister of Fiji, Frank Bainimarama, who led the 2017 UN climate summit, said his country had raised its ambitions. He told the summit: “If we can do it, you can do it.”
Recently, Tumblr was removed from the Apple app store due to an incident involving child pornography. This incident is incredibly unfortunate, but it doesn’t stand alone. Tumblr was also removed from the app store due to the large influx of porn bots and pornographic spam, users claiming to be proud to be pedophiles, blatant Nazism, racists who are not deleted for sending hate and harassing users, and more. I myself reported someone for harassing me, but because I had blocked the person and couldn’t access the messages where they harassed me, they were still able to send me anonymous asks. Your support staff, with back doors to the website (presumably), claimed they could not access the messages, and I was left SOL. Many features on this website do nothing to actually protect your users from harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Nazis, pedophiles, predators, porn bots, and more.
You claim in your statement to us that you “have been working on these problems for a long time”. This is blatantly untrue. Please do not lie to us and patronize us. We’ve been here. We’ve seen you do nothing over, and over, and over again.
We complained to you for months and months about the rampant porn bots, and you did nothing except add a report button on mobile which only reported sensitive content or spam at best. You could have addressed this problem with an effective algorithm, but you did not. We complained to you about being harassed and sent hate speech for being LGBT+, and you did nothing. We complained to you about blogs being randomly deleted, and sometimes you’ve restored them, other times you have not. We complained to you that there were people proudly claiming to be “Minor Attracted Persons”, or pedophiles, and you did nothing. We complained to you about people proudly claiming to be white supremacists, and you did nothing. All of these things are “against the community guidelines”, and yet over and over, you have not found effective ways to handle these problems or suppress the feeling of welcome that these users claim to get here. You have had a long time to work on these problems, but you haven’t addressed them. To say you have is untrue.
Multiple other social networking websites, such as WordPress, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others have effectively dealt with rampant pornography, racism, pedophilia, and other problems without causing massive issues for their users who are not misusing the platform. They are continuing to find new, effective ways to deal with these issues without causing problems for their userbase as a whole. There is no reason that you are unable to do this effectively other than that you wanted to do it quickly. You have once again chosen your stock holders over your users. And we have had enough.
You have already started to ban “Adult” content with a new algorithm. Here are screenshots of just a fraction of the posts you have flagged as containing adult content:
Your new system of simply tackling everything at once is not working. At all. And each of these screenshots is proof of your utter incompetence. None of these posts contain pornographic acts, “female nipples”, or any community violation of any kind.
We, the users, have been asking you for months to deal with these problems – particularly, the porn bots and bots that spam. In order to block a bot from a side blog, I have to do it manually, even though they are in my side blog’s feed. This is a huge issue for mobile – only users. They keep cropping up in droves, taking over our posts and tricking google into making it look like a legitimate blog linked to a pornographic website. We have complained to you for months and months now, and your solution to simply “ban all adult content” is ineffective. I agree that children should not be able to access pornography – but this is not how you tackle a porn bot problem. Your system is utterly useless, allows for racists, pedophiles, porn bots, and Nazis to remain untouched. It also harms sex workers and real people who may use this website for some forms of adult content responsibly. Moreover, as seen above, it harms plenty of users who have in no way violated your terms of service.
If you keep this up, you threaten your website and company as a whole. Many of us are backing up our blogs and planning places to go to.
You already have a content filter for “sensitive” content (content inappropriate for younger viewers). You could have improved this, instead of attacking your entire user base. It seems to be a very lazy “solution”, if you could call it one at all, and one that harms your entire userbase.
If you are going to keep this filter in place and make Tumblr, a website that has never been known for being family friendly and has never claimed to be, you are going to lose millions of your users. We are already planning our exodus. It isn’t hard to follow. Censor us, and we will go somewhere else. That is not a threat. It is a promise.

The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at a meeting of academics in London on Wednesday.
Pregnant Meghan, 37, visited King’s College London in an unannounced engagement, it emerged this evening.
The royal, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, joined academics for a round table discussion on how higher education can be used to tackle global issues like human trafficking, modern slavery and gender equality.
The Duchess looked polished yet relaxed in a simple short-sleeved fitted black sweater and kept a pen in hand as she jotted down notes in a notebook.
Meghan’s attendance at the meeting of The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) was not publicised ahead of time, as is the case with the majority of royal engagements.
The event was publicised after the fact when Laura Hammond, professor of development studies at SOAS University London, tweeted: ‘We had an excellent discussion about how research can tackle the problems of slavery and human trafficking. Thanks to HRH Duchess of Sussex for joining us!’
Her tweet was shared alongside a photo of Meghan, sitting at the head of a table and looking engaged as another attendee spoke.
The ACU said the event was an opportunity to explore how higher education can help build a better world.
Discussions focused on the role of universities in addressing human trafficking and modern slavery, gender equality and inclusion, peace and reconciliation, and climate change and resilience.
The event follows her speech to students at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji in October.
Meghan spoke at the time of her struggle to finance her higher education and her ‘personal feeling of pride and excitement’ when she studied for her degree.
She described the education of women and girls in developing countries as ‘vital’, and called higher education’s impact ‘incredible, impactful and pivotal’.
That looks like a fembot-glazed stare right there. Is she still awake? Her eyes look kind of…dead inside.
Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.
Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.
(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)
I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.
One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.
This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress
I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.
To break it down, just in case:
Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start
You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.
On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.
Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.
It will tell you if that option is still available for free.
Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.
Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!
The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.
Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers” at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.
Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.
You’ll have to allow WordPress permissions on your blog.
Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.
Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!
ALSO!!
I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.
This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.
To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.
tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.
I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.
Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!
But wait, the icing on the cake…
…really? Do i need even say anything.
since this place is going down the shitter, why not reblog this?
Here’s an extra layer of gross
I may be wearing a tin foil hat, but I think they purposely want to do stuff like pit BLM against White Supremacists. They see it as an opportunity to make money.
Just remember – for any of the blogs out there saying that this is coming from the Cambridges only – or that it’s completely made up, this was in THE TIMES this weekend. And THE TIMES doesn’t print anything royal without approval.
No the only reason Tumblr is doing this is because Apple took the app off the store and they were massively losing out. If they cared about child pornography they would have acted. They aren’t trying to take down extremism, they aren’t doing more than the bare minimum to deal with mental health, because there’s no financial penalty to allowing those things. They’re acting on this in a rash and unprofessional manner- not going through proper testing protocols- because they’re desperate to recover their income. That’s why they’re doing this. And as I said yesterday, it’s like saying that we should stop child abuse by not having any more children. Flagging innocuous pictures of frogs and sewing patterns (all true things that have been tagged) is not an effective way to tackle child exploitation on this website
Same thing for me too. Last night it started with my reblogs not showing up on my blog. Now nothing new will show up on my blog, even an ask I answered.
QUICK UPDATE ON BRF THIS WEEK TAROT READING – DECEMBER 4TH, 2018 (EDITED)
Some of you guys asked for an update on this so I did it. I just asked what was in store for them this week and going into next. Asked the cards to focus on whoever they wanted and of course H&M came up, so here we go.
“What is in store for the BRF this week and/or week after?”
Knight of Pentacles Rx (Harry) – popped out while shuffling
(Eight of Cups; Star; Lovers; Six of Wands; High Priestess Rx; Three of Pentacles; Five of Pentacles Rx; World Rx; Knight of Wands Rx (Meghan); Moon Rx;)
Get this..
Queen of Wands (Meghan), Three of Swords, Ten of Swords – Top of the Deck
Hierophant Rx (monarchy/marriage card – Bottom of the Deck
So not good energy at all for them this week.
I think the #HarkleHell is beginning (courtesy of Wempy for that term). Harry and Meghan both popped up reversed in the spread, with Meghan getting the worse card of them all (Lovers/Eight of Cups).
I think that victorious, “sugary” articles that were all used to seeing is going away (Six of Wands/Eight of Cups). I think the “sparkle” (Star) that the #Harkles had before is fading dramatically (Star/Eight of Cups).
There’s been this consensus that the #Harkles will get everything they want and still win regardless of their doings but that is not the case anymore baby, at all (Six of Wands/Eight of Cups).
Literally lower your expectations because the World has changed and things have flipped (World Rx).
More things will be revealed (HP Rx/Moon Rx) that will make the light and hope that these two will work out gone (Star/Eight of Cups) and as a result plans will be made accordingly (Three of Pentacles Rx).
I feel like this week someone in the family loses hope and all faith and heart is no longer invested in trying to help them or make the #Harkles look good anymore (HP Rx/Star/Eight of Cups).
Their is a false ally somewhere leaking info on them (HP Rx/Star).
Some cards could also be relating to the pregnancy and something happening this week regarding it (Star/Eight of Cups/HP Rx/Moon Rx). Bad things, lots of bad fertility/pregnancy cards showing up.
Harry and Meghan start really losing this week (Lovers/Eight of Cups) and the palace is relying on William and Kate more it seems (Lovers/Three of Pentacles) to hold down the fort.
Something’s about to be exposed y’all, I’m telling you (Moon Rx/HP Rx). Something’s happening soon with the press y’all (Three of Pentacles/Eight of Cups). Literally World is turned upside down this week or is about to me probably this month (World Rx).
Probably another story about Kate and Meghan not getting along (World Rx/Knight of Wands Rx) or something more being revealed there about their rift.
The belief, the hope, the good luck is out the window for some reason soon (Star/Eight of Cups).
Somebody might even just bail and walk away from it all (Star/Eight of Cups/Lovers). TRUST with these two (#Harkles), gone (Star/HP Rx).
The environment is just toxic for this family this week (World Rx/HP Rx).
Harry ends the week not that happy for some reason (Knight of Pentacles Rx).
Probably another charity involving the homeless or less fortunate coming up soon (Five of Pentacles Rx).
Something crazy might happen with a world leader as well, like just not good vibes for this week (World Rx).
Meghan does something stupid..again I feel (Knight of Wands Rx) but wrong time to do that hun.
Meghan might even start having some health issues soon (KnofWands Rx/Moon Rx/HP Rx). Like mentally just loses it and can’t handle it anymore (HP Rx).
Many more secrets coming out (Moon Rx) and someone gets depressed. Might be some lies told to cover it up and make it seem like it’s not bad but it is.
Not a good week for the monarchy or someone’s marriage (and I think we ca assume who) (Hierophant Rx).
Two people backstabb Meghan (Ten of Swords/Lovers/Three of Pentacles). Could be the two reporters I saw earlier. Meghan ends up hurt this week (QOW/Three of Swords). Something happens against her wishes and she feels powerless (Ten of Swords Rx). Straw that broke camel’s back if you catch me drift.

This will likely mark the first meeting between President Trump and the…

Royal sources say the duchess has been having meetings with a number of organisations and is still finalising which areas to work in and what charities to support as she moves on with her public work.
It is understood that she is particularly keen to support issues where she can work alongside her husband.
Aides hope to make an announcement about her first patronages in the new year, eight months after she joined the Royal Family.
Although it is considered quite a long time to wait before announcing her patronages, it is understood that Meghan wishes to ‘really get to know’ the organisations she wants to work with in order to make a ‘real and lasting’ difference.
