Me when Polyvore closed down: that’s sad for them but thank goodness I don’t have to go through a site I spend so much time on falling apart overnight

Me 7 months later:

“I’m sorry, but if you are born or married into the family after a country rids them as monarchs, then you don’t have a title! You’re no one, sorry to say, and you’re definitely not royalty. I’m sick of people thinking they are truly high class or a princess/prince, etc just because they are invited to a few events now and then and have a tiara in a storage garage somewhere. That doesn’t make you royal..“ – Submitted by Anonymous

Women come forward about past sexual assault and are asked why didn’t they come forward sooner, yet there are thousands of such instances involving boys molested by the church and their “motives” for coming forward years later are never questioned

I wasn’t referring to the stupid rules like cant wear pants, orange, wedges etc. I meant more in there attitude and the way they conduct themselves sometime. Respect is a two-way street. Meghan hasn’t shown any real respect to anyone but demands it for herself.

Yep.

Seven bits of advice from Kurt Vonnegut to people living 100 years in the future

jkottke:

In 1988, at the behest of Volkswagen, author Kurt Vonnegut wrote a letter of advice to people living on Earth 100 years in the future. In it, he urged people to live more in harmony with the natural world through these seven steps:

The sort of leaders we need now are not those who promise ultimate victory over Nature through perseverance in living as we do right now, but those with the courage and intelligence to present to the world what appears to be Nature’s stern but reasonable surrender terms:

1. Reduce and stabilize your population.
2. Stop poisoning the air, the water, and the topsoil.
3. Stop preparing for war and start dealing with your real problems.
4. Teach your kids, and yourselves, too, while you’re at it, how to inhabit a small planet without helping to kill it.
5. Stop thinking science can fix anything if you give it a trillion dollars.
6. Stop thinking your grandchildren will be OK no matter how wasteful or destructive you may be, since they can go to a nice new planet on a spaceship. That is really mean, and stupid.
7. And so on. Or else.

Don’t you think that all this negative press on her is only going to make it harder for Harry to walk away from her. He must feel bad that she is getting hounded he may even blame himself. if he dumps her now he will look even worse for not supporting her. It’s working in her favor so she may not care about the bad press she gets.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Maybe, I think he must have expected some kind of press backlash and he likely was, as you say, prepared to defend her.

But I suspect that he was expecting stuff about her nudes and family. I don’t think he was expecting the Diana 2.0 revelations, or the endless parade of people explaining how Meghan pursues people, uses them, and then ditches them once they are no longer of use to her.

The tabs aren’t building a “she’s inappropriate” narrative. They are building a “she’s using Harry for fame, the way she has used everyone else” storyline, and they have copious amounts of material backing them on this one.

I think, as you say, he was prepared to defend her. I don’t think he was prepared to look like a fool while doing it.
