The Wire

serene-quill:

It wasn’t a coat hanger. It was a wire.

The theory was that by inserting the wire through the cervix, moving it around a bit and then removing it, an infection would result and the pregnancy would be aborted. It worked. It was March 1967.

“Of course Tim [Burton] and I have kissed. I think every close friendship like ours can result in sexual tension at one point or another. We’d both had some wine but I remember the kiss well. It felt good.”

livefreeortour:

Six years ago, Cropper was found in the street after a fight with dogs.

Seriously injured and ill (toxoplasmosis), Cropper was nursed back to health by this man’s patience, love and determination.

Not strong enough to return to the wild, Cropper spends very happy days with his human friend.

Fox News Call Out Paul Ryan of the Day: Paul Ryan’s Wednesday night speech was a much-needed shot of adrenaline for an otherwise sleepy GOP convention, despite the fact that his remarks were chock-full of “brazen lies.”

But for Fox News to acknowledge Ryan’s inaccuracies — wow.

Sally Kohn’s piece, “Paul Ryan’s speech in 3 words,” calls the candidate’s remarks “dazzling,” but also “deceiving,” and “distracting”:

To anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech.

On set at Paper’s shoot, Miller races over to the racks of exclusively women’s clothing in which we’re going to shoot him. “Is this the height of fall fashion?” he asks the stylist, fingering a flattened felt suit by the avant-garde Japanese label Comme des Garçons whose built-in curves make it look borrowed from the wardrobe of an overweight paper doll. It is, she says. “Yesssssssssssss,” he hisses back. -Ezra Miller in Paper Magazine (x)

“Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic. We need to address real women with real needs.”

“

…It dawned on us that you can take any random group of girls and women, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them will have multiple stories of terrible things that were said to them and done to them on the street by strangers, as a matter of course. Just the normal state of affairs when you are out in public, being female. Like, we’re not special. This happens to everybody.

If you’re not a girl, you might be surprised to learn what all your female friends go through. It might help you understand why we don’t think it’s cute or cool or flattering to be hollered at, commented on, ogled, or groped as we just try to get from one place to another. This wasn’t a conversation we had for the public—this was just what came out when we talked about this stuff in private. Any girl you know can tell you her own horror stories, if you’re willing to listen.

I stumbled upon this article today that I think everyone should take some time to read it. There’s 417 comments on it and I read through all of the as well. The article itself isn’t too terrible long, but the comments help reinforce the message even more.

“The term “illegal immigrant” was first used in 1939 as a slur by the British toward Jews who were fleeing the Nazis and entering Palestine without authorization. Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel aptly said that “no human being is illegal.””
