God I wish society put as much emphasis on platonic love as it does on romantic/sexual love.
Having a squish on someone is just as big of a deal as having a crush on someone. Getting rejected by a friend or QP is fucking painful. You can be madly in love with someone without it being at all romantic or sexual.
“I’m inspired by strong women. I didn’t work with her exactly, but meeting J.K. Rowling and being around her on set sometimes was amazing because she is such a powerful, inspiring lady. She has contributed so much to art, literature and humanity and still has not tired of striving to make a better world for people in less fortunate situations, both through her talent and her voice.”

“This is how thoroughly we women have been sexualized, that we cannot make the kind of noises that come with physical exertion without it being associated with sex. In fact, everything about our bodies has been sexualized in one way or another. If we groan during sport or we breast-feed in public, we are criticized for making people think about sex. If we talk openly about things like menstruation and poop and farts, then we are criticized for making people not want to think about sex.
Think about what it means to be ladylike and all of the adjectives that go along with it: elegant, cultured, classy, sophisticated. To be successful at being feminine means being successful at being private, keeping your body’s natural functions behind closed doors and never letting anyone know they exist. It means to be constrained, that you do not let your legs spread wide in public transportation and you do not make noises that are harsh on the ears. It means presenting a polished, shiny surface to the world at all times, one that allows others to project whatever they wish onto you while never showing too much of your true self.” —Women’s tennis and the gender politics of grunting « Fit and Feminist (via sexisnottheenemy)

Help find Ellie: little girl makes 999 call saying her Mummy had 'fallen down'
I heard on the news about a three year old girl called Ellie who made a 999 call after her Mummy ‘fell down’ and was not moving, but the emergency services were unable to trace the call.
What we know:
- Ellie is three years old
- Her house number is 23
- Her mother is called Stacey Hall
- The street name contains ‘Court’
- Her grandparents live in Bridlington, East Yorkshire.
Ellie’s mother may be in urgent need of medical attention as it has been 24 hours since the call was made.
Anyone with information is asked to call 0800 056 0944
Reblog to spread the word.
Even if you don’t live in the UK, your followers might. Please spread the word. Ellie is three years old and at the time of the call, she was trapped inside the house as she cannot open the doors. Both Ellie and her mother may be perfectly fine now, but they might not be, so the Police need to trace the family; they are doing all they can to track her down, but they need the public’s help, too. It has been twenty four hours.
