Don't stop talking about them. We need to be their voice.
Inspired by the amazing poem by dana
I might be having a real unpopular opinion here, but Rowena’s death scene was pretty boss. Her whole speech about not loving anything enough to take her own life and all that? That was amazing.
And her, “that’s my boy.”
It was amazing.
Ruth and Jared played it so well without it becoming too melodramatic. And it wasn’t some cheap, overshadowed,”we’re only going to show how the death affects the main characters” spiel they’ve been doing while fridging women the whole time.
I’d rather her be alive, but if nothing else, that’s how to write a better death scene.

David O'Sullivan has been a London bus driver and tube worker for 30 years. His company has just sacked him for standing up for his colleagues' health and safety rights during the pandemic.
The fatality rate for London bus drivers is almost three times the national average and Britain has been one of the worst-affected countries during the pandemic.
In January, Dave asserted the rights of himself and his colleagues to a safe workplace. This is covered by Section 44 of the Employment Rights Act (1996). When he warned his colleagues about the spread of COVID-19 at the bus garage and informed them of their rights under the Act, he was sacked.
The union colluded with management in the sacking.
Because of serious safety breaches by management, Dave and his colleagues had already written to the company's Managing Director, the London Deputy Mayor for Transport, and Unite the Union officials. They were ignored.
Section 44 gives all employees the right to refuse to work “in circumstances of danger which the employee reasonably believes to be serious and imminent”. Employees can remove themselves until “appropriate steps” are taken “to protect themselves or other persons in danger.”
All British workers have this right.
Dave's claim against Metroline is a test case for the rights of key workers during the pandemic. Please don't let the legal system force key workers into yet more unsafe conditions!
Dave has evidence. He has secured legal advice. What he and London bus drivers need now is your support.

Carol saying “I don’t have anything to prove to you.” meant so much to me because she literally had been told all the way through the movie, by a man, that she was too emotional. And she just totally disregards him and uses her anger and throws him away (literally) because she doesn’t owe him shit and she’s more powerful, so why should she fight with one hand tied behind her back?
i love jack and i want him back but i also love the demon
The messier Carol’s hair got in Captain Marvel, the harder my gay was to contain.
The British public: I can ignore mass sleaze, corruption, homophobia, sexism, blaming the victims of Grenfell tower, letting migrants drown and then criminalising lifeboats forming trying to save them, criminalising basically any form of political protest by banning any “annoying protests”, constant breaking of own COVID rules, not taking action against the systematic and violent misogyny in the police force, mismanaging the pandemic so that the country had the worst death count in Europe, the prime minister saying “let the bodies pile up in their thousands”, a terrible brexit deal, caring more about statues than BLM protesters, consistently voting to starve children, profiting of Saudi Arabia’s war crimes in Yemen, constant breaking of international law, lying to illegally pirogue parliament, still illegally occupying the Chagos islands, tax evasion, the foreign secretary holidaying while hundreds die in Afghanistan, literal eugenics from a political advisor, breaking international human rights laws with a bill that enables the government to revoke the right of Citizenship of immigrants arbitrarily but I draw the line at having an office party when I wasn’t allowed to.
