Ever find yourself waiting for the signal & meeting someone after dark & happening upon a majestic coven in the woods? Me neither but do you want your 🎶 to make you FEEL like that? Then the “willow moonlit witch version” is for you.
I saw everyone on twitter tearing Emma Watson apart for saying she’s self - partnered instead of single and decided to watch her interview for British Vogue to know what the hell was she trying to say with that. I was very surprised to find a 30 minute video in which amongst other things she talks about the following:
- She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.
- She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.
- She says there’s a desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how they profited from slavery.
- She felt anxious about approaching 30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and she’s still figuring her life out.
- She was so young when she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame more.
- The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.
- She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”
- She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.
- She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.
Every media outlet decided to focus in an out of context quote from the three minutes she talked about her dating life when the actual interview had a lot of depth and way more important things were discussed. I’m sad and angry but not surprised.
These are my favorite screencaps from silencer and I don’t even need to explain why
Luka getting akumatized because he hated the way that manager man treated Marinette right in front of his very eyes?
This one sentence pretty much sums up why you will be in for a feels trip in the [No Game No Life] movie.
Me, being the Scooby-Doo fanatic I am, decided to make a complete timeline of all the Scooby-Doo content that include the animated series, animated movies, live action films, and possibly the worst Scooby rendition which was the puppet movie all in chronological order. I wanted to show how the gang and the animation style had changed throughout the years, so enjoy!

- roads in edinburgh will close once a month to help pollution
- maine has banned styrofoam
- new york city and los angeles have both made “green new deals”
- The london marathon replaced 200,000 single use water bottles with seaweed water pods
- the bees in notre dame survived the fire, and the roof could possibly built in a more eco-friendly way.
- the population of flightless kakapos (a cool bird) is rising
- the carbon emissions in the uk are the lowest they’ve been since 1998
- Another large bee habitat (.5 mil acres) has been created
- there is a robot that delivers young coral to help repopulate the great barrier reef
- portugal plans to stop using plastic on fruit, vegetables, and bread by 2020
- 106 new species of bees have been discovered in australia since 2010
- a group of Sikhs plan to plant 1,000,000 trees as a gift to the earth
- disney has made a mickey-shaped solar farm
- Morgan freeman turned a 124 acre ranch in mississippi to a bee habitat
- China plans on making a “forest city” to help clean up their air
- An increasing amount of countries and states are beginning to ban single use plastics.
- A couple replanted a whole forest in brazil (2.7 mil trees) in 20 years, and the animals have come back to live there
- The hole in the ozone layer is repairing itself more each year
- China plans on spending 360 billion dollars to improve renewable energy and has scrapped plans for coal powered plants that were going to be built.
- A national park has been built in the amazon (3.3 mil acres in peru) to preserve the rainforest
- Ireland and the uk have declared a climate emergency
- The guy who played aquaman (jason momoa) has spent 31,000 dollars to help clean up plastic
- South korea is now recycling 95% of food waste
- There is a cleanup campaign being planned for mt. everest
- Puerto rico wants to use all renewable energy by 2050 and is setting official goals for that
- Some schools have special water bottle fill-up stations that encourage you to use refill and reuse plastic bottles rather than throwing them out after one use, these are becoming more common.
- 9 endangered species are thought to make a comeback this year
- 20 countries in africa are planning to make a “green wall” of trees and plants that will span the width of africa to stop desertification
- recently, a lot of volunteers and organizations are planting a ton of trees.
- Awareness about the environment and climate change is growing super fast right now among people and countries, which will only help us
- Most pollution is caused by like 100 companies, but a few of those (like pepsi) are trying to cut down on that.
if this stuff keeps happening things will get even better, and the only thing stopping us really are those big companies who don’t want to pay the money to switch to more eco-friendly energy sources. i know the media tends to cause fear and stress about this stuff for a lot of people, but there really is hope.
easy things we can do:
- Recycle
- Plant gardens in your yard for bees if you can
- Participate in community volunteer things that plant trees and gardens
- Theres this search engine called ecosia that plants a tree for every 45 searches you make, it has almost 2 mil users.
- Pick up trash if you see it when you’re at the beach or in nature
- If you have a fair amount of money, consider donating some to trustworthy environmental organizations
- Start using a reusable water bottle (like those ones at target) rather than relying on single use plastic ones.
- Cut the plastic rings on plastic milk bottles. You know, the little spiky plastic ring near the cap. Birds get those things stuck around their neck and die, so cut them so that they can’t get stuck on a neck.
- If you can afford it, get some of those reusable grocery bags and sue those. most grocery stores have them, and it saves a lot of waste.
I’ve been the archer
I’ve been the prey
Who could ever leave me darling…
But who could stay?
For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in. I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.
Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world. All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.
Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.
This is my worst case scenario. This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term ‘loyalty’ is clearly just a contractual concept. And when that man says ‘Music has value’, he means its value is beholden to men who had no part in creating it.
When I left my masters in Scott’s hands, I made peace with the fact that eventually he would sell them. Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter. Any time Scott Borchetta has heard the words ‘Scooter Braun’ escape my lips, it was when I was either crying or trying not to. He knew what he was doing; they both did. Controlling a woman who didn’t want to be associated with them. In perpetuity. That means forever.
Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott’s hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make.
I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23.
Sad and grossed out,
💔
