"I know that if women wish to escape the stigma of husband-seeking, they must act and look like marble or clay - cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every appearance of feeling, of joy, sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are alike construed by the world into the attempt to hook a husband. Never mind! well-meaning women have their own consciences to comfort them after all. Do not, therefore, be too much afraid of showing yourself as you are, affectionate and good-heartened; do not too harshly repress sentiments and feelings excellent in themselves, because you fear that some puppy may fancy that you are letting them come out to fascinate him; do not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed too much animation some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine that you designed to dedicate your life to his inanity."

Charlotte Brontë writing to a friend who had been kind to a man she thought was married, only to have him fall in love with her because he thought she was flirting (letter dated April 2, 1845). (via feu-pale)

“some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine that you designed to dedicate your life to his inanity” amazing

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS FOR MINORS ON TUMBLR:

lilystarlace:

If you have the Calculator% app or any other hider app(things that hide apps and pictures), GET RID OF IT QUICKLY. This jackass district attorney has put the lives of a lot of teens in danger by revealing these apps to parents. Now parents everywhere are going through their kids’ phones, looking for trouble(which they’ll likely find). 

Closeted teens everywhere are likely in a lot of danger right now. If you use a hider app to hide resources or a diary or anything else, it’s very possible your family might find it. 

Please please help yourself and remove these apps immediately! Switch your SD card if you need to! 
I’m not even trying to scare people but I know that when I was a teen, had mom found my hider app I would have been in for a world of hurt. Please be safe!

Australian federal “border force” will be checking visas at random on the streets of Melbourne today. This is not a drill.

That’s right border force officers will be stopping people at random (I wonder what the people they stop will look like? HMMMMM probs not the British backpackers who are the biggest group breaching visa limits) in the streets to check their immigration status and visa conditions. This is a real thing that is actually happening in 2015 in Australia.

There’s a snap action against it at 2pm on the steps of Flinders st station and if you can be there, please come!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-08-28/border-force-to-check-visas-on-the-streets-of-melbourne/6732086

This is legit. This is not april fucking fools day.

… fuck them. My accent (upper class Australian) can sound british if I go fully posh. I’m not carrying ID this weekend.
Let’s see what they make of that.

https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/find-legal-answers/police-powers-and-your-rights/speaking-to-police

Know your rights.

This is good information.

Further to the stuff above

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ma1958118/s192a.html

The Migration Act 1958.

First of all, be polite. Carry a pen and paper and write down everything they say to you.

If stopped by border force, you do not have to ID yourself unless they actually have authorisation from a Senior Authorising Officer.

Request the name, ID number and home station of any officer who speaks to you. Then request that they provide an authorisation for requesting that you ID yourself.

The authorisation cannot come from the person who is asking you for your ID.

… be very polite and very wary.

There is a difference between police and these “Border Force” operators. Police have greater powers. If Police want your ID, as above: Pen and paper, write down their name, ID number, rank and place of duty.

They cannot request your ID without reasonable suspicion that you’ve been involved with a crime. Always be polite but:

They should tell you what they suspect that you’ve done before asking for your ID.

Be safe, peeps. This is not the country that I want to live in.

White people: we all know they’re gonna be racially profiling people whatever they’re saying to the contrary. The best thing that you can do is be a witness. Get it on your phone. Don’t let them get away with it.

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2015/08/28/protesters-target-operation-fortitude-press-conference

They’ve cancelled it, folks. They’re not going on with this. Because of “community backlash”.

We did this. We stopped it, goddamnit. No excuses, australia- we can change shit.

Apparently it was possibly the fastest shutdown of a government operation in Australian history. From go to whoa in less than 4 hours. Fuck yeah!

Calling Anyone Who Loves Music

whoopwhoopanditgoesyay:

hair-dye-and-lip-rings:

So me and cliffordsrsly have had a great idea. remember when Halsey tweeted this:

Well, we figured, why can’t we do that? So here’s presenting the Music Sanctuary! The description on our website best describes what we’re trying to do: “ Hello! We are Reagan and Mollie, two teenage girls with a dream to help other kids around our age who are struggling. We want to make a way for these kids who might be depressed or struggle with any mental illness, but are still alive and fighting because of a band or artist. We know that music can really influence someone’s life for the better, and we want to give these kids and teenagers the opportunity to meet these people who have influenced them that much.”

But, as we all know too well, none of this is free. We need some donations to kickstart this. We are going to contact some places to see if they want to sponsor us, but i don’t know how they’ll respond to two sixteen year old girls. 

If you want to donate, we have a gofundme here. If you want to visit our website/blog, you can here. If you want to contact us and find out more what we’re about, our email is contact.themusicsanctuary@gmail.com.

Even if you can’t donate, it would still be amazing if the word was spread. please tell people who could potentially donate. Help us make this dream a reality! 

And one last thing, this is for any artist. It’s not just for one particular genre of music. All kinds of music saves lives and we want to show the world.
