Thandie Newton for Marie Claire Magazine, May 2019

The [Maeve] character’s arc hit close to home for Newton, who is a survivor of sexual abuse. One experience, which occurred when she was 22 and which she’s brought up in interviews over the years, involved an unnamed male director. He filmed her audition, during which he asked her to touch herself intimately—something that she agreed to because there was a female casting director in the room. Years later, when Newton was in her 30s, she discovered the director had kept the audition tape and played it at poker games for other Hollywood insiders. When she began speaking out about this and other far worse abuse she has suffered, she was either ignored or disbelieved. And at the time it may have even cost her work. “I was very aware of the climate of sexual abuse that was going on around me, so I became the person you didn’t want to hire because I would call it out,” she says. “In retrospect, I can see many instances where not only would I not be employed, but other actors and actresses would not necessarily want to be associated with me.” Even people who were supposed to be on her side often told her to sit down.

Welcome back, Sio! It’s so good to see you on here again 😘 Hope you’re doing okay and working remotely (with the school year upon us) 🤗

Thank you!! Our district is doing a hybrid model, so I’m not remote. Students come to school eithe Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday, and Wednesdays are virtual classes for everyone. I mean... it’s weird but at least I get to actually see my students??? I’m hanging tough. Life is so weird right now for everyone, but I’ve become oddly zen about it. My mantra for school is honestly “who fucking cares.” Other teachers have asked me how I plan to still cover all the content for my AP classes, and my answer was legit “who cares.” Worrying about stuff like that with everything else going on... that way lies madness! They followed up by asking what my learning goals WERE, if they weren’t exam prep. And my answer was, “um... TEACH THEM A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMISTRY.” Like, exam prep shouldn’t be our primary goal! So let’s learn some Chem this year and not give too much of a crap about teaching to an exam!

It’s been really soothing to get back on tumblr and fun to see al the amazing gifs again. It’s so nice to see you again too. ❤️❤️❤️

*hugs you real tight* would you please send this to the first 10 people in your dash? Make sure someone gets a hug today and stay safe!

☕️ live-action Disney remakes

I thought Dumbo was pretty bad but the rest have been decent. It’s fun to see a new take on a story that you already know, kind of like getting multiple adaptations of classics. However I do think it’s indicative of a pretty pathetic lack of originality in the entertainment industry as a whole and of course Disney’s near monopolistic power is very bad. 

pretty self-explanatory, right? 13k following this blog, that’s insane! i’m very grateful to everyone, thanks for sticking around (especially through the years, that’s so cool!), encouraging me to stay on this site, supporting my creations and giving the loveliest feedback! and though it’s my birthday today, it’s you guys i’d like to celebrate. mutuals to be friends with, if to rephrase. 🧡 i’ve had this idea for some time, and 13 on 13 is an opportunity i didn’t want to miss! this year wasn’t an easy one for me, marked with the hardest personal loss. i’ve been in a very dark place for months, and your support was one of the things that made it more bearable for me. i'm grateful for the overwhelming amount of kindness and empathy i’ve received during this time. this blog’s recent «termination» was yet another telling moment. all the consolation and encouragement you've given me during these 4 days... just incredible, it melted my heart! truly the best mutuals i have, let me say that — the most caring, generous, empathetic... and utterly talented as well 😍 i’m lucky to have you guys! if it’s one thing that tumblr’s good at, it’s definitely building a community. even despite its ongoing «novations» that make this site impossible to use, the community still stands. and lastly, thank you all so much for the sweetest birthday wishes! i've had an amazing day indeed 💫

so, without any further ado:

wow so can we give ourselves a round of applause for making it through the shitfest that was 2020? i mean, i could not be happier that this year is ending. i know we’ve all been through a lot but coming on here, especially during lockdown, really has been one of the bright spots for me. even after 12 years on this hellsite, y’all continue to amaze me every single day with your creativity and make this one of the best websites to escape to, even if it’s a hot mess sometimes. your incredible gifsets and graphics, funny text posts, and lovely messages are what make me want to keep logging on day after day. i know it’s not the same as years past, but this site would be nothing without all of you, you all make my dashboard gorgeous and you inspire me all the time. now, i know i don’t talk to all of you or know a lot of you personally, but i want you to know that i appreciate you and i can’t even begin to express how grateful i am for you guys. every single one of you mean the world to me, and i truly hope and pray that 2021 is good to you. so before i really start rambling on and on, i present to you my list of fabulous blogs who made my tumblr experience incredible this year!

Today is my birthday (I made it through another year 😂) and last week I got to 10 thousand followers. Hundreds of p*rn bots blocked later, here we are. I know this app is really weird at times but it’s still a place where we can all be weird together. Thank you for all who have been with me, some since the very beginning. Tumbr has allowed me to meet amazing and caring people who I’m so proud to call FRIEND. I love and cherish you all very much. ❤️  Below is the list of ppl who have made this journey all the more beautiful.   ❤️
