Wow I wonder what prompted Dave Grohl to take a little swipe at Taylor Swift? I’m sure it’s totally unprovoked & not at all to do with his 17-year-old daughter being relentlessly trolled & sent death threats from Swifties because of this totally innocuous tweet back in January.

I might have to tap out of this whole Kate Middleton thing because I genuinely, hand on heart, do not think these pics look like the same woman & it’s making me feel like I’m losing my mind. Like, I’m not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but that is not her??

After the lonely, cruel, and frankly disgustingly public way that 12-year-old Prince Harry was forced to deal with the grief of losing his mother, I for one am glad that he has somebody who isn’t afraid to hold his hand and show him comfort & compassion this time around.

Can not handle the second-hand embarrassment of Olivia Wilde obviously doing her interview before Florence Pugh's one came out & fully proving her point about her being entirely focused on the sex scenes. Like, Olivia talks so much about the sex in DWD it's in Variety's URL.

To me, someone hating Meghan Markle is the equivalent of them waving a massive red flag while wearing a sign that reads: 'I lack critical thinking skills and blindly believe every bit of venom the right-wing media feeds me... Or I'm a massive racist & misogynist.' Nothing less.

Of course being in a relationship with an international popstar isn’t a reason to be targeted with hate & vitriol. But being in a relationship with an international popstar also doesn’t exempt you from being held accountable for problematic behaviour.

It's important to flag that, judging by the twist/ movie's concept, it's impossible for Florence's character to have informed consent in these sex scenes, so hyper-fixating on them and selling them as female pleasure is incrediblyyyy problematic.

It’s genuinely so scary that hating Meghan Markle has become so normalised that certain men feel they can brazenly & proudly expose their misogyny & violent fantasies against women with little consequence. In fact, they expect a pat on the back. A scary insight into dark minds.

To not even let him pay for his family’s police protection is so sinister. The fact is, he was born into a title that he never asked for and the huge risk is a direct result of that - completely regardless of his current role. Has Prince Andrew’s protection also been taken away?
