The Lady Beard: Hating gays is the dumbest thing

theladybeard:

I was telling my mother last night how I couldn’t cry anymore. Despite having many, many reasons to since coming back to this country, my tear ducts have dried up. Luckily, However, Tennessee lawmakers exist, and their hate is so palpable that not only have I cried, but my heart actually hurts.

Tennessee lawmakers are putting forward two bills, both with detrimental effects against an entire group of people.

I was searching through some of my first likes on Tumblr. I’m pretty sure this was from early 2009.

Letter Of Note of the Day: A slightly singed letter to Santa stashed inside a chimney by siblings a century ago was discovered by the Dublin man who currently lives in their former home.

“I want a baby doll and a waterproof with a hood and a pair of gloves and a toffee apple and a gold penny and a silver sixpence and a long toffee,” reads the letter penned in 1911 by brother and sister Alfred and Hannah Howard.

Homeowner John Byrne says he found the letter in 1992 on a shelf inside the fireplace, and has held onto it ever since.

The Irish Times reports that census records list three children as living in that house in 1911: 7-year-old Alfred (Fred), 10-year-old Hannah, and 13-year-old Lily. They were born in England to a plumber named Fred Hamer Howard and his wife, Mary Elizabeth.
