On being called a perfectionist: “I am proud to say I am. But there is no such thing as perfectionist, and I found that out when I was 15 years old…I wrote it in my journal, that perfection is imperfect. So it has that humanity, like human qualities. Otherwise it’s cold, right? You can just strive for perfection. Another word is excellence, to strive for excellence.”

This is how Ruth Davidson, prominent leader of the Scottish conservative political party, tells people she’ll be off Twitter for awhile. Wild.

TO ANYONE LIVING IN THE UK

There is a petition to try and call another referendum about the EU, with a rule asking for a 60% majority before a decision is made. Yes this is a shitty time, but hopefully there’s still a chance to fix things. The Leave campaign have already gone back on some of their promises before the referendum, so please, if you can, can you sign this? If we get 100 000 signatures parliament have to debate it, so please. Even if you’re not in the UK if you can share this to try and get it out there, that would be fantastic. Here’s the link:

Things people don’t realize:

- The pound is falling faster than it did in the financial crisis of 2008

- the EU is the UK’s biggest trading partner. Tomorrow, when the market opens, the prices WILL go up for British companies as the contracts with the EU will all be void.

- The UK does NOT have a private trading agreement with the US, and the US is currently ONLY working on fixing the deals with the EU

- if the pound keeps falling, the UK will be facing a SEVERE recession.

- This will have a LONG TERM effect on the UK’s GDP (it’s going to fall).

- this will rattle GLOBAL markets, meaning that this decision affects EVERYONE

And it now appears Leave will win, so this problem is probably about to happen.

So the older generation has voted for a future which the younger generation do not want even though we are the ones who going to have to pay the price.

uk side of tumblr are u ok

Tumblr tends to be very America-centric so can we just turn our eyes for a minute to the UK

Specifically to this woman. 

Earlier today, Jo Cox, a Labour MP in Northern England, was stabbed and shot at an event in a library. 

It has just been confirmed that she has died due to the attack. 

She was a great campaigner and humanitarian, and has left behind a husband and two children. 

This kind of event happens rarely in the UK, and so this is terrifying and destabilising that such a horrific thing has happened to such a compassionate person. 

Can thoughts on Tumblr turn to the UK today please, and turn to remember a woman who has been brutally murdered after a lifetime of trying to build a better country.
