Speaking of IPSO and the Harkles.

When I read that original story on Pop Bitch re: the legal letter sent to them, one of the threats therein was that Harold firmly believed UK media is especially talented at creating tabloid frenzy even when subject is abroad so he warned them off Markle by saying that he would hold them responsible for any tabloid frenzy around her even if said frenzy was abroad and if it happened, he’d throw his royal weight behind those trying to curb press freedom. 

At the time, UK media was still under the cloud of the Levenson enquiry, and during the dating years, parliament was debating whether or not to curb press freedom. Remember, William had kicked the whole thing off and his royal status carried privilege so I guess Harold believed his status would do the same.

I watched both sides carefully, and saw how the media completely backed away from Markle during the dating years. This gave her free reign to spin positive stories pushing herself as the best thing that happened to Harold as well as being a humanitarian etc. The media didn’t tell the public anything about her. Stuff that was easy to find. She had such an easy ride that she got cocktails and thought this would be her future ride.

When she got engaged and everyone came out, the media presented them as attacking her and didn’t follow up on the meat of their revelations. Her own PR did this too. The public was given a one-sided story that made her accusers look like jealous harpies of this self-made millionaire, Hollywood actress who’d snagged our 12yr old Prince grown up to become happy, charming humanitarian and made him happy. Every wrong thing they did was presented as ‘thank goodness she escaped them’.

….but what about the Thomas Markle Snr picture debacle……I think ( personal opinion) this was a scandal that was a gift to Markle for something she’d already done, but perhaps didn’t have an easy way of presenting it to the public until fate intervened. 

Let’s go back to those parliamentary debates ( you can still find them on parliament’s webite). These rumbled on for 2yrs and had UK media spooked. Another of celebs got away with poor behaviour because the UK media took it easy in order to demonstrate to parliament that they could self-regulate via IPSO. 

The debates eventually came down to a vote. This happened 2weeks before the wedding.

Pop bitch later revealed that Harold continued to shower IPSO with threatening complaints even though the media was largely compliant. So the week of the final vote crossed with a letter he sent IPSO complaining about paps harassing Thomas for those pictures. 

The vote took place mid-week. UK media won the vote, cloud lifted.  And the DM’s weekend papers outed Thomas senior - a direct punch / response to Harold. Journalists regardless of their politics or outlet on twitter were collectively celebrating. The sentence that kept popping up that I recall was the idiocy of accusing the media of colluding to harass Thomas when he was actively colluding to release these pictures to the media to be published. 

Meghan responded as she did and came out of it smelling of roses. 

Since their marriage in 2018 through to Summer 2019, Harold showered IPSO with so many complaints that it is alleged the volume exceeded the collective complaints of entire royal family in 10yrs. And each new complaint brought diminishing returns.

By the summer of 2019, when he complained about the story in The Sun about Markle telling the residents of the Windsor Estates to refrain from talking or engaging with entire Sussex family - babies and dogs included, IPSO had enough. While The Sun volunteered to remove the story, IPSO largely ruled in it’s favour and delivered a verdict that was the equivalent of a limp slap on the wrist. 

This must have enraged Harold who was vacationing at Elton’s villa when the verdict came in. Seeing as he already wished to use his royal privilege to punish UK media, that ambulance chasing lawyer whispering in his ear must have seemed like God’s gift. 

By that September 2019, he’d launched the first of many lawsuits. And with the class action ones, it’s become transparently clear that he has thrown his lot in with that pressure group Hacked off/ bylines whose raison d'etre is to curb press freedom. It’s no coincidence that they aren’t signed upto IPSO. 

Harold hasn’t bothered IPSO since then. 

****

Some food for thought: Did Harry use the overturned IPSO request and his mother’s memory to manipulate Elton John into sharing his lawyer? Or did the lawyer use the overturned IPSO request and his mother’s memory to manipulate Harry into these lawsuits for a royal payday?

Re the Thomas Markle paparazzi scandal - I’m Team “Meghan totally set it up for her dad and was sweating bullets her involvement would leak out so Thomas orchestrated a heart attack to get the heat off her because she cried and knew just what to say.” Now, I do think Thomas really did have a health emergency, but I’m skeptical it was actually a heart attack. Maybe it was heart palpitations or bad enough anxiety that he thought it was a heart attack or terrible indigestion. So to get Meghan’s pity, he tells her it was a heart attack and she’s all “new phone, who dis” to him but simultaneously collapsing and sobbing to the palace about how her father is so ill she can’t possibly ask him to travel in case it makes him sicker.

Hi um, I’m seeing mu celeb sp soon and he’s very very famlus and many people want him (he’s in a big group) and no matter how much I affirm and cancel my doubts and negative thoughts I cannot feel like he’s already mine, I feel very anxious and that I’m gonna fuck everything up,

What do you think?

(I saw your post about celeb sps and thought I would ask you❤️)

Hey darling, first off, congrats on going to see him! It sounds super exciting 💕 let's see.

Starting off, as I said previously, being famous is part of his job, nothing wrong with it, proud of him! Using my example: If I like this girl, let's say 'Ana' (Im not good w coming up w names mb 😭) and she's a doctor. Would I ask 'Can I manifest Ana? she's a doctor.' NO I WOULND'T. Because whichever impressive things she's done as a doctor (earning a big paycheck, having a PhD, Saving lives, fucking create a new medicine) IT'S JUST PART OF HER JOB, all it means, is that she's doing a good job at it.

"famlus and many people want him (he’s in a big group)" That's okay! remember, this is YOUR reality, not theirs, you control what happens, not them. You're the operant power, the one who chooses.

Actually an excercise (cr: hyler, I think?) Deep breaths

1...

Inhale

2...

Exhale

3...

You're the operant power of your reality, you control what happens, okay?<3

And remember, it's okay to feel anxious, but let me tell you something, intrusive thoughts, or doubts don't manifest!

Because they're not your DOMINANT thoughts. They're thoughts that come and pass, remember to do your best not to dwell on them though!! You don't neccesarily have to believe 'he's already mine¿, but rather affirm it.

-> Your mind tells you he's not yours? affirm that he is. -> A newspaper says gossip about him being interested in somone? yea thats you

-> you think he's not yours? yes he is! even if you don't believe it, say you do. And of course when something's going to happen soon I use affirmations as a safety net, so like, maybe you could do an affirming challenge of 1 week, or 3 days (depending on when you're going to see him.) Or maybe even the 10k challenge! (Also if you'd like to read my reminder about methods, read my other post: https://www.tumblr.com/malachitemischief101/754828769555087360/a-more-organized-less-angry-version-of-this-i) But remember:

-time does not determine when your desires arrive, you do.

-You're the operant power of your reality / god(ess) of your reality

-You're affirming to remind yourself!!

Sending much love! and try and do something to cope if you feel like you're really really anxious becaue remmeber, loa is supposed to be comfortable.!!!<3 apologies if this is too long sweetheart!! Success stories to motivate you (none mine!!!):

in one of your posts you wrote: „Comphet would be you not understanding what is attraction when it comes to men, it would be you feeling like puking by even thinking of being with men but still thinking you’re attracted to them. To make myself clear: the mere thought of being with a man sexually and being disgusted isn’t comphet, but if that thought still makes you question whether you’re attracted to men or not is.”

so if i was disgusted and not into dating men would that make me a lesbian? i struggle with understanding my attraction to men tbh, i feel like looking back on most of my male crushes (irl cause i rarely if ever like male celebs or fictional men) they feel fake like not real which i don’t really experience with my women crushes, but also i had like 3/4 crushes on women and non were recent. idk if that matters 😭

you’ve answered an ask from me before and i started to identify as a lesbian, and it feels weird, not in a sense that it feels wrong, just kinds weird, my brain is on a constant battle to prove that i like men and that i like that one guy (which idk. he’s cute and all but everything else about him is either a red flag or an ick, i really liked his style but now he’s basic af and i haven’t thought ab him much since summer started), im afraid im faking, im trying to watch more lesbian/wlw movies or read books or just in general associate myself with lesbian centric content, but it hasn’t been much of help? i feel like i have so much lesbophobia in me for no reason as of have nothing against other lesbians, i feel like i can say lesbian but to say it in mu native language feels dirty, i feel almost predatory for liking women (sexually specifically). anyways sorry for the long post and i hope u have a great day!!

Sexuality can be so difficult to label sometimes. I’ve seen a lot of bi sapphics share they’ve disgusted by men, but that’s mostly because a considerable amount of them are shitty, not because they aren’t attracted to them. It’s a different type of disgust ig.

In your case maybe it’s about understanding rather the disgust you feel is linked to lack of attraction to men or if it’s due to another reason that isn’t connected with attraction/sexuality.

What do you mean when you say the crushes you’ve had on men don’t feel real?

Have you tried talking with a bi sapphic? Sometimes it’s more helpful talking with someone who is attracted to men to understand if you like them or not.

That one guy you mentioned, what do you feel if you try imagining yourself romantically/sexually involved with him? You said he’s a red flag, but if you pretend he’s nice, can you imagine yourself with him and feel something positive by that scenario? Or thinking about it is kinda neutral, like you just don’t care or don’t feel anything at all?

I don’t mind long asks :) I hope you have a nice day too!

70) Corvus typicus; Wrona białoszyja, piping crow (wrona rurowa) - gatunek średniej wielkości ptaka z rodziny krukowatych (Corvidae). Występuje w Indonezji, nie jest zagrożony wyginięciem. Wrona białoszyja zamieszkuje środkowy i południowy Celebes oraz mniejsze wyspy Muna i Buton.

Gatunek po raz pierwszy opisał w 1853 roku francuski ornitolog Karol Lucjan Bonaparte, nadając mu nazwę Gazzola typica. Jako miejsce typowe Bonaparte podał błędnie Nową Kaledonię (fr. Nouvelle Calédonie); niemiecki ornitolog Erwin Stresemann w 1953 roku określił lokalizację holotypu na wyspę Buton. C. typicus czasami umieszczany był w nieuznawanym obecnie rodzaju Nesocorax. Blisko spokrewniony z wroną jednobarwną (C. unicolor), do której jest podobny w budowie; do niedawna uważano, że obydwa gatunki należą do „grupy C. enca”, ale różnią się od tego taksonu swoim zachowaniem i odgłosami. Gatunek monotypowy.

Nazwa rodzajowa: łac.corvus – kruk (w legendach kruk był początkowy biały, ale pomimo jego rzekomego daru proroctwa, został zamieniony w czarnego ptaka z powodu jego zdrady). Epitet gatunkowy: łac. typicus – typowy, typ, od gr. τυπικος tupikos – typowy, zgodny z typem, od τυπος tupos – typ.

W Czerwonej księdze gatunków zagrożonych Międzynarodowej Unii Ochrony Przyrody został zaliczony do kategorii LC (ang.Least Concern – najmniejszej troski). Globalna wielkość populacji nie jest znana, ale gatunek wydaje się być lokalnie umiarkowanie pospolity. Występuje w wielu obszarach chronionych, w tym rezerwatach leśnych i parkach narodowych. Populacja wydaje się być stabilna ze względu na brak dowodów na jakiekolwiek spadki populacji lub inne istotne zagrożenia.

[missredherring]

Today is my birthday! And I have to go into work. I didn't take off today cos I'm taking off on Thursday so I don't have to reschedule my therapy appointment.

My brain a week ago: oh it's just a day, it doesn't rly matter.

My brain this morning:

I will be daydreaming about an incredibly self-indulgent scenario the entire day and no one can stop me.

Work is dumb.
