hey guys, updating a bit. life is still shit, job situation is… bad to say the least, what with my absolute need to also finish my uni education this same year, and my income is still second to none with growing debts.

i am THE MOST THANKFUL to everyone who helped me a few months ago, honestly, guys, you are all kind beyond belief and it all really really helped, i’m so grateful i don’t know how to express it, never been good at things like that.

still, i’m gonna have to continue asking. if any of you would consider to donate even the smallest amount of money here - paypal.me/howdareyoulouis - i will be grateful forever.

please reblog, thank you very much

and i’m sorry again because i know how posts like this can be annoying, but if i had more options, i would never bring back this topic, i hope you know that

LISTEN AGAIN: Callum Gallacher speaks to Louis Tomlinson

And don’t worry Larries…he asked about his music!

Earlier today we posted that Louis Tomlinson would be on the show, talking about The X Factor and baby Freddie - something we thought would melt hearts and create excitement across the country. Which it did, for some fans. But also created some agressive demands to the tune of “TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC!”

Wow, wow, wow, fandom. Don’t be so quick to jump on us! Yes we wanted to talk about X Factor and wee Freddie, but we care about the music too. We cover all bases here!

So here it is, Louis Tomlinson talking to Callum Gallacher about HIS MUSIC, his baby, HIS ALBUM, his X Factor performance, HIS TOUR and more.

He also takes a spin on Screenshot Roulette (and don’t pretend you’re not interested in that!

No, it hasn’t! I think this is my new normal. I’m just figuring out what that means for me as we go along.

I don't even like WWII movies and I don't really have strong feelings about Nolan one way or the other. I had zero intentions to see the movie, assuming that Harry's scenes would all hit my dash anyway. But when the trailer dropped I actually became kind of interested? I think it looks good and that story is not one I've heard about (although I would still prefer WWII epics centered on people who aren't white straight men bc they exist as well) but I'm intrigued! I will probably go see it!

Ooh look a good testimonial!

I do agree. Easy to mishear especially if you’re primed to hear ‘fucked’ but listening to it repeatedly, I think it’s 'loved’

Right? I made my gifset based one one video, and when I’d listened to five others my opinion had changed. I highly recommend watching video for oneself, and coming to one’s own conclusions. Don’t take a gif-maker’s/other blogger’s word for it!

Birmingham OTRA: Resources for Sexual Abuse Survivors

There have been multiple and consistent accounts that members of One Direction’s staff and entourage have been sexually coercive towards fans (including minors). One Direction fans, like all teenage girls, are made more vulnerable by wider social attitudes that teenage girls are there to be exploited and dismissed. Fans can share information so that if anyone is assaulted, abused or coerced, they know where to find support.

One Direction’s next concerts are in London 24-26 and 28-30 September.

The rape and sexual violence project prove support accross Birmingham and Solihull; their website is here

Rape Crisis South London run a national helpline: 0808 802 9999. It is open 12:00 – 14:30 and 19:00 – 21:30.

Broken Rainbow provide services to LGBT survivors of intimate violence. Their website is here

Important Note: In researching this post I have found mixed reports about transphobia and UK rape crisis service.  Broken Rainbow have a trans specific helpline 1-5pm on Tuesdays  0800 999 5428.  A post on this issue suggested that Coventry rape crisis was trans-inclusive; their website is here.

If you live outside of Birmingham, Rape Crisis England and Wales provide information about services near you.

Love and solidarity to all the One Direction fans who have experienced sexual abuse in any context. We are all worth fighting for.

(This post will be reblogged before each London show.  If you have additional information - particularly about the inclusivity of services please add to this post or message us with details).

Glasgow OTRA: Resources for Survivors

There have been multiple and consistent accounts that members of One Direction’s staff and entourage have been sexually coercive towards fans (including minors). One Direction fans, like all teenage girls, are made more vulnerable by wider social attitudes that teenage girls are there to be exploited and dismissed. Fans can share information so that if anyone is assaulted, abused or coerced, they know where to find support.

One Direction’s next concerts are in Glassgow 7 and 8 October.

Rape Crisis Glasgow website is here.  Their free phone number is  08088 00 00 14.

Broken Rainbow provide services to LGBT survivors of intimate violence. Their website is here. They have a hotline and online chat. Other support services for LGBT youth are listed here.

Amina: The Muslim Women’s Resource Centre run a helpline from 10am-4pm Monday to Friday 0808 801 0301.  Their website has more information.

Rape Crisis Scotland offers a helpline from 6pm to midnight everday:  08088 01 03 02. Their website details their full services and information about services outside of Glasgow.

Important Note: In researching this post I have found mixed reports about transphobia and UK rape crisis service. The Scottish National Service explicitly mentions resources for Trans people and would probably be a better starting point than Glasgow rape crisis. Broken Rainbow have a trans specific helpline 1-5pm on Tuesdays  0800 999 5428.  

Love and solidarity to all the One Direction fans who have experienced sexual abuse in any context. We are all worth fighting for.

Dear 1DHQ

It’s a new week and there are still unaddressed accusations against your staff and friends of sexual manipulation of minors and young women. 

What’s your plan here? Are you investigating? are you firing? Are you limiting friend’s access to fans? Give some indication that you’re not sweeping this under the rug like everything else and I’ll stop mentioning it on a routine basis.

Given these accusations and the prevalence of sexual assault: Can we build a resource list for survivors of sexual assault? Reply/Reblog/Message me with contact info for an organization and I’ll start compiling it together in a masterpost, please add the region that can most directly be helped by each particular resource. 

@1DHQ, you really fucking need to give answers on this. Why are there repeated reports of sexual violence against young women at your shows by friends of the band? Why have you shown no interest in investigating and stopping this violence? Is it that you don’t care if your shows are safe for women? The majority of your audience. Are you comfortable knowing that they’re not that likely to come forward because they’re shamed into silence and blamed for the violence perpetrated against them? 

How the fuck do you sleep at night?
