#ViolaDavis’ new memoir #FindingMe was released April 26, and as with life, #forgiveness just might be what holds it all together.
The #Chicago Sun Times calls the memoir “Brutally #honest and honestly brutal,” likening Davis to “the victim of a disaster still dazed by the experience but remembering every terrible moment.”
Davis uses her memoir to detail her rise from poverty and other #trauma to emerge alive, intact, and #successful on the other side.
Growing up poor in Central Falls, #RhodeIsland, Davis was often so hungry she and her five siblings had to resort to dumpster-diving for food. School lunches were their only reliable meal. They lived in house that lacked reliable heat and plumbing, and was so rat-infested, she and her sisters tied bedsheets around their necks at night so the rats wouldn’t bite them. They often attended school unwashed, in dirty clothes.
Davis shared experiences of violence and #sexualabuse as children.
“Myself, my mother, my sisters… my friend from childhood, we all have one thing in common,” said Davis at a #RapeFoundation Event in 2020. “We are all #survivors of sexual assault in some way, shape or form.”
She then shared the #heartbreaking story of her sister, who was sexually assaulted at the age of 8. “My sister is now a heroin addict, she’s a prostitute,” she told the crowd. Davis also endured sexual abuse by boys who were supposed to be babysitters.
In addition to the sexual abuse and the poverty, Davis also had to cope with constant #bullying and terrorizing from a group of boys who chased her and threw rocks at her for being Black in the predominantly white town of #CentralFalls.
And if all that wasn’t already far more than enough, she experienced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her alcoholic father, Dan, who regularly beat her mother, Mae Alice. On one occasion, Davis’ father smashed a glass against her mother’s face until she intervened.
In her memoir, she opens up about how although forgiveness isn’t easy, it’s necessary to survival — just as it was necessary to hers. #SWIPE (for the rest) #SWIPELEFT

Miraculous Ladybug x Identity V: The Oletus manor diary of a ladybug: Chapter 6
Warning : English is not my first language so sorry if it’s confusing !
Warning 2 : This fanfic content salt if you don’t like don’t read !
Warning 3 : Reference to sexual assault.
Hey everyone! ^^ here’s the new chapter of “The Oletus manor diary of a ladybug”! :D
I know it’s was a long time since the last chapter and I’m really sorry about this, I had a bad writting block and was also busy with other writting works! ^^’
But I finally was able to finish this chapter so I hope you’ll all like it! ^^
—————————————————————–
23/04/2015, Oletus manor’s living room security camera :
The camera show the survivors and the hunters at the table, talking about their temporary ̎ young housemate ̎.
Kreacher Pierson(Awkwardly) : Sssoooo… This is the kid who will stay at the manor during the rainy season ?
Freddy Riley(sighing frustrated) : For the hundredth time Pierson, YES, this is the girl, YES, she will stay here and YES her stay will last at least for two weeks until this god forsaken storm stop ! Good lord ! Would it kill you to spend at least a few minutes without asking the same question over and over again ?
Kreacher Pierson(defensive) : Whoa ! Hold your horses ̎ mister lawyer ̎, I was just curious and confused, as everyone else is probably, I mean, our ̎ host ̎ permitting someone from the outside world, who wasn’t invited, to stay in the manor ? Come on ! Don’t tell me you didn’t find this strange ?
Vera Blair(ironic) : Right ! Because leaving this girl, sick, in a violent thunderstorm and risking to attract unwanted attention in the aftermath would have been the logical thing to do !
Kreacher Pierson(annoyed) : Ohoh ahah, very funny !
Mary(rolling her eyes) : As much I hate to admit it, Monsieur le Voleur does had a point it’s quite unusual for our ̎ host ̎ to letting someone from the outside world who was not invited to participate to the games to stay in the manor and to know about how things are going here this easely !
Naib Subedar(nobbed, arms crossed) : Yeah, this is really out of character for him when you see all the amount of precautions he’s taken to make sure to keep the games, and everything else in the manor, a secret.
Lucky Guy(frowning) : I don’t know, this guy is always so cryptic, who knows what’s going on in his head right now!
Andrew Kreiss(calmly stutters) : B-But shouldn’t we m-more wondering… w-what that girl was doing outside all alone?(slightly panics when the others looked at him) I-I mean this is strange right ? N-Normally a young girl of her age shouldn’t wander by herself in a forest this far from the town…
Jack(thinking) : An interesting question M.Gravekeeper! But I am sure some of us could had a theory on the matter since some seem to had recognised they young lady, am I right Miss Doctor, M. Embalmer?(throw an amused look at Emily and Aesop)
Aesop Carl(nervous) : Well… I did remember having met her, one time in town, she had an accident because of a drunk driver who were driving when the lights were red and nearly run her over, thank god the driver stopped before he could run her over, but since his car struck her a bit and she was in shock because of the accident, I helped her to go to the hospital.
Emily Dyer(frowning) : I made a check up on her and, thank god, she didn’t have any kind of injuries ! However I was shocked to learn that this poor girl end up in this accident because her whole class, the teacher included, left her behind when they were supposed to go to the museum.When her teacher come to pick her up she had the guts to scold her, when it was HER fault for leaving her behind in the first place, for, I quote, ̎ Having being irresponsible and bring problems to her and the class ̎ ! Absolutely revolting !
Emma Gardner(nobbing) : Oh yeah ! I remember you were ranting about it for hours when you came back after your shift !
Joseph Desaulniers(lift his head) : By any chance, is this class from France ?
Emily Dyer:(nob her head)
Joseph Desaulniers : Ah ! Then they’re without any doubt the class who came to the museum that day ! Since it was the anniversary of the town, the museum was quite busy with giving tours during the week and I remember that day Monsieur Lapadula and I were supposed to give a tour to a class from France and I remember they were… How do I put this politely ?
Burke Lapadula(interjecting grunchy) : A bunch of rude, noisy, bratty and messy worms !
Joseph Desaulniers(Carefully):It’s… A way to describe them, oui…
Burke Lapadula(Snorting) : A perfect description of them you mean Desaulniers ! Those brats were nothing but nuisances and without any manners ! First they made a scene at the front desk because they didn’t had the security codes to get the tickets, then the teacher left and came back moments later with the student who actually had the codes and her ̎ classmates ̎ ganged up on her about having ̎ stole Lali’s codes ̎ or whatever this girl’s name was !
And when, finally, Desaulniers and I were able to begin the tour, only a few of them were actually paying attention ! Most of them were busy listening the fibs of that Lali girl, during the whole tour she was always butting in to tell rubbish nonsense like she was the secret descendant of one of Eurydice’s founding fathers or how her too many great uncle/aunt/grandfather or whatever actually helped the creator of this machinery to create it or the other one or how one girl who was on one of the photos was a very distant family member of her and blablabla… URHG ! Disrespectful little twerps !
Martha Behamfil(Confused): They were making a mess and no one did a thing ? And their teacher ? I know from what Emily told us she doesn’t seem to be the teacher of the year but surely she would at least try to get her students to behave ?
Joseph Desaulniers(Hesitant) : Well…
Burke Lapadula(Angry) : Absolutely nothing ! She just stood there and looked at them like nothing was happening and constantly smiling like an idiot ! I wouldn’t even be surprised if this kid’s situation was because of this so called teacher’s incompetence !
Burke Lapadula kept on ranting with all the other hunters and survivors looking at him.
Demi Bourbon(Snorting) : Honestly I’m not surprised ! I saw this class at the café where I work at once and they tried to leave and make me believe that the classmate they left at one table will pay their bill, but I wasn’t born yesterday ! I saw them multiple times during the time they were at their table and the classmate in question was away from them at another table and not once they went to talk to her so I guessed they were trying to trick me into letting them leave without paying, so I kept them from leaving until they paid. They tried to change my mind, make me pity them, threaten me but I didn’t budge and they finally gave in when I gave them the ultimatum to either pay their bill or I was calling the police on them !
Kevin Ayuso(clear his throat) : Not that those ̎ work gossips ̎ aren’t entertaining but that doesn’t answer the main question here : what’s about this little lady for the manor’s owner to permit someone from the outside world to know how things are going here ?
Everyone is silent not knowing what to answer.
Hastur(silently laughing) : Oh she’s way more than meets the eye than you believe…
The rest turn their attention to Hastur, looking at the eldritch being, some uncertain, others wary.
Hastur(cryptic) : This is something I would rather let you find out yourself, but what I can tell you is this girl is connected to big forces ! But I am sure a few of you did notice it !(Give a quick look to Eli Clark and Patricia Dorval) But like I said this isn’t up to me to tell ! However if our ̎ host ̎ is taking this much precautions for the girl’s safety to the point of even taking the risk to tell her about the manor’s ways that mean he is also aware of the powerful forces in relation with this girl and of the possible consequences if anything should happen to her !
Unknown female voice : A good deduction lord Hastur !
The Hunters and the Survivors turn to see Miss Nightingale enter the room.
Miss Nightingale(formal) : Like Lord Hastur said, this girl is connected to big forces which are important for this world’s balance and so her safety is really important ! If anything tragic happened to her, the consequences may be disastrous ! That why the owner instructed me to insure her comfort and safety during her stay and to instruct you, particuliary for some of you, to be on your best behavior and to not let your ̎ shenanigans ̎ bother our guest !
Edgar Valden(grumbling and murmuring):Tss really ? Does he take us for children ?
Miss Nightingale(hear him, seriously) :I wouldn’t take this situation lightly M. Valden ! The owner takes this girl’s safety very seriously, messing with the forces connected to the girl aren’t a laughing matter, others had tried in the past and deeply paid the price !
Wu Chang:(silently nob in agreement the others didn’t notice it)
Luchino Diruse(skeptical) : How ̎ deeply ̎ are we talking ?
Miss Nightingale(listing) : The dinosaur’s extinction…
Luchino Diruse(stunned) : … Uh…
Miss Nightingale : Atlantis’s destruction…
Kurt Frank(shocked) : Atlantis is real ?!
Miss Nightingale : Correction : ̎ was real ̎ (keep listing) the Plague…
Ann(her dark pitch eyes wide in shock) : … What ?
Miss Nightingale : The Tower of Pisa being toppled…
Edgar Valden(surprised) : You mean the tower wasn’t toppled because of the swampy grounds ?
Miss Nightingale : The Hundred Years’ War.
The survivors and some of the hunters(in shock) : …
Miss Nightingale(formal) : And this is just a few, the list is quite long ! Do you understand the situation now or should I continue ?
Naib Subebar(hold up his hands) : We get it, we get it ! The kid and whatever power with her is off limits !
Miss Nightingale(smile) : Good ! Now as I was saying, during her stay Miss Dupain-Cheng will need to rest a lot to recover a bit until we are able to send her to the hospital ! For that she will need for her recovery a lot of peaceandquiet!That’s why the owner expects from all of you to not disturb our guest with your shenanigans and I’m insisting on that for some of you particularly.
The hunters and survivors, at this remark, turn their heads toward Smiley Face, Jack, Servais Le Roy and Kreacher Pierson with a narrowed look, the first three ignoring them.
Kreacher Pierson(Noticing the looks on him) : What ? Why are you looking at me like that ? I can understand the warning for ̎ Clown face ̎, who’s unpredictable, ̎ No face ̎, who’s a freak and Le Roy, who’s ready to do anything to be ̎ the greatest magician ever know ̎, but me ? Why would I try to mess with the kid ?
Michiko(Sipping from her tea cup) : Well, for starter your title isn’t ̎ Thief ̎ for nothing !
Kreacher Pierson(Slightly offended) : Oi !
William Ellis(with a jaded look) : Your shady treatment toward those kids at this orphanage of yours in the past, which makes the guarantee of the young lass’s safety questionable if you ever interact with her !
Kreacher Pierson(Turning toward William) : I didn’t-
Freddy Riley(Crossing his arms) : You’re overly untrustworthy !
Kreacher Pierson(Offended) : Oh ! Look who’s talking !
Emily Dyer(Frowning) : You also had this bad habit to take advantage of others at their weakest moments ! Just like you tried to do to Emma times ago !
Emma Woods:(Nob in agreement)
Leo Beck(groans in agreement) : Huurrrrrr….
Kreacher Pierson(Exasperated) : OH COME ON THAT WAS LITERALLY CENTURIES AGO ! WE ALL AGREED WHAT I HAVE DONE WAS TRASH, I COUNTLESSLY APOLOGIZED TO WOODS FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND EVEN KEEP MY DISTANCES FROM HER WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME ? AND SERIOUSLY ? YOU THINK I WOULD TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE KID ̎ THAT WAY ̎ ? I MAY HAVE DONE A BUNCH OF QUESTIONABLE THINGS IN THE PAST BUT I WOULD NEVER GO TO ̎ THAT ̎ LEVEL ! I MEAN DID YOU SEE HER ? SHE’S WHAT ? 16 ?
Miss Nightingale(stoic) : Actually from my talk with Miss Dupain-Cheng I learned she was 14 and would be 15 very soon…
Kreacher Pierson(Over-dramatic) : SEE ? SHE’S EVEN YOUNGER ! SO ALL OF YOU MARK MY WORD WHEN I SAY THAT I, KREACHER PIERSON, MAY BE A THIEF, A CON ARTIST OR A DECIEVER BUT NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE HAD, OR EVER WILL, STOOD TO ̎ THAT ̎ LEVEL OF TRASH !
Everyone else is rolling their eyes at Kreacher’s over-dramatic reaction.
Miss Nightingale(Still stoic) : Well, now this was made clear, I will have to excuse myself as I had a lot of duties to attend, good day to all of you !
Miss Nightingale took her leave and the survivors and hunters silently look at her, exciting the room.
Luca Balsa(joking) : Welp… That was something !
Norton Campbell(sigh) : Tell me about it… In the end we just got more questions than answers about that girl outside of the fact she is connected to ̎ powerful forces ̎ which are apparently very dangerous in the wrong hands !
Jose Baden(Shrug) : Well… I guess this will be up to the little miss to tell us if she decided to do it at one point !
Tracy Reznik(Confused) : Uh guys ? Sorry to interrupt you but… Where is Bonbon going like that ?
Burke Lapadula(grumbling) : It’s name is Guard 26 not Bonbon and…(He notices that the robot is indeed leaving quickly) What the- ? Guard 26 ! Where are you going ? Get back there ! Oi ! Get your metallic butt here right now ! Are you even listening to me, you me you pile of dolts ? GUARD 26!(Burke go after the robot and leave the room)
Most of the survivors and hunters took it as their cue and also left the room, outside of a few of them.
Oletus manor’s first floor security camera :
The camera shows Robbie about to take the stairs to the second floor but is busted by Michiko who appears in the camera’s vision.
Michiko : Robbie ? What are you doing ?
Robbie(Freeze) : Uh… Nothing ?
Michiko(Sigh) : You were trying to sneak in to see Dupain-Cheng-san were you ?
Robbie(Hesitant) : Uuuuuhhh…
Michiko(Softly) : Listen, she needs to rest for now ! You can go see and get to know her another time okay ?
Robbie(Sigh) : Okayyyyy….
Michiko(Smile) : Good ! Now come with me ! How about we go to your bedroom and I read you the story you want ?
Robbie happily nobbed and took Michiko’s hand and both left the floor.
Oletus manor’s second floor security camera :
The camera show Burke arguing with his robot, Guard 26 ̎ Bonbon ̎, who was guarding Marinette’s bedroom’s door with no intention of leaving.
Burke Lapadula(Angry) : What the hell are you doing ? I didn’t even give you the order to go to the brat’s room, so what are you even doing posted in front of her door ?
Bonbon : Presence of a vulnerable person in the manor declared, so Bonbon’s protection code was activated.
Burke Lapadula(Angry) :Protection co- I didn’t even give you the order to activate this protocole ! I’m your creator and any protocol or any action from you should be activated on MY order ! So desist your protection protocol and come with me now !
Bonbon : Apologies, but Bonbon’s protection protocol can’t be desist !
Burke Lapadula(Getting impatient) :… Guard 26, desist protection protocol and follow me right. Now !
Bonbon : Apologies, but Bonbon’s protection protocol can’t be desist !
Burke Lapadula(Frustrated) : Oh for heck sake ! DESIST THIS FREAKING PROTECTION PROTOCOL !
Bonbon : Apologies, but Bonbon’s protection protocol can’t be desist !
Burke keeps going on trying to get his robot obey him with the robot not budging.
Oletus manor’s third floor security camera :
The camera shows Emily and Emma talking in the floor corridor, Emily seems still upset about the possible reason for Marinette’s state.
Emma talks to Emily for a while, comforting her about how everything will be okay, that Marinette will be fine, especially with a doctor like Emily to take care of her.
Emily, moved by Emma’s words, shares a hug with her for a few minutes before the two leave holding each other’s hand.
A few moments later, the camera shows Naib, Eli and Aesop having a talk in the corridor.
Naib Subebar(Arms crossed) : Hey Clark, about what Nightingale told about those ̎ powerful forces ̎, you think you can told some things about it ? I mean you’re into this magic stuff right ? So you probably ̎ feel ̎ something right ?
Eli Clark(Nobbed) : Well yes I felt something unusual radiating from this young girl ! But before you ask, no I didn’t feel anything which could be ̎ dangerous ̎ for us, those forces seem to be powerful but not evil ! Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s something which will deliberately hurt us !
Naib Subebar(Nobbing) : I see…
Aesop(Nervously) : Now we clear up this matter, I must go ! I have ̎ important things ̎ to do ahah…
Naib Subebar(Smirking) : And I suppose those ̎ important things ̎ have obviously nothing to do with a certain french photographer ?
Aesop(Very nervous and blushing) : I… I… I REALLY MUST GO, GOOD DAY TO YOU TWO !
Aesop leaves the corridor embarrassed.
Eli Clark(Smirking to Naib) : You know, you’re one to talk on that subject, after all isn’t there a thing going on between you and mister Jack ?
Naib Subedar(Sputtering and blushing) : Wh-… How-… When-… ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!
Oletus manor’s first floor camera :
Other survivors and hunters go through the floor’s corridors, some going to their bedroom and others to another part of the manor.
Oletus manor’s living room security camera :
The hunters and the survivors had left the living room outside of the Dream Witch, and by extension Follower, and Hastur were having a discussion.
Dream Witch(Humming) : So it’s seem ̎ they ̎ get a new guardian ! I must say this is surprising to ̎ see ̎ one of ̎ them ̎ after so long !
Hastur(Nobbing) : Indeed, I don’t know about you, but I think things will get very interesting during those two weeks !
Both turn to the camera, the Dream Witch is smirking and Hastur is chuckling.
Hastur : Don’t you agree mister the Owner ?

I know you are a warrior -
stronger than I am
more than able.
But I can’t stop picking fights
with any man who looks at you -
however unnecessary.
I realize
that I’m really protecting myself
and that you
are the warrior
and that you
are more than able.
I need to trust in your strength
because you don’t need a protector
at all.
I am not an animal.
I am not an animal.
You can survive. You can live. This is absolutely certain
You are so, so brave. You have survived so much and making great strides each day. Let yourself be proud of that
being an abuse survivor is not a club membership that you can take away from people when they behave in a way you deem ‘unacceptable’
survivor is not a term that only the Most Pure and Most Worthy of abuse victims are allowed to use
and you don’t have any fucking right whatsoever to tell abuse survivors they “aren’t survivors anymore” or aren’t allowed to call themselves survivors just because they say or do something you don’t like even if you’re a survivor yourself
Well done to these wonderful ladies at the Rigby and Peller fashion show in aid of breast cancer.

BigPicture photography Competition,
The competition’s winning images and finalists highlight Earth’s biodiversity and illustrate the many threats that our planet faces. Each photo, in its own way, inspires viewers to protect and conserve the remarkable diversity of life on Earth. Below, we present the winners and some of our personal favorites from this year’s competition.
“Hope in a Burned Plantation” (2020), Mallacoota, Australia / Jo-Anne McArthur Photography,
Iconic Australia is captured in this particular moment as a resilient kangaroo pauses in a burned eucalyptus plantation. Nearly three billion animals perished or were displaced in the cataclysmic Australian bushfires of 2019 and 2020. This eastern grey kangaroo and her joey represent the lucky survivors, escaping from an area that had been transformed by humans for farming and then devastated by fire.
“Treasure on Ice” (2020), Svalbard, Norway / Marek Jackowski Photography,
A polar bear lies forlornly on a tiny floating chunk of ice, in an image evoking global warming…
“Sign of the Tides” (2020), Monterey, California / Ralph Pace Photography,
In this perfectly composed photograph, a discarded face mask in the shape of a sea turtle attracts a notoriously curious California sea lion. Shot in November 2020, this was the first time the photographer saw a mask underwater, but unfortunately he has seen many since. The effects of the pandemic will likely linger on our oceans for years to come.
All photographs courtesy of BigPicture winners and finalists.

Thank you Joe Biden for being an advocate for survivors and #TitleIX. Since Title IX guidelines were introduced in 2011, we’ve seen more schools hire Title IX coordinators and begin to more effectively address sexual assault incidents on campuses. We cannot walk back this progress – we need to stand strong with survivors of sexual assault and make sure school administrations are held accountable for providing the support and protections ensured by Title IX. Take a stand and join the #ItsOnUs movement → http://www.itsonus.org/pledge

I recorded a video the other day. After a while, I decided to upload it.
Think before you say anything. Or, alternatively, just don’t say anything.
Correct me if I’m wrong, please!
But in episode 3x15 - Eddie Begins, it shows that Eddie got shot on his left shoulder, right?
And in episode 4x13/4x14 - Suspicion/Survivors, it shows him getting shot on his right shoulder?!
Because I hear/saw a lot of people saying (especially in fics) that both gunshots were on the same shoulder, but that’s not what I saw.
Am I wrong and crazy here???
“To the women that came forward and blazed a trail that should have been lit decades ago, you are epic.
To the ones who remained anonymous but still wanted their voices to make an impact, you are epic.
To the ones who haven’t come forward, that’s ok, you are epic.
I love you all”

“My heart is saddened by everything that has come to light in the gymnastics community. Not a day goes by without thinking of the survivors, many of whom are personal friends. I’ve listened to their stories in the courtroom & felt my heart break w/ every word hearing what they had to go through. I find myself overwhelmed by the pain these women have dealt with, inspired by their incredible bravery and strength & personally ashamed for how I imagine my own part in this terrible saga. Ashamed, because I was one of hundreds of people manipulated into believing this monster was the “good guy.” Ashamed, because I have often credited him with saving my Olympic dreams by putting my body back together time and time again. Guilty that I didn’t see any signs or discover a way to stop him & guilty that it took this long for consequences to be handed out. My own relationship with USA Gymnastics runs deep, from my own experiences in & out of the gym to my continued involvement & that of my family. It is far too early to celebrate the future, especially when the pieces of the past are still being put back together. The changes that are being implemented are a step in the right direction, but we need more transparency. I’m encouraged to know that we’re taking a deep look at the mistakes that permitted these awful acts to ensure that they will never be repeated. We also need unity & the commitment from all of us in the gymnastics community to promote safer environments for the present & the future of this amazing sport. This situation has sparked so much anger & the responses to that anger have been positive & negative—positive bc necessary changes are already being implemented & negative in the death & rape wishes & disgusting vitriol that has been sent to my family & me. Although such outrage is warranted, I know there will be healing as well; healing that will hopefully begin once this terrible person is put behind bars for good. It will take USA Gymnastics some time to recover & it won’t be (& should not be) forgotten. I, as well as so many of you, know that the strength of the gymnastics community is unparalleled. Thank you all for your continued support. "

After the results of the 2016 election, I was feeling very hopeless. The United States just elected a man that has not only been accused of sexual assault, but that has openly admitted to doing it and considers it a perk of being famous.
I will be selling these 1.25" hard enamel pinsand50% of the profits will be donated to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) to help fund their hotline as well as educate the public about sexual assault.
I will not allow our president elect to normalize sexual assault. Sexual violence is a heinous crime and together we can HELP, LEARN, LISTEN, AND INFORM.
If you’d much rather donate to RAINN directly, you can do so by clicking here
