Hey, Sherlock fans! Recognise the chap on the left?

Of course you do. He’s the lovely D.I. Greg Lestrade - as played by the also lovely chap on the right, Rupert Graves.

Did you know Rupert’s birthday is at the end of June and he’s going to be fifty?

We’ can’t let such a special milestone go uncelebrated, can we?

That’s why we’ve set up a charity donation to mark the occasion and show Rupert a bit of the love we think he deserves.

The chosen charity is Springboard Opportunity Group who provide daycare and support for children with special needs. Rupert is one of their patrons.

They’re a small charity so every penny really does count. For example:

Just £10 buys a Talk Back postcard to help stimulate a child’s speech and imagination

£50 pays for the upkeep of their mini bus for one week, enabling children to explore the wider world

£100 pays for a member of staff to be trained in PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to help the development of children with language disorders

£500 pays for an assistant to provide individual support for a child with additional needs for 3 hours a week for 13 weeks

£1000 enables a child with additional needs to join in with other children at his or her local pre-school for 3 hours a week for 26 weeks

We’d love to reach that top amount! (We’d really love to blow right past it and keep going - but that’s the initial target!)

PLEASE DONATE HERE! and don’t forget to leave a message for Rupert to wish him a Happy 50th Birthday and say thank you for all the amazing roles he’s been in over the years, including Greg “Two Holidays” Lestrade!

After all, he’s so dishy! ;)

(Any questions?)

“Swear to God, I can’t stand to hear a woman claim that she thinks like a guy and hates women because they’re all catty. That’s misogyny. The very fact that you, as a woman, think differently than how a socially-stereotyped woman is supposed to think is proof that our gender “norms” are fucking us over. Women are not all alike. Some of us like football. Some of us like talking on the phone. Some of us like religion. Some of us are emotional. Some of us speak three languages. Some of us have boyfriends. Some of us have girlfriends. Some of us wear lipstick. Some of us don’t shave our pits. Some of us have kids. Some of us worry we’ll drop our best friend’s baby. Now please stop claiming that you don’t act like a woman. It doesn’t make you a special fucking snowflake. It makes you a perpetrator of misogyny.”

smoke-and-sketchpads:

Guys, this is my little brother, Reese. He just turned eight last March, and he is in second grade. He had found that he prefers guys to girls. When he told his friends that at recess, they threw rocks at him. Rocks. He came home crying, saying that his friends had called him names like “faggot” and “homo”. Second graders called him these names. I explained to him that it is perfectly okay to be gay, and that I will still love him no matter what. Unfortunately, my parents don’t agree. He’s been set apart from the family and his friends for his sexuality, that he has no control over. I’m not doing this for notes or to gain followers. I’m doing this to show Reese he will be accepted by many people no matter what sexuality he is. Reblog if you support my eight year old brother, no matter his sexuality.

Panera Cares Lets Customers Set The Price

Panera Bread, the nationwide restaurant chain, has opened a new “pay-what-you-can” cafe in downtown Boston, called Panera Cares.

The concept is simple: diners pay what they can afford. So if a meal normally costs $5.00, the customer can pay that price, a little more, or a little less.

Store ambassadors greet customers when they come in to explain how things work, but it can be a little confusing.

“I don’t even know what’s going on. I’m just hungry,” a befuddled customer named Javier said.

Here’s how it works: customers order their food, just like at a regular Panera, but then the cashier tells them the suggested price. Customers can decide how much to pay, and either put their money in a donation box, or tell the cashier how much to charge their credit card.

The Panera Bread Foundation has four other Panera Cares locations in St. Louis, Detroit, Portland, Oregon and Chicago, and the founder Ron Shaich says the system works because the people who can afford to pay more, often do.

“All they have is a responsibility to do the right thing. And you know what’s amazing? So many people do,” Shaich said.

The breakdown of what people pay is about 60-20-20: 60 percent of people pay the suggested price, 20 percent pay less, 20 percent pay more.

Since opening in January, the Panera Cares in Boston has been taking in slightly more than that national average.

Food Insecurity

Panera officials say the chain already donates about $100 million in food and cash a year. But Shaich wanted to become more involved in the issue of food insecurity – the 50 million Americans and one in four children who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

“This isn’t an issue of simply of homelessness,” Shaich said. “Twenty-five percent of people with food insecurity actually own their own homes, 24 percent are college grads. It’s endemic when you have a country that is 8 to 9 percent unemployment.”

It’s a job requirement that all of the employees at the Boston Panera Cares location understand the issue.

“We’ve all experienced food insecurity one way or another, either personally or we know someone is experiencing it,” said cashier Yetunde Bankole.

Panera Cares workers are also trained to deal with a population that is in need.
