savethehour:

Dear followers, campaigners,

• don’t forget that the #savethehour twitter trending party is on tomorrow (March 23rd) at 9PM GMT/UTC!
• Please reblog this as many as you can for others to see.

Dear people from other fandoms,

• please help us save our show! I know lots of you use twitter on a daily basis, so if you’re reading this, please, please help. To get a tag trending, thousands and thousands of people and tweets are needed. Our fandom is small, so we’re lucky to have a hundred of campaigners to contribute, tops.
• We most definitely need the help of ANYONE and everyone, because, I’ll say it once more, a massive amount of tweets is needed.
• Probably the majority of you use twitter to post all kinds of randomness and vent about feelings, so a couple of tweets with the hashtag #savethehour won’t hurt. It won’t hurt anyone, but it will matter the world to us.

THANKS FOR EVERYONE’S HELP AND CONTRIBUTION.

MORE INFO ABOUT THIS AND WHAT TO TWEET EXACTLY CAN BE FOUND HERE.

DON’T FORGET: 9PM GMT.

• Here’s a time zone converter for you.
• And a Facebook event.

9PM.

#SAVETHEHOUR TWITTER PARTY - HELP US GET A SERIES THREE

WHAT:  A get together on Twitter to get #savethehour trending!

It’s official: BEN WHISHAW himself has heard about the campaign, and not only seemed quite genuinely pleased with it, but he also sincerely expressed how he was very shocked and saddened for the BBC to decline letting the series be completed with a third series.  So, it is now more than ever we need to get #savethehour trending!

WHY:  The Hour was canceled before it’s third and final series on a major cliffhanger, without closure for the characters or the fans. Many recent fan campaigns such as the one for Community have used Twitter to show “the powers that be” viewer dedication to their favorite show. As a widely used social media platform by “people of influence” and fans alike it’s a perfect way to show in great numbers how much we care about The Hour getting a final series to come to the intended conclusion.

Oona Chaplin (Marnie Madden), Lisa Greenwood (Sissy Cooper), and Ben Whishaw (Freddie Lyon) have all in some way mentioned the campaign, and Abi Morgan (Head Writer and Creator) and Romola Garai (Bel Rowley) have expressed the desire to finish the series.

WHEN: THURSDAY, MARCH 14TH @ 9 PM GMT  MARK YOUR CALENDARS! (TIME ZONE CONVERTER)

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Join us on Twitter this Thursday.

• Tweet @BBC, @BBCTWOUK, and @KudosTV (the show’s producers) your desire to see a third and final series.
• Make sure to use the hashtag: #savethehour in your tweets so they will have the possibility of trending!
  
  Secondly:
• Feel free to tweet any news outlets, “celebrity” fans as well telling them about #savethehour and a need for a third series. Some great candidates are:
• Ian Wylie (reported on Ben’s interview about the campaign)
• Digital Spy
• Radio Times
• Andrew Romano of Newsweek (wrote a glowing review of Series Two in the U.S.)
• TV Guide’s Matt Roush (wrote a glowing review of Series Two in the U.S.)
  This is far from limited to these folks, however.  Also, please remember to be respectful, no matter who you are tweeting.
  
  I DON’T HAVE A TWITTER: It’s completely free and easy to make one! I hardly used Twitter before this campaign. Now I’m using it often.
  
  To trend we need absolutely everyone who is a fan of this show or who knows how it feels to lose your favorites before their time. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never campaigned, are a casual fan, a hardcore fan, or a friend of a fan; are new or old to the fandom, or have thought about watching but have not gotten to it yet. It doesn’t matter if you don’t Tumblr, or haven’t been a part of the campaign yet. Don’t be shy!   This group and the television community is a family. WE NEED EVERY ONE OF YOU.

By all means continue to tweet daily as well.  Keep the #savethehour tag active. 

Lets show the BBC this show has an amazing, dedicated following that wants a series three. Lets give the series the chance to close as it was intended.  Fans can change things.  

Whether you are in this fandom or not, please help us realize the reality of seeing our show finish as we had all hoped desperately for.  Please promote this.  Reblog it.  Tweet it.  Facebook it. Livejournal it (no, really).  Tell your friends.  We need as many people to know about this as possible.  Thank you!

Cutting hair short “just because” and changing hairstyles frequently is a sign of fickleness, and that is inherently unattractive. That’s why short hair is often seen on little girls and little teenage hipster chicks and riotgrrl punx because they haven’t matured to be able to take care of their own appearance.

Something as simple and easy as having long, flowing, beautiful and sexy hair is a sign of integrity and being able to stick to one thing for quite a while, something that most people lack in this day and age. It’s a sign of maturity and adulthood.

There’s also something really sensual about long, untamed, naturally grown hair. Seeing it is like an instant connection to nature and earthiness and humanness, if you’re into that spiritual hippie stuff. I am, if only a little bit.

Now I’m not saying that a sexy girl can’t look sexy with short hair (because she’s already sexy regardless), but I think a woman looks like a woman when she has long hair. Long hair is a signifier of maturity and womanliness.

Enough said.

Coming from a long haired girl, go fuck yourself. 

At first I was angry but then I read “simple and easy” describing the maintenance of long hair and just started laughing

I’m a strong female character who don’t need no hair.

when i was twelve or so i had really long wavy hair but i had it chopped off the day before middle school graduation and i had never felt so free

so if you’re telling me i was a more mature individual when i was twelve i am pretty sure there is a flaw in your reasoning

jfc this makes me angry

i have so many historical issues with my hair and every time people casually say to me, oh you should grow your hair out, guys don’t like short hair on girls, i want to punch them in the genitals? because a) fuck what guys like, b) fuck that i care what guys like, and c) how about YOU try growing out genetically thin hair while it’s basically falling out because of undiagnosed hyperthyroidism

then tell me to grow out my hair.

it’s kinda funny how people mostly say this about straight hair too

sorry, but my hair is really curly (and I mean really curly) - the longest I’ve had it was probably mid-back, just above, and that would obviously have been longer if it was straight

it looked a proper state that length - almost impossible to keep maintained well so it looked nice, and not to mention it’s so ridiculously thick that it’s not only pretty impractical but boiling hot in even mild temperatures

and I mean, my hair is only curly, it’s not afro or textures like that, which are even less plausible to leave long I think

Dear OP:

I second that emotion.

So what about people with brittle hair who’d rather keep it short than deal with continual damage control

or people with extensions

or people who like that short hair requires less upkeep

or people who just plain don’t think long hair flatters them

or people who have hair that grows really fast and enjoy taking advantage of it by experimenting with different lengths and styles

or people who come from cultures where short hair on women is seen as the norm

or people who cut off their hair and donate it

or people with hair that’s really fucking hard to manage who prefer to keep things as low-maintenance as possible

or…you know what, I’m just gonna assume the OP is conducting a social experiment and isn’t actually this ignorant.

Every. Single. Time. I’ve always kept my hair long, because my mother told me to, and it’s always been nothing but a hassle. And then one day as an adult I decided to cut it off, then proceeded to freak out and feel really bad about it immediately after. It took all of my friends telling me short hair looked better on me to stop fussing. And seriously, in the end, why the fuck? Jada Pinkett-Smith impressed me and made me reflect a lot when she responded to people questioning her parenting skills because she let her daughter Willow cut her own hair:

“The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don’t belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It’s also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother’s deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be.”

That woman is awesome and we should all learn from her. Do whatever you want with your hair, ladies. It’s YOUR hair. Everybody else can fuck right off.
