It is a union, and with union comes a certain responsibility: perhaps, even more strongly for one of the strongest countries in the union. Were both England and Germany to secede, surely the European Union, itself, would come close to collapse. This is akin to California seceding from the United States in terms of…

It is the same everywhere. There is a trope, here, that one can always count on the poorest Americans to vote directly against their own interests.

Wow. I’m uncomfortable, but still want to applaud.

#notalllatinas think he’s a great monster! Some of us think he’s a flatulant small handed impotent monster who has to wear diapers at night and cries in the shower, who only messes up facts because he never learned to read and only hates brown people because he’s never properly figured out how to tan his skin enough,…

Johnny Depp could come out himself and admit to it, and people would still think she was some whore witch that manipulated him with her vagina.

A non-swim friend asked me when we were twelve how we hid that our nipples were hard through our suits and I just sat there like: this is a thing people feel embarrassed about?
