I know no one cares about my boner but I have a giant crush on Domhnall Gleeson.

Have you seen About Time ? Watched it over and over.

Probably unpopular take: I have a huge crush on Domhnall Gleeson and think he’s adorable (irl, not in many of the roles he’s cast in tbf)

Brenden has not had a fair shake in life. Still manages to be a stand up bloke, good on him.

Everything I read about Brendan Fraser just makes me want to wrap him in a blanket and give him a cup of tea. Poor guy.

oh, the irony — to see this article written by the same author, who chastised Sweden for not adopting the law on sex without consent as rape earlier.

Jezebel’s repeated and total erasure of the voice of trafficking victims is disgraceful. The total ignorance displayed about the anti-sex trafficking organisations and survivors who supported and advocated for this legislation is embarrassing. The changes made in mark up are clearly beyond this site’s ability to…
