To the people who claim cultural appropriation is a silly buzzword, well, here is literally the best example you can find of it; selling the work of an indigenous people as your own and giving them no benefit from it at all.

Yes, well that aside, you know what America doesn’t need? More people devoting their lives and time and talent to fashion and acting.

Tavi Gevinson is insufferable.

FUCKIN CRAIG, LOVE THAT GUY

I also know a lot more than you do, so consider that.

Speaking of ... did no one else notice that Kevin Spacey signed that tweet “K(spaceship emoji)“ ?!?!

Or the pain of your latest surgery, or the cost of prescriptions.

Try rising insurance premiums and blood pressure Sarah.

If this post is about a baby, why is the baby the least featured object in the photo?
