Fuck this woman. Fuck fuck fuck this woman.

I’ve been rolling around in the greys for months angrily yelling at every article that has covered autism and/or vaccines. I’m tired.

What’s even more bizarre about this is that Fredrick Douglass is one of like, 6 black people who you learn about in public school (along with Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, MLK, Chrispus Attucks and Dred Scott).

Never trust someone who uses the phrase “trust me”.

People didn’t care (46%)...They voted for him (46%)

Okay, I am a little shocked at the number of comments about how Fu Yuanhei should have used hormonal birth control to skip her period for Rio. Lady is an elite athlete who no doubt has tracked her fitness relative to nutrition, medications, rest, etc. for years. Shouldn't we give her the benefit of assuming she knows…

But Canada got bronze! That’s just like gold to us!

You don’t have to, you can also stand there with your hands held in front or behind you. Gabby just can’t ever do right my Twitter, her hair isn’t right, her hands aren’t right, her skin isn’t right. She just keeps on doing her thing, winning gold.
