No.

Concussions can alter someone’s mood/make them depressed in the weeks or months following the incident. You don’t get hit on the head and decide to kill yourself a few hours later. Even if you have a history of depression you don’t pull 180 that fast.

And his slight accent! "They loov 'im." I loov YOU, Tom

this is one of those things that i must immediately share with everyone i know

THAT IS WHAT IT IS! actually from a front angle the trench coat + mesh looks a lot better. Poor Kim. The thing with her is that she has amaaaazing angles, and really not so good angles (as most curvy people do i guess)

i would seriously learn any/every instrument to be in FLOTUS and the P.

Exactly. My mom was a cop in NYC in the 70's—probably one of the first Black female officers on a beat. And I have every confidence that she was a good cop, she loved helping and protecting people, she'd grown up in the neighborhoods she patrolled, and the worst way she abused her power was probably driving on the…

THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING.

daaaaaaang. i respect the shit out of azealia banks. even though i feel like she would've bullied me on the playground
