“Sorry to break the news, but he’s a libertarian.”

Mind you, I’m sure bathrooms were available. Secondly, would you want your children to see another woman’s breasts?

2. Do I care if my child sees another woman’s breasts? NO.

Your servers have always had issues...

Someone tell me why we can’t just have a conversation about our experiences without all the tragic bullshit? Tell me why. Tell me like I just graduated kindergarten.
Never, not once, have I seen any of the black tumblr people that I follow being able to have a conversation about an experience they’ve had with racism without somebody either coming in and being an apologist ass, or...
