I haven't been able to talk about this even though I've known about it for a couple of months, because it wasn't approved/announced yet, but now it is so I can ( Read more... )

I hate that People of Walmart site. It pisses me off. It's racist, classist and fat-hating. Also, in this picture I'm pretty sure that's a chemo cap made out of fun fur, you drooling doucherocket caption writer. Hate hate hate ( Read more... )
