maglab:
You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.

“So I shouldn’t be surprised that the Mother’s Day Parade shooting has largely been forgotten. On Sunday, shots were fired into a crowd during a parade in the New Orleans 7th ward. Police said they saw three suspects running from the scene.

stfuconservatives:
Even if the goal isn’t to make the brand unappealing by associating it with the homeless, Fitch the Homeless is pretty clearly using homeless individuals as props in a political statement that ultimately has little to do with actually helping them. The stated goal is to get as many homeless people as possible to wear A&F clothing. I don’t see how that’s not treating them as...

if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right

perfect commentary which parallels what Rawles was saying earlier about the possibility of Moriarty being a person of color:
