My mom, 4 different bags of candy in her arms, spotting a ghost-shaped cookie cutter: oooh! Let’s make GHOST COOKIES

My brother, 17 years old but 49 in spirit: mom. You have so much stuff to do in preparation for the Halloween party tomorrow, we don’t have time for- mom. Mom p l e a s e-

Not to be political but I’m just so fucking angry right now

Surya Bonaly was a black Olympic figure skater for France in the 1990’s. During one of her routines, she did a backflip.

Yes, you heard me. A fucking backflip. On ICE.

No-one else has done that since.

Anyway, the judges were racist as hell, and didn’t like that one bit. A black woman showing up the competition? God forbid. So they told her the move didn’t count for her score because she didn’t land on one leg, like people are apparently supposed to in Olympic figure skating.

In response, this incredible woman, during her next routine, did another backflip and landed on one leg. What’s more, she finished the routine with her back to the judges, like a boss.

Predictably, the judges didn’t like that either. They said she shouldn’t do that anymore, since it was “too dangerous” and they didn’t want her encouraging others to try to do the same (nevermind that triple axels and shit are dangerous as fuck too).

But she kept doing it.

Again.

And again.

It was like her personal ‘fuck you’ to the judges every time she performed.

Because this woman is a badass.

Anyway, I’m just so mad that they refused to give her marks for fucking backflipping on ice. I’m mad that she only ever got silver. And I’m furious that I’d never heard of her till now.

I know some of these characters can be killed but you get my point lol 😂

they got hit with that Familial Love +2 Modifier

The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.

How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?

Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.

Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

My older brother just told me that, basically, since I decided to not work 60 hour weeks on a less-than-minimum-wage-by-a-lot salary, I do Nothing and am Nobody so fuck him and his fucking “I’m working so hard all the time, I need you to make me food and do my chores and give me a pass on my dickishness” bullshit

Everybody in this house is stressed, bitch, dads got a new job that getting COVID could wreck for him, moms sacrificed all her time to an out of the house business making and selling Montessori style works for kids, and my classes, two of which I’m taking at the local college as my first ever college classes, are all behind because of a godamn schedule mishap. None of us are dicks to each other for no reason.

Apologies for the rant, it’s 10:00 at night and I’m bitter and angry and stressed the fuck out

Every once in a while you’ll be having a nice family dinner and your mom will remind you that she reads Pride and Prejudice fanfiction in a casual conversation and continue with her thought like she hasn’t thrown everybody for a loop again

Can the gays catch a break please can the gays catch a single fucking break oh my god
