It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

The Internet was waaaaaaaay better twenty years ago than it is now and anyone who says otherwise is either lying, ignorant, or stupid.

if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

No matter how much it's talked about, it's still not talked about enough that the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether the words in the 14th amendment mean what the words in the 14th amendment mean.
