"You mean the guy who got cyberbullied off of tumblr by 14-year-old anarchomarxists but then triumphantly returned as a coffee company?"

“people on twitter are saying-“ i dont care. I dont care I dont care. that’s why i am on tumblr and not in that joyless blackhole

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
