Piece of Cake
edwardspoonhands:
Why? Why does that mean something is easy? MAKES NO SENSE!
Oh, I googled it, it makes sense now. Pieces of cake were the smallest and easiest prizes to get a silly festival competitions in the 1870s. Same origin as “cake walk.”
See, I’ve gone from faux-frustration to enlightenment in like 13 seconds thanks to the internet. Piece of Cake.

Every time I try to come up with something clever, or well-thought-out, it ends up being “FUCK OFF, ANON”.

I fail to see what’s to hate here?
The "privilege" of the autistic
A cross-post with my proper blog, so that people actually read the damn thing.
Now, naming no names because I really don’t relish anonymous hate mail, I saw something on tumblr today that made me a bit annoyed. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence, if anything, it happens so often I don’t know why I bother with the internet anymore. None the less, I do, and so I saw this.
So, to...

You do know that you’re not going to be forced to watch this CBS thing, right? They’re not going to come into your house and shove it in your eyeballs like we’re in Clockwork Orange. You can legit just read a book or something when it’s on.
You can also use this neat little thing called Tumblr Saviour so you don’t even have to hear about it too.

I’m not insulted! I just think “big-headed, vapid, ill-dressed substance-abusing sex-pest who doesn’t think things through properly” is an annoyingly accurate comparison to make. ;)

don’t usually reblog these but this intrigues me
Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe
