&lt;p&gt;My friend Isaac has the most gorgeous hands I have ever seen, and I am completely enamored of them. The day I met him he promised to let me draw them, and I finally got to last weekend. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your daily reminder that Wolverine is the fucking &lt;strike&gt;worst&lt;/strike&gt; man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fixed it :D&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nah son. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah son.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wolverine is the fucking worst.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He’s wrong, to start with, She-Hulk didn’t get with Juggernaut, some version of her from the multiverse did. So you got this hairy little Canucklehead absorbing and spreading fuckshit rumors about the sex life of one of the (relatively) few high profile superwomen in his field of work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you got the fact that, right or wrong, Logan is on that slut shaming bullshit. Hey, Wolvy, you don’t want to have a one night stand with Jen? Fine, your loss. Hey, Wolvy, you wanna put down Jen because the sex she may or may not be having lowers her value to you? Drink some bleach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And since bullshit comes in threes, you also have the straight up hypocrisy of it all. This is goddamn Wolverine we’re talking about, who despite all odds has a list of sexual partners as long as his arm. If he didn’t have a healing factor, the last hundred and fifty years of freaky loving he’s gotten would have left him literally riddled with diseases. (Son had half a dozen kids he didn’t know existed, you can’t tell me Wolverine places a high value on safe sex, or even pulling out). Wolverine has literally less authority than anyone else in the Marvel Universe when it comes to judging people based on their sexual history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But no, it’s all good, respectability based on your sexual history is a one way street. Get a lot of pussy? Player. Get a lot of dick? Skank.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/TheEternalOne/doublestandards.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She-Hulk sees y’all, and doesn’t think much of you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I pass by stuff like this all the time and think “my followers need to hear this” instead of reflecting on my own re-blogged advice. The people she’s talking about aren’t always maliciously or even intentionally not good for you, they just are. When you’re around you always lose something, money, gas, a piece of yourself- while never getting anything in return. Take a moment today to really think about what she means.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AMEN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Release anything that no longer serves you. You know who these people are. You don’t even need to think that hard, you just know. Let go of them. Don’t carry unnecessary burden in your life. Let go of the toxic people in your life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For me, this just reinforces why I have cut my mother out of my life. She has shown me she doesn’t care about me time and time again and I will not ever forgive her only to have her break my heart again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thank u oprah&lt;/p&gt;

Women who have had boob jobs or lip enhancements or liposuction are still real women. Size 0 may make no sense mathematically, but a woman who wears that size is as real as the one who wears a size 16. What makes us “real” people is not the shape of our flesh but our basic humanity.
