Gonna be a bad year.

It’s very hard to pick a single passage to give you a sense of just how fucked up this is.

Ugh. Not fun at all.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I'm looking forward to the Paralympics in two weeks. We were lucky enough to catch some of the action in the summer games in Paris two years ago, and it was amazing.
This was the game.
Deserves to be a stamp.
