The way I sleep, this bed just can't be made. I pull the covers up around my head. Now when I think of me, I think of somebody else instead. As if it wasn't hard enough.

Sign this Petition for open investigation into Judging Decisions of Women’s Figure Skating and Demand Rejudgement at the Sochi Olympics.  

In a nutshell: Kim Yuna won silver at the Sochi Olympics this year and Adelina Sotnikova, who is a Russian, won gold. What made people so outraged is the fact that one of the judges’ sheets gave Yuna a score of 0 when it was nearly perfect. she still shouldn’t have gotten a 0, even if it’s not a perfect score. Sotnikova, who made a more visible mistake than Kim, received a higher score, which leads to speculation that the judges were biased. signing this petition will mean an investigation into the scores. This was Kim Yuna’s last year competing at the Olympics, because she will be over the age limit. “She never got the points she deserved, and she will never be able to break her ownrecord.” (Via michell Pyo on fb) heartbreaking, when breaking our own record is what drives the majority of the human population. It has to be signed in a few more hours so please hurry and sign!

Honestly, even though some fangirls are only supportive of him because of his looks, the people in Japan really took his win to heart.

Yuzuru Hanyu was not a typical Japanese Olympian. He was an inspiration and hope because he came from Sendai, an area close to the epicenter of the March 2011 earthquake that struck.
He not only suffered like the rest of Japan, he was on the verge of giving up his dream of figure skating until Japan gave him enough funding to head to Toronto to train (because his usual skating rink was destroyed by the earthquake).

When Hanyu won, it was a lesson that anything can happen if one tries enough. Hanyu was going to give up his dream, yet he pushed on with the support of others, ultimately winning gold and breaking the 100 point barrier in a short event.

Japan welcomes him back and encourages others to not forget their dreams, regardless of the situation. And now Hanyu even said that he will make use of himself in his hometown to continue helping with the recovery from the earthquake.

me watching the Olympics: oh wow, that was impressive!
announcer: ANOTHER DISASTROUS MISTAKE!

let us all take a moment to appreciate the fact that the tropical country philippines is participating in wintry games for the first time this 2014

these olympics are going to be a huge milestone for the gay rights movement.

as people are giving less and less shits (along with our wonderful governments), i feel those places that dont already accept the oh-my-god-gay-people-actually-exist agenda will soon be following suit with the rest of the world.

i’ve never seen so much gay in the world all at once
