"I take that as a compliment, because we are athletes. Look at the track and field athletes, and the gymnasts. They all have great bodies. It's just something that's coming into tennis that wasn't there before. All they did before was really just play tennis."

Mary Pierce on the infamous creatine controversy.

I'm that old to remember that in a glass of water.

A mix of unadulterated scientific ignorance and sheer misogyny.

Coz a woman, a professional elite athlete, with muscles was(still is) a man's eyesore.

The French were also mad She went to Nick Bollitieri, instead of coming back to France, after separating from her abusive dad. Some journos back then even suggested She kinda deserved It.

Truly wild times.

Fic in which Mary tries extra hard to bond with Cas to show Dean she supports him and their relationship, except that relationship doesn’t exist in the way she thinks it does and because none of them ever use their words Dean is now faced with the horrifying thought Cas might become his stepdad

#Dean Winchester psychological torture chamber #he starts to just retreat to his room whenever Mary and Cas hang out #trying to rationalise it like #of course mom would like cas he’s got the dark hair and piercing eyes and air of authority just like dad he’s exactly her type #I should be happy for them. for her #cas seems happy too I guess that’s all that matters #at least it’s not ketch anymore #and one day when cas is out he gathers his courage and approaches her about it #so he sits down next to her and Mary’s like oh he’s finally comfortable enough with me to tell me about his relationship #but instead Dean goes mom are you dating Cas #and Mary is like wtf Dean of course I’m not dating your boyfriend why would you think I’d do that #and it’s the spiderman meme of dating Cas #where both of them assumed the other is involved with him when neither of them actually are #txt

DUDE, re: that post you reblogged about pigeons and doves, do you know of the Luzon bleeding heart (Gallicolumba luzonica)?

if i was this bird i'd prank people by clutching my chest and stumbling around and screaming "oh god it hurts so bad! oh fuck somebody help me!" and then sitting up and laughing at their faces when they realize they got totally bamboozled

#🐉#birds #these guys always make me think of those virgin mary statues with the 7 swords piercing her heart for some reason #(<- ex catholic)

I haven't posted in a looong time! But hello! It's almost been a year since I went to New York for the first time and saw Spies in Concert! I made this pop-up card last minute because I just had to!
