Adapt to this

[childish-gamzeno]

LET ME JUST POINT OUT THE VARIOUS FLAWS OF LOGIC HERE. FIRST OF ALL DARWINS POWER IS TO LITERALLY ADAPT TO ANYTHING IN THE EFFING UNIVERSE. HIS POWERS DEEMED IT TOO DANGEROUS TO FIGHT THE HULK AND TELEPORTED HIM TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. HE ONCE BECAME PURE COSMIC EFFING ENERGY AND SHORTLY AFTER REMATERIALIZED AS A HUMAN BEING TO PREVENT HIS DEATH. DARWIN IS LITERALLY INEFFINGVINCIBLE. AND YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT A PATHETIC BALL OF KINETIC ENERGY FROM SEBASTIAN SHAW MERKS HIM?!?!?! THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE OUT TO KILL THE BLACK MAN IN THE PLOT AND LITERALLY WROTE THIS SCENE WITH NO REGARDS TO DARWINS POWERS WHATSOEVER AND ITS FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WOULD GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO KILL HIM OFF LIKE THAT

[convolutednormality-deactivated]

I’m saying. Even in sci fi we ain’t safe

[youngbadmanbrown-deactivated201]

in my headcanon darwin literally became a being of energy and ascended to another plain of existence so he doesn’t have to deal with anymore of this white nonsense

[queensoucouyant-deactivated2017]

i was SO tight about this bullshit

[carlathezombie]

Years later and I STILL get so mad about this

they killed the one fucking x-man whose power is literally SURVIVAL. That’s his power. He can DO ANYTHING IT TAKES TO SURVIVE! Shaw says “adapt to this??” HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. 

In addition to the above mentioned things he’s survived, when shot with a gun made to kill ANYTHING WITH A NERVOUS SYSTEM, he turned into a SPONGE, and then back again. 

Once, he touched a goddess of death. And to survive that, HE BECAME A DAMN DEATH GOD HIMSELF. AND YOU’RE TELLING ME HE CAN’T SURVIVE SOME FUCKING KINETIC ENERGY?? BULLSHIT I SAY. BULL FUCKING SHIT.

There’s this ableist idea that the default is for people to have zero disabilities and mental illnesses. That’s why there’s a concept of there being “too many diagnoses” - because people totally assume there’s like, a Perfectly Normal Human to begin with and that that idealized body has zero brain issues or disabilities.

And that’s so wrong. That’s just as wrong as assuming non-intersex, cishet middle-class white guys are the Perfectly Normal Human of which everyone else is an imperfect copy.

We’re not made from a mould. We have endless variations and they aren’t divergence from some Perfectly Normal Copy, they’re literally the way life functions. There is no perfect copy. There are only variations, some of which have the privilege of being normalized.

But privileged people see themselves as the default, and “too many differences” can seem “made up” to them, because they’re not used to relating to people who are different. Unfortunately we mentally ill/disabled people absorb this idea too and it’s really hard to unlearn it when we’re stuck in a society that’s constantly reinforcing it.

We have to be gentle with ourselves and with each other and work on normalizing variations like mental illnesses, disabilities, etc., so the focus can be on meeting the needs of people who have them instead of just surviving ableism.

“So I hear people say “their going to build it anyway” “I don’t care I don’t live up there” “ won’t affect me” BUT here is a picture of the Missouri River. Imagine if oil spilled into that River and flowed down it… Not to mention this river is one of the biggest rivers in United States… AND it connects to the Mississippi River CREATING THE 4th LARGEST RIVER SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!!!

BESIDES POSSIBLY digging up Native Americans ancestors graves (which violates the NAGRPA act passed in 1990)… (BTW I stand corrected it was cow bones {Denver news reporters are slacking)

When (not “if” but WHEN) the Bakken pipeline does have a leak it will contaminate the Missouri. If this leak is not noticed right away worst case scenario is it could travel to the Mississippi River which we all know goes right into the Gulf of Mexico… People are being arrested because they care about our future!

Now imagine not being able to go to the river anymore, all the animals it will affect from the birds that land in it to the 4 and 2 legged animals that drink and cool off in it…

There are farmers and ranchers in Iowa who worry that their land will be contaminated if it leaks on their land. We also need to worry about our crops!!!

These guys don’t care about the long term issues they just want the money for what’s happening right now.

When it leaks this will not only affect Standing Rock Sioux Tribe but for many other people, animals, crops.

The natives that are at the camp protesting are not doing it for themselves, they are there for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! And for our children, their children and every generation to come.

I wish I could be there to help stand up for the people, not “my people” but all people.

I hope everyone knows what I’m saying here. PROTECT UNCI MAKA! With out the land we cannot survive. We cannot live with out her!

Wish i was there (but I’m there through spirit) helping my brothers and sisters of the red nation, and everyone else who is against the pipeline

Abortion providers speak out.

“If this is the reaction that women who are seeking autonomy over their own bodies get from society, that inspires me to fight harder for them.”

I never understood why a girl is always suppose to be that ride or die chick that stays with a man and helps him build and become the man she deserves but a guy is never told to stay with a woman while she finds herself. A guy will always look for that perfect woman but we are suppose to settle for a building project?! Fuck that.

[rilzself]

I so wholeheartedly love the generation of women coming up in this world. The realization that you are all stars of your own story and not a supporting actress in a mans is so important.

This is a Sarah Robles appreciation post:

because dickwad Nike and Ralph Lauren can’t be fucked to consider strong, athletic women over 130 lbs.

because her proud mama didn’t get an Olympic jacket.

because despite being the highest ranked weight lifter in the USA, she had hell finding a sponsor because she doesn’t look like “tinkerbelle”.

because the Olympics is about athletic ability.

This is also a “fuck you” to fat shamers who would look at her without knowing anything about her and label her “unhealthy”.

Paradoxically, as religious patriarchy has loosened its moral grip on the West, the doctrine of monogamous romance has become ever more entrenched. Marriage was once understood as a practical, domestic arrangement that involved a certain degree of self-denial. Now your life partner is also supposed to answer your every intimate and practical need. Polyamory is a response to the understanding that, for many of us, this ideal is impractical, if not an active cause of unhappiness. People have all sorts of needs through their lives – love, companionship, care and intimacy, sexual adventure and self-expression – and expecting one person to be able to meet all of them is not only unrealistic, it’s unreasonable. Women in particular, who often end up doing most of the emotional labour in conventional, monogamous, heterosexual relationships, don’t have the energy to be anyone’s everything. I don’t expect anyone to be everything to me. I want freedom, and I want to be ethical, and I also want affection and pleasure. I guess I’m greedy. I guess I’m a woman who wants to have it all. It’s just that my version of “having it all” is different from the picture of marriage, mortgage and monogamy to which I was raised to aspire.

For many in my fearful, frustrated generation, “having it all” means opting out of monogamy (via brutereason)

Doing harassment prevention training for work and saw this. Since I often see people demanding a citation for “intent doesn’t matter” here’s one straight from the Eastern Michigan University harassment training manual.

Activists William Lucka and Antonio Cosme are facing up to $75,000 in fines and four years in prison for allegedly painting “Free the Water” in large block letters up the side of a water tower in Highland Park. They added the graphic of a fist to make the painting look authentic and to show their own attitude.

Living in Detroit these folks reveal the conflict between residents and the authorities who don’t give a damn about citizens and highlight one of the biggest social crises - water service shutoffs.

The Detroit media blames Cosme and Lucka for vandalism, while they are raising money to support local organizations like Black Youth Project, New Era Detroit, BlackLivesMatter, the People’s Water Board.

Supporters have formed a Free the Water Defense Campaign for Antonio Cosme and William Lucka’s defense fund. The same group is hosting a fundraiser featuring Lucka’s artwork on August 13 and a crowdfunding campaign, Funded Justice, that continues through August 31.

Again Black activists face prison for raising awareness of things that matter. There comes a time when silence is betrayal.
