“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

― Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist

Internet Nazis are claiming the modern Scarlet Witch design is "manly" which, they're obviously doing it because Marvel is leaning more into Wanda's Romani heritage and part of that is making her darker. Nazis mad at brown women; annoying, typical, unsurprising. But what elevates this into the realm of accidental comedy is the fact that this design shift coincides with an almost unprecedented yassification for Wanda.

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

Where's it made? Who brought it here? How much were they paid? Who makes it? Is it made in separate parts and put together? How much were they all paid to do this? Where do they get the materials? Who paid for that? Who brings it there? How much were they paid? Who streamlined the base materials? How much were they paid? Who gathered the base materials? Where? How much were they paid? Is it good for them? Is it good for us? Is it good for the land? Is it necessary? Is it biodegradable? How much does it hurt? Do I need it? Do I even want it?

“Present Lasts Only a Moment”

Our life is only a few decades long, and so often we spend it waiting. We wait for tomorrow, for next month, for better times, for new circumstances, or for some perfect moment. But while we keep waiting, the present quietly passes by — and in reality, life is made of these present moments.

I think it’s very important sometimes to stop and look around: at the people beside us, at ordinary moments, at evening light, conversations, children’s laughter, walks, and hugs. Even during difficult periods of life, there is always something real and beautiful to hold onto. That’s why I try to appreciate what I have today instead of only waiting for some perfect “later.”

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday with the people you love 🤍

It’s diabolical work to routinely position Black art, and by extension the Black community, as a uniquely lacking in LGBT presence and culture when so much of white american LGBT culture takes many of its cues from Black culture and the movement to fight for its rights stems from that. And yet so many of y’all seem keen to do it.

I think one of the most annoying aspects of having a bulky mobility aid is that you completely lose the right to wander. Almost everywhere you go is "in the way" to someone so if you go somewhere and then change your mind and go back it's treated as if you're being rude and disruptive when it wouldn't be seen as an issue if someone who doesn't have a bulky mobility aid did it. It's just normal human behaviour to change your mind sometimes. This is doubly an issue when you needed assistance getting there, there's an intense pressure to stick with every single decision you make that doesn't apply to everyone else, and it makes every trip out in public so stressful.

There is no point of disability where everyone takes you seriously. There is no right way to be disabled. You will always be accused of "not being disabled enough", "not really being disabled", or "being so disabled you can't expect to count as a person". Kill the idea that if only you were disabled like that instead of like this, you wouldn't be facing ableism. None of us actually have it easy.
