anyway like i said last week—dany’s arc was always about finding strength and overcoming abuse and protecting others from it. lots of white savior stuff, and plenty to dissect as “foreshadowing” i guess, but you can’t deny that is what millions of viewers saw in her. and it’s awful and demented and sexist as hell that the conclusion to her story is not even about her, it’s about the men in her life who she trusted and betrayed her, and then the narrative shifts so that it becomes about their pain, their suffering, their loss.

the tragic, awful, completely sexist part about the whole thing is that this won’t be the legacy of a pop culture icon that inspired thousands of girls and women, but about the fact that the way her arc ends, it’s not even about her. it’s jon. it’s tyrion. it’s awful. it was never even her story, in the end. and that is fucking horrible.

PSA FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S.

My mom volunteers for the American Red Cross (I know, I know, the organization has its faults).

However, my mom is on call to go to residences where there is a destructive fire AKA your house or apartment burns down.

Here’s what breaks her heart:

Some illegal immigrant families assume the American Red Cross is a part of the U.S. government.

It is NOT. The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization! These families run off before my mom can help them.

My mom’s volunteer job (and any ARC volunteer you come in contact with) is to meet you automatically after the fire, hand you a debit card ($125/per person in your family!) and a voucher to stay at a hotel!

Please do not run off! The organization will NOT turn you in to the government!

TAKE THE MONEY AND VOUCHER! THE AMERICAN RED CROSS WILL HELP YOU!!!!

Please reblog to spread the word!

Gonna just share this:

My European Studies professor decided a few weeks ago to take a Friday and instead of following the syllabus, he spent the entire hour and a half comparing Hitler’s actions from a European perspective to that of what Trump is doing in America. He never repeated a single point, and even used video and photos like this to show the comparison.

To make things better, he had us do an in class assignment for participation points. He first played a clip on youtube of one of Hilter’s speeches, subtitled and 3 minutes long. He then played a clip of one of Trump’s rallies. Our assignment? Copy down every single sentence that matched in translation down on a sheet of paper or a word document that wasn’t repeated. The person with the closest amount to what my professor found got a candy bar.

My professor found, in just three minutes of a speech, that Trump matched 65 different phrases/sentences to that of Hitler’s translation.

65 nearly identical phrases used in his speeches. Take a moment to think about that.

Like, according to Trump’s first wife Ivana he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches in his nightstand and would read it periodically… so the overlap is not at all surprising given his obsession with Hitler’s propaganda.
