I'm Always Angry

Too invested in fictional characters but mostly Black and Asian characters (Iris West and Finn Skywalker!) Forever loving the fictional women fandoms hate. Occasionally pretends to know how Photoshop works.

First painting of 2021! Renewal is a fitting theme, I think.

the way that din never refers to anything by its proper name..... laser swords instead of lightsabers.... sorcerers instead of Jedi..... “kid” instead of Grogu...... that is exquisite single father behaviour. it’s the star wars equivalent of a parent calling pikachu a pokeman

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra (2020) #5 by Alyssa Wong

HAHAHAHA! The bad guy in the Aphra comic is a dude who destroys beloved artworks out of his egotistical sense of self-importance. Alyssa Wong is a satirical genius and a renegade.

it would take 2.3 million years for Jeff Bezos to earn his $183.3b net worth working 24 hours a day at New Mexico’s $9/hr minimum wage.

[i-wear-the-cheese]

That’s 11.5 times longer than the human race has existed.

[splend-42]

Not long enough.

What if we gave it a twist? Rather than earning that amount of money, what if it was to save that amount while still paying bills and feeding himself?

I know y'all did not read the books but Roald Dahl talks about this in the book. Charlie’s teacher points out the fact that unless you buy a shit ton of bars you’re probably not gonna win. Just like the lottery. Just like how all of the other winners of the tickets bought a shit ton of bars. Except Charlie, who just got lucky. And Charlie was originally black. Literally the whole point of the book was that wonka wanted to give the less fortunate a fair opportunity and it wasn’t fair because the system isn’t fair.

Stop the car.

He was and Mr. Dahl was forced to make him white. Also his widow has spoken and confirmed that as well.

U.S. court orders Dakota Access oil pipeline to be shut, emptied

A U.S. District Court on Monday ordered Energy Transfer LP to shut and empty the largest pipeline from the North Dakota shale oil fields within 30 days, in a big win for the Native American tribes who have fought the line's route across a crucial water supply.

JULY 6, 2020

“Today is a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many people who have supported us in the fight against the pipeline,” said Chairman Mike Faith of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. “This pipeline should have never been built here. We told them that from the beginning.”

Ngl shows like Sleepy Hollow and TVD made me deeply fear seeing a Black woman casted as leads. To me, in my mind, white creators only did this to torture them onscreen, to make them suffer, and while onscreen it makes little sense to see the kind of suffering they go through with no development or silver lining in sight, behind the scenes is a white creator actively punishing an actress for her role.

I wonder if people who watch and love these shows, I wonder if they will reach out to trans people in need and work to defeat policies that scapegoat us, policies that discriminate against us, policies that dehumanize us. Because until that happens, all that energy from the silver screen won’t be enough to better the lives of trans people off the screen.
