Was Skyfire as a scientist still treated with disrespect from bots that considers bots like his size should stay where they belong?

Yeah, was quite more Starscream that had quite a problem among the others. I follow more a G1\Skybound idea of Sky than IDW about this.

You don't need timekeeping to tell you that we've gone around the sun four times since I found out that I had been put in charge of speaking for ol' brightso. I couldn't ask for a better partner than that spiked golden orb. Here's to many more, Sol, my dearest friend. Good Morning!!! To everyone else, please don't thank me, just go out there and stare at the majestic sun and let it know how much it means to you!!!

In a landmark decision, the Bombay High Court ruled that a child raised solely by their mother cannot be required to include an absent father’s name or caste in school records. The court determined that a single mother is a complete parent and that a child’s identity should reflect the reality of who is raising them.

The judges stated that this recognition is not an act of charity, but a constitutional right rooted in equality and dignity. When a mother is the sole guardian and caregiver, official documents must acknowledge her accordingly.

For generations, administrative systems have automatically tied a child’s legal status to the father. This decision challenges that long-standing practice and emphasizes that parental recognition should be based on who is present and providing care.

It represents a significant step toward ensuring that laws and records reflect the realities of modern parenthood.

the youth of india that has submitted to facism and right wing politics very conveniently complains about reservations but not about the lack of opportunities and seats by the government.

like do you really think by removing reservation, there would still be enough seats in institutions for lakhs of students?

the entire entrance system is a symptom of govt incapability to provide basic higher education and jobs and trap the youth into giving exams and blame their failure on students/candidates/people for not cracking them.

again, what good can come from the generation that believes that the government's responsibility is to build temples rather than focus on important things like education, infrastructure, development etc. these terms are almost non existent and alien.

love how on the nose the "you've always seen them as a nymph" page is. the trans exposition will continue until morale improves unironically

there's a lot of talk also about how closely Ly'lac's experiences mirror those of fans of colour who want to see themselves in their favourite characters. it's great how all these ideas intersect in the nymphs' and satyrs' simultaneously gender-racial dynamic :)

I've been thinking today about how naturally this dynamic grows out of what was already planted in the trolls and then the cherubs... my line, recently, has been pointing out how the cherubs in Act 6 put a new spin on the information presented to us in Act 5 by framing blood colour as something that both closely intersects with and is directly analogous to gender: if red is like boy and green is like girl, the audience retrospectively is compelled to look for similar patterns in the other 12 colours. the nymphs and satyrs introduce race into the scheme in the same way: if girl is like black, and boy is like white(?), then...?

alternatively, not as a straightforward progression from step A to step C, but rather as a trifecta, each informing the others? for trolls, race is blood: for cherubs, blood is gender: for the children of Deltritus, gender is race. all painting the bigger picture that these structures are fundamentally working parts of one overarching superstructure.
