These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

[bebinn]

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

[clatterbane]

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

[uriesays]

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them. 

[racethewind10]

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating. 

[drgaellon]

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

[copperbadge]

I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added. 

[galaxy-of-stories]

Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.

[hurtlittleboy]

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.

[idiot-riker]

thinking abt that episode of TOS where Sulu finds a gun on the ground and is like “sweet” and just takes it

[botticegli]

[trunksette]

what’s better is that this planet was supposed to manifest your greatest fantasy and while everyone else was imagining sex and power Sulu is just like 

[septicstank]

even better: this planet is actually supposed to manifest whatever you’re thinking about at that particular moment, meaning that sulu was just strolling around on vacation thinking about Gun

[plain-flavoured-english]

this is 150% consistent with That Episode where the ship flies through an insanity cloud that makes the crew have tearful meltdowns meanwhile Sulu is just runing shirtless through the hallways with a fencing foil

this man’s personality is 30% chilling with plants, 70% historical weapons and manic glee

Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

[diamogeddon-likes]

IM SORRY WHAT

[imtoobiforyou]

WHAT

[midnightsylph1]

It took over 60 puppeteers to operate Audrey II’s final form in the film. You can read more about the puppet’s creation and operation here.

[inthenameofpeacewemakewar-deact]

The practical effects of Little Shop of Horrors was fucking astounding.  It’s worth it to mention that, in the scenes where the plant is moving, the filming was slowed to 12 to 16 frames a second, so that the film could be sped up to give the Audrey II a more lifelike appearance.  In such scenes where actors like Rick Moranis had to speak with the plant, he had to mouth his lines at a slower-than-normal speed while still looking convincing, only to have his voice added in post. 

It’s also worth mentioning that a crew of 60+ puppeteers were needed to operate the plant, as the entire puppet weighed over a ton. 

[countesspetofi]

It’s no coincidence that the movie was directed by Frank Oz, whom Jim Henson called the best puppeteer in the world.

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

[glumshoe]

Sometimes, sure, but why was Maid Marian a fox in Robin Hood? There wasn’t anything particularly “foxlike” about her personality, and it would make more sense for her to be a lion. They made her a fox only because Robin was a fox and making her something else would be “weird”, but I don’t think the wolf cop or the chicken maid or the lion prince were actually meant to represent race.

[countesspetofi]

The best inter species couple is Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits in A Muppet Christmas Carol, because all their sons are frogs and all their daughters are pigs, as God clearly intended.

[glumshoe]

there are only two genders: frog and pig

[forestdwellingrat]

I’ve pointed out to my friends that the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy’s kids are like that means either

1) they reproduce asexually and the children are clones of each parent OR

2) Kermit and Miss Piggy are members of the same sexually dimorphic species, hence the split between their male and female children

yes I have spent too long running about potential muppet biology

[glumshoe]

oh god

[sailor-lady]

Third option, when they want kids they get some fabric and make one, and hope a Hand inhabits it

[glumshoe]

Do you think there’s a ritual for inviting An Inhabiting Hand to possess the empty husk of your muppet baby?

[jenivi]

[aflowerthatbloomsinadversity]

Just wanted to show u guys that in Muppets Most Wanted, Piggy fantasizes about her and Kermit having babies and this is what they look like

So do with that what you will

[fremedon]

Recall that in The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie are brothers. And this was their dad (right):

[capitalism-and-analytics]

Thank you for specifying, which one of the two individuals in the picture was the dad haha

[la-pou-belle]

I, for one, think Shrek handled interspecies coupling the best. By this I am of course talking about the Dronkeys.

[kestrelsparverius]

[adrnired]

In season 3 of BoJack Horseman, we learn Diane (middle) has been impregnated by Mr. Peanutbutter (left). The fetuses are confirmed to be puppies.

[autisticexpression]

This is the worst addition to this post

[araku-validrava]

I am reminded of Treasure Planet.

In which Captain Amelia (left), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic cat, had hybrid babies with Doctor Doppler (middle), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic dog, whom also gave birth to the babies

[wizardlizardinhislair]

I always thought that in muppet movies like muppet Christmas Carol the characters are played by the muppets (so kermit is acting and playing the role of Bob rather than being him) so the kids in that film would just be other acting muppets right?

Or is that just something my brain made up?

Where should new fans of Sharon, well I say new but I've loved her since she first appeared in the MCU. What I should be asking is, what comic books would you recommend for us to read to get to know Sharon better? What are some of the best ones?

I've never read a Marcel comic book and don't half a clue about them.

well then luckily for you, yoyve come to the right place because i JUST put this list together on my tiktok and have it prepared.

most of early comics sharon's story isn't " canon " anymore ( her being peggy's sister, shields first female agent, etc ) but there's some gems in those old stories so i'm gonna start the list there :

- tales of suspense ( 1959 ) / issues 75 - 99 | don't worry about reading any of the EARLY cap vol1 unless you want to. this is really all you need to understand how her character was written in the 60s. it was a lot of cheesy romance, kinda soap opera - esque drama between the characters, etc. cap stories are known for their dramatics ( tbh you don't even really have to read her " death " bc it wasn't really a death anyways and you learn more abt it later than you do when it actually happened ).

- captain america ( 1968 ) / issues 445 - 454 | the start of mark waid's era, bringing her back from the dead. you'll hear from a lot of sharon fans that marm waid wrote their favourite sharon era from the writing, to the arc, to the artwork. tbph, if you started hear and skipped the early stuff, you'd probably be fine. you might be a bit irritated by her at first ( she's a very angry, polarizing character here ), but she'll grow on you.

- fury and agent 13 | 2 issue run that you won't find on marvel unlimited. technically doesn't happen until like issue 4 of vol3, but it doesn't really hurt to read it ahead of reading vol3 either.

- captain america ( 1998 ) | one of, if not the best, cap run to date. the run that ended mark waid's era and is ultimately a fantastic story through and through for every character in it.

- captain america ( 2004 ), civil war, captain america : reborn & who will wield the shield | the beginning of ed brubaker's era. another one of those writer eras that people agree is sharon's ( and steve's for that matter ) best. it's a bit more gritty than most cap comics, so if you do read it, prepare for the shift, but that was in preparation for civil war. quite frankly, as much as i love civil war, it's a long story and...it can be hard to get through the registration garbage. most characters are OOC and insufferable and honestly reading the 2004 run - tie ins & and an overview of the event itself, is probably just easiest. reborn and wwwts come after.

- the secret avengers ( 2010 ) / issues 1 - 18 | not much character development per say, but it's good run for stevesharon mush.

- captain america ( 2011 ) & captain america ( 2013 ) | both runs debatable in character development for sharon. they have a bit, but are obviously more focused on steve. 2013 run is important for her story going forward but that necessarily mean it's GOOD for her character & is regarded as a pretty weak cap run. an overview of both might suffice honestly.

- read an overview of secret empire. don't torture yourself.

- captain america ( 2018 ) | fantastic run that's HEAVY on sharon's side of the story. really tackles how she handles the aftermath of secret empire, her depleting youth, etc. ( also has peggy moments if you're into that but...quite frankly if you like her from the mcu, then honestly reading her in comics might frustrate you because she is...insufferable, to put it gently. )

and there you go! after that is coming the newest cap run, coming out this year, but i can't say anything on how that will handle her yet.
