when will “protecting family values” mean increasing aid for families in poverty and cracking down harder on abusive parents and assisting parents in paying for their children’s education instead of just being code for “we gotta stop the gays”

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

One reason it’s really exhausting having multiple marginalised identitities is that it’s basically impossible to cut yourself off from every person who hates you for one of your identities.

Consuming media, interacting with family, having friends, coworkers - there are always parts of yourself you have to do your best to play down for your own self-protection.

You’re constantly forced to make compromises and split your identity apart, because the one show that doesn’t have misogynist jokes has homophobic jokes, or your friends can handle you being poor but they’re super ableist.

It’s exhausting to navigate the world when you have to find acceptance piecemeal.

“they care about each other more than any of the avengers.” — The Russo’s about Natasha and Steve

[sanktacordelia]

I was thinking about the Sokovia Accords and Team Cap and realized something.

Signing the Accords essentially signed away the Avengers’ right to chose where they want/need to go to help, and will only be allowed to go where the government allows them. Of course, Steve is against this, considering his very sketch past with the government, but it goes farther than that, for several members of the team.

Tony claims that when he realizes his weapons/inventions are used for bad, he shuts it down. That’s because Tony is the producers of these weapons, the manufacturer. He isn’t the weapon, he just makes them. But that isn’t the case for Steve, Wanda and Bucky.

These three, all Team Cap, were created for the sole purpose to be a weapon. Steve was supposed to be the first of a whole army of Super Soldiers, weapons used to end the war. Wanda was created by HYDRA to be a weapon against the Avengers and anyone who stood in HYDRA’s way. Bucky was created to be an assassin, “the fist of HYDRA”. They only have their abilities because they were meant to be used against another cause.

But when Steve and Wanda joined the Avengers, they were in control. They weren’t being used by anyone, they were just doing it because the people needed it. Because someone needed to be the hero in the new, scary world that Earth had been introduced to the second Thor landed. They did it because they WANTED to, because they felt like that’s the least they could do with their abilities.

And the Accords come along, and take that away from them. Signing it would not only take away Steve and Wanda’s right to chose, but it would turn them back into a weapon. It would make them feel like that they aren’t even a person, just a weapon the government could use, and that’s the exact opposite of what they want.

So I could understand why Tony doesn’t see that. It’s because he never was a weapon, he was the person who made them. But Wanda, Steve and Bucky were all weapons, and they never want to go back to that again. And that explains why Wanda didn’t just chose Team Cap because of her loyalties to Steve, but because she never wanted to be a weapon again.

One time I used my retail voice on a coworker and she was like, “Don’t use your customer voice on me, I know you’re dead inside like the rest of us, it’s just frightening and weird”

[1980sbusinesswoman]

The other day I asked for a table for two in my customer voice and the waitress squinted at me and I cleared my throat and said “Sorry, still in service mode” and she dropped hers and we swapped stories about our day and my boyfriend was like “You two just became two entirely different people in like .5 seconds…”

[gritsinmisery]

I can be bitching up a blue streak about a customer-from-hell while the store is empty, and when the phone rings swap over to my retail voice practically in mid-sentence. I even have managers and salespeople from other stores in the chain fooled into thinking I’m infinitely friendly and helpful, and my manager’s husband thinks I’m one of the most professional people in the store. One assistant manager’s daughter dubbed me Perky-Pants because she mostly dealt with me over the phone, and was shocked to the core when I dropped an F-bomb at her graduation picnic.

[thesmilingfish]

The acting required in the service industry is beyond the pale. My cousin freaked out when she came to see me at work because I was all smiling and nice while helping someone who was asking inane questions and who basically forced me to walk them to the product and put it in their fucking hand but I was nice as pie until I turned around to walk away and my demeanor changed back to normal and I muttered “what a fucking moron” under my breath as I got back to my cousin. She just looked at me shocked and said “no wonder you’re so exhausted when you get home.”

I don’t like doing this, but

As I’m sure most of my mutuals know, Joe and I have been living in our current house for nearly a year. During this year, we’ve unfortunately discovered that our neighbours are extremely antisocial and extremely unhygienic. Within the year we have experienced:

- Screaming, shouting and fighting at all hours of the night

- Piles of rubbish and bin bags in their garden, including dirty nappies, food waste, furniture and more

- Blowfly from this refuse entering our house and laying their eggs, leading to maggots in our own home

- Parties all nights of the week, which led to physical violence when asked to quieten down

- Refuse being tossed into our garden and onto our bay window

- Damage to the fence we put up to attempt to stop their rubbish from entering our garden

- Shouting and threatening behaviour towards our cat

- Burning of refuse (including plastics, dirty nappies, etc)

- Rat infestations in our garden, which results in us having to kill multiple rats every day.

Besides the obvious unpleasantness of this situation, it has taken its toll on our mental health. Joe suffers from generalised anxiety disorder and watching him have a break down and go on compulsive cleaning sprees due to maggots and blowfly in our home is upsetting. As for myself, I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder, which I cope with by compulsively cleaning too, and BPD, with my coping mechanisms including disordered eating, among others. Our mental health is seriously deteriorating and due to the situation, my disordered eating has become increasingly worse, resulting in poor physical health.

We’ve been pursuing this case with multiple bodies for the entire time we’ve been living here. We have a variety of open cases with the local council, which includes:

- Environmental services

- Pest control

- Private renting standards

- Child protection bodies

- South Yorkshire police

Unfortunately, Sheffield has suffered major cuts to its funding, which means very little has been done about this situation. Environmental services ordered the neighbours’ landlord to rent a skip for the refuse in their garden, which was promptly overflowing within half an hour. Whilst the skip was taken away after a week, the refuse is now accumulating again in both their front garden and back garden. The issue hasn’t been solved and has frankly become worse, due to the removal of the refuse (it seems to have disturbed rat nests, leading to more in our garden).

Joe and I have now accepted that we have no choice but to move. We’ve spoken to our letting agents and the landlord who agree that we can’t live here any more. It’s damaging to both our physical and mental health and I’m worried for our cat also. I’m sure most of you know, renting is a money pit and whilst we’ve found a perfect new place in a lovely, quiet area, we need to source funds fast in order to move as quickly as possible. This wouldn’t be an issue, but I start a new job as a mental health support worker on Monday, and Joe starts his fully funded PhD in October.

In order to secure this safer, cleaner and quieter home, we need to source an intimidatingly large amount of money. With admin fees, the first month’s rent and deposits (never mind moving costs), we need in excess of £500. This is not something I like doing, but our neighbours are making our lives hell and I really cannot stay here for much longer. 

If any of you could help, with any amount of money, no matter how small that would be amazing. If you can’t help in a monetary sense, kind words and a rebagel of this post would be greatly appreciated, from both myself, Joe and the cat. 

Joe’s PayPal account is [email protected] and as I say, anything will help at this point in time. I’m at my wit’s end and I really cannot cope, and I know Joe is in very much the same place.

I’m sorry to have to do this, really. But we need out.

[iflewbikes-deactivated20181005]

We’re literally being driven out of our home by our neighbours.

I’ve lost count of how many rats we’ve had to kill now (seriously, I stopped keeping track because it was too depressing. It’s definitely more than 12).

It’s not safe for us to stay here. It’s awful because those of you who’ve visited us know how much we love our little place. Rest assured, come October, I’ll pay it forward and then some when I’ve got mechanic income and AHRA grant money coming in. Sadly though, that stability seems a long way away right now.

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

I know you’re being facetious, but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny.

Mammals have hair. Whales are mammals.

legalizing pot is 100% worthless if we as white people aren’t going to 1. release and forgive the sentences of those thrown in jail for pot, 2. actually allow black people into the legal pot industry w the same ease white people enter it and the same ability to get rich off it, and 3. stop fucking arresting black youth, not allow it to go up by 58 fucking %

I love Sam and Bucky’s pissy little relationship so much, it sustains me, it ascends me, every time Bucky kicks the back of Sam’s seat and pretends it was an accident, a stress wrinkle disappears from my face and appears on Sam’s

[andhumanslovedstories]

“Sorry, man,” Sam says as he keeps jamming his seat back into Bucky’s, “I don’t know why this keeps happening.”

“No problem, bro,” Bucky replies, trying to roundhouse kick while still safely buckled up. “It happens, bro.”

“Haha, buddy,” Sam says reclining straight into Bucky’s lap because this is the only way he is allowed to headbutt Bucky in the dick. “We’re so clumsy.”

“Haha,” Bucky replies, his eye gently twitching.

“It’s weird you guys are saying ‘haha’ aloud instead of just laughing,” Steve says, but no one is listening to him. He is very incidental to this car ride. There are two nemeses growing in this car. They are going to meet at some point on a plain during a thunderstorm. They’re going to die at each other’s hands, or at the very least Bucky is gonna drink Sam’s last Gatorade and Sam is gonna leave a very passive-aggressive note for him to find.

[therothwoman]

#I AM WEEPING#honestly the best thing to come out of cacw#cap 3#Bucky’s rehabilitation through snark#forget tenderness and feels and Sam’s experience with therapy#he’s just going to ANNOY Bucky back into being a person again#poor Steve just standing helplessly by as all his integrity and honesty and golden boy earnestness does almost nothing#and Sam just relentlessly annoying Bucky eventually brings back the Brooklyn drawl and a guy who can actually speak in complete sentences#mostly to tell Sam Fuck you
