Sharon Carter? More like Karen Sharter. 

She is NOT a real patriot.

Why was Isaiah recognised as a victim, but not Bucky?

(Just to be completely clear this is not me trying to take away any attention or downplaying the horrible and horrific things that was done to Isaiah in any way. Its just me wondering why they recognise Isaiah as a victim, but not Bucky)

Yes Isaiah went through racism as well, which is obviously horrible. But other than Isaiah and Bucky have a lot of parallels.

Had the supersoldier serum forced on them

Imprisoned for decades before managing to escape

Experimented on without their consent during their entire imprisonments

Tortured and abused during their entire imprisonments

Lost almost all of their loved ones because they died during the decades they were imprisoned

Lost everyone and everything they knew before their imprisonments

In tfatws they recognise what was done to Isaiah and that he was a victim as they should, but for Bucky they do the opposite.

For an example, lets look at how they talk about what dr Nagel admitted to. Dr Nagel dehumanised Isaiah and worked on samples from him from around 2014 to 2018 so around 30 years after Isaiah managed to escape, and they recognised the horribleness of that as they should. However he also admitted to working on the winter soldier program (aka the torture, abuse and anything else that went into keeping Bucky as the winter soldier) from around 1992 to 2014. So he was participating in Buckys torture and abuse for over 20 years! But that isnt even mentioned after dr Nagels said it and explained that was the only reason he was hired by the government and was able to experiment with the samples taken from Isaiah in the first place. Dr Nagel literally admitted to being one of Buckys abusers for over two decades, and no one even mentioned it?! No one called him out on what he had done to one of the main characters?! What the hell?!

I mean for all the talk about how Buckys trauma isnt more valid than others, the same isnt said for any of the other characters. All trauma is valid and should be treated like it! And just as Buckys trauma isnt more valid than Isaiahs, it goes the other way too. So why do they validate Isaiahs trauma and victimhood but do the opposite for Buckys? Is it because Isaiahs was racially motivated? I mean obviously that adds another layers, but Buckys trauma also has additional layers (what they did to his mind and being used as a weapon). However I would never invalidate either of them, because I recognise how wrong that is. Unfortunately the writers and creators of tfatws clearly didnt realise that.

this is what she said:

this is a direct response to all the people whose reaction to what’s happening in iran is a calling them islamophobic and blocking them, furthering the oppression they’re experiencing by the government’s hands. please read this, and repost it on Twitter or Instagram and stop the misinformation from spreading

picketing terf conferences is OUT, releasing 6000 live crickets into the audience of a terf conference and watching chaos erupt as everyone scrambles to evacuate is IN

Martial Arts Energy Breakdown

Every living being has two types of energy within them. The first is what is known as Ki. The physical energy. Ki is the remnants of the energy created in the Big Bang, and with special training, Ki can be burned to create micro scale big bangs, which vastly increases the power one is able to exert. Ki is primarily used for physical enhancement and direct energy attacks, though certain techniques can grant ki specialized properties, such as Ripple breathing granting one’s Ki the properties of sunlight. Ki can be shared with others.

The second form of energy is known as Reiryoku, the Energy of the Soul. Reiryoku is a reflection of one’s inner self, which on the one hand gives it a much wider variety of potential powers, but once an ability is developed, tends to be limited to that ability. A Martial Art known as Nen allows one to control the development of their spiritual abilities along certain lines, whereas less controlled methods can lead to the spontaneous manifestation of fully formed abilities, such as Stands. 

Beings who have eaten of a special fruit, as well as their descendants, have the ability to combine Ki and Reiryoku into a new form of Energy called Chakra, which combines the properties of both together.

Getting tired of seeing big posts that are basically like "look there are gay Palestinians too that's why you should support them!" like how about we support them because they're facing a genocide how about that?

Megatron: He may have been your father, but he’s not your daddy.

Will bumblebee or hot rod see there parents on the decepticons side 🤔 🙃

Highly unlikely as none of them were remotely interested in the Decepticon agenda!

Bee’s father, egregiously, is something of a Functionist, so if it’s one thing Bee and Megs can agree on, it’s punting him into a flaming dumpster.

Is maccadam an alchohol supplier for megatron's bar?

Nope! I think I’ll have Maccadam’s be the name of the diner Optimus and Bulkhead work at (and previously Bee)

I think I’ll have the names of ships/certain tf hubs and what not be the names of bars/clubs idk, keeping it constant

like the club Nemesis, and a lowly bar Death’s Head, The Garrison as another bar—but also a certain underground fight club and dark trading ring

Locations and such are still a wip!! But hmmm the EPF headquarters absolutely has been nicknamed the Steelhaven (tunnels and tunnels of grimey barred confines masked by a shiny exterior would be responsible for that) and I think I’ll have the entire complex that Bulk, Bee, Prowl, Optimus—and Ratchet with his tiny clinic at street level— be dubbed the Ark as a inside joke maybe simply because the building is filled with misfits of all kinds :D

A Palestinian father playfully balances his son on his right hand at the beach in Gaza City early one evening.

The coast of Gaza has grown increasingly popular over the years. It had always been a sight for weary eyes but with Israel’s siege denying Gazans the freedom to move, its seemingly endless seascape offers, for many, a very tangible escape, even if only temporal. It has also become a very popular family destination. Entire meals are prepared, served, and eaten here, and it is not uncommon to stay the night, father, son, and all.
