9/11 is coming up - and with it, a sharp spike of anxiety that always accompanies the anniversary. each year our community deals with attacks, threats, even deaths. each anniversary i don’t leave my house. i don’t go to the masjid.

i remember the time someone shot up the side of our mosque when we were inside

i remember the time someone chased two young hijabis with a taser

i remember the time someone intentionally swerved towards me when i was crossing the street and i stood frozen in fear

i remember the time someone slipped a knife threat into my mailbox

or the times my friends and i have been verbally assaulted in crowded public spaces and nobody said a word

call out racism and islamophobia when you see it. check in on your muslim neighbors and friends. refuse to tolerate the bigotry and hate that takes lives and spreads fear - both in public and online. stand united with us against hate.

Seizure First Aid. 

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it. 

I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

Would it kill women to not assume that every single male is a sexual predator?

Yes actually. Yes it can literally kill us to not assume that men around us are sexual predators and take precautions accordingly.

Because it only takes one dangerous predatory guy to traumatize or even kill us and there’s a lot of them and none of you wear signs.

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

Archive.org is facing a lawsuit

tldr: the Internet Archive/WayBack Machine is super important in term of archived content, billions of stuff are on there, and with the current event happening in the world like stated above,without this tool, it will be hard to properly document what took place. It will be easy for certain people to rewrite history. Dont let them.

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO REBLOG THIS.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT DOESN'T GO WITH YOUR BLOG'S THEME.

And yes, REBLOG. Liking does no shit at all. This isn't ig.

You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

This could save someone's life. It's not a joke.

your tag “sometimes a historian is someone who etches marks on the wall to catalogue your growth” made me clutch my chest and sit down. yes. i’m literally going into a public history grad program next year and you just casually summed up the entire field and why i love it. thank you

here is a gravestone from ancient Athens, a young girl with her favorite pets.

here is a food-sharing scene from the Maya site Calakmul. when they remodeled the building, the people there packed this mural with mud to preserve it.

here is a child’s footprint stamped into clay in Mesopotamia more than 2000 years ago. many of these have been found, and some are inscribed with the children’s names. 

we don’t want to forget each other. that’s history.

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Ayo and Bucky: Trust.

Looking into Bucky breaching Ayo's trust in him

Ayo and Bucky share(shared?) a bond, maybe a friendship even. They trusted each other.

The wakandans helped Bucky get through decades of trauma when they absolutely did not have to. They put in their time and resources. Bucky trusted Ayo with his mind. Which is A BIG DEAL considering he did not trust his own mind. He trusted her enough to go through his trigger words with her because he knew she'd handle it if things went south. And she was gentle with him, and genuinely happy when he was finally free. It didn't seem like she considered it as just a job. She seemed just as relieved as he did. She's seen him go through the whole process of desensitization to those trigger words and she stayed by him to the very end.

Ayo trusted Bucky too. Ayo is Dora Milaje. Remember what Okoye said? Wakanda always comes first. Their duty to the country and their king always comes first. It is the purpose of their life. And Ayo had to deal with the guilt and disappointment of failing at that duty when her king was murdered. Now imagine how she would've felt when the man who killed her king was freed from imprisonment by this person that she trusted. How are some of you going to ignore that kind of disappointment? Because your favorite was momentarily hurt or because you genuinely cannot accept the fact that Ayo is capable of emotions? Have you never been let down or betrayed by a friend? Ever? That shit feels terrible. What bucky did, without prior notice, was essentially a fuck you to everything she and her job stands for. So her disappointment and anger toward bucky is 100% justified.

But she still gave him time. Why? Because she still trusted him. If he says it's a means to an end, then it probably is. She was patient with him when she absolutely didn't have to be considering the weight of the situation because she trusted him. So she gave him time.

Now the fight with walker? That's just that. A fight with Walker because the man just had to be the alpha dog in the room. Bucky and Sam engaged in the fight so that the Dora Milaje wouldn't kill him, because they very well could. The grace time they gave was up and they mean business, their focus was zemo. Walker was just an inconvenience.

My theory is that if it hadn't been for walker, bucky and ayo would've, without a doubt, had a civil conversation again. But everybody got involved in the fight. Yes, ayo yanking the arm out made me uncomfortable and yes, maybe bucky felt hurt/confused. Because I'm pretty sure there were other ways of disarming him instead of actually removing his arm off? It was invasive and unnecessary. But he didn't look betrayed, more so shocked. Shocked that that was possible at all and that was also when he realized he fucked up. And he steps back instantly. They're all warriors, all soldiers. Bucky is highly trained soldier and a skilled assassin who has decades worth of experience in combat. They're grown ass people who know how a fight works. There isn't much room for civility. And what ayo did was not to show him who's boss or anything like that (as much as all the jokes on here make it seem so). She did it out of anger and hurt. They were comrades who trusted each other and that trust was breached by bucky first. It was not her fault because she just used a failsafe that was there for extreme measure.

You shouldn't be dismissing Ayo's feelings and disappointment just because she's not bawling her eyes out about it. You can feel bad for bucky without babying him or ignoring his mistakes. For fucks sake, look at them as whole people/characters and not just good vs bad because everything in this show is gray.

Hey everyone! A lot of you on here don’t really know me, but my name is Nico and I’m a trans Chinese man.
