I actually really like the idea of Buck and Eddie having some sort of queer platonic relationship going on. 🤔 Platonic love can be just as deep as romantic love.
So it's Buck with both his husband Tommy and his partner in life Eddie. I'd love that, actually.
Hello, JSTOR!
Would you have any collections of fairy tales and folktales? Or articles about their origins?
Here's a search we ran for open access fairy tale content, and another for open access folktale content 🧌
Actually. It’s very important that s8 has a tea party episode. I want to see Buck and Chimney crammed into a tiny table while Jee-yun serves them tea. Very important.
I absolutely hate to do and say this bc yall know I love Sam but with the Cap 4 trailer coming out today, I wanna let everyone know that Sabra or “Ruth” 🙄 is still very much in the movie and a lead. And in case y’all don’t know, not only is she a lead, but the actress is an IDF soldier in real life. Personally, I’m likely going to boycott the movie and may not even watch it via pirating depending on how this plays out. And it’s okay if anyone else feels the same way, we may love Sam and Cap movies but that’s not worth supporting a real life Zionist and IDF soldier
I got angry about the MCU again (hence the repost spiral)
Boycott them bitches 😌
On the topic of Disney boycotts, Marvel's Captain America 4, titled Captain America: Brave New World (previously titled Captain America: New world order.)
Will be the MCU debut of the superhero, Sabra.
An Israeli superhero, sponsored by the Israeli government.
Sabra aka Ruth Bat-Seraph made her comics debut in 1981 working for what's basically the Israeli secret service.
The comic cover she first appeared in, The Incredible Hulk #256, depicts her blasting the Hulk as a dead Palestinian boy lays in the rubble.
With the caption: Power and Peril in the Promised Land!
The Palestinian boy, called Sahad who was depicted as an illiterate theif was stealing a watermelon from a fruit cart in Tel Aviv.
That Sabra sees as inhuman until the Hulk convinced her otherwise. "It had taken the Hulk to make her see this dead Arab boy as a human being."
Disgusting.
Doesn't even refer to him as Palestinian.
Sabra also shares the same name as the Sabra and Shalita Massacre in Lebanon.
A massacre that many agree Israel holds responsibility for allowing.
And yes, Sabra was created before this atrocity but that doesn't mean they aren't associated with each other years later. Especially with Israel's involvement.
See Israel who are also currently bombing Lebanon.
Marvel has stated they will go with a new appprach for Sabra.
But Marvel is owned by Disney. The same company who donated Israel 2 million dollars...yeah I'm sure you're gonna make her less like an Israeli propaganda machine.
An IDF soilder is not a hero, start there.
The BDS movement has called for a boycott of Captain America 4 because of the character of Sabra, an Israeli superhero who kills Palestinians, played by ex IDF soldier Shira Haas, an anti-Palestinian actress who has made propaganda for Israel.

VERIFIED FUNDRAISERS FOR PALESTINIANS❗❗❗
rewatching the hobbit trilogy after lotr rewatch and I cannot explain how much I love Bilbo Baggins he is one of my favorite characters of all time and his characterization and performance in the movies is the main reason i have any sort of fondness for them in hindsight.
the amount of which i love bilbo is only matched by how badly i would beat that racist rat martin freeman with a baseball bat in the streets ON SIGHT
In ~these times~ it is important for queer people to be reminded of what "coming out" originally meant. "Coming out" did not mean telling all of your co-workers something super stigmatized and vulnerable about you, wearing your queer status on your sleeve in public, informing the police or government institutions about your sexuality, or even telling your parents. "Coming out" meant venturing out into the queer community; being among other queers as a queer yourself.
Coming out isn't about telling the entire world when doing so is not safe for you, it's not about arming your enemies with information they could use against you. No, coming out is about making a fulfilling queer life possible for yourself through participation in the queer community. It is about escaping the restrictions and dangers of the cisgender heterosexual world by rooting oneself more deeply into the queer one.
And you can always do that. No matter how oppressed we are. No matter how much the culture shifts and policies are enacted to terrorize us. We are always able to be ourselves when we are amongst each other. And living our queerness has always been a collective social project, not just a matter of personal exposure.
