Just Steve’s way of saying “fight me b*%ch
Ok, ok, but hear me out:
One day before an Avengers' press conference some bigoted conservative idiot gives an interview and at some point he says "I can't stand how they brainwashed our childs. I saw a teenager boy wearing a skirt yesterday and I was so disgusted by what they took our kids to do. I bet Captain America is so disappointed with the course our society took". Steve sees it and he isn't pleased to say at least.
The next thing people know is Steve going to the press conference using a skirt. Steve is letting no idiot use his image no hurt people.
Can I also be an ally? I solidly swear.. ✋🙋♀️

I feel it would be helpful to share this article I found by @urbancripple regarding the correct usage of the accessible stall in a public restroom; if you don’t need the accessible stall, you shouldn’t use it, even if the others are all full. As an able-bodied person, I am ashamed to not have been aware of this, and I wanted to spread the message.
The author has answered other questions regarding needing accessible restrooms and further clarified that the need for the accessible stall or accessible restroom doesn’t have to be because of a mobility issue, but it does have to be a need rather than a matter of convenience. Here are links to the other questions and answers about this:
Using the accessible stall to avoid an accident
When the only gender-neutral restroom is the accessible one
Using the accessible restroom for sensory sensitivity
Just one stall in the men’s room
you attack my heart
you are not immune to puyo puyo
Beyond Scrutiny
No, I am not confused and neither am I ashamed
My sexuality is my destiny and no one is to be 'blamed'
I go beyond labels of LGBTQ or straight
My love is my pride and not up for debate!
They whisper behind my back and mock me blatantly
Behind faux veils of progressiveness, they refuse to accept me
Why is my coming out met with downcast eyes and bitter despair?
How can embracing love create this ungodly air?
Over the years, patriarchy has been a worthy foe
It has tried to define me, often outrageously so
It seeps through the cracks, till it reaches your very soul
And shames you into being what society calls 'whole'
But why can't society realise that love goes beyond scrutiny
It is the embodiment of infinity and a long-awaited mutiny
So call me queer, call me strange
It is you, not me who has to change.

I hate how Terfs main argument is that a man could be dressed as a girl is going to hurt them when there is literally nothing stopping a cis man from just walking into a girls bathroom. Like you think a sign with the silhouette of a girl in a skirt is going to stop them? In their mind a skirt is an invitation.
Lights Out - The dark romance book. (No spoilers)
My thoughts.
This is the dark romance book I have experienced. I heard the audiobook version and dayyum, it's hot 🔥 and extreme for a first timer. I could only listen to it when I am alone, so that is only during my commute to the office and back home. It's an hour drive each way so that's plenty of time to listen to something.
From listening to music to dark romance stories, it made me so addicted first day itself. Okay coming to review of the Lights Out. It is a simple story line with detailed sex scenes. That's the beauty of dark romance stories. I loved it a lot. My di*k was hard all the time while I was driving. It was pushing against my jeans so hard that I thought it would rip the zips apart. That proved I enjoyed the story a lot. I didn't miss the chance to even stroke myself during heavy traffic time. Hope nobody saw, I was too feral that moment. 🥵🥵
There is a beautiful suspense in the first half of the story so I can't go in detail without spoiling it. The sexual encounters will keep you hooked for sure. The female character Ally's thoughts are pretty detailed which makes it so hot because we rarely get to know what is going on in the girl's mind during sex scenes.
Highly recommended to read or listen to it.
If you need the audioboom version, let me know I can share it with you.
Credits go to my best friend who recommended it ❤️. This book was a turning point in our friendship too. That's a story on its own!
The best part, imo, of both of today's eps is not Matt finally putting the Daredevil suit on, nor Fisk starting to snap, nor Muse finally getting screen time, and not even the shit ton of symbolism (religious and otherwise) smacking you in the face.
It's that Yusuf Khan watched Matt beat up a banker robber and then unlock a bank vault, and was like "I am gonna mind my own fucking business I don't want any more information about this Thank You Very Much!"

The popularity of ATSV was so funny cause Gwen having a trans metaphor storyline really had people trying to explain why ally representation supersedes actual queer representation

Reblog to let your followers know you are a safe person to come out to.
Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly. The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”! I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe! PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)
As someone who has taken college courses on colonialism, can I just say that the idea that colonized groups or groups that were forced into slavery lived in these perfect societies where no one was discriminated against and everyone was happy until the white man came is literally based on racism. Like, it’s LITERALLY the myth of the noble savage. It’s the same concept that led to things like the Disney version of Pocahontas and other offensive misrepresentations of Native Americans and Africans across popular culture. It’s an incredibly harmful stereotype. No race, ethnicity, or group of people was ever perfect. No one had the answers. No one had everything figured out. Colonialism was BAD, but it wasn’t bad because it ruined paradise. It was bad because it killed and hurt people, destroyed culture, and had harmful impacts for generations to come. So can we stop pushing racist stereotypes as some “woke” ideology, please? Thank you.
So I went to pride on Saturday. (I’m pansexual btw in case you didn’t know.)
