Alaska just opened up covid vaccine eligibility to EVERYONE 16 and older

before tfatws comes out, i just want to get this out there (a rant):

disclaimer: i am not hating on bucky barnes or sebastian stan.

the show is called falcon and the winter soldier. it’s not called the bucky show. it’s not called the winter soldier show. i’ve seen too much of this out there even before the show has come out, where people have been complaining about the lack of lines bucky has, or how it feels to them like sam’s getting the focus of the show.

sam is currently one of the most visible (read: only) black superheroes in the mcu, as anthony mackie has touched on in multiple interviews. as of right now, he has a responsibility and a job that bucky does not, so the question that basically amounts to “why’s the black guy getting so much screentime” is tone deaf and appalling.

and to the people who direct these sentiments at anthony mackie as an actor: anthony mackie is finally getting the recognition he deserves, with the support of all his castmates (including sebastian stan), and it is not the place of primarily white fans to tell him he doesn’t deserve the spotlight just as much as sebastian for whatever reason, however dirty you feel bucky has been done in the mcu.

this breaks my heart. he has done nothing to feel this way aside from having mainly white costars, but that pattern should not continue for this show as well.

to continue the tangent of “bucky deserved the shield” or “sam isn’t worthy of the shield” or any of that to anthony mackie’s face, to disregard and downplay his so far incredible portrayal of sam wilson, a character that has been canonically disregarded by people to the point where most of america united behind the “not my captain america” movement (which is likely something he will struggle with in this show as well), only proves the purpose and validity of his role. 

so when the show comes out, i want to see everyone put some respect on samuel thomas wilson’s name. i don’t want to see sam sidelined for yet another white man, not when this is the show that was built to put him in the spotlight. i don’t want to see sam slander when he’s “taking away bucky’s spotlight.” they are sharing the spotlight. sam has as much of a right to it as bucky. and that is a fact.

i yield my time. <3

I'm curious, which languages do you guys speak/learn ?

Do u ever just think about the first time u met someone & then compare it to where u guys are now & its like wow who knew this would happen.

reproductive rights issues:

abortion

birth control

also reproductive rights issues:

doctors performing c sections during births without informed consent

eugenics via sterilization requirements for trans people to change documentation

eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of disabled people

eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of people of color

eugenics via selective abortion of disabled fetuses (fetuses with Down syndrome especially) (these are abortions sought by people who WANT to be pregnant–but only with non-disabled children, when there’s absolutely no guarantee that a non-disabled child won’t become disabled)

if your reproductive rights activism doesn’t incorporate ALL OF THE ABOVE, i want no part of it.
