I Cant Believe This Bro The Hopes Of The Entire Footballing World (minus Engl*nd) Now Rests In The Hands

i can’t believe this bro the hopes of the entire footballing world (minus engl*nd) now rests in the hands of a 16 year old who has to do homework while at the euros like how has it come to this

Her love for Star Wars is actually next level and it is wild how much of a piece of shit some of the so called fans are to her. She is one of us!

Dude, how can it be that every single fucking thing about US politics trends on here immediately, yet when 27 countries in the EU vote and there's a historic, alarming lurch to the right (far right parties have won the elections in Italy, Austria and France), it's not even trending? In Germany, the AFD, a right-wing populist, anti-democratic, racist party with a wing that is officially extremist (read: Nazis) and is in parts monitored by the office for the protection of the constitution, is the second strongest party (also among 17-24 year olds!). Guess I'll die.

Racists will always be mad. But now an entire new generation of black kids get to grow up with black Jedi that aren't just Mace Windu. Bell Zettifar. Kai Brightstar. Yord Fandar. Mae Aniseya. Kelleran Beq. This isn't even all of them but they are in the biggest medias.

I was scrolling through merch and saw kids Kai Brightstar costumes for halloween and my heart exploded remembering when I was in a walmart years ago near halloween and a little black boy ran past me to scream at his mom that he could be Falcon for Halloween. When I was baby sitting my chinese friends little brother and showed him Keenan Kong Chinas Superman and he said "So I can be Superman for Halloween?" Like he at age 10 already thought he couldn't be.

This matters. All the negativity doesn't matter because so many star wars loving families and kids are getting to tune in and for the first time in their lives see so many people reflecting them. Their hair being celebrated and styled completely casually on TV. Their softness and power. Their importance and impact.

Even in Young Jedi Adventures Bell Zettifar spends the episode with Kai teaching him about patience and not being reckless. Bonding together and being a positive almost sibling like relationship. There's a black Princess in the show as well.

Regardless of all the hate and negativity this is so so so important and I tear up thinking about all the little kids and older fans finally seeing this because I know its already brought me to tears
