Can we talk about how Steve Rogers would probably fight to keep abortion legal and safe, because he saw how many people used to die back in the day because all abortions were illegal and unsafe and he knows if a person is pregnant and don’t want to be pregnant they will find a way to not be pregnant?
Can we talk about Steve Rogers telling off right wing politicians who say minimum wage isn’t supposed to be a living wage? Can we have him saying ‘No, I remember when it was instituted. It was supposed to be a living wage, senator.’
Can we talk about Steve Rogers supporting a raise in SNAP benefits, because he knows how it feels to go hungry?
Can we talk about Steve Rogers having problems with this country’s military industrial complex?
Steve Rogers is a firm believer of museums giving back the artefacts that they stole, not only because he genuinely believes people deserve to have their things back, but also because the Smithsonian refuses to give him back he shit, and if he doesn't get his family recipe book his mother's jacket and his father's hat, god willing he will-
Thor, post-coronation: heimdall you have committed treason quite frequently
Heimdall: yes, my king
Thor: can I trust you to commit treason against me should it become necessary?
Heimdall: of course, my king
Thor: you’re already planning treason, aren’t you
Heimdall: it’s how our government stays functioning
Thor: good, good. Well, don’t let me stop you, just make sure to surprise me when it happens
Natasha what do you MEAN half the intelligence community doesn’t believe the winter soldier exists. He comes in like a wrecking ball. He’s blowing stuff up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. He has an ENTOURAGE. He’s ripping the steering wheel OUT OF YOUR CAR ON THE FREEWAY. This man has gone to the Steve Rogers School of Simply Throwing Myself At The Enemy. They done did brainwash his whole life outta him but they couldn’t make him forget that style of fighting.
a coven of chaos indeed
Advent Drawble day 2! Happy Hanukkah!
sometimes i watch golden girls and i just tear up remembering everything each cast member did for the queer community
estelle getty lost her nephew to AIDS and moved in with him during the last months of his life to take care of him. she started a foundation that cares for people affected by AIDS that's still there to this day. she saw one of the writers on her show was queer, walked right up to him and said "you're one of us!" and promised to protect him. she put her career on the line to become an outspoken ally of AIDS patients at a time when it would've been career suicide
bea arthur was a staunch gay and trans ally who donated a lot of her time and money to helping homeless lgbt youth. when she died, she left them thousands of dollars to stay afloat after she was gone. she was incredibly socially active in the queer community!
rue mcclanahan was a staunch advocate of marriage rights for gay couples and openly devoted her time and money for the fight for equality. she also openly participated in queer spaces and loved the community with her entire heart. she was intimately aware of gay mens' particular love for her character blanche and she fully embraced it
everybody knows by now about betty white's activism, but i'll say it anyway. not only did she join the fight for marriage equality, but she was a great mother to her lesbian stepdaughter. she participated in anti-bullying campaigns specifically against lgbt youth. she accompanied liberace to events because it wasn't safe for him to be out. she loved us and she fought for us just like the others
all four of them did SO MANY amazing things for us, and it makes me happy that we had people like them -- that we still do in people like dolly parton! we didn't deserve them. i wish i could've met all of them and told them how grateful i am!
something i find hilarious about the mcu is that in modern times the founders of shield are absolutely worshiped, to the point that jemma simmons freaks out about seeing something that peggy carter once held, and then you watch agent carter and find out that in reality the founders of shield were a gang of rage-filled, PTSD-riddled, disaster-magnet 25-year-olds whose top hits include kidnapping a man using a tranquilizer gun meant for koalas and then convincing him he has malaria, being reticent to help defuse a bomb because he has a souffle in the oven for his wife, literally moving across the country because he mistakenly thought his crush didn’t like him back, attempting to blackmail his only friend with information that wasn’t even true, and nearly accidentally committing mass genocide on the people of new york city because he couldn’t keep it in his pants
