White lesbian demisexual transwoman with strong views on a lot of stuff. I reblog interesting things, social justice, LGBTQ+ related stuff, and whatever else I feel like.
Have fun.

I’m still amazed that Truth: Red, White & Black actually exists, that Marvel let this subversive, brutally honest book about the dark side of the Captain America legacy actually get published under its own name. Reading it is almost like realizing, “Of course! This was part of the Captain America mythos all along, but it just took this book to actually spell it out.” Steve Roger’s dark mirror isn’t the Winter Soldier; it’s Isaiah Bradley who is tested and tortured without his consent, but went on to be a hero despite what was done to him. For that, he was locked up and experimented on some more, and opposed to the forever-young and beloved Captain America, in present-day Marvel comics, he’s disabled from all the trauma America has put him through. One more person chewed up and spat out in our quest for our national destiny.
Black bodies have always been expendable to the American government. You only have to look at the news about how we used minority soldiers as test subjects for chemical weapons to see why they’d use a black unit of soldiers to re-create the super soldier serum. It’s awful and true, and this story is a way of making Americans look at that history we are so good at pushing under the rug.

TRUTH: Red, White & Black – The Story of the First Captain America
This Saturday, the Los Angeles Times posted The Millennial Pledge, which is now mandatory by law for millennials in most planes of existence. Check with your local officials for more information.
If you weren’t around this weekend, check out this comic I posted on Saturday! If you were around this weekend, you can also check it out, I don’t have a problem with that.
I just want to say: the writer of the Millennial pledge is obviously not a millennial. Also, that entire article is conceited as fuck.
Oh but it is!! These lovely screen shots are from Neko Samurai!!
Basically Dog-Gang hires dude above (Kyutaro) to kill Cat-Gang’s beloved Cat but the cat is too cute to kill and Kyutaro “accidentally” catnaps the cat and angers both gangs. It’s a wild ride.
This is *huge*. Yes, it will still be difficult for people with fibro. But, at least now, those who need to get disability can’t have the argument thrown at them that “well it’s not a real condition; it has no diagnosis code!”
This is progress! If you get any doubters, tell them that it is officially recognized by the US Healthcare Industry.
