I kinda can’t believe that it’s 2016 and Marvel has released a *solo film about Doctor Strange*…and DC hasn’t even acknowledged that Batman has children yet.
Idk why i decided to make this.
AU where A-Qing lives and she be around the same age as the juniors and they be scamming people together

“Give me a healthy teen romance!’
“Give me a queer couple!”
“Give me biracial couples!”
“Give me queer and biracial couples! And this time wlw”
“Now give me a queer, biracial, wlw couple and one of them is deaf!”
In conclusion: The Dragon Prince is one of the best shows on rn and the amount of representation, especially with the couples in it, is just great. Go watch it!
Bi pride. And problems
This is amazing
This was a joke but I just had to do it
Do I love Black Paladin Lance?
Yes, I do. Very much.
And do I love these lions?
WHAT A QUESTION.
Watch the video till the very end please (the end is when the explosion goes off.)
I live in Lebanon and the fiercest explosion went off in the midst of Beirut today, killing off an ungodly amount of human beings (more and more people are dying as I write this) and injuring up to 5000 people whose cases are immensely critical. Today,, at approximately 6 pm, hospitals were completely torn to shreds, people have been buried underneath fallen buildings, fires have been ignited almost everywhere, blood staining the streets in an excruciating manner, in addition to people that flew and fell to the sea due to the impact of the explosion. And it is certainly worth mentioning the millions upon millions' worth of damages what with buildings and cars and stores. Plenty of people are missing, it's an overall mess that is quite frankly very traumatizing.
What Lebanese people have been undergoing in recent times:
Lebanon has been going through a major economical decline that grows worse and worse by the day. The prices have heightened and the salaries remain the same, scarcely anyone has the capacity of affording basic needs anymore. There has been an unfolding revolution the past year, and the lebanese society has been protesting against the humiliation thrust upon our lives due to our miserable excuse for a government, and though the streets bled with thrashing, screaming citizens fighting for their utmost basic human rights, that caused mere to no change in the way things go around here, in fact, it only made it worse. We're being provided with, metaphorically, a droplet's worth of water and nearly no electricity, a pregnant woman has even passed away recently due to a heat stroke (as there were no means of cooling off)
What caused the setting off of this explosion?
The ignorance, heartlessness, and overall brutality of the government and the people in control.
A critical amount of chemicals (2700 tons of ammonium and other nitrates) were left inside a ship along the port of Beirut, and though the people in charge of this transaction were warned that heat and perspiration have the capability of destroying the whole of Lebanon in ode to a massive explosion, they refused to do anything about it and left the chemicals in there for years on end.
Up until, surprise surprise, the explosion went off and devestated Lebanon almost entirely.
I don't have much followers, and I know that this post isn't going to magically heal what is unfolding in this, priorly gorgeous, magnificent country, but I truly hope with all my heart that you find it within yours to spread awareness on this topic so that it would be more widespread,, so that Lebanon gets the aiding it deserves and the people from outer places slap the 'big bosses' awake, or at least pressure them into resigning, whatever it takes to make this place sufferable, tolerable, somewhere you can picture yourself residing in.
Lebanon is a place of infinite traditions, diversity, creativity, joy, and love. Most of the people here are open-hearted and wholesome. We all deserve far better.
My heart aches for the people that have passed away today, and I shall pray for the ones stuck in hellish suffering.
This is important.
The Jedi make a lot more sense if you look at them through the lens of harm reduction.
A lot of criticisms run along the lines of "they lost the moral high ground by joining the war" and framing the discussion like that misses the point entirely.
It was never about having an arbitrary amount of Good Guy Points at the end of the day. It was about lessening harm as much as their position allowed.
In fact, if you go into any discussion about how to help people with the idea that there is a moral high ground, you've already lost! You are having the wrong conversation. Keep walking.
There is no good or bad here. Just people.
I don't want people to do hard drugs, because it's bad for them. However, I cannot wave a magic wand and make people stop wanting to do drugs. You know what I can do, though? Support a needle exchange program!
I don't want people to do hard drugs, but I've accepted that a needle exchange will alleviate suffering. Does increasing access to harmful drugs go against my personal sense of ethics? Sure! Does that change the fact that needle exchanges help people survive long enough until they can get into treatment? Nope!
The war was never gonna vanish if the Jedi resisted being drafted. They realized that. They understood that the way they could do the most good, spare the most lives, was by accepting the appointment and having some power to effect change rather than none at all.
Is it a perfect solution? Of course not! But harm reduction is about accepting that there are no perfect solutions, and that you are sometimes gonna have to do shit you don't personally like in order to help.
Helping people is not about your ego. It doesn't matter how you feel about the zoomed-out conceptual view, because your personal feelings have no bearing on someone else's suffering.
Anytime the argument drifts into bleating about how peacekeepers shouldn't fight, the thread is lost.
