my piece for the @gojogetozine :) thanks for having me! if you missed out their aftersales are open now .
a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.
you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.
if you're gonna say the marauders, include peter too! give peter personality! if you believe in cannon, the reason his betrayal was so heartbreaking was because they were such good friends! peter is one of the marauders, they're all best friends with their own dynamics in their relationships with each other. stop making him this little boy obsessed with james or just this guy you're forced to include. include peter too!!
consider this a peter pettigrew appreciation post, and expect headcannons for him coming soon :)
When you're nervous about ticcing in public but being nervous makes your tics worse so you tic more which makes you more nervous and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I feel weird and nervous about everything goodbye
i’m not doing bad enough to deserve or need help because i’m happy sometimes and i can usually function “normally”.
but i have cuts covering my arm and i’m eating badly.
but i shouldn’t be doing those things because i should be able to cope and i’m not doing that badly.
but i clearly can’t cope if i’m resulting to these negative coping mechanisms.
but i’m not like going to kms or anything.
but i wouldn’t be complaining if i didn’t wake up tomorrow.

People who say Wanda enslaving a small town as a way to cope with grief are used to seeing women suffer instead of women getting angry.
This fetishism of tragedy, having to make sure a woman's emotional expression fits in with the traditional feminine narrative - crying, not screaming; hysterical but not violent - focusing on the victimhood instead of anger when it's righteous, is a product of internalised misogyny. Most of the time, women are societally conditioned to induce sympathy rather than show their strength.
What she did was wrong, on all levels. But was it an expected response to losing everything, for the, what, second, third time? Absolutely. Wanda deserves to experience anger in all it's ugly, hurtful blaze. She deserves to "punch a hole in the drywall" so to say, on par with her male counterparts. It doesn't make her actions right, but it offers some insight.
I doubt that was what Marvel was trying to show us, being a product of corporate moneymaking conveyor and all, but that's what I took personally.
Yall need to remember that no matter how popular a fic gets (even if it’s literally the most popular fic on ao3) it still goes against fandom etiquette to publicly hate on it or say that it’s bad. Those opinions belong in private conversations or in your private bookmarks, nowhere else. Fanfics are gifts that we aren’t entitled to, and we have to treat them as such.
I think I've been too nice online. I think a lot of politicians should die and I want the record to show that
