#no one’s fighting you?

One thing I’ve appreciated about Phineas and Ferb since childhood is how kind the narrative is to Candace (and all the other girls and teen girls, for that matter) Phineas and Ferb actually adore her. (I mean the third episode is about them carving her face into Mount Rushmore for her birthday) Her parents clearly love her. Perry loves her. Her friends, her Jeremy. I always forget Buford has a crush on her until he throws in the occasional line. Yes we have “the mysterious force” and her constantly being gaslit by seemingly the universe itself, but it is made abundantly clear that the gaslighting is entirely unintentional, on her family and friends part, excluding Perry I suppose.

One of the most iconic songs is about Vanessa and Candace meeting and wanting to help each other. Cause people do believe her. People do like her.

I just feel like it would be very easy, expected even to be like “hey, look at this buzzkill annoying loser older sister character!” Have Jeremy only like her when she’s pretending to be someone else, have an episode where Phineas and Ferb pull increasingly terrible pranks on her, Perry considers leaving her behind during an impromptu rescue cause she’s just so annoying.

I mean this was pitched to Disney. How mean spirited can your concept get under that brand before it’s rejected? However, Phineas and Ferb makes no attempt to push that envelope. You’re not supposed to hate Candace. You’re supposed to root for her, too.

Of all the “as a woman, I appreciate this.” moments you can have as a female artist cringey enough as this is to admit Phineas and Ferb is one of the cartoons I feel that with not gonna lie. 2nd dimension is supremely iconic for that reason too.

just saw the new Superman and yknow what I keep thinking about?.. when he’s fighting Luthor’s diversion in Metropolis, Clark is making every effort to isolate it to a relatively open space (the park). damages are at a minimum. but that takes time, it’s not efficient enough, so then the corporate-funded Justice Gang shows up - and oops, suddenly buildings are being swept off their foundations, civilians in direct line of fire, the city core is getting ripped apart. he’s scrambling to save children, squirrels, people caught in the red zone while the others are more interested in punching the big monster. the story makes it absolutely clear that corporations don’t care about life or harm reduction, and in a world in which superheroes are already normalized, this kindness is what sets Superman apart

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

Steve has the worst case of wrong time/wrong place and keeps getting unknowingly filmed in public and posted online.

Sometimes he accidentally wanders into the background of someone’s shot. Sometimes someone tries to stop him to ask him questions for one of those street interviews. Sometimes someone is a creepy weirdo and just filming him without permission.

Steve’s notable and noticeable because he’s hot and kinda a weirdo. Robin is a number one Steve defender though so she’s always in the comments warding off creeps.

Her favorite example of this was when a girl posted a video complaining that people were so unfriendly nowadays. Her example is that she sees this guy at the park all the time and she always says hi to him, and he always ignores her.

She demonstrates this by flipping the camera around to Steve on his morning run. He goes past her, she says hi, and Steve doesn’t acknowledge her.

She complains that he’s not cute enough to be ignoring people trying to be nice.

Robin simply commented, ‘He’s deaf 🫶’
