Every now and then I see a Tumblr-viral post pop up on my feed that's basically "THE MARVEL MCU FILMS ARE MILITARY PROPAGANDA, SHEEPLE!" and I can see that argument being made for the very first Iron Man movie, but now...? I mean, so far we've had time travel, cosmic power, alternate realities, talking trees, Norse deities and that's just scratching the surface. I really don't get "OOO RAH! 'MERICA NUMBER ONE! 🦅🇺🇲🎆 FUCK YEAH!" vibes from Dr Strange or Shang-Chi.

Like...you don't have to like cape flicks at all, but insisting that the entire MCU-verse is military propaganda just comes across as woker-than-thou chest thumping.

GOD i fucking hate that rhetoric wtf!! people will argue with A N Y T H I N G trying to be "woker" than the last person how did op even sound like some "trad wife" or wtv they literally were talking about woodworking and growing their own fruit and not having.. to write a cv.... Thatse It

its rly not that deep not everything has to be interpreted as aggressively...people who point out cottagecore is dumb because 95% of this websites userbase doesn’t know what running a farm is like and that in colonialized countries saying “i wanna go out own land” has extremely bad undertones are absolutely right but also i felt that post was just takin it too far. and ive seen others like that

i’m part of those people who don’t like living in modern society for a lot of reasons and who genuinely like doing “physical” work and i think it’d benefit a lot of ppl if the world allowed that to be a career option...fantasizing about picking cherries is good. just go outside n realize walking barefoot under cherry trees aint comfy cause there’s thorns and rotten fruit sometimes

me, revisiting silmarillion stories after not thinking about them since i was 13: what is the source of downfall for the First Age elves? They do not wish for power for they already are powerful; their lives are everlasting unless they quarrel and violence befalls them. There is never even a war on succession among the royal families of Noldor elves--none of them wants to be king, and some of their best is explicitly stated to want “neither power or glory”, and the friendship between two half-cousins literally bring CENTURIES of peace and prosperity to their people when two separate royal houses they belong to are literally on the brink of conflict and possibly war! No, it was not quest for power that doomed the elves and led to their sufferings--it was desire. But what is wrong with wanting and loving? There is nothing wrong with the desire to want, to love and to live, and none of them brought suffering--but desire and obsession are two sides of the same coin and they bleed into one another more often than not. Ultimately, It was desire for justice that doomed them, for the desire for justice--something constructive and positive--can easily be twisted into obsession with vengeance. The silmarli jewels encased the light of the two trees that once functioned as sun and moon on the undying land of Valinor--on a metaphorical level, the jewels are the “fruits” of the two trees in the “garden” of Valinor. The theft of simarili jewels led the elves from the undying lands of valinor to the mortal realm of middle earth, just like consuming the fruits of tree of good and evil has driven Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden into the mortal realm--for they now know “desire”. Unlike Sauron’s rings of power, the Silmarili jewels grant no power or benefits, but they play the role of desires. And the pursue of silmarilis, on a metaphorically level, is the pursue of desires. It’s strange that Tolkien begins his in-story mythologies from the perspective of fictional race of elves, instead of humans; however, his elves were never anything but men--at the core, they are simply people like none other. His elves are Adam and Eve of the garden; they are the First Men and they are more human than human and that’s why we weep for their sufferings--for they are us. 

also me: Easterlings’ racial coding is rACIST. kinda wild that half of the continent is occupied by people with “yellow and oliver” skin and are called Men of Darkness that are once so large in number that they could surpass the population of Men of the West and yet we know very little about them, huh. pretty fucking wild, huh. Like tolkien could have just make middle earth Fantasy England, like the fantasy nordic/cletic land he wanted and leave it at that but he has to also make Easterlings a thing--he has to go out and do that and make them minor antagonists in main conflicts in lord of the rings as well as manuscripts that become Silmarillion huh. Also it’s kinda wild that when bunch of people arrived at a new land with the intention of getting the resources that they think rightfully belong to them (albeit their forefathers are born and have lived on this land, so they do have some sort of claim to the land), you’d think that they would have run into at least some scuffles with the people that have been living on the aforementioned land this entire time, yet all we know is that they just MAGICALLY and peacefully co-exist with people that already lived there and the story is instead focus on these people getting some jewels back. Like, i love noldor elves and everything but tolkien is such white british man it’s so transparent sometimes. Anyways im gonna go play some dragon age now, not that dragon age aren’t also made by obnoxious white men, but at least the obnoxious white men that made dragon age are slightly “woker”.

Across Another Dimension Ch. 21

They walk through the Donald Beach town. Today, there are many houses and buildings around, so they could say that this area is considered the most populated one on Mushroom Kingdom. There is a hotel district, a shopping district, a food stand district and an event plaza.

"Whoa! This place is amazing!" Huey exclaimed.

"Suddenly, I feel like I wanna shop…" Louie spoke up.

"Gee, this is making me enjoy more our day…" Dewey said.

"Too bad we have more important things to do right now." Scrooge reminded.

This area had elements that are commonly seen in every beach: palm trees, tropical flowers and seashells and starfishes in the sand. There were also some seashells carved into the walls of stone platforms as well as fish fossils and coral fossils.

"Oh, this place is neat." Huey smiled.

"Indeed." Panchito nodded. "It is the perfect place for relaxation in this beach.”

"And speaking of relaxation…" Jose noticed a green duck wearing sunglasses while relaxing on a beach chair at their left. Scrooge walks towards the green duck and playfully removes his sunglasses.

"Hey!" he exclaimed playfully while opening his eyes.

“Lad, quite relaxing.” Scrooge grab him by the arms. “We need to find that Yellow Sharp before King Zeus men beat us.”

They both head to the group are, but he notice someone is missing. “Hey! Where Donald, the other Donald, and Princess Della?” He ask.

“Right here!!!” All head toward the ducks, they all notice that the three of them aren’t wearing their royal gown, instead. They wore a casual attire.

Boy Princess Donald wore white shirt with shirt white sleeves and a collar, a pink skirt, a hot pink belt around his waist. A pink fabric that was tie around his neck. And on his feet, was a pink flat shoes. In his head was a white floppy beach hat with pink ribbon wrap around the hat. In his hand was his parasol. His parasol was pink, a hot pink ruffle on the bottom and on the top, half pink on the middle and half white on the top, a white handle with a heart-shaped.

Princess Della wore a gorgeous yellow vintage dress style. This stretch cotton halter top dress comes in a classic yellow and white pin daisy flower pattern, piped with retro white in a midcentury silhouette. A full circle swing skirt has two front patch pockets, finished with a ruffled flounce at the knee length hem. The adjustable self tie halter neck supports a faux buttoned bodice, nipped at the waist line and boasting smocked back panels for stretch and fit. In her foots was a yellow flat shoes, she tie her short hair into a high ponytail, a beautiful flower of daisy in her hair.

And Donald wore a light blue sailor outfit. This lovely ensemble, was designed with elegance and comfort in mind; the shirt buttons on to the shorts on the front and back to ensure a perfect fit and prevent shirt or shorts from sliding. The bow is pre-tied and detachable so other neckerchiefs or bowties of personal choice can be accomodated. On his head was a matching light blue sailor hat.

Panchito and Jose jaw drop, smirked as it was even better up close. Panchito reached out and pulled on Boy Princess Donald's skirt. "So tell me are you wearing any underwear under there?"

Boy Princess gasp at him as he slapped the hand away. "Stop that!" he said turning bright red. "Of course I am wearing underwear! I'm not that crazy!"

“Quit fooling around! We need to find that Yellow Sharp!” Scrooge told them.

“My Unca right you guys, there’s no time fooling around. We need to find that sharp!”

The gang nodded their head, there’s no time to fooling around. They must find that sharp before King Zeus men do. They walk through the market and they spotted a hug crown over there. Curiosity, they walk over there. They all try to see what’s going on. They went through the crowns until they reach the center. There, they spotted a tall muscular stork with flowing blonde hair. He wears a gold silk tunic, bronze bracelets and sandals.

He was appears to be juggling some heavy wooden boxes. People and tourists were taking pictures of this amazing trick they witnessed. Once he done juggling and give it to the woker gently. People start to applause at him.

A muscular Storkules took a bow as people start throwing money and coins at him. A stork pick up and put it in the old rag bag as the crowns began to leave. He notice and spotted Donald in front of him.

Donald opened his beak to speak, only to be tackled to the ground by a muscular blur.

“Donald!” They all yelped in unison. The muscular blur turned out to be an equally-muscular, toga-wearing stranger who was currently holding Donald closely and intimately to his chest. They watched, a bit helplessly, as the stranger carried Donald and threw him into the air with ease, laughing the entire time.

Sunlight glistened off of the stranger’s blonde hair, making it look as if it was pure gold. “Oh glorious day! May the Faiths sing of your safety, Best friend Donald! Sailor of the Seven Seas! I am very glad that you are okay!” His voice was joyful and had an almost sing-song quality to it. And befitting of his stature, it was very loud.

Donald, head placed between a pair of firm pecs, simply sighed. “Hiya, buddy.”

When Donald was released from the confines of the man’s beefy chest, Boy Princess Donald and Princess Della helped him up. Boy Princess Donald’s grip was tight on his shoulder. “Oh Donald, who is this?” He asked, voice slightly strained.

Donald sighed. “ Guys, this is Storkules. He’s my best friend.”

The man turned around after aquatinting himself with the boys and the old man telling them that he’s glad to see them all healthy and safe, having picked them up as well a bit in a more gentler matter. He gave his full attention to the group of four he did recognize, his figure casting a large shadow over them. “My! Friend Panchito! Friend Jose! Friend Della! And friend….. Donald!?!? Good graces!” An over dramatic gasp escaped Storkules’ beak. “There are two of them!!!”

Donald let out a sight. “Why don’t we get something to eat. I will tell you everything what happen buddy.” Donald pat Storkules on the back. They began heading toward the restaurant.

“So you’re telling me that we are in a strange world of Mushroom World? And there are dimensional version of us in this world isn’t Best friend Donald?” Storkules ask to Donald.

“Yes,” Donald answer back. “That’s correction and we need to find all of the Rainbow Star Crystal Sharps so Professor Gyro, the one in this world, to power up the machine so we can go home.” The sailor duck continued.

“I see,” Storkules rub his chin with his finger. “May I join you best friend Donald? You need someone who can defeat those enemies who dare try to hurt us!” Storkules flex his muscle biceps.

“Sure,” Boy Princess Donald reply with a smile on his face. “You can come with us. But there’s problems. You seen, we need to find a Yellow Sharp. According to the map, it say that the Yellow Sharp is location somewhere in this beach. But we don’t know where it is.”

“I think there someone who can help us. You see, as I was exploring this strange new world. I bump into a woman, she was wearing a shirt turtleneck with two pink sleeves with white lining, a pink pant with pink shoes. I believe her name is Goldie. She is the most incredible explore I met. Come on, I will show you all where she is.”

They all got up and follow Storkules as they all head to Goldie place. Leaving Scrooge McDuck shock.

“Goldie... My Goldie...?”

I get the purpose of this, I really do, but I heavily dislike the casual use of anecdotes as evidence of anything - " meanwhile ive lived in georgia and while there are right wing stuff the left FAR outweighs them. dont believe people when they say the north is more progessive cause it aint."

Literally all this tells me is that you primarily associate with leftists when you can, and you met conservatives while you visited Minnesota. This says less than nothing, especially not whether a state that goes left fairly consistently and voted for Ilhan Omar is "fake woker" than a state that still has issues with segregated proms:

Yeah northerners are racist. I don't get the point in framing it as if the racism in each region is either exactly the same, no big deal, or "fake woke," whatever that means. It's like, do you think those in The Great Migration were unaware that "northerners are racist too"? They did! They weighed the pros and cons.

It turns out "very possible my family will see my corpse hung from a tree and their house burned down" outweighs "can't apply to the really good jobs in Detroit and white people will call me the n word behind my back"

im telling you if gerrymandering gets abolished you’ll see how truly progressive the south is. the north is fake woke. trust me.

Fears 1,000 Thai elephants could starve to death

Up to 1,000 domesticated elephants in Thailand could become casualties of the coronavirus pandemic, animal welfare advocates fear.

The giant animals are a popular tourism drawcard in parts of the southeast Asian country. All elephant camps were ordered to shut in March as the virus swept the world. Some Thai elephant ride attractions have drawn international controversy as campaigners claim the work is cruel and their conditions are substandard. But others like Tree Tops Elephant Reserve on the island of Phuket are sanctuaries, and with no tourism they risk running out of money to take care of the gentle giants. The elephants roam freely at Tree Tops, where visitors are allowed to walk alongside the herds. Project director Louise Rogerson told Sky News it cost around £600 a month to feed an elephant.

Tree Tops Elephant reserve director Louise Rogerson (Image: Sky News) She warned in some of the other camps where elephants were leased out for rides they faced being chained up and missing out on exercise. Save The Elephant Foundation has told Sky the organisation estimates around 1,000 of the country's domesticated elephants could be at risk of starving to death during the Covid-19 crisis. "If there is no support forthcoming to keep them safe, these elephants (some of whom are pregnant), will either starve to death or may be put on to the streets to beg," founder Lek Chailert said.

The camps have closed to tourists (Image: Sky News)

The gentle giants cost around £600 a month each to feed (Image: Sky News) Some of them could be sold to zoos, or they could be returned to the now outlawed logging business. Lek continued: "It's a very bleak outlook unless some financial help is received immediately." The mahouts - Thai for the wokers who ride, train or keep the elephants are also said to be worried about their welfare. Food for huge beasts is costly, and in some parts drought has dried out their grass.

Droughts have swept Phuket making it tougher to keep the elephants well-fed (Image: Sky News) A mahout named Veerayut, who looks after nine-year-old  Buatong, told Sky the keepers at mamy parks were already going unpaid, and they feared the elephants would go hungry as funds dried up with no tourism. Veerayut said: "That's what they are most afraid of. Even though the elephant might not belong to the mahout it's instinct that we have to take care of them because this is what we were born to do." – Stay up to date with BangkokJack on Twitter, Instagram, & Reddit.
