“In fact, during the audition with Chris Evans, the script says, “Spidey flips into scene,” and Tom goes, “Oh, should I do that?” Evans is like, [sarcastically] “Oh, yeah. Yeah, you just flip into the scene kid. No, you just walk in.” He does it. A standing flip, jump, flip, land. Even Chris Evans was like, “What…what happened?” – Kevin Feige, producer and President of Marvel
You hire Spider-Man and you fucking got Spider-Man.
teaching children that they are allowed to walk away and cool off if they are feeling overwhelmed might literally save their life as teens/adults
could save other ppls lives too.
I feel like the key here is letting them know that they can come back to the discussion, and that you’re not just sending them to their room with different words
“go calm down” is just dismissive, but “go calm down and we’ll talk more about this in half an hour” validates the child and lets them know that you’re not just brushing them off
its also worth noting that “go calm down” as a statement, regardless of what follows it, comes across as dismissive. add plurality to the comment.
“LET’S go calm down.” “LET’S take a break” “WE BOTH should step away”
never expect a child to do what you yourself arent willing to do in the situation. otherwise, its just a time out.
basically, woc or trans women saying “i’m not really a feminist” bc they’ve been alienated by mainstream feminism is different from a str8 white boy saying “i disagree with feminism” bc he doesn’t think women are people
Also, it’s not the same as white women who say they aren’t feminists because their white, class, cis, and straight privilege makes them think they’ve never experienced sexism.
Just for once I’d like to tell the gate agents and flight attendants that my folding wheelchair is going into the onboard closet and not have them tell me there’s “no room”. Bitch that’s a wheelchair closet, not a “your bags” closet. Move your damn bags where they belong.
Ok, so according to my friendly aviation expert, this is a Big Fucking Deal. In fact, if an airline argues with you about putting your wheelchair in the wheelchair closet or even suggests there may not be room, unless there is already anotherpassenger’swheelchair in that closet, they have violatedfederallaw.
CFR Title 14, Chapter II, Subchapter D, Part 382, Subpart E, Section 382.67, Subsection (e)
“As a carrier, you must never request or suggest that a passenger not stow his or her wheelchair in the cabin to accommodate other passengers (e.g., informing a passenger that stowing his or her wheelchair in the cabin will require other passengers to be removed from the flight), or for any other non-safety related reason (e.g., that it is easier for the carrier if the wheelchair is stowed in the cargo compartment).”
This is hugely important because it means that if this happens to you, you should report their asses to the DOT. Why? Because these statistics are published every year for every airline, and the airline gets a huge ass fine for every violation. If we want to see change, we need to make airlines literally pay every time they treat us this way.
@annieelainey you should share this with your followers! This is important info!!
To my mutuals on wheels, print out the law before you fly and whip it out at the gate if they don’t accomodate your wheels.
Thanks a lot for posting this, bro! Flying while crippled is already difficult enough without people pulling this kind of shit. Also, make sure that if there is a piece of your wheelchair or something important missing off of it, that you make a big fucking deal out of it! I’ve had pieces fall off of my wheelchair and nearly lost a decoration I had on it that meant a lot to me because people were careless with my chair. Don’t let them mistreat your wheelchair.
Non-wheelchair folks:
Now that you know, speak up.
You never know when you’re going to see someone who needs an ally.
I was actually looking for this post the other day for someone who was worried about flying with their chair. I can’t remember your username, but here! this is the thing I was talking about!
I will now share a little factoid from the Swedish pen & paper role-playing scene that the rest of the world isn’t that aware of. First of all, we love Disney. Not all of Disney equally, but specifically Donald Duck and his friends. We -love- Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Scrooge McDuck comic books.
Now, bear that in mind when I tell you how in the Swedish version of Dungeons & Dragons, Drakar och Demoner (literally Dragons and Demons), you can play Duck characters.
now get ready for the Screaming 20s – coming to a decade near you in 2020
is it too early or can we start screaming now
There’s actually a fair deal of overlap between cultural decades. So not only is it acceptable to start screaming now, we can keep screaming up to the mid 30′s.
