Kind of deaf pre-serum Steve Rogers.

Bucky Barnes in the habit of muttering complaints about how stubborn and bullheaded and idiotic Steve can be when Steve is right there because he knows Steve can’t hear him if he keeps his voice quiet enough.

Heightened hearing post-serum Steve Rogers.

Bucky Barnes still in the habit of muttering about Steve being a stubborn sonuvabitch sometimes under his breath.

Steve whipping his head around and just going “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” and Bucky being so surprised he almost falls over.

Most of us will never know the agony of being a parent that does everything to provide for their child, only to keep coming up empty. Of the immense suffering and self-loathing that comes with being responsible for this little life, and feeling like you're failing: to keep them safe, warm, sheltered, fed. Of holding your child, your toddler, your newborn, watching them slowly waste away from that relentless, gnawing hunger you can't stop (one that you feel yourself). Watching as they howl in pain, and the hollowness that comes when your child becomes too weak even to do that. All the while being totally helpless to stop it because it's not up to you.

Most of us will only see the aftermath of such a thing: a parent carrying the far-too-light shroud of their child, pictured under a headline that details how starvation has taken hold of some given population. Distant and removed from us.

Except that it isn't. There are so many desperate parents who've run out of options, for whom this isn't some abstraction, who are asking—begging—us for our help. Just so they'll be able to buy some of the shit canned food left from the last aid delivery, and a couple loaves of bread to feed their children with. Extortionately pricey because of scarcity, but it's enough to keep their children in a state of "acute malnutrition" rather than "catastrophic hunger", so they'll pay anything for it.

Attacks on NGOs & prevention of aid into Gaza puts every single person there at risk of a slow death due to starvation. Especially children, like Samah's newborn baby boy, her little 2 year-old girl, and their big sister (who's only 9). But we can help. What's pocket money for us, is an invaluable lifeline to parents like Samah. At a time when so many seem to have decided to live in an alternate universe in which deliberate starvation and mass slaughter of civilians is acceptable, we have to do what we can to oppose it. Not to push it away, to ignore it, to decide it's been going on so long we don't care or that it's hopeless so give up, but to grit our teeth, dig our heels in, and say "no, seriously, what the fuck are we doing here?"

tldr: donate to Samah so she can buy food for her kids so they don't starve to death. please. and thank you. :)

Okay, I'm rewatching Captain America: The Winter Soldier and I noticed this little tidbit.

When Steve goes to find Sam at the support group for vets, Sam talks about how he lost his wingman Riley and how he struggled to find reason to stay at war with them gone.

They move on from the topic pretty quick but it's a very clear parallel to Steve's own experience back in the 40s, loosing his own wing man and ultimately crashing the plane into the ice.

But reasonably, Bucky dying is the only reason he went down with that plane. I'd say he wasn't thinking straight because of the grief and just missing his pal a lot, more then 'i need to kill myself because Bucky's gone.' Either way, call me delusional but I think what Sam said was a pretty clear reference to Steve's own story and I really do think that was Marvel's subtle way of saying that's why he crashed the plane.

This is probably one of the most depressingly heart-wrenching photos I’ve ever seen. Native American children taken from their families and put into school to assimilate them into white society. the slogan for this governmental campaign ’“kill the Indian to save the man”. no official apology has ever been issued. never forgotten.

[alvamsystem]

many of us do. it's difficult not to succumb to the feeling of not being able to do something and being completely helpless. and while it's true that individually none of us can change the world, we do have the power together to make an impact, especially on the lives of individual people around us.

instead of succumbing to feelings of doom and despair about the election, the climate, or any other ongoing crises, please consider donating to ibrahim. that is a real way to have a real impact on someone's life.

ibrahim is only 15 and is trying to raise funds to not just help him and his family escape the genocide, but also to survive in the current conditions. he has been displaced and exposed to countless horrors time and time again. the least we can do is attempt to help him.

please, if you can: match my donation of €10. if you can't spare that, spare €5 or even €1. if you really have nothing to give, share this post. don't turn away from suffering. this is your chance to do something.

One year gone

One year of killing civilians

One year of bombing hospitals

One year of bombing schools

One year of destroying a whole city

One year of starving people to death

One year of making people leave their homes to live in tents

One year and still the world just watching us dying

One year thousands are missing under the rubble thousands arrested with unknown future

One year of thousands of children lost either one of their parents or both

Thousands lost parts of their bodies

I can’t imagine this will continue for a year

Fuck this world fuck everyone

i share a lot of fundraisers on here but right now i want to take a moment and bring extra attention to @ibrahim-family's campaign, #25 on the @gazavetters spreadsheet:

he's only fifteen years old. younger than my youngest sibling. and he's responsible for saving the lives of his family. can you imagine having to grapple with that at 15? would you be able to handle the pressure?

every day he messages me, full of anxiety when my responses lapse, and when i share his posts or tell him what i can do to help he tells me he loves me.

today he told me that his uncle was martyred just hours earlier.

when the genocide is over, ibrahim is still going to need love and support, but right now he needs the resources to survive. please, please, please donate what you can to his campaign, no matter how small.

Stand with us in these difficult moments in our lives 🍉🌿🇵🇸

Me and my small family (old mother, wife and little daughter) are trying to survive the blockade and the bombs.

This is not an evacuation fundraiser but rather a fund to pay for basic goods such as water, which has quadrupled in price since October, and food, which is being sold at exhorbitant prices.

Gofund link:

I used to be an accountant at a very successful restaurant in Gaza (Italianoo 🍕)

which has since been bombed and destroyed, and the owners of the restaurant were killed.

It is devastating to see everything you worked so hard for and everyone involved with it vanish in the blink of an eye. It is even harder to struggle to survive after it.

Please do not hesitate to help Hatem and his family !

Greetings from my little daughter

Greetings from Gaza to all Palestinian supporters 🍉🇵🇸🌿

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

[alvamsystem]

We may not be able to convey the truth of the genocide in the days to come.

I hope everyone who sees this will share it as widely as possible.

Please share and donate🫂🙏

Please help Yahya and his family!

Their campaign is sitting at 5,959/50,000€. This is very little, especially as Yahya's father and little brother are very sick, in need of medication and surgery they cannot afford. Please share their campaign and donate anything you can. Their lives depend on it.
