it has always baffled me that ASL isn't taught as a second language in American schooling. or as a requirement for certain jobs that work with, well, people. the HLAA says that around 48 million Americans have hearing loss!! 1 in 5 teenagers!! 1 in 3 people over the age of 60!!! it's crazy to me that sign isn't more widely taught and used considering that you probably DO or WILL know someone who has hearing loss at some point in their life
#i know this is definitely not a new topic of conversation but i just think about it so often#obviously ableism and ageism is just rampant in america and thats why asl isnt more widely taught#because the thought in america is why would we help out the minority#or people think to themselves 'whats the chance ill ever need it'#and im like ???? probably higher than you think dude!!#i have friends with hearing loss and i have deteriorating hearing in my left ear as well (enough to notice in school but nothing crazy)#and thinking of that makes me think wow. i should really learn ASL#working in food service makes me think wow!!! i should really learn asl!!!#which i AM going to do mark my fucking words#anyway. i dont even know where this rant came from#motivation to learn!! and communicate with people different than me because i CAN#i guess i just wish it was more accessible to learn in schools or even mandatory!#westy's shit#rambling#i need to educate myself more on this topic and this is serving as my reminder

im sorry to non marvel fans trying to tell what the fuck we're talking about most of the time.
like this guy is hawkeye and this girl is hawkeye and sometimes the first one's brother is hawkeye but evil but og hawkeye was evil twice, once as hawkeye and once as ronin and was also a completely different hero named goliath.. dont get it twisted.
#correct me if im wrong but arent sam and steve captain america?#dont think too hard about the names we dont know what's going on either#marvel#marvel comics#616#hawkeye#clint barton#kate bishop#barney barton#oh shit i forgot about all the people named Peter#theres too many and its not even spidermans fault

Everything Steve Grant Rogers knew about love was heartbreak and loss.
First it was Molly from second grade, Susan from his english class in seventh grade followed her, after that it was Michael and Jonathan from his figure drawing class.
Of course not all of them were of romantic love.
When he was told of his fathers death, that broke him a little too, It was more manageable because it happened before he was born.
And then… his mother took her last breath alone in an hospital bed, and that was the worst pain he could endure in his life, or that was he thought at the time anyway.
No.
The worst pain of his life was losing Bucky and keep losing him every damn time, no matter what he did and no matter the circumstances.
First it was losing him in the arms of pretty dames with soft voices and softer lips, then to the war when he was finally drafted.
When he knew of his status as missing, of course he got to him without a second thought of doing stupid things like wasting time for backup or approval.
It was imperative the speed of his rescue mission, Buckys life was on the line and Steve wouldn’t sacrifice him for stupid and unnecessary rules.
Without Bucky there is no Steve Rogers after all, not a sane one anyway.
The train incident made him break completely at last and he couldn’t take it anymore.
They didn’t even let him go looking for Bucky.
How dare they?
At least that way he could’ve gotten a little bit of closure, but no.
The missions were more important of course.
Of course….
When the opportunity of sinking the Valkyrie was presented to him on a silver platter, he just took it without hesitation.
At last, he could be reunited with Bucky and the endless cycle of heartbreak could end.
.
.
.
Of course that wasn’t what happened, of course that couldn’t be his end.
#i cant write in this freaking app everything gets deleted#i dont have word on the ipad halp#I should be drawing or something but ugh stupid headcanons cant let me live#steve rogers#steve rogers headcanon#captain america headcanon#Peggy didn’t make the cut in this headcanon because my Steve doesn’t classify what he felt for her as love#he thought about his older crushes as love because they were a big part of his life at the time#and big horrible acts of rejection#of course Michael and Jonathan were in a relationship with him at some point#but they did cheat on him or talk shit about him with someone else#they didn’t out him#there is that at least#Steve is so tired#please give him love#also in this headcanon Pietro DOESNT DIE#because I said so#that death was stupid asf#also in this headcanon Steve doesnt end up as old steve#he doesn’t even care sbout shield and does what he wants#hes a little bit unhinged#he lost his Bucky and couldn’t die#what do you want from him#stucky#stucky headcanon#I see Steve as bi with preference on men bc HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THE LADIES

#i keep seeing Americans being surprised at this & need to know if it's as common knowledge a i thought it was#polls#tumblr polls#TLDR for the tags: the strikes in America matter in other countries because American media is made in Canada a lot#if you didnt know btw yeah a lot of American shit was filmed in Canada#you can see it in the credits a lot but i know ppl dont watch credits#but yeah unless it's a very specific American landmark the movie is usually Canadian#easiest way is to check the bg for Tim's#second easiest way is to check the end of the credits for ''thanks to whatever local government for letting us film there''#you'll see the specific province#also yes same with games. & animation. alotta animation & game studios around here#i could go work for Disney or on the next AAA game without even leaving my city#i could also work on whatever next Netflix cartoon is being worked on#so when people are like ''i'm not from America i dont need to worry about scalping'' just remember#American companies outsource to Canada a lot because it's cheaper. & other countries too#even if you aren't American or havent been to America you can still be a scalper. you can still cross the picket line#so yeah the strikes in America actually matter in other countries#because American movies are usually only like half American#gonna go watch Spiderverse in like an hour. peace

woosh! Thankfully my countries back to the good old stuff. It was being stable for a bit too long and just wasn't behaving like itself! Glad to see the true venezuelan spirit shinin through! Hating Chavistas and Maduro are a staple of the Venezuelan migrant (refugee according to some sources) lifestyle, so seeing them start tearing down statues makes me so proud of my good ol yellow blue and red! You keep it goin, busters! (ventish in tags, btw)
#i hate maduro#so fucking much#we left the country because of him#my entire family is fucking everywhere because of him#i barely know half of my moms side#and thats like it#because time zones are a bitch#everyone got the hell out of my country#and just when it was being stable the elections have to fucking throw it out the window#ffs sake my parents were finally considering i get to see my birth country after 12 years#im not too invested in politics#but you dont need to be a genius to know the Venezuelan government is shit#and to be in venezuela is also shitty#i hope my family in caracas are ok#and hopefully that dick can get out of office#venezuela#venezuela elections#venezuela 2024#immigrant stuff#vent#if you dont know about the venezuela situation#its something not many people know about#latina#latin america

if trump wins this election i am considering leaving the country
#pleasepleasepleaseplease don't win please i do kind of want to leave america but i don't want it to be on such a short timeframe#on one hand i think it is irrational to think that everything will immediately go to shit#on the other hand WE LITERALLY HAVE ANOTHER HITLER ON OUR HANDS#and we know how well THAT turned out last time!!#im a transgender person of color!! not the 'worst' person of color to be but i remember sinophobia during covid#as well as when trump was talking about manufacturing jobs during his 2016 campaign#i use birth control and im planning on changing my name soon and i dont want to face consequences for that#i cannot use my birth name and detransition for safety because obviously i dont LOOK like that anymore#my state is pretty good and obviously this is a different system than germany back then but still#my dad keeps telling me that there might be a civil war#and i want to fight back and fight for people i know#i have my family here and i am scared for them if i leave without them#but i also#ugh#i still think about dying a lot and i think that leaving the country is a pretty stupid decision#but it is not worse than death#of course#this is only if trump is elected#:)#yap#nvm i read one article about civil war and it seems like we're fine. still worrying

I'm glad the "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" meme is getting critiqued in its usage because... While the sentiment itself is absolutely true... I feel like sometimes, perhaps, it's not a work of fiction's fault that you're personally bad at picking up on satire
#im thinking about how i saw a person say futurama is bad because bad things still exist in the future#and its like. thats the point though?#the joke is literally the idea that if we never learn and grow from these problems as a society these are the hyperbolic extremes#that they would come to etc etc#do i think it was all well handled? probably not. it had a 14 year run im sure it fumbled lots of stuff and has shit that doesnt hold up#but i feel like dismissing it entirely based on just-#''but bad stuff happens. and i want the future to be better so this bums me out'' is just dumb LOL like thats literally the point#theyre taking the problems of today and making them into crazy hyperbolic extremes to mock them THATS WHAT SATIRE IS#there is a clarity of purpose youre just bad at picking up on it. NIXON WAS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT IN THAT SHOW FOR CHRIST SAKE#WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK ''AMERICA'S FAVORITE SUICIDE BOOTH SINCE ****2008****'' COULD MEAN?#idk. this site is bad media literacy r us why take it seriously. but i am. bc its frustrating#bc that quote on its own is sooooo good at explaining why some ''satire'' is bad and doesnt work#but ppl who dont know how to engage w media beyond a surface level have taken it and turned it into like#''this is bad bc i didnt get it'' ok. sounds like a you problem.#but posting this is scary bc im afraid itll be used for the other extreme .-.

#sorry it is 2am and far be it from me to defend america#and i saw a stupid post#but sometimes ppl are just saying shit#country is big as fuck and yet you think the entire nation is one big unwalkable highway and strip mall#well i dont know. it isnt. not uniformly#this post is about CITY PLANNING. not the other tangible horrors that america actually produces#um also the education. 100% your education depends on the teacher you have. sorry#politics#this is part of a broader post thats been in my head for a while but km not typing all that at this hour
