Comparing the privilege of marginalized men vs similarly marginalized women doesn't work the same for trans people as it does for cis people. Cis men and cis women who are marginalized in the same way will both suffer from their shared oppression(s), but cis women will be suffer from that shared oppression and misogyny, while cis men largely won't be (at least not as systemic targets of misogyny), giving them relative privilege over the aforementioned cis women.

But trans men and trans women are both targets of systemic misogyny. The claim that trans men and trans women both suffer from transphobia, but only trans women suffer from transphobia and misogyny, would be false. Similarly, it would be false to claim that only trans men suffer from both transphobia and misogyny, while trans women suffer from transphobia but not misogyny.

Trans men suffer from transphobia and misogyny, and trans women suffer from transphobia and misogyny, and neither group of trans people has the relative privilege of not being systemic targets of misogyny.

What is G7? History of the International Group of Seven

Join me as we delve into the history and significance of the International Group of Seven (G7). From its origins to its current role in global politics, we explore the impact this group has had on international relations and economic policies.

so... G7... This group is made up of seven of the world's largest advanced economies, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Today we'll be exploring the history and significance of this influential group.

The G7 was first established in 1975 as an informal forum for leaders to discuss economic issues facing their countries. At that time, it was known as the G6 and included only six countries: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Canada joined in 1976 to form what is now known as the G7.

Over time, the G7 has expanded its focus beyond just economic issues to include discussions on a wide range of topics such as climate change, security issues and global health crises. The group meets annually to discuss these issues and coordinate their policies.

One significant event that helped establish the G7's role in global politics was its response to the 1979 oil crisis. At that time, oil prices had skyrocketed due to political instability in Iran. The G7 leaders met in Tokyo that year and agreed to coordinate their energy policies to stabilize prices. This marked a turning point for international cooperation on economic issues.

Another important moment for the G7 came in 1991 when it played a key role in ending apartheid in South Africa. The group imposed economic sanctions on the country, which helped to pressure the government to end its discriminatory policies. This demonstrated the G7's ability to use economic leverage to achieve political goals.

In recent years, the G7 has faced criticism for its lack of diversity and representation. Some have argued that it should include more countries from the Global South and emerging economies. In response, the G20 was established in 1999 as a forum for a broader range of countries to discuss economic issues.

Despite these criticisms, the G7 remains an important forum for global cooperation on economic and political issues. Its members represent a significant portion of the world's economy and have significant influence over global policies.

That's all for today's episode on the International Group of Seven. I hope you enjoyed learning about this influential group and its history. Join me next time as we explore another topic in depth.

How Biden's wartime visit to Kyiv came together

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.

*Station 118 Shift Swap Group Chat*

B-Shift Paramedic: I need to swap out on Saturday. Someone HMU please.

Bobby: Wait, so HMU isn't "hold my umbrella"?

Chimney: No. It’s actually "hummer med underkläder", which means "I love you" in Swedish and I think that's beautiful.

Eddie: "Hummer med underkläder" means "Lobster with panties".

Hen: How do you even know that?

Eddie: My Mother wanted at least one child that could speak to her parents when they called so she wouldn’t have to.

Chimney: You know what, Diaz. Your childhood trauma and resulting multilingualism is really getting in the way of my best work.

Eddie: Your best work? Tricking Bobby into thinking hook-up slang means something innocent?

Bobby: HOOK-UP SLANG!!?!? I texted the Commissioner “HMU” during that hurricane last week??

Chimney: *Ignoring Bobby* That’s “Gaslighting the Elderly” to you, Rosetta Stone.

Imagine if Captain Marvel dressed up for Halloween as Kratos from God of War! I headcanon that Captain Marvel is around 8"5 and was having a hard time figuring out a costume that would work for his height and figure, until I remembered the the dutch giant Olivier Richters (7"2) did a cosplay of Kratos! (Eugene bribed him to do it)

(The Justice League having a normal Halloween party.)

Captain Marvel coming in looking like he's ready for war and bald: ...awwwww why didn't anyone else dress up? :(

The entire Justice League with their weapons out: CAPTAIN MARVEL??!?!!

Captain Marvel: Hi! :3

Black Adam destroying Fawcett City: HaHAAh! Were is your hero now? Hiding in a corner, too scared to face me!

Captain Marvel in costume looking unrecognizable: Black Adam stop this instant or else!

Black Adam: Haaha Captai- WHAT THE HELL! What are you wearing?!??

Captain Marvel: It's my butt kicking outfit!

The actual god Kratos who entered the divine group chat: Rip his head from his body!
