THE BEAR 1.01 “System”

"Today marks one year since the death of the People’s Bubbie Shatzi Weisberger. Before she passed, she said, “I’ll fight like hell for a free Palestine until the day I die. Then I’ll keep fighting. Your queer ancestor is with you.”

If you’ve been rising up in solidarity with Palestine these past two months, your queer ancestor is indeed with you, along with countless other antizionist Jewish ancestors. For many, family and community rifts may be especially painful right now. No matter what, you are not alone. Remember that you have a long lineage of elders and ancestors at your back.

Last night, Israel resumed its brutal bombing of Gaza and has already killed dozens of people. Shatzi would encourage all of us to do everything we can right now for a permanent, lasting ceasefire. To mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.

Shatzi died on World AIDS Day, which was b’sheret ("destined”) because in addition to being a lifelong organizer, she was a nurse for 47 years who cared for people living and dying with AIDS.

From ACT UP’s organizing to end AIDS to the movement for Palestinian freedom, we honor the ancestors and movements who made us possible."

We will be forever grateful to the ancestors who paved the path before us. May their memories fuel us to work towards freedom for all people — no exceptions."

exactly this. "oh you feel you lost something really important to your identity? if you just wait long enough you can live like you always wanted" is so shallow and i feel like they only wrote it for the literal circumstances of the character, which makes sense of course but it sucks that they had to throw away the trauma/depression allegory to do it. like sure if i was actually a veteran pulled 70 years into the future i would probably want to go back but as a regular ass person who doesn't have time travel i feel like the obvious answer would be to find a way to move forward and make peace with the fact that you've changed. i know they needed to write evans out but surely he could have retired and still passed on the mantle right? it maybe wouldn't have been as much of an exiting scene in a theater but it would have been a more hopeful ending and that's more important personally

thinking about how important steve's storyline was for people who feel out of place/like they don't belong/like the world's moving too fast for them to follow (which are my own common reactions to trauma/depression) and how endgame just straight-up tells that the greatest way to escape is to go back to times that still feel familiar, which is something a regular person will never be able to afford and which just takes the hope away. they could've done so much with it and showed a great resolution to a long journey of building new life and new meanings, but they completely missed the point of the story. it was so awful to people who saw themselves in this character and that's something we rarely mention when we criticize steve's ending. in this essay, i will

I know we’ve probably all seen this list before, and there has been attention to quite a lot of these, but can we just talk about the fact Steve had the term “nervous trouble of any sort” listed under his health issues? 

It’s likely a form of anxiety, which can’t exactly be fixed by the serum if it’s a worry that Steve carries with him in his head. The serum can cure his asthma, but it can’t cure his fears. It can’t cure his bad memories, or his nightmares, and it can’t cure his PTSD, as we’ve seen it come back throughout the movies repeatedly. 

Steve carried his anxiety into World War 2, added a generous layer of PTSD to that, and I can’t imagine what must be going on in his brain after waking up 70 years later with everyone he knows and loves gone.

andrew garfield saying, “i hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that i didn’t get to tell her” about his mothers passing is so gut wrenchingly beautiful because we rarely talk about the love we want to express but can’t, not because you’re not brave enough to say it out loud but because they’re not here to listen to it anymore. calling grief the love you never had the chance to share makes it less of a burden and more of something you want to keep and not something terrible you want to move on from. i love love how everything about grief always comes down to “what is grief if not love persevering?”
