Tony Stark is the best dad

Hey everyone, I never thought i would have to make one of these but now I do.

This is my darling pup Snow, she has been my support system for 6 years. I’ve known her since she was born. She’s been my everything, my light, my life and she has gotten me out of many dark places. 

Today I had to take her to the pet ER because suddenly, she could no longer walk after having mobility issues for a couple of months. Now, I know it was probably partial CCL tears. She has bilateral CCL tears in her knees that will require TPLOs, or Tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy. This surgery is really pricey for one knee, much less two. I have some savings that I will be putting towards these surgeries but I don’t know in the end how much it’s going to run me. I will be paying out of pocket for all of this. 

I am a Vet Tech but I lost my job around two weeks ago and now I have no stable income to put towards her surgery other than some savings. The pain is so bad that she cannot go outside to go to the bathroom, even with help. Using a sling makes her scream and she cannot lift her hind end.  So, I’m asking for help. Please, anything will help both Snow and I get her on the road to recovery. We would appreciate every little bit of help.  Thank you. 

yea lol

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

please help me by donating if you can so i can leave as quickly as possible. i plan to leave in a week’s time as buses are scarce rn because of the pandemic and i would like to have a place lined up before i go but the sooner i go the better for my safety. i have enough money for the bus there and food but i really will need help with rent until i can get a job. i’m staying with a friend for now.

my family has used this blog to find me before so forgive me for being curt but i don’t want them to know anything else. if you want any further info feel free to message me

Apparently they’re seeing a lot of high risk people not getting the vaccine because of microchips or what the fuck ever the conspiracy theory of the week is. By getting the vaccine, even if you’re low risk, you’re protecting those who are gullible enough to reject it because FacebookDotEagleDotTrump said it’s BAD (and those who might have a legitimate medical reason not to.)

You are protecting me and every other vulnerable person who either can’t get vaccinated for health reasons, or who is unable to get the vaccine at present because wait times are a mess. Please do not feel guilty about getting vaccinated before vulnerable people, you are still helping us. You are not taking spots from us, you are contributing to making society safer for both yourself and the vulnerable people in your life. Do not hesitate because you don’t feel vulnerable enough. Do it for the people in your life who are.

I am truly running out of options, everyone. My neck is still degenerating at the rate of an overbaked sugar cookie, which could kill me if I don't replace the degenerative discs with artificial ones. The growths in my spinal cord make me lose a little more feeling in my arms everyday, and I know they're going to paralyze me if I don't have them surgically removed.

I am so afraid that I'm going to die from treatable medical conditions. I desperately need your help to stay alive. Any reblog or signal boost would be highly appreciated. And I still desperately need donations. Thank you for your time and kindness; know that every interaction with this post helps to save my life. I love you all 🤍

Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (and yes, fucking Ming-Na Wen, that beautiful badass) will build up their bone strength by repeatedly (and fairly gently) striking sand, gravel, wood and steel - this creates tons of microfractures in their bones (smaller than even a hairline fracture) so the bones will heal over again and make the bones stronger and denser with increased deposits of calcium. 

This has to be done over long-ass periods of time, so the bones have time to heal, and none of the fractures expand into actual breaks.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves: 

An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete

Torneros de Jamuz, Spain

Duca, Croatia

A helicopter from Italy’s civil protection service drops water on a fire near the railway between Venice and Trieste

Residents take refuge on the beach as a wildfire burns on the mountain next to the village of Lithi, on the Greek island of Chios

Men gather cattle during a forest fire in Vieira de Leiria, Marinha Grande, Portugal.

Charred trees are seen on the hills above the Cloister of Thivaidas on Mount Athos, a World Heritage Site in Greece

Portugal

This is fucking important. I am glad someone fucking spoke about this and said what they had to say. The damage is terrible, and all the evergreen, stone, even the ground is black. I was fucking terrified when Croatia was burning. The fire was near a village where I like and I thought it will burn down. I thought the church will burn down. I thought the cemetery where my grandpa is buried will burn. I still remember the smell of smoke, and when I went to check how bad is fire, my clothes and hair and skin all stunk of smoke. It didn’t go away for weeks.

This is NASA’s picture of Croatia and Montenegro burning. My fucking country was burning. Fucking reblog this. I don’t care that it isn’t UK or US, or that it doesn’t go with your blog, fucking. Reblog. It.

Not my blog type, I dont care.

Reblog for awareness. Do it.

Boost this or so help me

I don’t care if this “Doesn’t fit your blog theme” or “You don’t think people will notice if you reblog it”

I

Don’t

Care

If you don’t reblog this, that’s a conscious decision to ignore that people are suffering.

And one last thing

TAG EVERY SINGLE BLOG YOU KNOW

I don’t care if you don’t think you’re big enough for them to notice you or you’re worried about bothering them, you do it regardless! I nearly had a panic attack tagging some of the bigger blogs I know of because I’m practically invisible in term of popularity but I still tagged them because it’s worth me being anxious if it means someone gets help.

So unless you don’t care about people dying and suffering, then reblog this and be a decent human being.

I know my blog isn’t for this but this effects everyone to some extent. I have tagged literally everyone I follow. Please reblog and spread the word.

Hi! No, I haven’t done this but it’s a good idea. I kinda hate how everyone is always kissing steve’s ass when it comes to Peter lmao

First of all, Peter did learn about the accords. He may not have been able to understand the entire concept of it at the moment but the kid is not deaf. He heard the entire convo between the avengers, he knows what was going on. Stop treating him like a dumbass yall. 

Tony Stark: And you've been a complete idiot. Dragging in Clint. 'Rescuing' Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave, a safe place. I'm trying to keep... I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart. Steve Rogers: You did that when you signed. Tony Stark: Alright, We're done. You're gonna turn Barnes over, you're gonna come with us. NOW! Because it's us! Or a squad of J-SOC guys... with no compunction about being impolite. Come on. Sam Wilson: We found it. Their Quinjet's in hanger five, north runway. Steve Rogers: Alright, Lang.

Peter was there. And Tony didn’t just put Peter there to fight against his friends. He told him about the situation:

Peter Parker: Hey, Mr. Stark, what should I do? Tony Stark: What we discussed. Keep your distance. Web 'em up. Peter Parker: Okay, copy that!

Steve Rogers: Look kid. There's a lot going on here that you don't understand. Peter Parker: Mr. Stark said you'd say that. Wow. Steve: Stark tell you anything else? Peter Parker: That you're wrong. You think you're right. That makes you dangerous.  Steve Rogers: Guess he had a point.

And after this convo he proceeded to drop an entire plane equipment on the kid. The directors confirmed that Tony instructed Peter into what was about to happen.

‘If you're going out to capture a bunch of people who you don't necessarily want to hurt, you couldn't ask for a better character than Spider-Man to take with you. So he's obviously mentored the kid for what's about to go down.’ - Russo Brothers.

Peter even tells Tony that for some reason Cap and co are not stopping. Because this is what he discussed with Peter. He brought him to web ‘em up, just like he said. Cap escalated the fight.

Sam Wilson: What do we do, Cap? Steve Rogers: We fight.

This dude is in a war zone 24/7 and instead of getting the help he needed (therapy) he decided he wanted to be right all the time. Kinda weird if you ask me, this devotion towards giving Bucky justice and letting him live the life he deserves free of HYDRA but he drops the opportunity to actually see that happen in Endgame.

So, now that we know all of this, we can conclude:

Peter learned about the accords in school and he didn’t look shocked, angry or betrayed. This means he understands why they exist.

Peter is a smart kid, he’s not going to continue to admire someone that ‘betrayed’ him by signing those accords. He knows why Tony had to sign, he owns a TV. 

Peter doesn’t necessarily need to agree with the accords to be on Tony’s side. Stop acting like Peter experiencing prison time on the Raft and getting arrested is better.

Some of you can’t stop talking about how a comic version of Tony revealed Peter’s identity but forget that if Peter were to be on Cap’s side his identity would’ve been revealed to the government (once getting arrested; something that happened to team cap). Something Tony always prevented.

Knowing Tony’s plan to change and amend the accords, he would’ve agreed that the best option is to sign to better terms and conditions. Stop acting like going against the law should apply to all cases, if 117 countries were that concerned about their safety, there must be a reason. Peter can understand that. 

Tony promised protection for Peter and better equipment so he can go out and be safer. I don’t think Cap would’ve offered that to Peter given he didn’t exactly care for Clint or Scott’s families.

Your comic version of Peter is not the same as MCU Peter. It’s important you remember that.

‘Exactly. But I can't tell anybody that, so I'm not. When you can do the things that I can, but you don't and then the bad things happen. They happen because of you.’ is not a valid excuse to say that Peter would’ve sided with Cap. He might be an impressionable kid but as I said before, he’s not a dumbass. Peter knows how to read between lines and how to critically understand situations.

Also remember comic!Steve is different from MCU Steve.

Peter goes by guilt, intention and accountability, not by righteousness, devotion and patriotism like MCU Cap. Peter stated he would feel like it’s on him if something were to happen to someone. He can’t forgive himself that easily. You can see that he still feels guilty about what happened to Ben and what happened to Tony as well. It’s the pivotal essence of his character. An example of this is when Ned and Betty were trapped in the roller coaster in FFH. Peter decided to try and save Betty and Ned instead of fighting the gigantic monster terrorizing Europe and its citizens. When Fury/Talos told him off he wanted to cry and felt like he wasn’t fit to be what people wanted him to be. Peter Parker: Hey, man, my friends are here? And I can't help but think we're putting them in danger- Nick Fury: You're worried about us hurting your friends?  Cap goes by ‘this job... we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time... maybe nobody gets saved.’ He can live with that, Peter can’t.

Another example of this. Notice how Peter let go of Liz and decided to do the right thing (go after her dad and save her from a terrible ending). He didn’t stay with her and let her live a lie. He sacrificed what he felt for her to give her and other people the right ending. If Peter and Cap were the same, then Cap would’ve stayed in 2023 to help Bucky and the others instead of deciding to go back to Peggy; a woman he met 83 years ago, someone who already lived her life and told him to live his (and even if the writers said her husband was always meant to be Steve there’s no way for Cap to know that happened given he did kiss Sharon Carter). Peter wouldn’t do that. Peggy Carter: Mm. I have lived a life. My only regret is that you didn't get to live yours. Peggy Carter to Steve: Hey. The world has changed and none of us can go back. All we can do is our best, and sometimes the best that we can do is to start over.

They’re not the same. Peter is not a soldier, Cap is. And Peter is still a teenager, he’s going to continue to develop his personality. Let him.

some excerpts:

I couldn’t think of the word “specialized” , but instead of hitting the breaks to wrestle with a thesaurus for ten minutes, I put [specific, tailored to one situation] and went on. Then when I had time I could go back to my note, see what I’d wanted to get across, and remember the word.

You need to give your breasts a break. I used to have severe pain and problems with my breasts then a Dr recommended that when I'm sitting in my room alone to just let them be free, it'll be sore for awhile but eventually you'll notice that when you do wear something very tight against your chest you're not experiencing pains like before.

Misconceptions and Appropriations from Twilight: Their community gets fucking NOTHING from the Twilight Franchise, despite Stephenie Meyer using their name to abandon as one of the major plot points.

Racial and Class Stereotypes in Twilight: How Stephenie Meyer reinforces racist and classcist dynamics in her stereotypical depictions

when i was in 8th grade, on my class trip to washington dc, we visited the holocaust museum. it’s a wonderful, extensive, informative place, and it’s a beautiful tribute to the victims. as a jewish kid, i knew what the holocaust was. i’d faced antisemetism every day of my life, and will continue to do so. i knew what had happened to my ancestors not too long ago.

but when i stood in that museum. in the recreation of the cattle trains used to move us to the camps. in the recreation of an auschwitz cabin, staring at the map of the camp. when i saw the pile of shoes and jewelry taken from the victims. when i learned how their hair, so very much like mine, was cut for having texture. and how their teeth were pulled for the gold fillings. i had a panic attack.

it was embarrassing, but i was a shitty little 8th grader, and i tried to hide it. but I couldn’t breathe. it was like there was a band around my chest the entire time i was in the museum. i was surrounded by ghosts, by the whispers of emaciated men and trapped women and crying children.

what is generational trauma?

it’s the psychological idea that trauma can be passed down through multiple different ways. trauma can change you significantly, even rewrite neural pathways and physically change how you think. that, paired with the cycle of subconsciously sharing our trauma with our children, as well as mixing with the trauma we learn as we grow, leads to some really rough patches in our relationships with our identites.

this is a really great 4 minute video from the healing foundation about the trauma carried by aboriginal people in Australia. tw for some really heavy topics, but all presented in a relaxed and serious environment.

what do we do?

well, honestly, i don’t know. it’s not like we’re gonna stop sharing our stories with our descendants, nor our histories. we can’t get rid of things related to our identities that give us our own trauma, the bigotry we face unfortunately isn’t going anywhere.

but being aware of your generational trauma is a good step. it’s not just being “sad” or “sensitive” to history. it’s our history still affecting us today. when your indigenous friends are made upset by discussions of colonization, when your black friends feel the weight of a millenia of racism placed on their shoulders, when your gay friends ask you to please stop using that word, when your trans friends see another historical figure deadnamed and misgendered, when your jewish friends can’t talk about the Shoah without their voices breaking.

so why the fuck are you lecturing us?

our murdered ancestors live on in us, in our eyes, our hearts. we are reminded of them constantly, made painfully aware of who we are and how many people hate us.

we were not supposed to survive, and if most of the world had their way, we wouldn’t have. (no, the allies were not heroes of wwii, you turned us away at your borders and continue to let us die from nazis today. if america had had the option, they wouldn’t have given a shit about jewish victims, but that’s a whole other essay i could write)

it’s time to start acknowledging the past, acknowledging your generational trauma and the trauma of those around you. i’m not making up an excuse to “have issues”. at the time i’m writing this, october 2020, i’m 17. i have felt this weight my entire life, and i will continue to shoulder it, as will everyone else.

It would be much easier to make policy on key issues like healthcare, LGBTQ rights, climate change, tax policy, immigration, and economic recovery. You want Biden to be able to pursue progressive policies? Control of the Senate would be a major boost.

Biden’s legislative and international agenda is majorly compromised if the Senate becomes a stalling point. Avoiding legislative gridlock is crucial to getting things done in general, and particularly to manage the pandemic and start undoing the damage Trump's administration has done.

The Senate confirms senior government appointees to the administration - this affects Biden’s ability to pick his Cabinet and appoint judges.

If the Democrats are able to gain control of all three offices, they can change the filibuster, making it much more difficult for Republicans to block measures.
