y'know, at first i was a bit disappointed they didn't change gwen's haircut for atsv because i thought that she would look cool with something new since her shaved side would be grown out... but then her hair was used perfectly to express her identity, specifically as a trans person.
throughout the movie, gwen struggles with feeling like she's not being true to herself, and says that it feels like her dad only know HALF of her. meanwhile, gwen's hair looks like this and if you spit a picture of her down the middle then you get one side that looks more like a boy and one that looks more like a girl.
not only that, but when gwen was hiding and isolating herself from her dad, her hair turned blue — meaning her currently pink hair turned blue when she was lying about who she is.
and then when gwen does finally start trying to talk about her feelings and express who she really is inside, this is what happens.
not only does her hair (as well as her bedroom) look reminiscent of the trans pride flag, but she's also mainly turned towards the right in this scene, showing off the longer side of her hair...
anyways, gwen stacy is a tran woman and it couldn't be more obvious.
More train than dragon but I fold, metro train from the DC area cause public transit is cool
Real talk why does social interaction feel like you’re trying to get a good grade in being a person
Ahhh, glad to see it always comes back to this

A series of pictures depicting issues for those who rely on wheelchairs.
A person with glasses sitting on a wheelchair stares at a door entrance located on a set of stairs.
Did you know... Some of us couldn’t even enter our own homes?
A crowd gathers in front of a bus, with a person on a wheelchair on the back, trying to get other people’s attention.
Please be mindful... Of those who can’t “push” their way around!
A woman with a hijab and glasses sits at a receptionist desk. A person on a wheelchair wearing a kippah is unable to reach the top to get her attention.
Simple things like reception desk height actually matters a lot!
A person on a wheelchair wearing a baseball hat backwards is unable to close the door to the restrooms. Despite this, the sign outside is marked as wheelchair accessible.
It is as if... Some doors aren’t meant to be closed!
A person on a wheelchair is frightened as their wheelchair goes down too fast down a ramp.
Did you know... That wheelchair ramps are steeper than recommended?
A man wearing a kippah is about to enter a temple, but covers his wheelchair wheels with a cover to keep the inside of the temple as clean as possible.
Wheelchairs go everywhere... But we can provide wheel covers for special places.
A picture of a parking lot Two cars are parked, one with most space to allow a disabled person to get on and off. A woman holding crutches is angered at a motorcycle parked in front of her car, which isn’t supposed to be there. A person on a wheelchair nearby notices her anger.
There’s a reason why... Certain space is allocated at disabled parking lots. And no, it’s not for your bike!
Two people stand in front of an automatic door. One is a child attempting to wave their hands to get it to open, and the other is a person on a wheelchair.
Notice that sometimes... Automatic door sensors are a bit short?
A bus is waiting at a stop. A person on a wheelchair is unable to get to the stop due to a steep ledge in front of them.
Are you aware that... Despite the upgraded buses, the bus stops need upgrading too?
A person on a wheelchair is using an ATM machine, which is placed at a lower position so they’re able to reach and use the machine comfortably.
In case you’re wondering... Why the new ATM machine designs are lower and slightly uncomfortable to use while standing up...

Malaria. Is. Not. A. Virus.
This isn't just you. Most people in America don't know anything about malaria whatsoever, but seeing the fearmongering lately is driving me bananas. So, in the hopes of clearing some things up, here's a quick fact sheet on malaria and why it actually isn't that scary.
- Malaria isn't a virus. It is the name for the collection of symptoms you experience when infected by the plasmodium parasites. These parasites live in your blood and eat your red blood cells.
- There is no cure because parasitic infections aren't "cured." You resolve them by killing the parasite. You also don't "vaccinate" for parasites either, so I would definitely recommend major caution about whatever the hell the "malaria vaccine" is meant to do.
- There is a vast range of very effective medications that exist today which combat malaria. My preferred go-to is artesinate, but they change every few years or so when newer, better ones are invented. Check with a doctor who isn't going to panic about malaria. (Those doctors can be difficult to find in the US.)
- For people who can access the medication, malaria is rarely more than an inconvenience of about a week. People die of it because of global poverty, not because it can't be treated or recovered from. Most malarial sickness are over in about four days if you get them treated. Genuinely, there are just a lot of poor people in the world.
- Malaria is not contagious. It can't be transmitted any other way than mosquito bites, including sex. I guess a blood transfusion could do it, but outside of that, you're down to mosquitoes only.
- Malaria carrying mosquitoes are native to the US. Transmission in the United States has always been on the cards.
- You do not "have it for life" once infected. There are extremely rare instances of malaria resurfacing after a period of dormancy, but they are very, very rare and can be treated just like the initial infection when they occur. You are not on the hook for lifelong medication.
Malaria is very unpleasant, don't get me wrong. And yes, if left untreated, is fatal. But there is a very unreasonable level of panic about it in the US.
SOURCE: I lived in a malaria area for six years and have personally had malaria at least four times.
Thank you. This is comforting but 100% reflects even more sketch vibes on BioNTech.
my chronic pain would be much more manageable if i was made like a lego
