barely holding on with both hands so he won’t fall into the overcharged reactor until pepper refuses to push the button that might kill him and he LETS GO WITH ONE ARM SO HE’LL DROP ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT PEPPER AND TELL HER TO PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN

“Yasuke was a samurai of black African origin who served under the Japanese warlord Oda Nobunaga in 1581 and 1582. The name “Yasuke” was granted to him by Nobunaga, although why and when is unclear. His original name is unknown - or, at least, there’s no record of it (none that’s been found at this time); so it is unclear if Yasuke is a Japanese rendering of his previous name, or a wholly new name granted by his lord.”

This is LIT!

A Russian troll using black history to grow the popularity of their account...

Something’s lit.

**since Sandra Bland was murdered in a Waller County jail cell.

And you have the nerve to take this poor woman’s memory and co-opt it for Russian psyops?  Asshole.

I am fed up with the media nowadays

I’m fed up with Russians pretending to be POC online, but whatever right? (yes, OP is a russian)

And she’s Vietnamese/Southeast Asian too which is even rarer to see on screen. Representation Matters #Diversity ❤️

y e s

When she turns out to be Finn’s girlfriend you all better treat her right

So the common theme with these Russian Troll (Op in this case, cartnsncreal) i that they take popular tweets and fb stories and put them on tumblr to guarantee reblogs. 

It’s also important to note that a 39 white man is still considered a kid.

comment above? Yeah, troll.

Amazing work! We have so many Muslim women that we can be proud of! People need to know about them! Our society is used to portray these people as terrorists and promote this image and stereotype, but people do not even know that a wonderful woman could hide behind the hijab! As a consequence, many of them suffer from prejudiced attitudes and do not have the opportunity to lead a full life…

So, more of this! Stop islamophobia!

But they value our lives even less

Ok but look:

I’m really screaming

he was planning on eating the baby 😭

Ok, as a biology major, y’all need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog. 

Oh, and on snake yawning, the person above is wrong (SOURCE 1; SOURCE 2)

Some people take massive leaps to turn something innocent into a fucking issue

OP is another of the Russian trolls

Well, if this show is “Too Black” then America is too white.

I’m screaming white people are performance art 😂😂😂😂

OP also identified as a Russian troll

Kayla Renee Parker shared her story of how she managed to expose her racist teacher who appeared to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

However, it wasn’t enough to hide her racism. 

It all started with a simple question from a test. The question stated, 

So, obviously, Kayla chose C. And it was incorrect. According to the teacher, the right answer was D.

The argument started when Kayla wrote her an email and respectfully provided the professor the evidence, even directly from their textbook. “However, my Professor continued to argue that family bonds were not destroyed and that 2/3 of slave families were headed by two parents.” The teacher cited Herbert Gutman, sociologist, who died in 1985 and surely took part in the whitewashing of Black history.

When they met to discuss the subject in person the professor gave Kayla books to read adding such statements as, “This book would be good for you to read. I believe it’s $6 so I could buy it for you if you’d like.” The stated that she spent her whole life fighting for minorities and something like “I’ve got Black friends.” 

When the girl was proving her opinion, she heard more comments as, “You’re talking to someone who has spent their entire life fighting for people of diversity and marched with my Black brothers and sisters.”

As the result, the teacher asked Kayla to lecture the class on the topic and that was her fatal mistake.

Kayla took all her courage and made a presentation on the topic she was passionate about. She defended Black people and Black history. Here’s her presentation.

That was the point where the story should end, but NO.

The professor obviously forgot about privacy settings on Facebook and posted offensive comments about Kayla.

The professor’s last words to Kayla were:

This time The University of Tennessee stood up for the student. In July the teacher officially retiring from the university.

This is fucking insane.

The last paragraph of kaya’s story is everything:

To my Professor, I forgive you for robbing me of my focus last semester. I forgive you for calling my Father, a graduate of Yale Medical School, “educationally challenged.” I even forgive you for threatening me. However, I do not forgive you for being willfully ignorant to the subjects you teach students. I also do not forgive you for claiming to be an ally. An ally is so much more than wearing a safety pin. It also requires that you listen to the needs of Black people and respect the issues that we raise. When a Black student raises a concern over the way you are portraying her history, referring to all you’ve done for Black people doesn’t change the fact that you’re portraying slavery as some kind of slavery lite. As an educator and as an ally, you are not expected to know everything but this does not abdicate you from the responsibility of always continuing to learn- even from your students. Additionally, if you wanted to actually help Black men and women, you’d value our words. Unfortunately, your actions simply mirror how America values Black people in today’s society.

This Black girl is a hero who overcame her fear and faced her teacher defending Black people and Black history. 

#StayWoke #BlackPride #StopRacists

Wow. Bet this piece of work bought into the the idea of benevolent slave masters too.

So the whole addition about Kayla? Yeah, that acount has been id’d as a Russian troll.

star trek is fucking wild.

AO3 PLAGIARIST ALERT

heads up Voyager writers (particularly Janeway writers), I’ve uncovered a plagiarist.  so far, one story by J/C writer Elem but this author has several stories labeled “Reimagined” and I have the suspicion these could be plagiarized as well.

as evidence, Elem’s original (posted to AO3 in January):

the plagiarized copy (posted on the 19th):

Elem’s original on her website, posted March 2008:

I would suggest to all Voyager authors to check this person’s work and see if you or someone you know has been plagiarized.  

AO3 allows people who are not the author to report TOS violations and their form is here.  https://archiveofourown.org/abuse_reports/new

As far aas I can tell at least anything that has reimagined added is stolen.

This person plagiarized the whole story, but usually replaces Chakotay with their own character “Kaelan”…a lot of the stories are elem’s but:

Call to Arms is by @ralkana’s, 2002

Home is by @lodessa‘s, 2014

Thanks for letting us now @cheile!!!

Downtime is by Medie, 2013

Impulsive is surena_13′s, 2012

Broken Bough is by Zenece, 2013.

Reported to AO3 abuse. Thanks @cheile for spotting this plagiarism.

No, Broken Bough is by elem, 2008

I think @caladeniablue meant ‘When We Say Goodbye’ is by Zenece. It’s a Janeway/Torres. You know, if you’re going to plagiarise, it’s not a great idea to post your rip-offs using the original authors’ titles on a site as frequented as AO3.

Good good, that was one I had trouble finding the original for.

Maybe they thought they could get away with it if they labeled it with the original title “Re Imagined” 🙄🙄

So on closer inspection, looks like the ‘Reimagined’ stories aren’t the only ones plagiarised.

I saw that Zenece left a comment on the plagiarised version of his/her story ‘When We Say Goodbye’, followed the link back to their AO3 account and noticed they have a story called ‘Tell Her’ (published July 2013) which Johnathan of Trill has copied as ‘Tell Him’, again with the OC substitution (published November 2017).

I haven’t delved any further but I’d suggest any Voyager writers look at this person’s other stories to see what else might have been stolen.

Looks like somebody needs a lecture on plagiarism. This person clearly either doesn’t care or doesn’t understand what plagiarism is. There is nothing “reimagined” about copying a story word by word and simply changing a character’s name and rank to replace a canon character with an OC.

@medie

Oh, YAY. So much fun. Report has been made. Just...ugh, seriously?
