When he was asked to be in Jimmy Kimmel’s “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” video, in which he pulled up alongside them in a car and gave Jimmy a little wink and an air-kiss, when he showed up at the set he looked kind of put out. Kimmel was afraid he wasn’t down with what they were asking. But he just said, “I don’t know, this wardrobe…don’t you have anything mesh that I could wear?”

When he was filming “Witness” he rented a small farm from a friend of mine. At the end of the filming my friend went and checked out the property as usual. He noticed the barn door had been leveled so it no longer would swing open on it’s own. Went into the house and saw the closets had been redone, in the kitchen the cabinets had been replaced and all the drawers now opened really well. Turns out that there were thousands of dollars of work and materials put into fixing up everything at the place.

My friend called Ford and asked him how much he was asking for the work. Ford told him doing that kind of thing helped him relax and stay sane when he was filming. Would not take a dime. Plus he paid for a new water heater and got the sewage system cleaned out.

And he paid rent to live there the entire time.

As someone who has family in the industry, let me tell you this: Harrison Ford is a badass, sweet old man who makes movies because he loves to make people happy. He could retire for the rest of his life and live without a worry, but he likes to make people happy. His ego hasn’t gone to his head. He doesn’t give a shit that he’s Han Solo and Indiana Jones. He likes making people happy.

Things that need to stop in the vegan movement:

  • Classism (i.e. “everyone can/there’s no excuse not to be vegan!”/”beans and rice tho!”/not acknowledging food deserts or pretending they don’t exist, etc.)
  • Fat-phobia/body shaming 
  • Misogyny (again, PETA, but they’re not the only culprits)
  • Comparing slavery/the Holocaust to treatment of animals (there’s really no need for it, and it’s more liable to turn people off from the message than onto it)
  • For that matter, talking about racism, sexism, etc. like they’re somehow in the past and we don’t need to fight them anymore, when this is not the case.
  • Ageism (i.e erasure of vegans over 50 years old, glorification of plant-based diets as “anti-aging, etc.)
  • Ableism (“harden the fuck up” mentality when it comes to mental illness/”happiness is a choice in the moment!”/using ableist terms like “psychotic,” “crazy,” “stupid,” “retard/fucktard,” etc. to describe nonvegans, the notion that a plant-based diet cures all ills or makes one immune to them, etc.)
  • Pretending that human issues don’t exist, are not important, and/or are not impacted by the same system that profits off the exploitation of animals (i.e. the same system that profits off slaughterhouses, SeaWorld, the fur industry, the leather industry, etc. can’t get by without underpaid workers, child slavery, and leaving communities of people to deal with the aftermath of their lands being devastated by clear-cutting and pollution)

For starters…

It’s also ableism to presume everyone can have a plant based diet. A lot of autistic people, people with gastrointestinal problems, people with certain eating disorders, etc. Can’t make a vegan diet work for them, even if they had a lot of money.

- Ignoring the human migrant workers exploited by farming.

- Ignoring how demand for the latest imported fad health food can price it out of reach of the local people who once depended on it.

- Pretending that farming doesn’t kill many animals incidentally in pest control and harvesting.

- Not acknowledging the cultural importance of meat and animal based products in many cultures, and refusing to admit that eating meat and animal products may help people feel connected to their culture

- Appropriating aspects of religions (especially Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism) to justify how “”“spiritually healthy”“” a vegan diet is

Anonymous asked:

What's your expectation on Steve post-civil war though?

realistically, i have very poor expectations about his character development post cacw. i think the movies will continue to portray him as the infallible right, make him into some sort of heroic vigilante who ‘fights’ for his warped sense of inflexible justice and who somehow continues to stand behind his childish philosophy of ‘let’s close our ears and not listen to any criticism because i believe i’m right’ aka ‘no you move’. i do think there will be an arc where he ‘earns’ his shield and his place in the avengers back but as much as i want it to be a thor-esque realization of his shortcomings, i think we’ll instead see him being falsely magnanimous about the whole thing, like him being captain america again is somehow a favor to the world when in reality i don’t think he can live in a world without war at all.  steve’s character has been so badly written so far that i can’t see him gaining any kind of emotional depth at all. but i do want to be proven wrong really, really badly. 

but there are things that i want to see though:

i want him to realize how shitty it was to follow a course of action that led bucky to go back into cryo. someone who has been traumatized and tortured and mentally abused so severely like bucky deserves sympathy beyond steve’s casual flippancy of his dissociative nature. and he deserves better choices than ‘should i go back to the freezer’ or ‘should i be a walking target for humanity’. for someone who would burn the world for bucky, steve seems to be surprisingly obtuse on this issue. i want him to realize that what bucky needs is proper rehabilitation, therapy and medical help, and if he really cares for his friend the way he says he does, he will reach out and make sure those doors are not closed to him forever.

i want him to understand that his past is in the fucking past. yes, i get that it must be very difficult to wake up in a new world that he doesn’t understand but the solution isn’t to crawl back into your past every chance to get, that’s a very toxic mindset. if he cannot make peace with his present life (which he did in aou but clearly the writers have forgotten all about it) then he can never anticipate or appreciate the future.

i want him to understand that the law matters. even if there are tyrants like ross at the other end, the law must be upheld and respected. the answer to a bad law is not to break and run for it. he cannot just let people like scott and clint and wanda and sam uproot their lives for him based on nothing but an idealistically flawed faith in captain america; that the ridiculous concept of right shouldn’t be what stands between them and their families and homes. yes, they made their own choices but they followed him into battle when it wasn’t their fight just because he asked them to, he must be responsible.

i want him to be less dichotomous and ideologically rigid and understand the concepts of nuance and diplomacy. every war doesn’t need to end in a fight, sometimes they can even be won by words and compromise and kind gestures, imagine that!

i want him to understand that he cannot override the wills of people and countries just because he deems them to be less true than his own. you cannot make people’s decisions for them and call it justice.

i want him to understand that good men can be fallible and they can make mistakes, and i want him to stop defining people by their mistakes and weaknesses. i want him to realize that he is a good man and to continue to remain one, he doesn’t actually need to be a stubborn, uncompromising asshole.

i want him to gain some fucking perspective basically.

Nope.

Seen the film four times already, if you Tony-stans insist on hating on Steve, the very least you can do is check your facts before publishing your hate first. Cherry picking is a fallacy of logic.

On Bucky getting help: Oh yeah, because Steve had all the time in the world to do that between an illegal and inhumane (real life law passed by the UN no less, which states that summary executions are illegal) shoot on sight order, being laughed at when asking whether Bucky would receive due process (also UN law and well as US law) via legal representation, Bucky being triggered by Zemo, then having a bombshell dropped that there are five other Winter Soldiers in existence who were Hydra’s elite soldiers before receiving the serum and who, according to Bucky, could take out an entire country without so much as breaking a sweat before anyone saw them coming. Yeah, I’m sure Steve had plenty of time to consider getting Bucky help throughout the very narrow passing of time (a few days) that Civil War took place.

Furthermore blaming Steve for Bucky’s decision to go under is ridiculous. Bucky had trigger words, in his head, that even though he lived to years in hiding as a normal citizen, just saying those words in the right order can send him spiraling back into Winter Soldier mode. There is no known therapist alive equipped to deal with that because Bucky was a unique case. My impression of that end credit scene was that he didn’t want to be a danger while Steve and T’challa looked for a way to undo the brainwashing process. I in no way got from that scene that Bucky going under was permanent or that Steve was going to sit on his ass and do nothing about it. So basically the idea of Steve sitting back and doing nothing, with no intent of ever doing anything, to help Bucky, is your opinion that your supplanting onto Steve’s characterization, not actual fact.

On Steve’s past: Negating the ableism of ‘Steve just needs to get over it’, and ableism is precisely the tone I got from your post (and boy do I find it ironic that Tony-stans create post after post of Tony’s PTSD and how traumatic for him and that poor baby OMG, but you take a war veteran who, in the process of a couple of years, went through the equivalent of a body transplant, then fought in one of the deadliest, ugliest, inhuman and traumatizing wars of all time, who then believed himself to be giving his life to save others only to wake up 70 years in the future where not only are most of the people he knew dead, but everything is so changed he has NOTHING familiar to latch onto for comfort, favorite diner? Probably gone. Favorite baseball team? Now in L.A. The food now so overly processed and possessing of excess sugar - seriously, current manufacturers even put sugar in milk and spaghetti sauce for Christ sakes – it is also unrecognizable. For Steve it must have been like waking up on an alien planet) he doesn’t actually crawl back into his past so much that he’s actually living there. He made friends with Sam. He is starting a relationship with Sharon. He is very at home with technology. For example, he is the one that flew the quinjet to Siberia, Bucky was the passenger. That said, I suppose he’s not allowed to be devastated that Peggy, the woman he was in the process of falling in love with during WW2, but more importantly (and something fandom forgets a lot) a very good friend first and foremost – I mean Peggy was the one that encouraged him to stop selling bonds and get his ass in the war – dies. And I suppose he’s not allowed to feel at all responsible to Bucky, who was Steve’s protector when he was little and sickly, the one who beat off the bullies coming after Steve, who followed Steve back into war despite being Zola’s lab experiment and POW for a while, who Steve watched fall from that train and felt responsible for that death, either, right? I mean, it would have been totes better, according to this post, if Steve didn’t feel anything during the movie for Peggy and Bucky because doing so means that Steve is forever ‘living in his past’.

On the Accords (or as you put it ‘respecting the law’): Did Steve prevent anyone who wanted to sign from signing? Nope. He made the decision not to sign for himself, he didn’t make anyone else’s decision for them. He didn’t stop Tony, he didn’t stop Rhodey, he didn’t stop Nat. He respected their agency, which is more than Tony-stans are doing for him. Steve is not obligated to sign any contract he doesn’t freakin’ want to. Imagine having the agency to decide where you want to work, who you want to be your employer, OMG what a concept! Just having that choice: sign or retire, is more than ANYONE had during the comics Civil War, where the pro-registration side went after anyone with superpowers, whether they were out in the streets causing ‘collateral damage’ or not. There were super powered people, like Jessica Jones, who didn’t want to be a superhero, she just wanted to raise her three-month-old baby, yet the pro-registration side knocked on her door in the middle of the night and expected her to sign. Steve chose retire, as was his right. The only thing that got him out of that very, very short lived retirement? An illegal ‘shoot to kill’ order on his very framed best friend whom he felt responsible for and then finding out that the enforcers of the Accords were fascists (deniers of Due Process) thus were very, very unlikely to help him out or believe him when he discovered that there were five other Winter Soldiers in existence, complete with super soldier serum, who could very easily ‘make empires fall’ without so much as breaking a sweat and who Zemo also had knowledge of.

On the will of countries: Once again, he didn’t actively try to stop the accords. He didn’t prevent anyone else from signing them. He didn’t pick up the document and burn it in protest. He didn’t picket outside the UN. He decided, for himself, not to sign, as is his right. Because once the mandatory draft stopped being enforced during the 1970’s, people actually get a choice in who they want to work for and why. Wow. It’s like we have the freedom to decide our own futures or something! Furthermore, Steve had pondered quitting the superhero business before. In Winter Soldier, after Fury told him about Project Insight, before he found out that Hydra was hijacking it for even more nefarious purposes than Steve originally thought. He still didn’t like it, even then. “This isn’t freedom, this is fear”. Thus he pondered quitting SHIELD, even so far as voicing the desire to ‘get out’ to Sam. So it’s not exactly that there wasn’t a precedence set for Steve wanting to move on if he didn’t like the way management was heading.

Sam, Clint, Wanda and Scott: Sam, Clint and Wanda all refused to sign the Accords on their own volition. Nat mentioned that she asked Clint, he chose retirement. In fact, Sam spoke out against the Accords before Steve did. And who could blame him? Sam was military. It was established in Winter Soldier that the reason he was glad to be out was that the amount of people giving him orders was down to zero. Having been in the military, where you are not allowed to disobey orders no matter how problematic you may find said orders because you will be court martialed if you do so, and mostly likely, given that he served multiple terms, he was probably ordered to invade countries on the basis of finding WMDs which were never found and became thoroughly disenchanted with army life because of it, it is really no surprise that he would be unwilling to do that again. My uncle has a Purple Heart. He was forced to fight in a war he didn’t believe in. Ask him what he thinks of war and you’ll hear mirrors of Sam Wilson. But moreover, the reason they got involved was not to ‘blindly follow Steve because OMG hero worship’. The reason they got involved was because there were five Hydra super soldiers in existence and Zemo had stated that he wanted to make ‘an empire fall’. By that point in the film, Everett Ross had already laughed at Steve when he asked whether Bucky was going to get legal representation and illegal ‘shoot on sight’ orders had long since been issued. It was pretty damn clear that Bucky was going to be scapegoated, regardless of actual guilt. But once Steve found out that Zemo was involved in the entire mess, which Zemo himself confirmed, and that other Winter Soldiers existed, the airport battle was about getting to Siberia and stopping Zemo from having access to a super soldier army to ‘make an empire fall’. That is what Sam, Clint, Wanda and Scott were fighting for in that airport battle. They wanted to stop, as Scott put it, ‘psycho assassins’.

“I want him to get perspective”: Which is Tony-stan code for “I want him to do what Tony says, follow Tony’s word as law, tow the line, worship the ground Tony walks on, answer every statement put before him with ‘yes, sir’ or ‘of course sir’ or we Tony-stans are going to go on Tumblr make thousands of posts about how evil Steve is, try to guilt Steve fans into compliance with a manipulative ‘oh you just think your fave is perfect and unable to find fault in him’ all the while writing meta after meta about how Tony was more sympathetic in the comic Civil War (bullshit, I will fight anyone on this, complete with comic panels to prove exactly how wrong you are), Tony had PTSD during Ultron and that totally excuses the creation of Ultron, or trying to take the very few close people that Steve has, like Peggy, and give them to Tony (Tony didn’t even know his father was SHIELD, this was actual dialogue in Iron Man 2, like hell he knew Peggy, and the ‘godmother’ thing is also bullshit). Basically if Steve is not there to prop up Tony, and treat Tony as a savior, he’s evil incarnate. Oh, and I forgot my favorite fallacy of logic you lot like to use… ‘Tony-hate is far more prevalent so that means we have every right to hate on Steve’ (aka the fallacy of relative privation).

The hypocrisy of Tony, ‘Hey, you fuck up, you face the consequences! Unlike me, who created the murderbot that decimated Sokovia (sound familiar?) I get away scot-free!’ Stank and his apologists is just vomit inducing!

Bill Cosby. Woody Allen. Sean Penn. Johnny Depp. They are the men whose abuse costs the absolute least to show your lack of support. Just don’t go to their movies. Don’t watch their stuff. There is so much to watch. Just go see a different movie. It’s so passive and not all that meaningful, even. It’s kind of literally the least we can do…
