what's going on in the congo since there's also a genocide happening over there as well:

to sum it up, people in the congo are literally being worked as slaves to mine for this material called coltan, which is very valuable as its used for things like phones, laptops, just electronics in general. Congo is the number 1 producer for this material and the places behind this genocide is America, Britain, France, and Israel, wow what an absolute shocker. The worst places probably to ever exist benefit from a genocide. These places are funding Rwanda and Uganda military groups, to go into the Congo and kill MILLIONS of people. This has also been going on for YEARS. Many women have been SA'd and men are forced to work in INHUMAN conditions, resulting in their death and the colonizers are absolutely benefitting from this. 6 MILLION people have been killed and half of them are literally kids. Many of the Congolese people have also been displaced.

Please speak out about and raise your voice

why r the x men always wearing, like, headbands and being like yeah this counts as a disguise

Do the X-Men even have secret identities?

[Image is titled: ‘Superhero Disguise Tiers.’

  • ‘A Tier’ is a full face mask, similar to Spiderman’s
  • ‘B Tier’ is a half face mask, like Daredevil’s, covering everything above the tip of the nose
  • ‘C Tier’ is a domino, covering the eyes with a strip across the nose
  • ‘X Tier’ is what is being called a ‘headband.’ It’s a band across the forehead that stops before it would be above the ears. It then comes straight down the sides of the face and stops at the cheekbone.

End ID.]

X-Men secret identities boil down to ‘I don’t interact with enough people while not wearing my costume for anyone to know my name.’

“Do the X-Men even have secret identities?”

I remember the issue where Jean and Scott finally got engaged, and when they say they have an announcement, Jubilee cracks “Did Jean finally decide on a code name??”

And they roll with it by saying “No, nothing that exciting. We’re getting married.”
