No one wants to be the person who is made fun of for caring too much about something, who treats in earnest a situation that everyone else considers absurd. Even in personal relationships, feeling too heavily invested while simultaneously understanding that the other person couldn’t be more detached is one of the most profound feelings of embarrassment we can experience. Because it isn’t simply the embarrassment of making a mistake or a poor choice, it’s a shame over the kind of human being you are and how you see the world around you. To be shamed for your sincerity is to be reminded that you are dependent on something which is not dependent on you — that you are, once again, vulnerable.

 As most of us are aware, things aren’t looking that great for Agent Carter. Ratings have fallen, and nobody knows if it’s going to get renewed or not. Some are even saying it might get cancelled, and the remaining episodes won’t air.

Might I just remind you all that this is the MCU’s first project with a female lead. If we want more projects with female leads, we can’t let Agent Carter get cancelled. Agent Carter getting cancelled will prove to Marvel that female-led projects aren’t worth their time and money. Want a Black Widow movie? Hoping that another female character might get her own show/movie? Agent Carter’s cancellation won’t bode well for it.

Agent Carter is an absolutely fantastic show. Hayley Atwell is, as we all know, fantastic as Peggy. Perfect casting. She blows me away every single episode, and it’s practically impossible not to fall in love with the character (and Hayley herself). Don’t believe me? Watch the first Captain America movie. Watch the Agent Carter one-shot (set after the show).

Peggy Carter is the strong female role model we need. Even if the show is set in the 40’s after WWII, she’s still incredibly relatable to so many of us in so many different ways. If you’re looking for a show with an intelligent female lead that takes no shit, kicks ass, and looks drop dead gorgeous while doing it… this is your show for you. And at eight episodes, it isn’t exactly difficult to get through and catch up on. If you’re into period dramas, give it a try! The attention to detail with this era is astounding.

But Peggy isn’t the only brilliant character. We have Angie, played by the amazing Lyndsy Fonseca (you may know her as Ted’s daughter in HIMYM), Edwin Jarvis (yes, that Jarvis) played by James D’Arcy (currently also plays Lee Ashworth in the new series of Broadchurch, also played Sherlock in a 2002 TV movie!), Dottie played by Bridget Regan (also currently plays Rose in Jane the Virgin), and Agent Sousa played by Enver Gjokaj (he was in Dollhouse, and even played an NYPD officer in The Avengers!).

Also, for Black Widow fans - this show is shedding light on the Red Room facility in Soviet Russia. If you’re interested on seeing the MCU’s take on the Red Room, there you go!

Agent Carter has shown the trials and tribulations that not only women of this era went through (sexual harrassment, sexism and misogyny in the workplace, sexual objectification), it has also shed light on PTSD (as shown through Agent Thompson, a co-worker of Peggy’s), and physical disabilities (Agent Sousa’s war injury).

And did I mention the interesting plot, witty dialogue (especially between Peggy and Jarvis), and appearances of Howard Stark? Even the Howling Commandos had an appearance in the latest episode!

This all sounds like a great show, don’t you think? You’re right, it’s just brilliant. And it’d be a damn shame to see it cancelled.

So, what can you do?

We all know that social media is one of the best places to raise awareness and promote things, and Twitter and Facebook are definitely up there with the best ones for doing so. Here, there are lots of things you can do, such as:

Like the official Agent Carter Facebook page

Follow the official Agent Carter Twitter account

Change your Facebook and/or Twitter header to this, or something similar

Add ‘agent carter’ into your Twitter name (i.e., ‘daisy’ becomes ‘agent carter daisy’)

And here’s where my main idea comes in:

Trend #AgentCarter

This weekend (Sat 7th Feb and Sun 8th Feb), do everything in your power to get #AgentCarter trending.

Tweet it as many times as you can, but remember to only use the hashtag once per tweet or else it won’t come up and help it to trend. Retweet tweets that use the hashtag. Use the hashtag in every single tweet, related to Agent Carter or not. Tweeting about Agent Carter? Use #AgentCarter. Tweeting about something completely random? Use #AgentCarter. Those twelve characters are hardly anything. Obviously, ideally tweet about Agent Carter as much as you possibly can. Build up the hype! We have to show that we care.

I wouldn’t suggest tweeting Hayley and the rest of the cast too much, but a few tweets from each of us definitely wouldn’t hurt! It’s good to show the cast and crew how much we care about the show, but don’t completely swamp them. But definitely tweet Marvel and ABC Network.

Don’t have Twitter or Facebook? Keep active on Tumblr. Keep making edits, gif sets, fanart, whatever you want. Be creative!

Want to do more? Great! Here are some more things you can do to help (taken from this page):

Call ABC’s feeback line: 818-460-7477 (USA ONLY) After calling the number, Press 1 for ABC Television Network. Press 2 for Leave Comment. Press 2 for Prime Time Shows. Enter 243 for Agent Carter. Leave a message that lasts up to 30 seconds, and then hang up. Please note: I am uncertain as to whether or not this costs money.

Send ABC an email

Watch Agent Carter legally This is a brand new show, so it obviously isn’t up on Netflix yet. Agent Carter currently only airs in the United States, Canada, and will be starting in New Zealand on Feb 11th. If you live outside these areas like I do, all is not lost. They may not be legal and they don’t count towards the viewing numbers (or whatever), but livestream Agent Carter as it airs and tweet as much as you can about it.

 Legal places to watch/buy Agent Carter include:

1x01 - Hulu | ABC | Amazon | iTunes | Android 1x02 - Hulu | ABC | Amazon | iTunes | Android 1x03 - Hulu | ABC | Amazon | iTunes | Android 1x04 - Hulu | ABC | Amazon | iTunes | Android 1x05 - Hulu | ABC | Amazon | iTunes | Android 1x06 - Airdate: 10th Feb 1x07 - Airdate: 17th Feb 1x08 - Airdate: 24th Feb

Word of mouth Tell everyone you know about this show, especially if you live somewhere that’s currently airing it.

And… I think that’s it. Please reblog and share this post in as many places as you can to get the word out. This is a great show, and it would be an absolute travesty for it to get cancelled.

TL;DR - We’re attempting to trend #AgentCarter on Twitter all day both days this weekend (7-8th Feb).

Baltimore, Maryland – This week, a 13-year-old girl received 10 stitches in her head after she was attacked by police at Vanguard Middle School in Baltimore. The entire incident was caught on video and shows the school police officer yelling at the small child for apparently no reason.
When the child, who was later identified as Starr, tries to go about her own business and walk past the officer, the officer freaks out and grabs the child by the arm, throwing her against the wall.
“The officer was hollering at her and said, ‘Little girl, get down here, and so Starr said, ‘My name is not little girl, it’s Starr.’ Starr came on down the steps, and Starr said that’s when the officer grabbed her,” Starr’s grandmother, Vanessa Ward, told WBAL.
When Star attempted to free herself, the officer grabbed the child by the hair and began fighting with her.
At that point, Starr’s cousin Diamond witnessed the altercation but did not realize that it was an officer involved. When she attempted to rescue her young cousin from the attack, the rabid officer turned on her and pulled out a Baton, striking the girl in face. Diamond had her back against the wall and her hands up in the air when she was hit with the baton.
There was reportedly another unnamed girl involved in the scuffle, and it was later reported that the officer used pepper spray on all three of the girls. The school did not inform the family of the attack, but they had to learn about the situation later from paramedics when the girls were hospitalized.
“The officer kind of comes from behind and reaches around and sprays them multiple times in the face with pepper spray. It’s disgusting,” Jared Jaskot, the family’s attorney told reporters.

The criminalization and brutalization of black and brown bodies starts at an early age, most notably in our schools. It feels like there’s no safe haven for us and our children. We need SROs out of our schools immediately and a concrete strategy to end the school-to-prison pipeline. We say no more to this obscene violence. #saveourchildren #staywoke #farfromover

Wow the context of this entire situation is what makes this horrible. THIS IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL!! Why is there a need to use such excessive force on children? Even if they are bad ass kids they’re not criminals on the street or animals. This is unacceptable!

#hell#we had some nasty school officers in HS#they would get too rough on the students#and when the students would try to record it for evidence#they would find out via the video cameras#identify the kid#and demand his phone in the middle of class
