“Star Wars was built and branded around the Skywalker name, a legacy of the righteous Queen of Naboo and the Chosen One, princess and best pilot in the galaxy and all passed down to the little prince. I have no problem with Rey taking the Skywalker name at the end of the film, if it wasn’t for how the life and legacy of Ben was handled. No mention of him after his death, no recognition that the infamous Kylo Ren had come home like his mother always thought he would, nothing but a few seconds in Rey’s arms until he disappeared. He didn’t get a funeral like his grandmother and grandfather before him, no homage to his sacrifice was mentioned. He didn’t even appear as a force ghost in his family’s home as a final goodbye and to give closure to the Skywalker legacy. Disney had so much potential for this trilogy, for Ben Solo, and instead they gave it to Rey without even honoring the Skywalker lineage. It was a pathetic end for a story line that’s been going on since 1977.”

My daughter also needs to see if your son can manage a house, cook food. Only then we’ll agree to this marriage.
My Nana did not flee Germany as a child for you fuckers to still be pro-nazi and anti-semitic

otis and ruby are girlboss and malewife
no, canada and the usa are not the same
but the differences aren't what white canadians make them out to be
ask a white canadian what the difference and they'll tell you canada is more 'polite', that we have a better human rights record
which is, of course, absolute bullshit
you really want to know the differences? here are the ones i can think of:
we've never elected a person of colour as leader of the country (fuck obama but cmon guys, jagmeet singh is right fucking there)
we maintain a better reputation, despite doing essentially everything that the usa is criticized for
meanwhile, our record of genocide and slavery is parallel to theirs
indigenous communities still don't have access to safe drinking water
black and brown people are still disproportionately incarcerated and forced to work for cents per hour (legalized slavery)
a man who did blackface and brownface at least three times has led this country for two terms
the liberal party's federal government continues to sell arms to places like saudi arabia, weapons which are then used to kill brown people overseas
justin trudeau is very fond of drone strikes (in asian and middle eastern countries, because if he did that to white countries it would be recognized internationally that he is committing war crimes)
our healthcare system still doesn't include dentalcare, pharmacare, or opticalcare
I could go on, but hopefully you're getting the point. in case you aren't, this is the point
