I don't really know how high jump works, but I just saw two athletes who were in a dead-heat after many, many jumps decide to share the gold medal instead of continuing to compete for a tie-breaker, and their shared joy absolutely stole my heart:
Disney has trademarked the names of a bunch of Norse gods.
This is not okay.
These gods do not belong to Disney. They do not belong to Marvel. They belong to themselves and themselves alone, along with all those who worship them as the deities they are.
Thor, Loki, Odin, etc., these gods were not thought up by anyone at Disney or Marvel.
Stan Lee knew how sacred these gods are to those who follow many different Pagan traditions, how sacred they are to Scandinavian cultures to whom they are so important.
My best friend follows the Norse gods. She will be so bloody offended when she finds out about this. These are her gods, this is her religion. These are the deities she worships, the gods she prays to, the traditions she follows. She enjoys the Marvel portrayals of these characters, but they are separate from the gods she believes in.
Disney is stepping on her religion in an effort to gain more and more money.
Stan Lee did not trademark these names. He understood their importance and their sacred meaning. He was respectful enough not to do this.
These names are not the intellectual property of anyone. Neither the original names in runes nor the anglicised names that are used in Marvel's works.
They were around well before us (a whole ass millennium before us), and they will be around well after the greedy bastards who have decided to trademark religious symbols are dust.
It should be common sense and common courtesy not to trademark the names of religious figures, which all of these gods and goddesses are, even if you do not believe in them.
mod is not christian but you would never see me trademark jesus ffs it crosses a Line
If you agree, please sign and share the petition. If you can, please chip in to get this petition everywhere it can possibly go.
It is f**king disgusting that Disney is doing this.
It needs to stop.
Oh, and one more thing.
FUCK DISNEY.

Queer Native Americans and indigenous people are beautiful and deserving of affection and respect. Queer BIPOC make the LGBTQ+ community better by being in it.
dr abu al-ouf was head of internal medicine at palestine’s main hospital, al-shifa.
he was just killed along with twelve members of his family, including his parents, his wife and two of his three children.
there was no warning before an israeli air strike demolished the apartment building he was living in.
on the left is a picture of dr mouin al-aloul.
he was gaza’s top neurologist. he was killed the same day as dr abu al-ouf.
a few days earlier, israeli air strikes destroyed roads leading to gaza’s main hospital.
red crescent, a medical humanitarian group from qatar, and médecins sans frontières (doctors without borders) had their facilities and crew targeted by israeli air attacks.
gaza’s main covid lab was damaged in an idf strike and has ceased all operations.
regardless of the fact that there’s a pandemic happening, which isn’t over for most of the developing world, the loss of medical personnel at a time when they’re so desperately needed is devastating, to say the least. and a breach of the geneva convention, making all these events a certified war crime.
this post covers some really good charities that offer medical aid to palestinians in need. please consider donating if you’re looking to help!
there is no defence to targeting medical personnel. there is no justification, no argument, no “but hamas” about it. palestine’s fragile healthcare system is already at breaking point, and this bombardment has only driven it further over the edge.
if you can’t donate, that’s totally okay. just please do keep spreading awareness!
