For trans women of color who are living in their truth,

For women who choose to wear hijab,

For black folks who dare to survive in the face of joblessness and divestment by selling loosies or turning tricks,

For undocumented women who dare to have children,

#i was going to meta this but this is kind of too emotionally devastating to meta#we see the men of shield get entire movies and series of their pain and emotions#and see the women in moments like these#small quiet and private moments#and that they get mere moments to grieve just breaks my heart#it’s not that i don’t love getting to see them be lethally competent and getting stuff done because i do#but they’ve lost just as much if not more with the fall of shield#and maria’s defending its ghosts in congress#may’s keeping it together because phil’s the heart of shield now and she has to protect that#nat at least is off rebuilding herself#and i just want them to get time to grieve for themselves and what they’ve lost#maria hill#melinda may#natasha romanoff (via regionsofkindness)
