I need a spin-off show where Ava Starr(Ghost) and Antonia Dreykov(Taskmaster) go around the world and save children from being forced into soldiers or assassins

The Russian Invasion

Due to personal reasons, I am switching to a canon where Natasha moved her family onto the Avengers compound post-Endgame, because obviously the Snap couldn’t get any of them. And Antonia and a bunch of other Widows ended up coming along. The government undoubtedly panic-funded the Avengers after the snap, so she’s got a lot of money to get the Widows into college or whatever they want to do.

The other Avengers come back from their various angstfests and the place is crawling with Russians. The Widows are playing games, having fun, working on college applications, and messing with all the expensive equipment. A few of them are probably making out now that they’re allowed to have actual relationships.

Natasha is working in one of the offices while some of the more business-oriented Widows wander in and out to help her. Yelena and Alexei are having a very aggressive, very Russian Super Smash Bros death match on the Playstation (right before Alexei’s Big Fight with Steve, of course). Melina is making magic in Tony’s lab and trying to get the pigs to spell with alphabet blocks. Said pigs are running all over the fields, and making a glorious mess of things, along with Fanny the dog. Antonia is out in the sun listening to music and waiting for when she’ll be able to take the bandages from her latest facial reconstruction surgery off.

The Avengers come in, all confused, and she very nicely tells them to get with the fucking program, and also don’t take Melina’s special snacks from the fridge. Then Alexei challenges Steve to a duel, just as soon he manages to finally beat Yelena at Super Bros.

(And obviously Natasha doesn’t die in this reality, because everybody flies to Vormir and bullies the Red Skull into giving her back after she sacrifices herself).

so why is autism speaks bad? I'm confused

Hello.

There are a number of reasons why we feel that Autism Speaks isn’t good for Autistics. I’m going to give you some bullet points, and then link to a couple of resources both from our website and from the community.

There are no Autistics on their board of directors, or currently in any of their major decision making bodies. (While they did have Robison on their Science advisory, he left when they released a pretty bad press release after years of them being unresponsive to his feedback.) An organization that fails to include the people who they are “serving” in meaningful leadership positions is unacceptable. NAACP run by white people wouldn’t be alright; NOW run by men would be unacceptable; and an Autism organization without autistic leadership is not okay. 

Their Budget. While they have a high transparency score, they have a VERY low financial score on Charity Navigator, and for good reason. Only 4% of their funding goes towards supporting families via things like service grants. 21% is advertising and 22% is fundraising, and 5% is administrative costs. (44% is research, but we’ll get to that in a minute.) The executive pay- several over $400,000/year- is pretty high for an autism non-profit. 

The research doesn’t help living autistics. Very very little of the research Autism Speaks funds actually goes to quality of life. Instead the majority goes towards causation and prevention. As a lot of that research is genetic in nature, prevention means research into selective abortion of fetuses with markers for autism. Not only does this not help autistics of any age, it encourages the idea that it’s better to not exist than to RISK being disabled (and in particular, autistic). 

They promote stigma. Remember that “awareness” and advertising budget? A lot of that money goes towards things like Autism Everyday, a video in which a parent talks about wanting to complete a murder suicide with her autistic daughter and deciding against it because she has a “normal” child as well.* They also funded a video called I Am Autism (Transcript) in which a menacing voice claiming to be autism brags about “tearing families apart” at great detail. And remember what I mentioned about Robison resigning from his involvement with them? The final straw for him was an open letter written by Suzanne Wright, one of Autism Speak’s founders, to open a national Autism policy summit (which co-incidentally didn’t involve Autistics) in which Autistics are equated to being missing and being a crisis comparable to needing military intervention. These are just major examples; this tone of horror, tragedy, destruction, and crisis permeates Autism Speaks’ public message. Even in their more positive campaigns, it is an underlying message that being an autistic is not a good thing. 

They take money out of local communities. Many people attend walks thinking that the money raised will help support their local autism centers or families. Very little of this money if any comes back to the community it came from. 

We at ASAN put out a flyer a few years ago with a short version of this information. It’s slightly out of date, particularly when it comes to the alternate places to donate list, but the points still stand. More recently, we put out a Joint letter with a number of other organizations going into more detail about why we at ASAN as an organization- and our co-signers as well- object to Autism Speaks. 

This is Autism Flash blog response from the Autistic Community in response to Suzanne Wright’s Call to Action letter. ASAN didn’t run this, though we are supportive of it. 

A lot of people wrote or made video responses to the I Am Autism video. As far as I know, though, there wasn’t an especially organized response. You can still see a lot of them by searching google for “I Am Autism Response.” 

Check out boycottautismspeaks, an independent collaboration between autistics and autism positive parents. (They are also on Facebook!) 

A number of autistics have written posts talking about why they don’t like or support Autism Speaks. Some might be out of date on some of the details, but still current on the major issues.

Golden Hearted Rose’s is a favorite by the tumblr autistic community. 

Autistic Hoya writes very powerful posts, and their posts about Autism Speaks are no exception. 

* In Autism Everyday, she also talks about her daughter being non-communicative while her daughter comes up to her multiple times throughout asking if her mommy is okay. -Savannah

hey i just wanna say if you’re taking antidepressants, i’m proud of you. if you’re going to therapy, i’m proud of you. if you’re asking yourself what you really need to be healthy, i’m proud of you. if you’re noticing positive mood changes, i’m proud of you, and if you’re struggling with down days, i’m proud of you. if you’ve been feeling pain and you’re treating the symptoms, i’m proud of you. if you’re learning to voice your needs, i’m proud of you. if you’ve been feeling miserable for just under a decade and you still think you’re faking it, but on the chance that you aren’t you’re trying to heal yourself, i am really proud of you.
