it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings
i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for
on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share
Zuko was not Azula’s oppressor. And her treatement of him was not “normal sibling teasing”. Taunting him about their father wanting to kill him, constantly mocking his insecurities, trying to kill him, and smiling when he got permanently maimed are not normal sibling behaviors :)
I like the idea of Azula getting redemption and her and Zuko eventually forming a healthy relationship, but he has every reason to hate her if he chooses to.
Now that the watcher apology has come out the last thing I want to say is that yall really showed your worst colours during this and continue to do so, and more so than them breaking your trust I hope you're kind of aware of the fact that this was small fry, but the vitriol really wasn't the stuff yall are throwing in the comments particularly to Steven was disgusting (and probably racist let's be real). I hope you stop watching any stuff they put out cause yall suck.
i want a bee movie 2 that’s based around the idea of an ongoing rivalry between the bee’s and the wasps and Barry tries to get it to stop, but then Vanessa falls in love with a wasp and then Barry moves to the mountains and grows a beard
Happy lesbian visibility week/day to every lesbian around the world! I hope you're going to have a wonderful week, wherever you are. Your lesbianism is perfect and needed in the world. In this household, we love and appreciate the diversity of the lesbian experience <3
Nothing like the Pakistani gov expelling Afghan refugees en masse back to a despotic country in the wake of a devastating earthquake and on the eve of an upcoming winter. All because of attacks on Pakistan from groups linked to said despotic regime that had been at the very least tacitly supported by the Pakistani gov.
Oh.. and a potential update to this (which has been coming as there are tensions between Iran and Afghanistan):
If you're wondering how to help Afghans, and discouraged by the fact that it'd be near impossible to convince these countries otherwise, International Rescue Foundation is probably the most practical source.
Otherwise, if you're American and in a blue/swing district, pressure your rep to push for the Afghan Adjustment Act and similar measures to help refugees get here and be supported. And even if you're in an area where appeals will fall on deaf ears due to racism/nativism/Islamophobia, there are refugee orgs nearby you can get involved with.
If you're not American, there are probably equivalent things that could be done.
thinking about Giles and Evil Queen. the bitter irony they hold. how Giles always believed his students should be able to step out of their pre-destined pages and write their own stories and then one of them does.
but it's the Evil Queen who does. she already has poisoned Wonderland and taken the Storybook of Legends, and if she doesn't get stopped who knows what other evil deeds she might commit. so she gets banished to the mirror realm.
Giles still believes everyone should get to chose their destiny, but what happened to his old student continues to haunt his mind. how funny it is that Evil Queen did what he wished. how funny it was how he was there to trap her in the mirror. how funny it is that he punished his own student for what he taught. but no one is laughing.
and to twist the knife he gets betrayed by his own brother, the same person with who he banished the Evil Queen, and gets trapped below the school, away from others eyes and no one to understand him. now both him and Evil Queen are in their own prisons with no hope of freedom for the same crime they commited in different ways.
Quick reminder that you don't need a solid sexuality! You can just be in love! Or not be in love! Or have a gender! Labels are a choice, not a requirement. All you need to do is be someone you like being! If labels help with that, great! But they are not required. You don't owe it to anyone, so don't feel pressured to choose labels if they aren't your thing!
