I promise you, do the 'stupid' thing. There is nothing your reputation won't be able to survive from. Even if you're afraid you might look desperate, uncool, dumb, whatever the fuck all those people may say. There is nothing your reputation will not survive from aslong as you act with integrity. A person who stands tall, who does not reject themselves their humanity of just being human. I promise you that once people realize you truly and genuinely are not playing games and are as genuine as you are, they will ease up to you. If I don't want to do something I'll say no, if I do want something I'll say it, if I feel like smiling I'll smile. If I can't muster a smile I won't. I do not live this life to play a role.

I've been noticing on twitter that antis of zutara seem to believe that ZK shippers are calling Katara a "broodmare"????? LIKE WHAT??? WHO???

I'm so confused because I've never seen any ZK shippers refer to her that way did they just make that shit up??

[sokkastyles]

What I've seen is this interaction:

Zutara shippers: Canon treated Katara like nothing but a broodmare

Zutara antis: OMG how DARE you say Katara is nothing but a broodmare!

"whats your 5 year plan?" buddy I nearly go insane thinking about what I should have for dinner

I think more people would benefit from my dad’s go to advice: “show up, and pay attention”

Work, friendships, relationships, etc. — all of them will be improved if you just show up and pay attention.

Show up: follow through on commitments, be present rather than distracted, keep your word

Pay attention: take notes, listen when people talk, do what you need to do to remember tasks you’ve been given, READ YOUR DAMN EMAILS

And before tumblr tumblrs, I also have undiagnosed ADHD and probably autism and “just” showing up and paying attention often takes a bit of extra effort for me. But I’m also the most recent addition to my team at work and also somehow the only one who is both on top of my shit and still only giving like 60%-70%.

I do have one warning though: once you start showing up and paying attention, you will be frustrated by how many people aren’t doing that. But hey, your boss will love you and you might even get a raise out of it.

Be careful with this advice. This is how my mom became president of her League of Women Voters chapter.

If it had been Aang who took that lightning strike for Katara in the exact same way Zuko did (same framing, same music, same slow motion desperation, etc.), people would be calling it the most romantic moment in the series. Nobody would be arguing it was just something the Avatar would naturally do for anybody. But because it's Zuko and Katara, suddenly there's this push to strip the scene of all subtext and act like taking a potentially killing blow for someone in one of the climactic emotional scenes of the show doesn't mean anything

Nobody is saying that Zuko taking lightning for Katara is Irrefutable Proof that he was canonically in love with her. That's not the point. The point is that the scene is charged with emotional intimacy and is framed in a way that audiences have learned to associate with romance. You don't have to ship zutara to recognize this, nor does the ship not being canon change that fact. And the thing is, Bryke knows this. They know that the scene is romantic. Why else would they get rid of Zuko's scar?

having anxiety is like being given permanent unwanted custody of a halter arabian. like okay buddy is it panic time again. cool you probably need more exercise and an apple and then maybe you'll calm down.

taking my stupid walks for my stupid mental health with my stupid hypervigilant brain horse

[tearlessrain]

thoroughly enjoying the notes on this post because it's equal parts people with anxiety going "yeah that's what it's like" and people with arabians going "yeah that's what they're like"

I am so done with Google AI overviews I'm gonna stab it with a needle 50 times omfg GET OFF ME AND LEAVE ME ALONE.

[mumblesplash]

no but the “”ai”” boom is crazy bc they made the entire internet so shitty that the only reason to use it is because it’s where all the people are and now they’re getting rid of the people. like i’m straight up logging off and going to the library there’s nothing on here anymore

[mumblesplash]

‘here’s how to tell if an image is ai’ ‘signs the person you’re talking to is a bot’ ‘how to tell if a song is ai generated’ ah but consider this: i am shutting my laptop and walking outside

[jedusaur]

I saw a bsky post last year where someone said their grandma couldn't tell what was real on the internet anymore so she stopped using it and I really, genuinely think the techbros currently ruining everything have never even considered that possibility. their projections and pie charts and market share research and whatever simply do not take into account a scenario where people lose interest in being online. like yeah we're pretty much all gonna keep using the internet to book travel and look up words and order pizza, but in terms of how we spend our leisure time? I'm still extremely online, but in the last few years I've been learning candlemaking and carpentry and sewing, and I was already spending a lot of time cooking and reading books and skating at the rink and hiking, and an afternoon spent on any of those things always leaves me feeling better about myself than an afternoon spent doomscrolling. I think my daily life is going to keep reflecting that more and more as the slop encroaches, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one feeling that way. silver lining to everything, I suppose.

They dressed up all nicely for a party, but they just look like they’re going to get married…kdj has no idea, he’s just happy they agreed to accompany him

[fudemushi]

If you met someone with the same last name as you, how surprised would you be?

Not at all, it's very common

A little surprised, but wouldn't immediately assume a connection

I would be surprised and assume there was some relation

I would be very surprised that I *hadn't* met this person, we must be related

Does anyone else with this last name even exist?

Never once thought that I’d get to say this about any live action adaptation for as long as I’m alive, but I’m saying it now:

BLUE LOCK LIVE ACTION TRAILER LOOKS 100x BETTER THAN THE ANIME 😭😭😭!!!

[anniespositivity]

One thing I've realised: I don't have to achieve something extraordinary in order to deserve my place in this life. I'm allowed to live quietly. I'm allowed to enjoy small hobbies and simple things. I'm allowed to work a job that simply pays the bills. I'm allowed to exist without constantly chasing something bigger. I don't have to compare myself and hold myself to an unreasonable standard all the time. Sometimes I can simply be. And still have worth. And still have every right to be here.

[disorientation]

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors
