“we’re ruining the planet” i’m sorry who is this we i don’t recall myself running a billion dollar oil business

hey i know we’re all made to feel guilty for it, but u don’t need to wait for your energy reserves to get to 0% before you allow yourself to take a break and recharge.

i don’t force my phone to hit zero before i plug it in, or else it takes ages for it to even turn back on, and ages longer to get it to a level where I’m comfy taking it out of the house. similarly, pushing yourself to use up the last dregs of energy is gonna slow you down for way longer than you need.

take a break when you can (regardless of whether you ‘deserve’ it!) and do what you need to recharge.

Indigenous people in Attawapiskat cannot drink their water or bathe themselves, and haven’t been able to for weeks. They called a state of emergency.

What is Justin Trudeau’s response?

1 litre per day of water for kids under 2 years old. 1.5 litres per elder. The Tribal council must pay for this water in advance before they can be reimbursed next month.

This is shameful.

Is there anything we tumblr readers can do to help?

allthecanadianpolitics

1. If you’re not Canadian just sharing this post and following this blog will help.

Also follow these other Canadian Politics blogs and share their posts too:

@onpoli @torontopoli @ontarionewsnow @abpoli @nspoli @politicsofcanada @nlpolitics @qcnews @pnwpolitic @bcpoli

2. If you are Canadian, there is a Federal Election in October. Vote for NDP. They’re the only party who has given a damn about what is going on in Attawapiskat. As far as I can tell the NDP is the only party to even visit Attawapiskat this month. Volunteer and donate too.

3. If you are Canadian, write to the PM, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and your member of Parliament and demand that they help this community. Find your MP here:

instead of saying “let people hate religion” say “let people hate christianity” because i promise you that the first one sets off big sirens in every jewish and muslim person’s head.

The first training of Zuko we see, Iroh shoots a fireball right into Zuko’s face - while Zuko just stands there unflinching. It’s the very first episode, and Zuko & Iroh are the obvious villains, and it just seems like some macho bs they do. And then comes the duel with Zhao, and Zuko is down, but when he sees that flaming fist to his face, something lets loose inside him that helps him turn the fight around…But it’s not until we learn Zuko’s backstory that all this gets a whole new meaning.

Why would Zuko still be on basics if not because he suffered a huge setback after his agni kai? Imagine how much hard work, patience it was to build Zuko back up again, so he would not freeze in blind panic (or curl up in a ball) when fire gets close to his face. I think Iroh practiced this with him all the time until he could stand there unflinching (knowing that Iroh is in full control of his bending and trusting that his uncle would never hurt him). And when it came to the duel with Zhao, Zuko could react in a RL situation instead of freezing up, and turn all the negative feelings (rage, anger, pain, whatever) into fuel to win the fight against a bender who is much more skilled than he is.

And Iroh obviously drilled him with control and restraint, because no matter how much he lets his rage loose, he has enough control not to hurt Zhao and enough self-restraint not to burn him at the end. I definitely think it was a deliberate choice on Iroh’s part to hold back on teaching offensive forms to Zuko beyond the basics (knowing that combining those with his unprocessed anger could result in him being out of control and hurt people). Instead, it seems he concentrated on teaching him defensive forms, fire breath, heat control, and so on…

emletish-fish

Oh god, that makes such sense. Even after recovery, Zuko would not have wanted fire anywhere near him, especially his face, and it would have been ages until he could bend without flinching. But rather than seeing it as part of recovery from a very traumatic experience. He would have beaten himself over the head with it, internally, because he would have seen flinching at fire as a weakness.

royaltealovingkookiness

@emletish-fish Exactly!! That’s the most heartbreaking aspect for me that Zuko would totally see it as his own shortcoming, and add it to the Ozai-shaped pile of self-loathing that’s already festering inside him. It’s a viscious circle - his self-worth was already destroyed when it came to his pre-trauma bending (not as good as a literal prodigy = worthless). Suffering a huge setback (and reacting to fire with fear) would just make it all worse. I’d love to see a glimpse of all the crazy methods Iroh had to use to pull him out of that pit and rebuild him as a bender.

But I think, he doesn’t completely overcome his trauma until the meeting with the dragons. Zuko’s bending seems generally stronger against other elements (in CoD, he fares better against Katara than Azula does, for example), but he’s not able to effectively counter Azula before TFM (but afterwards there is a huge improvement, which to me means it’s not a question of technique, but of a psychological issue).

And while the show doesn’t really expand on it, I think this is the reason why Zuko is the perfect firebending teacher for Aang - he knows about overcoming fear and other psychological barriers when it comes to fire (as opposed to Jeong-Jeong who never stopped hating his own element and treating it as a beast to be tamed).

Jews are never white supremacists or complicit in white supremacy and frankly it’s worrying and suspicious how quickly people are willing to pin white supremacy on The Jews

afrodesiaq-deactivated20250629

it’s true that jewish people cannot BE white supremacists, but you do not have to be white to be complicit in or work to uphold white supremacy. people living in a society founded on and steeped in white supremacy are all capable of taking actions that uphold white supremacy, and doing so intentionally and knowingly is complicity in it even if you do not reap the benefits of white supremacy.

if, (just for completely hypothetical example,) a rabbi publishes a letter in a well known explicitly white supremacist publication, specifically calling for america to be a white nation because black and hispanic people are inferior both intellectually and morally, that is both complicity in and upholding white supremacy.

the refusal to call these things out as such and the idea that we as jewish people are uniquely and specifically incapable of complicity in white supremacy even while perpetrating these very specific and exact harms is extremely damaging, and does so much harm to jews of color who are particularly harmed by these actions on the part of other jews, and particularly harmed by the refusal to talk about it without constant equivocation.

ryuutchi

I saw a tweet not too long ago (which I can’t find quickly) that said something like:

“if we define ‘white’ as ‘safe from white supremacist violence’, no Jews are white. If we define white as ‘benefits from anti-black and colorist racism’, then some Jews are white.”

So it’s important for us (general us) to recognize which of those conversations we’re trying to have at any particular point.

reposting bc op has an ugly url w an ableist slur in it but this also goes for terfs

respectthefemalebody

If a man says he’s going to hurt himself unless you do what he says, let him. You aren’t responsible for his actions. You are not guilty for what he does to himself, you don’t owe him, you are not his thing to control, you don’t exist to serve him, you are allowed to go on living your life.

antiporn-activist

well, you could give him the suicide hotline and go.

lightanddarkkh

Also you could baker act him. If he says hes gonna kill himself if you break up with him. Break up with him and call 911 saying you suspect this person at this address is going to kill themselves. Like chances are they are lying and trying to manipulate you but if you are scared and think you might feel guilty, you can do that.

Don’t stay woth anyone that pulls that shit. Drop em.

askagenderfluidandgenderflux

Dropping this here because abuse isn’t limited to straight people.

People who hold themselves hostage do not get to be treated only as the hostage. They are the hostage-taker as well, and they are trying for a second hostage.

Also, the ideal wording for a 911 call after someone has threatened to kill themselves is that the person themselves has announced their intention to kill themselves, or said they were going to kill themselves, something like that. “I suspect that they’re going to kill themself” is subjective and vague; “they have said that they are going to kill themself” is a factual statement that communicates useful information about their stated intentions, and if there’s any suspicion that the person is being dishonest about those intentions as a manipulation tactic, it preserves, documents, and centers their dishonesty and releases you from the responsibility for sorting out the person’s true intentions.

Somebody threatening suicide or self-harm as a means of control is trying really hard to be your problem. Yours specifically. Punting that problem to the emergency services and medical system that is trained and equipped to deal with such problems is not only the proper thing to do, but makes it clear that you aren’t about to be guilted into assuming any responsibility that person wants to dump on you.

jenniferrpovey

As a note, this is not limited to romantic relationships. Suicide threats are very common in toxic friendships.

The response should be the same, but I just wanted to point out it’s not limited to intimate partners.

gritsinmisery

Not just toxic romantic and friendly relationships. Parents, siblings, anybody who pulls this act. Do not be held hostage by blood relationships, either.
