Saut Dans Le Vide

I'm Sasha and I reblog shit. I'm on mobile 100% of the time so if you're on my page my b because I don't remember what it looks like and I don't give a hoot anymore.

Man do you ever think about how many places Zuko has broken into? Like

The Western Air Temple (twice), which was canonically built so that it could only be reached with airbending

(It’s also implied he broke into the other three too)

The Northern Water Tribe, whose defenses hadn’t been breeched in 100 years and was also currently under siege

Pohuai stronghold, which was on high red alert after capturing the fucking Avatar

Avatar Roku’s temple, mostly notable because he broke through a naval blockade to get there (dude wtf)

Lake Laogi, the secret underground headquarters of Ba Sing Se’s evil secret police that is also crawling with Earth benders

(Ba Sing Se at large doesn’t count since they forged their papers)

The Fire Nation capital’s prison, where the main threat to the Fire Lord’s rule (Iroh) was imprisoned for months

His own family’s vacation home (this isn’t an achievement I just thought it was funny)

A thousand+ year old sacred site dedicated the first firebenders that was also full of booby traps, Indiana Jones style, because why not

The Boiling Rock, the highest security prison in the Fire Nation

The headquarters of the Southern Raiders, an elite naval force on an island in the middle of nowhere

The Fire Nation’s royal palace, which was admittedly mostly empty at the time but still had Azula in it

His own family’s vacation home (again) after getting banished (again)

[tanoraqui]

he’s…a rogue. How did I not realize that he’s a rogue. Who happens to firebend.

[cooltastrophe]

One of my favorite things about zuko is he thinks of himself as a failure for not being a firebending prodigy, but is actually INCREDIBLY competent (even prodigious!) At almost everything else

[hydro-homies]

A true hydrohomie

[spideymoth]

Oh my god I was literally there for this

[eyes-alight]

Seriously though as a teacher this is like the worst thing you can do. The teacher’s trying something different to add variety and to engage everyone without putting people on the spot and this absolutely ruins it

[spideymoth]

I absolutely understand your concern, but I promise that this was purely a positive experience for the class. We did word clouds like this daily for the entire quarter, and this was the only time anyone tried to spam it. As for being engaging, the entire auditorium started to laugh, even students who were half asleep, and the professor herself. As a one-off event, this was far from a bad experience for the teacher or class!

[moved-to-ofswordsandpens]

me at 13: My family and friends can never know the extreme fixations I have. I enjoy this thing the casual amount. No more, no less.

Me at 20: … And thats why Zuko and Katara should have ended up with each other. They perfectly reflected the shows themes of Yin and Yang. Foils yet parallels: Fire and Water. Sun and Moon. Opposite sibling dynamics. Respective royalty of their homelands. Complex relationships regarding their absent mothers. Taking on parental roles in the gaang. They were literally paired together for the final battle of the show because they were complimentary equals. It could have been the perfect execution of the enemies to friends to lovers trope. I mean how do you even ignore the blatant symbolism in the color coding of - Mom? Mom, are you listening to me? They were supposed-

[morumbojumbo]

One of the best thing about being a mom is being on the other end of these conversations. Sometimes I have no clue what my child is going on about but I nod along and try to keep up. Not because it is important, but because it is important to them.

“oh you wouldn’t identify as transgender if you hadn’t been exposed to other trans people and learned what being transgender was” you’re right! i’d identify as suicidal

[unknought]

social contagion is good actually

[tanadrin]

“better for people to be miserable in the right way than happy in the wrong way” is the inescapable conclusion of a lot of social conservatism

I hate that so many places will automatically convert :P into

open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end

[hellfresh]

The idea that was sold to us of "love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner" is false. Love is awkward as hell. It's A LOT of straight up talking and realization of your self - your own needs. It's important to make those needs heard. Do not deny yourself full love

[sylviaplathstypewriter-deactiva]

that idea robs us of so much intimacy, the intimacy that comes with honesty and vulnerability and being known.

[twonshawn]

yep

[napoleoninrags]

Not understanding why this is such a tough sell.

[positivepatton]

All food is guilt-free. There’s nothing shameful about feeding yourself, ever.

[positivepatton]

Hey not to be dramatic but if you’re here to push a vegan/healthy living/weight loss agenda, please fuck off. This post is largely for people with eating disorders and generally disordered eating habits, so I’m pretty sure that if you have an ounce of sympathy or even just logic in your body, you’ll realize that those people really should not be ashamed of anything they eat no matter what.

Really, no one should, and I mean that. It’s bad enough to take a mental health post to push and agenda. Eating. Is. Normal. Eating meat is normal. Eating fat is normal. Eating sweets is normal. Eating is normal and I think that we can all agree that if anyone thinks that Eating Is Bad, they shouldn’t think that.

Her name is Letitia Chai, she is Korean, and her presentation was “Acting in Public: Performance in Everyday Life”.

Her demonstration drew two dozen supporters. She was wearing a modest shirt and some cut-off shorts (which we can’t see in the images here because they’re mostly hidden by her laptop, exacerbating the need for retort against her professor’s disagreement with them). When her professor also asked what Chai’s mother would think of her attire, she informed him that she’s a gender and sexuality professor.

Letitia Chai: Chaotic good

This is from the anticommunist “museum of communism” in prague - the fucking horror, socialist society made… HOMES FOR PEOPLE. Just… just abominable.

[notallmensheviks]

hm gee i wonder what could have happened in eastern europe to require large amounts of housing stock to be built as quickly and as cheaply as possible… maybe some kind of event that destroyed huge quantities of housing while consuming millions of lives and billions of man-hours…. hmm………

I hope all of you thinspo blogs re-blogging this post know that it was made by a fat person and indicative of the fact that an ideal body can have nothing to do with size and everything to do with how kindly and luxuriously you treat it.

We gotta talk about this guy:

Now, your gut reaction that that’s the most ridiculous-ass exaggeration you’ve ever heard is, as they say, not wrong.  Yes, make fun of this fool and the platoon-sized element of pigs that apparently stalks him while he sleeps or something, by all means.

But a big trend I’ve noticed is that the people turning this into the hot new meme are acting as if hogs … aren’t? … a serious problem?  Which as both a country kid and an environmentalist, I find … concerning.

I really feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but “Ha-ha, problems I can’t see aren’t real and an ongoing ecological disaster that’s been tearing North American ecosystems to shreds for the past 500 years is f u n n y” is a pretty bad take?

[elisamaza]

i think the way he phrased it made it seem like he was pulling that story out of his ass and that is why it was made into a meme. but by all means if it is an actual problem then i’m pretty concerned as to why that’s a problem that the homeowner has to solve themselves.

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

Oh yeah!  [rubs hands together] Story time.

So:  Pigs are not native to the Americas, but were brought over from Europe during the initial period of colonization, as livestock.  Many of these pigs escaped, and found an environment wherein the native predators weren’t really prepared to deal with them, and went hog wild (as is, I’m sure you can imagine, their wont). 

All individuals of the porcine race, even domestic pigs, are frighteningly intelligent social animals who are voracious omnivores and perpetually horny, and it doesn’t take very long at all for an emancipated pig to remember its roots and go feral, so wild hogs will absolutely dominate any ecosystem they come into and out-forage, out-fight, and outbreed the native fauna while shredding the native flora.  In addition to being uncannily intelligent, they’re also super territorial and they can and will gang up on you and wreck your shit if they percieve you as being on “their” turf.  Children, pets, livestock, etc. all live in terror of The Porcine Menace.

And the reason why it’s something that homeowners have to be concerned about how to deal with on their own is because of just how e n o r m o u s the problem is.  As of last February according to the USDA’s census, the distribution of breeding populations of invasive feral hogs in the US looks like this:

[rose-a-red]

You know what we need? Rich people need to take up boar hunting on horseback again.

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

I support this if, and only if, said rich people are also required to use only boar spears.  Two birds, one stone.

[projectxa3]

I feel like tha twould only be one bird though. Maybe upgrade the rich fuckers to muskets?

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

No, I like it when rich fuckers get gored to death in large numbers.

White landowners being ravaged and devoured by an invasive species brought to America by colonialism seems … poetic.  It agrees with my sensibilities.

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

While I certainly do hate hogs with every fiber of my Mountain-Dew-and-cornbread-fueled being, the bourgeoisie are objectively the bigger ecological disaster.  If this actually happened, critical support for Comrade Hog.

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

I’m not going in there. You can’t make me.
