it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

The pathologization of anger needs to be talked about. What do you mean my therapist is telling me that there’s something “chemically wrong” with me because I am still angry about my mom DYING OF COVID.

of course I’m still angry? My mom and 1.3 million other Americans are dead and you want me to shoot sunshine out of my ass about it?

“But It’s been 3 years since she died, you have complex grief” yeah and she was on a ventilator for 11 days and she kept writing “I am scared” and “I don’t want to die” on a notepad over and over again. While you were still going out unmasked and unvaccinated and coughing all over each other, I was living a nightmare I couldn’t fucking wake up from. And every single day I’m reminded of it in the form of “haha wasn’t the pandemic such a wacky time haha” and “I’m not getting a booster you can’t make me 🤪 (nobody asked)” and “it’s not real they made the numbers up!!!”

“You’re not coping” Ok here’s the deal; I’ll stop feeling this anger when we have a national memorial (we don’t) or a cdc equipped to stop it from happening again (we don’t) or a population that takes a deadly disease seriously BEFORE it effects them personally (WE DON’T!)

until then, I’m pretty sure my anger is A COMPLETELY NORMAL HUMAN REACTION given the facts at hand

The discourse around the Roku Novel has been so amusing to me for the past few days that I just had to make my own post about this lmao. Ok so for all of the morons in this fandumb who are hating on Gyatso for what he said to Roku (despite the fact that he was entirely within his rights to do so. There is nothing better than to have someone being blunt with you about something when you absolutely need that reality check) and saying "why are they trying to make the Fire Nation look worse?! This is terrible writing" I just have one thing to say: THAT'S THE ENTIRE DAMN POINT🤣. Of course we're going to be shown the Fire Nation being shitty and whatnot, this is before the freaking 100 year war started! You really think that the Fire Nation was all sun shine and rainbows before Sozin's reign? Looks like Roku wasn't the only one who needed that reality check from Gyatso. If the Fire Nation was this place where nothing fucked up was happening and everything was perfect, it would have never given rise to a man like Sozin, and he never would have done what he did. The novel is pretty much giving us a glimpse of what the Fire Nation was like during Roku's time, and how it ultimately resulted in the war. I don't know how or why that's so hard for some people to understand.

Also, the Fire Nation committed a genocide. Pretty sure you can't get any worse than that lol.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

you know what, i'm all for people criticizing kyoshi's fanon characterization as a cold-blooded murderer. but i'm actually not that angry at the roku novel's revelation that she emulated jianzhu, because they kind of warned us early on that that was what would happen eventually

the kyoshi novels do establish that to some extent, kyoshi did see jianzhu as a mentor figure. whether one agreed with his methods or not, he did give the earth kingdom a sense of stability with his political maneuvers, that's why everything went south so quickly when he died. even then we saw kyoshi using techniques she learnt from his diaries and recognized the patterns she was replicating, which she was ashamed of, but saw necessary

she was a TEENAGER when she was struggling with her own cruelty for the sake of duty. she was always conflicted about it, but she knew it was the only way for her. I'm not surprised the issue evolved in a worse way when she became an adult

You do have to realize that the way the roku novel treated it and the way the NATLA adaptation did it is VERY different. Canonically, it's always been implied she despises having to be the way she is. Netflix made it seem like she enjoyed it

AAAaand it's not odd AT ALL that a person with the power of the Avatar goes through a despair event horizon. It happened to Yangchen. It happened to Kuruk. It happened to Aang, and to Korra. It'll most likely happen to Roku in the novels. These guys deal with a TON of shit, like, really gruesome shit, on a daily basis. If anything, I think Kyoshi going a bit nuts is quite in-character, considering in the novels she almost went batshit like 3 times at only sixteen. The issue is how this mental breakdown is treated. And if they tell me kyoshi eventually grew up to execute a lot of people to an unnecessary extent, hey, I actually do believe it. But I do not think for a minute that she's proud of it

i read an anecdote ages and ages ago from a gay person who grew up with gay parents, and struggled to find any kind of belonging in the gay community because everyone else there was bonding over having homophobic parents. everyone else was defining themselves by their suffering and oppression rather than by their sexuality, leaving this gay person to feel like they weren't really gay because they didn't have the right experiences. they wondered whether more gay people would feel this way as more children grew up with gay parents, if the gay community would leave them behind for not having suffered enough. i think about that anecdote a lot.

a lot of the current rhetoric around gender reminds me of that anecdote. a lot of people are willing to go "transgender people are oppressed for their gender presentation, therefore if you're not oppressed for your gender presentation, you're not trans." but i don't think we should be defining ourselves by our suffering and oppression. what will we do, in a few years, in a few decades, as there start to be, say, adults who were supported in their transition as children? what will we do when a stereotypical trans person can genuinely say they didn't suffer hardship for being trans?

i'm afraid i know the answer. i'm afraid that people are going to close ranks as they've already started closing ranks against intersex people, against nonbinary people, against double binary people, against closeted people. as some people have started closing ranks against people who transitioned in the opposite direction from them. as many people have closed ranks against people with edge case gender experiences. "i don't consider you to be oppressed, therefore you are not welcome to share in this community you might otherwise belong in."

i wish people would understand that we shouldn't do this. i wish people would understand that we benefit from a broader, more inclusive community more than we benefit from whatever purity testing oppression olympics it is that i keep running into.

a lot of people did not graduate from the very basic lesson of "What is a social construct"

Look. You're not obligated to understand the world around you. But if you don't, you will constantly stumble through the world, bewildered and confused.
