i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

Thanks for this addition omfg that is hilarious
not providing the scene in question is a crime
it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kidsâ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like âenjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best itâs gonna getâ. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? iâm tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 sheâll be so depressed sheâs just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids donât need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, itâs a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future thatâs worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and iâm about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. iâm sorry you hate your life but you donât get to dump your issues on these kids. donât piss me off and leave these babies alone!

the word empathy is WIDELY misused, even in mental health spaces.Â
empathy:
is responding to a personâs emotions by experiencing the same emotion as them (i.e. feeling sad when something sad happens to that person, or happy when something happy happens to that person.)
is an automatic response that cannot be controlled
cannot be learned
sympathy:
is recognizing that another person is in pain, even if you do not experience that pain, and offering comfort to that person
is something a person must actively choose to do
can be learned
compassion:
is showcasing care and support via words and actions
is something a person must actively choose to do
can be learned
if you need an example of a person with no empathy who practices sympathy and compassion, look no further than data from star trek: the next generation. he doesnât have emotions at all, but heâs still kind to people and wants to help them.
stop telling people that theyâre evil because they donât experience empathy. stop equating empathy with morality. stop equating empathy with caring. stop saying that cruel people âlack empathy.â stop throwing neurodivergent and mentally ill people under the bus.Â

i heard some people donât know about the Taang/Kummi theory
So this was originally supposed to be a response to an ask I had gotten about this ATLA theory, but because Read More links on Tumblr asks seem to break once you edit them, Iâm reposting so that people can actually see the post lolÂ
For anyone who wasnât a part of the Toph x Aang LiveJournal fandom in the early 2000s, buckle up, because this bugged me out as a 13 year old.Â
Remember the end of âThe Swampâ (Book 2, Episode 4)? We find out the swamp isnât haunted, Huu was just protecting it the whole time, and then he explains to Katara, Sokka, and Aang why the swamp is so mystical and sacred.
The swamp is just one big banyan grove tree thatâs grown out over miles and miles. All the branches and trees they see are connected because theyâre one big breathing organism. And that extends to life as well. Weâre all living beings. We all share the same roots. We all are from the same tree, even if we donât act like it. Everything is connected! Cool stuff.
But when Katara asks what her seeing her mother and what Sokka seeing Yue meant, Huu explains that âin the swamp, we see visions of people we lost, people weâve loved, folks we think are gone, but the swamp tells us theyâre not. Weâre still connected to them. Time is an illusion, and so is death.â So Katara never really lost her mother and Sokka never really lost Yue because the connections we make in life transcend death and time. Theyâre not gone. Theyâre still a part of us. The swamp reminds us of this.
Now, to keep in theme with this, we probably wouldâve expected Aang to also see visions of people heâs lost and loved before (Gyatso, the other Airbenders, his culture, etc.)
But for some reason, Aang seesâŚToph. Someone he doesnât know.
Huu doesnât really give Aang an explanation for this, he sort of just lets Aang figure it out for himself. And what weâre left is âokay well if time is an illusion and this isnât someone Iâve made a connection with yet, itâs someone I will make a connection with.â Weâre made to accept that as viewers, but why was Aangâs vision so different? Was it really just to lead him in the direction of his Earthbending Master so that he can continue on with his destiny?
Or was it because, unbeknownst to Aang, Toph actually was someone that he had loved and lost before? Just not in this life. In another life. A past life. When he wasnât Aang, but rather Avatar Kuruk, the Southern Water Tribe Avatar that came before Avatar Kyoshi.
â¨Basically the theory is that Toph is one of the reincarnations of Ummi, the southern water tribe woman that fell in love with Avatar Kuruk and had her face tragically stolen by Koh, the Face Stealer.â¨
Stay with me, because it gets way deeper.
