I really enjoy the irony that in the avatar universe typically: firebenders/people from the fire nation seem cold and keep their emotions hidden waterbenders/people from the water tribes are hotheaded and passionate earthbenders/people from the earth kingdom are lighthearted jokesters airbenders/people from the air temples are grounded and level headed
OMG HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT
Jason: Okay but aren’t you a detective? You couldn’t tell it wasn’t a real horse?! Tim: I just really love horses
This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.
I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian.
Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent. But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews!
No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you.
Geography, people. It’s important.
This pops up on my dash every so often. I reblog it again, not just because I wrote it, but because nothing has changed since I first posted this.
What’s cool about Iran is that it falls in 3 different regions of Asia so depending on what part of Iran you’re in, you can kind of get culture shocked a bit. The central and western part of the country is West Asia, the north east is Central Asia, and the southeast is in South Asia.
To the folks wondering about Russia being included, I want to mention that the cultural debates and angst about that has been going on for CENTURIES. While France has been pretty fetishized all the way back from Peter the Great, there is no question that we are not Europe, even with that influence showing really obviously in historical seats of power like St. Petersburg. Nonetheless, the whole country was under control of the Mongols (The Golden Horde) from roughly 1242 to 1480, and that left an enormous Mongolian and Tatar heritage that remains to this day. The ancient Scythians are huge in the cultural imagination as well. And besides… look at the Russians who are outside the standard “Kievan Rus” phenotype (which most folks assume is how all Russians look.)
Here are three of the 30 distinct ethnic groups in Siberia alone:

AS SOMEONE WITH NORTHERN IRANIAN (AZERBAIJANI)/RUSSIAN/ HAZARA-PERSIAN/ UYGHUR-CHINESE ANCESTRY THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL POST
And that’s why sometimes you’ll see a person with curly black hair, pale skin, and hazel-green eyes (my grand-father’s sister) who turn out to be Chinese. Mad recessive genes game at play, I swear. Mongols, they really got around.

Some examples of Batwoman grinning or smiling either while kicking ass or just about to. She does it so often that I believe Kate genuinely loves fighting, at least for the most part. She’s a borderline Blood Knight.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh wow
Kate is 100% not a “Brooding loner”
Unlike Bruce while she went through trauma in her life she’s not let it dominate her life. Kate has fun. Kate has ACTUAL relationships with people and opens herself up to others who she loves. Kate is not some sad broken mess of a human being who is only themselves when they lurk in a cave with only giant dinosaurs and their butler for company
Kate’s superhero origin involved trauma like Bruce’s did but unlike Bruce Kate does not define her whole effing life by it
❌ being shitty to fat ppl because you “care about their health”
👍🏻 recognizing that weight doesn’t necessarily correlate to health - you can be fat & healthy and you can be skinny & unhealthy
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 understanding that ppl deserve to be treated like human beings regardless of their health and other ppl’s health is literally none of your fucking business

Btw in Spanish and in Italian, “amala” means “love her”. And I certainly do.
SPECTRA, an LGBTQIA app is live on Kickstarter!
SPECTRA, an LGBTQIA app is finally live on Kickstarter! But what is SPECTRA, exactly? SPECTRA is an app designed by members of the LGBTQIA community for the LGBTQIA community. At SPECTRA, we believe that our community deserves a Digital Home, a welcoming space to meet our needs in a non-judgmental environment. We exist to make you stronger. We are a network of businesses and people who get it.
So, what’s our mission? We plan to become an online resource center for our community, a space where your voice will not only be heard but where your voice will also help the members of our great family feel safe anywhere in the world. Here’s what we have in mind!
A Complete Resource Center For LGBTQIA People
SPECTRA is a movement emerging from a digital platform built for iOS, Android and the web. It is a network of LGBTQIA people and their allies fighting for a more inclusive future.
Because there are so many in our community that feel insecure and unsafe in unknown spaces. Because we found out that more than 70% of LGBTQIA youth said they felt more comfortable being themselves online than in the real world. Because SPECTRA is an opportunity to use the power we have online to rally our community together and find the safe spaces for us in the real world.
SPECTRA is an excellent opportunity to create an online resource center for the LGBTQIA community, where you will be able to know where to go, where to work and even where to live. SPECTRA has been created by a union of inclusive people, employers, and places. It is a movement towards social equality and will be available on iOS, Android and the web. Because we believe in a future where everyone can feel safe in the world. We invite everyone to get involved, especially allies!
How Will That Work?
We have designed three unique features to help you find the best friendly places to have fun:
Rainbow Ratings
SPECTRA Rewards
Rainbow Maps
The rainbow ratings will work similarly to YELP but for the LGBTQIA community! SPECTRA members will be able to rate businesses on how welcoming they are. These ratings will help other members of our community avoid spaces where they could feel unsafe, and encourage businesses where they are welcomed. The ratings are calculated based on actual interactions through user-generated reviews. SPECTRA is a global app, which makes it easy to find affirming businesses all over the world.
You will be able to avoid places with low inclusion ratings. Plus, in the near future, you will be able to look for window stickers on businesses with a HIGH inclusion rating!
As for the rainbow map, we plan for it to be a resource that makes it easy for you to plan a journey. You will be able to take safe routes around your city and anywhere in the world! Every SPECTRA object is pinned to the map for your convenience. You will also be able to filter businesses by several criteria such as:
Exclusive deals
Health & Wellness
Safe Spaces
Queer Spaces
Gender neutral bathrooms
Hotels & Hostels
Crossdresser Meet-Ups
Virtual businesses
LGBTQIA and POC owned
Clothing Swaps
Private Events
Pride Events
Finally, with SPECTRA rewards, you will be able to earn rewards at inclusive businesses and gain access to exclusive deals that are only available within SPECTRA Rewards! You can earn points as you shop with our partners and inclusive businesses all over the world!
There are so many more things we have in mind for SPECTRA and we need your help to make it happen!
We Are 80% Complete!
Due to some complications and homophobic forces in the world, we had to hide for the longest time that we were building an LGBTQIA portal. This secrecy resulted in extra expenses and longer development. SPECTRA was started in summer of 2017.
We are finally coming out and need your support to complete the development and refine, test and release SPECTRA in BETA.
Our Kickstarter campaign went online on February 19 2019, and our goal pledges is at only 10,000. Thanks to our several backers we are a little over 10% of our goal! We ask for your help to bring our project to fruition and we have planned several tiers and rewards for those who believe in us!
We invite everyone on Tumblr to Signal Boost us and help us reach our goal! Reblog, like, share it with your friends! It might seem like a small gest, but SPECTRA will be a revolution for LGBTQIA inclusion!
Be part of our future today!
