Just Look Up

When you feel like things are difficult and you want to feel smaller than you are.

Students at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School held a sit-in protest Monday.

The group’s action were in response to a racist video that was filmed three years ago. The video shows students of the Fieldston school chanting racist and homophobic slurs.

Those who took part in the protest say they want to shed light that their school hasn’t done enough to show that intolerance and racism of any kind will not be tolerated.

Students say they’re willing to block administrators from their offices to prompt a discussion about the issue.

Students from Horace Mann School in Riverdale also joined the protest.

“The reasons why we made the walk here because we want to show solidarity for the students at Fieldston,” one protester said. “It’s too late for this, we are getting tired of this. Going forward, we are reunited. We won’t tolerate this.”

They are pushing for bias training for faculty and parents, the hiring of more faculty of color and establishing a new system for reporting bias incidents.

A letter from the private school was sent out to parents regarding the sit-in.

At least one parent says he’s proud that students are standing up for what they believe in.

“I applaud them,” he said. “That is a true sign of bravery. At such a young age, taking a stance and standing up for yourself.”

Listen I know I’ve made a thousand posts about this and I’ll make a thousand more but do you remember that time when Avatar: The Last Airbender had an episode where a bunch of earthbenders took over the Northern Air Temple and their leader created a bunch of steampunk inventions allowing them all to fly around:

And the reason he did all of this was so that his son, who was in a wheelchair, could get around just like everyone else:

And all throughout the episode, you saw the son going around in the wheelchair and even though the episode came out in 2005, his disability wasn’t used as inspiration porn or tragedy porn? In fact, though he was a main character in the episode, the plotline didn’t focus on his disability at all and other than the backstory and Sokka commenting on his glider chair, nobody ever brought it up but they still managed to help him when he needed it?

And not only did Tao help fight in this episode but he came back with a completely adapted tank in order to kick ass in the penultimate battle?

Do you remember this?

Because I still remember my eleven-year-old self sitting in my wheelchair, completely and utterly taken aback by this character in a wheelchair who was practically an airbender? My twenty-two-year-old self is still blown away by the episode. I still have the old wheelchair-glider toy.

(And of course, later on, Toph would come along and be an even better example of a disabled character. And years later, Korra would as well.)

Representation is important.

So, I was in the car today and saw someone with the license plate “X0DUS3 5”, so I thought it was like Exodus 3:5 and I looked it up, and do you know what it said?

“Do not come any closer.”

[peredurthefool-deactivated20200]

Now that’s a well done biblical license plate.

My mom sent me a tiny man that I have to bury in the ground. Catholicism is wild

I was walking in the forest during winter, and saw a wendigo sitting under a tree. I asked it if it was going to kill me. It said, “No, this is just a dream.” So I sat next to it in the snow for a bit and then he said, “The anger in your heart warms you now, but will leave you cold in your grave.” And then I woke up.

you know what i want all of us to normalize? trans people changing their name more than once.

you changed your name again because the other one didn’t work for you? that’s cool.

you changed your name again because you found another better one? that’s cool.

you changed your name back because it just felt better? that’s cool!

also normalize not changing your name at all, or having several different names, and just normalize all kinds of relationships with names, because it really does get complicated for some. and that’s cool.
