#very weird.

[sleepnoises]

my ebook app updated my edition of infinite jest and now it has a new introduction? but the new introduction includes the same thing i remembered about the old introduction, which is chatter about the physical toil of flipping to the end notes, which remains so silly to me, who has only ever read the ebook edition where they are hyperlinked

i was being advertised a tiny e-ink no-touchscreen ereader today and it occurs to me it would probably choke badly in this situation (endnotes) (not secret update)

sorry but the way some people in the fandom are genuinely upset or angry that taylor picked a beach theme for 1989tv has got to be one of the dumbest things i've ever seen here 😭

I’m still pissed that the only time the narrative ever lets Zuko comment on Air Nomad culture are:

1. Commenting that Aang “wouldn’t know much of fathers, since he was raised as monks” in Book 1, episode 2.

2. Mocking the focus that Air Nomad culture has on forgiveness in “The Southern Raiders.”

And the narrative never depicts his reaction to the Air Nomad Genocide, even though he visited the four Air Temples before the series started, even though he reads Sozin’s account of the genocide in “The Avatar and the Firelord,” even though he joins the Gaang at the freaking Western Air Temple and spends several episodes living there.

To be clear, this isn’t a character problem, this is a writing problem.  The writers did not consider having Zuko react to the Genocide be something worth including, even though the Air Nomad Genocide was essentially the “original sin” of the Fire Nation.

That weird, indescribable, random feeling of sadness that comes at night 🗿😒

It's RTX again, which mean I am obligated to tell everyone again that when I went to RTX Austin 2019, out of hundreds of people, I ran into my 10th grade math teacher.

I thought she was a guardian because she was wearing a purple shirt and I needed help bUT NO IT WAS MRS. CLARK

löw apparently also said jamal isn't as good as everyone thinks he is and needs to grow into the team more. I on the other hand want to punch a löw

i don't really pay attention to what löw says... is he typically this blunt?
