folks, I’m just gonna say it. I don’t think it rains for long enough periods of time. it rains hard, it sounds good, I’m comfortable inside, but within 5 minutes the jig is up. the dream is over. I think it should rain for longer periods of time than it presently does
a frog made this post
the frog is right
From Girl Scout’s social media. The original Twitter thread is here.
AITA for ghosting my gf after she helped me steal this totally rad golden fleece at the behest of the gods? She did have to kill her own brother and was exiled from her homeland, but in my defence, my new wife is a princess. I think I was therefore completely justified in marrying a hot royal and blocking my gf on all social media and leaving her to raise our children alone, but I’ve heard it on the grapevine that she still has the favour of the gods, so I’m putting it to the hive mind: was I TA here?
Medea dismembered her younger brother in order to use his body parts as a distraction for her father, who was chasing the Argo. Jason did not ask her to do this. Context kind of matters there.
EDIT: since some people in the comments have asked me for more info before they judge me TA or not, I feel like I should point out that I never directly asked my gf to chop her brother into teeny tiny bits and scatter him onto some islands so that her dad wouldn’t catch up to our boat, BUT my gf did fall in love with me at the behest of the gods (one of the gods responsible had a bit of a falling out with her family a while ago, if that’s relevant at all) and so her actions were not entirely at her own behest either, owing to a complex view of fate, agency and morality which is probably above Reddit’s paygrade.
I’m not disagreeing with your judgement (don’t delete, mods) but just curious, did you not see the part where I made it clear that my new wife is a princess? Like, actual royalty? Surely that makes me not TA.

idk who needs to hear this but when your english teacher asks you to explain why an author chose to use a specific metaphor or literary device, it’s not because you won’t be able to function in real-world society without the essential knowledge of gatsby’s green light or whatever, it’s because that process develops your abilities to parse a text for meaning and fill in gaps in information by yourself, and if you’re wondering what happens when you DON’T develop an adult level of reading comprehension, look no further than the dizzying array of examples right here on tumblr dot com
“ur so quiet” thanks i do not want to talk to you
i remember being like 13/14 and starting to get REALLY pissed about capitalism and social inequality and corruption and all that stuff and the adults would be like “how sweet :) your rebellious phase :) you’ll get over it once you grow up and see how the REAL WORLD works :)” and guess what i did not get over it that WAS the real world and part of growing up is deciding if you’re going to give in and submit to it like all those adults around me did or if you’re going to stay fucking pissed
I saw someone write recently (paraphrased), “They said ‘you’ll get more conservative as you get older’ and what they didn’t realize they meant was ‘you’ll get greedier and more paranoid as you get richer’ [which is true, there are psych studies] and what they didn’t count on is that no one gets rich any more”
“We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.”

do you think there’s ever been a point in the avatar cycle where everyone was just waiting for them to pop up in one of the water tribes, but instead they reincarnated into one of those waterbending swamp hicks in the earth kingdom? because I really like the idea of a swamp avatar with a little leaf hat and a southern drawl.
so apparently with the tribes that have, like, discrete sites of power, the Avatar would rotate where they were born. Which for Air meant it would go something like Northern->Western->Southern->Eastern, and for the water tribe meant it would alternate between North and South, which is part of why the Southern Tribe had been so depleted; Sozin knew that was where the next Avatar would be born.
but. The swamp is ABSURDLY connected to the spirit world, and definitely should have gone into the rotation, and I’m just. Just imagining. An AU where Aang didn’t make it and Sozin just assumed the Southern tribe was next and anyway twenty years later this goddamn fully realized hick from the sticks Avatar emerges from the swamp and puts the hurting on the fire nation.
Instead of a polar bear dog or whatever, their animal companion is an alligator.
I see your ‘Aang didn’t make it’ au and raise you

I love this show and I love that it’s back on Netflix
Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down
You go down the stairwell/fire escape. Is that weird?
But what if you have a walker or a wheelchair??
in america at least, in this situation, there isnt one. either your loved ones or the firemen can get you out using the emergency fire escapes or stairs, or you die
That's fucking horrific, thank you
“fun” little story:
last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and she’s in a wheelchair and i’m pushing her around the room. it’s an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so it’s all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off
a FIRE ALARM
everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face
“i can’t go down the stairs”
but i’m a stubborn bitch “i’ll carry you”
“what about my chair? it’s too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i can’t get this one back”
“i’ll carry that too”
and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a fireman’s carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors
basically there is no real protocol for people who can’t use the stairs in an emergency. it’s up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted
thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i don’t know what would have happened to her, but i don’t think it would have been very good.
it’s fucking ridiculous and ableist to the absolute max.
