that james baldwin quote where he says, “it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here.”

Being a girl without close girl friends I spend time with feels like some sort of spiritual jail I’ve been put in for this particular lifetime and it’s such a walk of shame in this day and age like I can’t count how many reels or tiktoks I see of girls saying stuff like “girls who don’t have girl friends??? RED FLAG!!!” Or like jokes about when you befriend the girl who has no girl friends and then you realize why…yikes! Cause she sucks and is toxic and unlovable! And I’m like ouch, that’s tough to hear. I know those narratives are popular because girl friendships can be painful and I’m sure there’s lot of people out there who have been deeply unkind whether on purpose or not but I guess it pains me to watch people make laughable comments about lonely women. I feel like being a lonely woman is such a derogatory notion already deeply imbedded in society and sexism that I feel like it’s just sort of being reframed in the new age as like “she did that to herself” and that’s never true, we are all the result of the love we get or don’t and it’s definitely our own responsibility how we act and how we heal or don’t - but it feels so judgmental sometimes to further “other” women who don’t have friends

I can’t agree with this enough. I couldn’t find the words for it, even though I’ve been thinking about it for a very long time so thanks 💜

It’s so hard to make girl friends when you don’t have any because this thought runs through my mind 24/7. “They’re gonna figure out what’s wrong with me.” It’s so hard, and it just makes me want to stay in my shell and never break out because who would want to be friends with the girl who has no girlfriends?

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he’s about to do is extreme–he says so. he speaks calmly, but he’s clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says “free palestine” normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

What do you MEAN you’re going to remove one of the most important aspects of Sokka’s character arc in the first season? What do you MEAN you’re going to remove Sokka unlearning misogyny, accepting change and embracing his role as a fighter and protector of the Avatar in order to end the war? What do you MEAN???
