Ok can we talk about how toph held up a huge ass building? I feel like this is never addressed.

The Gaang is in the sand, which is already hard for Toph to see/feel, and then she holds up this giant library?? While trying to protect Appa.

Also, can we talk about how its not one mass of rock-it's made of bricks, and being held together by gravity. She really said "Every one of you blocks, pillars, tiles, boards, and the rest of you are going to stay in your exact spots and not sink to the spirit world BECAUSE I SAID SO!" while she was fighting super mystical spirit magic. While fighting and actual spirits power. For who knows how long, because Sokka and Aang had time to check every date till Sozins comet would hit at least a few months away.

Can we also talk about how Toph was so upset and ashamed about loosing Appa due to sand bending skill that she practiced hard to perfect it.

Too tired to draw but I still need everyone to be aware of this bizarre interaction I had at work this morning

Worth mentioning is that I'm in Iceland and the store I work at only accepts icelandic króna so like even euros wouldn't have worked in this case

On the one hand I refuse to defend Americans and this behavior is kind of embarrassing but on the other hand dumbasses enraging Europeans by not caring even a little bit about their funny little currencies is absolutely hilarious so I’m conflicted here

I can't do this anymore I am seriously at my limit here

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.

okay so this has definitely breached containment and I want to point something out:

  • Yes slips are a thing but that's beyond the point. It's not just about skirts, it's the fact that garments have lost any quality they used to have and it's only getting worse.
  • Also, telling people to just buy a slip??? We don't tell women to buy a purse if she don't have pockets on her jeans?? Slips are an additional cost we should not be shouldering. They are often expensive, not size inclusive and unlike a lining that's made SPECIFICALLY for the skirt it's sewn onto, a slip might be too long or too short or just not look right.
  • as someone pointed out in the tags even coats and other garments have started to be sewn without lining and the purpose of lining is more than to hide your underwear.
  • The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.
  • I own a wool coat from an Austrian company that no longer exists (thanks thrifting), and it is in impeccable state. It has no tears, not one pulled thread and the shape still holds despite it being probably around 80 years old. Meanwhile another coat I had bought recently at a store already has a gaping hole where the stitches started unraveling. this ISN'T NORMAL!
  • Our clothes should last us, we should stop being ok with the absolute fuckery that is fast fashion and demand garments that will not break apart after two months.

Had a random thought that may or may not be influenced by my being in church today

We've seen 'accidental cult' au's for Danny. But have we seen any accidental religion creator danny? Where he becomes a preacher/priest/pastor/rabbi/guru/what-have-you/whatever-you-want-to-call-his-position?

One where he (either as fenton or phantom) begins by answering questions about the afterlife semi absentmindedly (lectures and explanations from various leaders in the realms running on repeat in his mind), so tired he doesn't notice when he starts explaining what he had been taught.

It started with him overhearing a question/conversation in school. Something small. He answered it and moved on. Forgot about it. But it keeps happening. Until people start coming to him with questions regarding the afterlife (realms) on a semi regular basis and he does his best to explain (if they understand maybe they won't be so eager to hate ghosts? Maybe they'll be able to foster understanding? Maybe he won't be so tired).

While he starts answering one person's questions others gather and hang around. Listen. And start asking their own questions. Soon, its simpler to just arrange a dedicated time and place to meet and discuss.

It starts as a simple Q&A. And over time grows and becomes more elaborate until its an official thing. He finds people who had been listening to him answering questions when they come across them (in person, online, etc). That some had taken videos and written transcripts. That those are being passed around. It grows beyond his hometown.

And Danny? Is really not sure what to make of this. (I wanna vote he doesn't become aware its a whole thing that he's been accidentally grown and run until someone who is notably *not* from Amity park calls him [insert religious leader title here]. Cue freaking out to Sam and Tucker (maybe jazz and/or Valerie too) who have been helping to run and organize this whole thing being like 'did you just realize this *now*??'

Oh that's a thing that DEFINITELY would happen at college? And it would start with "no, look, my family studied this" and said with such tired absolute certainty that clearly HE believes it? And? Psssh, okay buddy.

But like... it was kinda cool. Hey, hey, ask him something else!

And? The dude just? Keeps having answers. Internally consistent ones too. No one can trip him up. He can get REALLY into detail. People start thinking about it. Writing it down to try to pick holes in it or just to read later. And like... okay, screw it, they're kinda curious about this one thing, right?

And then how dies THEIR religion fit into it? Lemme guess, one true God rig-... wait it fits? His too? Hers? In this great big patchwork of beauty and faith and life after death?

.....and this dude doesn't SEEM like he's selling anything. WE keep harrasing HIM. Huh.

.............hey, for a pizza, what's the manifestation of Time like? Do animals even HAVE souls? Did dinosaurs? How does Reincarnation work into all this?

And? It's like finding a prophet in the cereal isle. A messiah eating cold pizza in the square. Someone with such wisdom and power, that has made themselves look like YOU. Lives like YOU. Not draped in gold and finery, in wealthy halls high above. But in ratty jeans and a shirt that's washed half to death, tired but kind. Patient.

Who considers your questions. Does not hoard away his secret knowledge, to leave humanity struggling in the dark. But sits, waiting for you to just... to just ASK. As though all this time, all we had to do... was ASK.

He wears a NASA shirt. Studies the stars.

"Aren't they beautiful?" he says. "Isn't it amazing?" His grin suggests.

And when does amusement turn to curiosity? Turn to fascination? To belief? To FAITH? It's all so gradual. Like the change of a tide. Like falling in love. No one is quite certain how they found themselves there, but... but it makes SENSE. Like they have found a truth and discovered a secret.

They just want to share it. He's not making them. Not even ASKING them too! Not so much as hinting! But wouldn't YOU want to tell people? If you finally figured it all out? If you were happy and made friends and everything suddenly made SENSE?

Danny is gonna freak out. He Accidentally A Cult ™ and it's everywhere. He was just minding his business man. Being bribed with food and maybe making some friends. The Fenton Oblivious Gene's were working STRONG with this one!

!!!! Like this!!!!!

So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.

Where do they think the sex is happening?? Every single aisle is lit in that horrible LED lighting. The teens don't even make out here anymore.

As a state certified librarian I can assure you that you just have to go into your local library and ask if they're participating in the new Fox News Hysteria program smh. If they're not, you'll just have to renew your library card and use the fun and valuable resources they're offering right now, such as wifi hotspots, museum passes, dvd lending, mid level adult erotica, ebook lending, and printing! 😔

Oh god, the printing...

This sudden hate of libraries is partially because people who do not have homes spend lots of time there. It is a safe place where they can sit down for awhile without having to buy something, or worry that the police are going to yell at them (or worse).

Another reason they hate libraries is because they think all librarians do during the work day is lie in wait so that they can foist immoral books into the hands of innocent children.

Oh, and lets not forget - libraries are where Drag Queen story time started.

These attempts to direct a moral panic at one of our most treasured and important national institutions (the library system ) can seem ridiculous on the surface, but if you look just little bit deeper it stops being funny and becomes genuinely frightening.

Getting really sick of all the "There's No Place Like Chrome" ads on youtube. There's Firefox. Firefox saves your passwords. Firefox autofills things if you want. Firefox also does things that Chrome doesn't like allow adblockers, and it does not mine your data and sell your information for advertising purposes. Google is really trying to push people to use Chrome so they can take as much data from users as possible in order to make as much money as possible and it's borderline sinister.

Anyway, download Firefox.

The irony of this is because of the ad blockers on my Firefox, I've never seen any such ad.

at dinner people were talking about how much they cried during their weddings and my one cousin said she was SO determined not to cry, made it through the entire ceremony, but then during the reception her husband leaned over and asked 'hey, do you want me to get together a plate of roast beef and hide it in our room so we can have Night Meats?' and she went 'night meats?' and started sobbing because that was so romantic to her
