You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
Aang understood something that most of us learn much later "when everyone stuck to their own, the whole world was nearly torn apart"
after losing almost everything Aang could have easily chosen isolation, instead he found people from different nations, different backgrounds and even someone who was once his enemy
sometimes the people who become your family are not the ones who started life beside you.…
they are the ones you meet along the way who choose to stay, grow with you and remind you that you don't have to face everything alone
Aang... wanted to live in a world where everyone could be together. maybe that's the kind of world we should all be trying to build too.
Here’s the problem. When you put another country above the USA, when you are in the US government, no matter what you say, you aren’t working for the American people. Go be a lobbyist. Register as a lobbyist for a foreign government and make your living that way, but don’t take a paycheck from the US taxpayer. Get out of representing the people of the USA.
@ks_moody@SketchesbyBoze That seems like not a lot for an entire semester of an AP class. My sister was tackling Shakespeare in AP English in her Freshman year.
saying it's ableist to be anti ai like Beethoven wasn't deaf, Stevie Wonder isn't blind, & Frida Kahlo didn't start painting bcuz of being bed bound for 3 months + used a brace for her spine after that. disabled artists have always been here & your chatgpt ass can't compete
Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.
Sure Aang is a powerful avatar and leader but can he handle an animation supervisor role?? 🤔
A fun lil animation I did a while back as my time on the movie was wrapping up.
An IP that originated on Nickelodeon legit tackles some of the most heinous shit imaginable, like the genocide of an entire people…
And they do it on a show made for kids WITHOUT dumbing it down. They give it the full weight it deserves. Nice to see the movie continue that, with Aang still carrying the guilt all these years later.
Avatar is one of the greatest IPs ever.
Andrew Garfield sat on a stoop with Elmo and explained grief better than anyone had ever explained it
Elmo: “Elmo’s going around sesame checking in on everybody so Elmo wants to know how Andrew’s doing?”
“I’m thinking about my mum today she passed away not too long ago and you know I just miss her miss her a lot”
“You don’t have to say sorry it’s actually kind of okay to miss somebody that sadness is kind of a gift it’s kind of a lovely thing to feel In a way because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them”
“When I miss my mum I remember all the cuddles I used to get from her all the hugs it makes me feel close to her when I miss her in a strange sort of way’
@ax_mech@CriticalRole@executivegoth If the show was structured to have Cad there I'm sure Matt will Jaeger him and he will be even quieter than usual.x
