As a member of Gen Z, I'm accustomed to receiving blame for advancing the world's identity crisis regarding race, gender, sexuality, politics—you name it.
Join me as I delve into concepts of identity, self-worth and acceptance. https://t.co/NOaczC7m1Z
I invite this gov to collate and publish on an official government website, a list, (with address & pictures), of all the free & accessible beaches in the country so this topic can be put to rest.
You guys find every reason to give Amber a contract, so here is another one.
El-Sayed on Trump posting an image of him and his wife in a restaurant with the caption "two VERY DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other but joined in the interest in making billions of dollars off of you, or two people who genuinely love each other enjoying some pancakes together ... "
This collage wrecks me every time🥺
Season 1 Korra is all fire and unshakable certainty blue eyes wide open, like the world still belongs to her. Then the seasons start taking pieces. Amon doesn’t just steal her bending; he cracks the foundation of who she is. Unalaq severs her from every Avatar who came before. And Zaheer… the mercury, the paralysis, the months of waking up and realizing her body no longer answers to her the way it used to. You can literally watch the light dim.
By Book 4 she’s quieter, heavier, carrying every scar in the set of her jaw and the way her eyes don’t quite trust the world anymore. That isn’t “losing innocence.” That’s what it looks like when someone survives things that should have broken them permanently and still chooses to keep standing.
Korra didn’t get the clean hero’s arc. She got the version where healing is messy, progress isn’t linear, and the strongest version of yourself is the one that learned how to live with the damage. That’s why this hits so deep for so many of us.
I’ll criticize Aang for that too. He ignored Katara and Sokka the people who had consistently earned his trust and nearly got everyone killed because he chose to believe Tagaka instead. It was a serious lapse in judgment.
But that’s exactly why I don’t understand why Korra gets so much less grace. She trusted her own uncle, a respected Northern chief, someone her father and Tenzin hadn’t fully explained or warned her about. She was manipulated by family, just like countless characters in Avatar have been manipulated by people they trusted.
Aang gets, “He was young, he made a mistake.” Korra gets, “She’s incompetent.”
Why is one allowed to grow from their failures while the other is expected to be perfect from day one? If we can forgive Aang’s worst decisions because they’re part of his character arc, why do so many fans refuse to extend that same empathy to Korra? That’s the double standard I still don’t understand
Dislike for Korra is (in my view) 𝚕̶𝚊̶𝚣̶𝚢̶ a complete failure to critically engage with the series, leading to a conclusion that is diametrically opposed to what the showrunners (clearly) intended
103 million views on Instagram,
84 million here, 28.2 million on TikTok. Mamdani’s most popular video. Our political leaders simply do not understand how out of sync they are with the public on this issue, and how desperate people are for someone with a moral backbone.
You know people don’t like to admit this but older cartoons they grew up with were woke and discussed social issues like this and were very on the nose about it
I told my mom I wasn't attracted to a guy who liked me and she told me to give him a chance. I said guys don't give girls they're not attracted to a chance so why should I do it? Silence at the dinner table
