I saw some weird hate you've been getting (weird bc it genuinely doesn't make sense to me), and I wanted to say that you're awesome and I really enjoy your blog! Sometimes it can be hard to read your posts about racism and inequality but I'm always grateful for them. It helps me recognize my own privilege and some horrible truths I was ignorant of for most of my life. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for your insightful, thought-provoking posts, it's always lovely to see you on my dash. :)

…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

“i will crawl for white beauty.
eat my arms
barter my legs (make my thighs into altars of grief)
for
skin that does not drink night
hair that is not angry
body that is not soil.
i place curses on my flesh
call them diets
tell my ancestors
they are ugly
howl at my nose until it bleeds.
run my heart across my teeth, repeatedly
i am dying
to be beautiful
but
beautiful is something
i will never
be.”

warpfactornope:

one of the things i like best about avatar is how incredibly validating it is like “stuff” isn’t just ever stuff.

when sokka says “i do believe in the power of stuff.” —

it’s a true thing.

and his words are proven true by the narrative as “”stuff”” validates the avatar—

at first when sokka and katara are looking at kyoshi’s things they are just memorabelia, relics — but no, they are still kyoshi’s and they are the avatar’s and they might be her stuff but it isn’t just “”stuff”” and they are relevant and they still have meaning and they still speak truth

and “”stuff”“

validates the rest of Team Avatar as well.

SONJA! I found the perfect TAANG poem!!!

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:28:39 -0400

      "Our two soules therefore, which are one,

	  Though I must goe, endure not yet

	A breach, but an expansion,

	  Like gold to ayery thinnesse beate.



	If they be two, they are two so

	  As stiffe twin compasses are two,

	Thy soule the fixt foot, makes no show

	  To move, but doth, if the'other doe.



	And though it in the center sit,

	  Yet when the other far doth rome,

	It leanes, and hearkens after it,

	  And growes erect, as it comes home.



	Such wilt thou be to mee, who must

	  Like th'other foor, obliquely runne;

	Thy firmnes makes my circle just,

	  And makes me end, where I begunne."

                                                    -John Donne

What’s your fighting name, the fancy dancer?

If you only knew — avatar aang, dance with me aang —

remember when aang’s long term plan world to save the world included throwing an impromptu dance party because i do

and that they learned fire bending not by fighting against each other but by dancing together

“Dance with me.”

“Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. The wounded child in you needs you. Your suffering, your blocks of pain need you. Your deepest desire needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things. Do everything…so you can really be there; so you can love”
