Just whatever random thoughts that I get. A lot of it is media stuff, and there's a little social justice but not near enough for me to feel like I'm doing my part but I'm working on that! Also sometimes I feel depressed so there will be angst-filled posts as well sorry. I tend to go through stages with stuff, obsessing over it and then ignoring it for a while so deal with it. And um thanks for stopping by I guess?

- # stop by the rise and roll bakery and get some powdered donuts
- # and then stop by the cheese factory to pick up munchies
- # because they have like really good dehydrated veggies

- # and it's SO GOOD
- # plus yanno cheese

So guess what I got today instead of the jeans I meant to buy because the Target in my area doesn’t carry the brand I like?
That’s right, it’s The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green! It’s the only one they had in the store that I saw, otherwise I would’ve grabbed Will Grayson, Will Grayson or Looking for Alaska.
Oh wait hold on.
This one’s the really fucking depressing one isn’t it?
I’m going to die of feels aren’t I?
….
Well at least I probs won’t actually start reading it until Monday. Probably. (Or definitely not).
PSA: If you do not want spoilers, I suggest using tumblr savior. I will be tagging EVERY post related to TFIOS with the full title, “spoilers”, and “tfios spoilers”. I will also (try to) post everything under a read more.

people say the age difference between Sokka and Toph is a lot
yeah… 3 or 4 years? Not that much, especially given that the whole world was at war for them and age of adulthood is presumably 16 for most areas…
thatsocialjusticebitch replied to your post: thatsocialjusticebitch liked your post hahaha….
im not EXACTLY sure as to what your post was specifically about, but i related to it pretty hard.
Ah, well…. MAJOR TMI HERE SO FEEL FREE TO SKIP OVER IT IF YOU WANT (hopefully the read more works)
oh hi vaguely-covered-up atheism vs religion parallel
wait where’d Speedy go?
When Bats said “the five of you” I thought it’d be Speedy but nope.

catedrals:
HANG ON JUST A SECOND.
It’s not right to assume that being a size 16 is okay just because it’s the national average*. It’s great to feel comfortable with your body, but it’s wrong to insist that your body is fine when it’s not.
Here’s another national average: 5’4”, the average height for women. At that height, a size 16 is almost definitely unhealthy.
When it comes down to it, what’s important in this whole thing about bodies and self-image and weight is health. Not arbitrary sizes on tags, not societal expectations, not your own self-perception. It’s whether you’re at a healthy weight for your height and build.
Permitting yourself to stay at an unhealthy weight, or failing to exercise, or not eating properly just because you think you’re okay because you’re “average”—that’s as bad for you physically as endlessly longing to be a size 2 is psychologically. Both extremes are bad.
Solving the self-image problem isn’t as easy as saying “Just be comfortable in your body”. That’s misleading and, in the long run, equally harmful to girls and women as the notion that we should all be sticks.
The average woman—well, really, the average American—is not physically fit. But why should we settle for average? Let’s be better than average.
* The national average pant size for women is actually 14
Ignoring the issues of how this is presents all three concepts… (as in, the fact that it presents what straight men would want their partners to be as equal to what women what themselves to be apparently?)
OP, it’s not just about healthy weights. Some people literally CANNOT maintain healthy weights. Some have health issues where they cannot keep weight on and some have issues where they cannot lose weight. I know this personally because hey, I always plateau at 160 and can’t lose anymore even when I was doing strenuous color guard stuff, and my brother had issues with his thyroid and until recently when his medications finally hit a point that they did what they were supposed to he couldn’t gain any weight and he was stuck at like 20 pounds lighter than he needed to be.
And mental or emotional health issues can be just as detrimental as physical health issues, so even there it’s not “just” about the actual weight. It’s still partially about perception.
Yes, the ideal should be at whatever point you are healthy, but healthy has to be adjusted for everyone based on other factors. It is not just an issue of weight, height, and build. It is an issue of hormones and emotions and glands and everything else.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly8ei8tJdF1r5gsazo1_400.png)

guys
do you have any idea how many episodes were leaked from the first series
like it only got really bad in season three but I can think of eight off of the top of my head that were view-able before they aired, and that’s without getting started on all of the episode titles, plots, stills, and what have you that were leaked.
I’m not saying that this isn’t a big deal and I’m not saying this isn’t wrong, but this also isn’t anything new, and saying things like “they might cancel the show” is extreme. Be real. ATLA was expensive and so is ALOK. They’re not going to dump all of that money into a show and then just not air it.
I still hate that episodes are getting/were leaked.
Stills and clips I can deal with. I just… Really can’t articulate it that well but…
I see the clips and stuff as getting a bit of cake batter when you’re baking? It’s good, but it’s only a little bit of goodness. And then you’re not going to take the cake out when it’s half-done baking just to get more- once it’s in the oven, you wait for it to finish.
You finish off whatever tidbits are left from prepping, but you don’t want teh whole thing half-done.
so how does Faron go from a water dragon to a monkey sort of thing?
Oh Hyrule you make so much sense.

does anyone have a gif of that moment in episode 4 (“An Open Book”) where David is dorkily grinning right after holding Keith’s hand right in front of Nate and Brenda? It’s so cute I need to save it as a reaction thing.
and now we’ve got traditional gender roles!
of COURSE hanging around with more girls will make a guy less likely to be victimized!
what, kids can be cruel little monsters that will say a guy hanging around a bunch of girls is automatically gay because he has a lot of girls-as-friends? no, that definitely can’t happen!
and under “motivated offenders”, they list “teenage males” but nothing specifically about women (“unsupervised youths” are listed though) at any point. because women CAN’T be a major source of crime, right?
