i ended up liking how gendered french is solely because i can say that i want people to use he/him pronouns for me the same way they use it for angels, blood and blunts
This idea that all indigenous people are noble protectors of nature who never ever do anything to hurt their ancestral lands is so fucked lmao. Like it or not but there are absolutely indigenous people who raze forests to the ground and approve mining projects that poison water and encourage hunting and fishing practices that are known to be harmful and let oil companies tear apart their lands. Many of those people even hold authority positions in their tribes.
Indigenous people are not magical forest guardians who commune with the spirits of nature to always make the best choices. Many of us are selfish and cruel and ignorant and self-righteous, willing to risk our lands and communities for money and personal gain. That doesn't make us evil and it doesn't magically strip away our indigeneity, it just makes us human.

Our Japanese class found it funny that in common terminology "food" isn't very distinguished from specifically "rice" until it was pointed out to us that in English "meal" is "loose roughly ground grain"
If you are taking the car to Chicago, can you even call yourself a feminist. There are Women on that train who want to have gay sex with you but can't because you are taking a fucking car to Chicago
honestly it is sort of charming to me that the ATLA fandom has been hung up on the same imaginary teenage love triangle for fifteen years...personally I feel like it is NOT my business if Katara and Aang want to get married too young and have like a million children. godspeed to them, or whatever. but Sokka and Suki should definitely absorb Zuko into whatever they've got going on, mostly because I think it would be hysterical for two non-benders who can pass for straight if they do not open their mouths to have a regular third who is the hereditary monarch of the fire magicians. can you imagine. there's just a king in your house sometimes, rummaging half-naked through your fridge for snacks and complaining about how people keep trying to have him assassinated, and you can't tell anyone about it. hilarious dynamic.
