i hated that line more than I can express and no adult in ATLA would have ever said that to the gang Resistance in ATLA's presented as a holistic, global struggle in which all have a stake, so maybe it's food, money, being a lookout, lying to cover, something, ANYTHING-everyone was encouraged to see acts large & small as bolstering a greater revolution they could participate in.

Our environment lies about politics in sports, "woke" athletes dominating the field & violating the sanctity & purity of sport when it's actually other people using sports to say, "God, guns, & country" & I'm like, "That's a lot of concepts, me likey big man throw far & run fast" i think we may have been watching sports for VERY different reasons

White people: "I just have such a hard time relating when characters don't look like me!"

"I've met you before, haven't I?"

"We do not know each other."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Well..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to make you say it"

"No, but I want to explain, it's no—"

"But I *just* said you didn't have to"

"Hey, it's not like I'm some kind of rac—"

"I don't CARE!" Many of you need to learn your racism isn't nearly as interesting to us as you seem to be under the impression it is.

It's just not. We don't want you to explain. We don't need you to explain. We're not even trying to fix you, we just wanna live, YOUR mistakes are for YOU to fix

Imagine, if you will, a man who pulls up to an empty plaza with a small moving van. He meticulously unloads pieces of wood, rope, & metal, one by one, not seeming to be in any great rush. The police greet him yet ask nothing, & when I do, he says that he's building a guillotine. He explains to me: "After the guillotine is properly mounted, I'm going to put Black people in it & cut their heads off."

This is immediately alarming information to me. I grab the nearest passerby & try to communicate great urgency while maintaining calm. They don't understand.

We been trying to REACH you, kid—we know who the hell you are, why you believe what you do & know it's not our problem & STILL out of the goodness of our hearts try to get through that thick fucking Ba Sing Sae wall skull even the Dragon of the West ain't been able to crack yet. It's you, Zuko. It's up to you. We can't do anything else. We don't have power. That's the whole point. You do. We must save our people, & you must save yourself.

The greatest choice has always been yours because you're the one shooting the fire & don't even know why. WHY, Zuko?

No one accepts this as the real answer BECAUSE she's Black, no one believes she went in the audition & blew them away & was the person they were looking for, no one believes she was better than the other people — the only thing they see's a Black girl where a white one should be. So they say that it's insulting when a lot of chatter rises about Idris Elba being James Bond because Idris Elba deserves to be his own character, not a knockoff of a franchise, but I thought the conversation about representation is that magical "other" character isn't happening!

Trans women are actually the GOATS because due to patriarchy there's literally nothing more Girl Dick Energy than just being like, "Being a man does not work for me, let's change that"

Men have left their whole families & suffered less blowback than people not hurting anyone I think this is what people are trying to get at with "courageous" discourse, because that literally is so "man" & it's great (even though they are obviously women, TERFS GTFO, uh uh)

It's a banal point at this point, but the bigotry's rising so it merits repeating: it's brave.

It's so funny when you think about it but it is NOT COMICAL, you're going to tell me you look outside at the world at astounding corruption, icebergs falling off into the sea, corporations making record profits while the US's death rate soars & your stupid ass thinks it's ME?!! By the way, everyone thinks I'M the unreasonable one for not wanting to work with you, for not compromising with you, for telling you I think you're a piece of dogshit & the only cheat code God left any of us in this life is one day your shitstain will be removed from the Earth.

I once told my friend an anecdote from my Chilean roommate, who told me a Spanish man struck up a convo w/ him on the train, & after a while, asked what he earned & exclaimed: "That's more than *I* make!"

My roommate responded: "Maybe I'm smarter than you."

They didn't get it. They thought my roommate was a little pretentious, which of course they were, but stupid questions get stupid answers, & there is a very clear implication in a Spanish man saying a Chilean shouldn't make more than him — it's *for* that reason, but my roommate's got his degrees.💁🏿‍♂️

Queer is everyone.
Disabled is everyone.
Neurodivergent is everyone.
Children is everyone.

That's who "the least of these" means. They're the uncountable pebbles holding up the egregious insult of a sacred mountain carved with the faces of the men who enslaved teir own children. They're trying to snuff it out because these modalities rip straight through race, class, gender, & all of the little boxes used to divide our world & apportion the greatest amount of power to the least productive members of our society, & task the poor with running the machine.

"the median voter!" is almost always "the limits of what I personally allow and deem acceptable" because have you ever thought people might prefer if newspapers told them everything they already thought was true, but that newspapers have a different obligation? Or presidents? That being a leader means taking a stand on a minority position, something you know will be challenging but is the right thing to do?

That people respect leaders with visions, who have something to say, who capture their attention, *often* even if they disagree? Anyone? Bueller?

Clarence Thomas is my chaotic spiritual ally because he is the typification of a message I WANT people to understand: SOME BLACK PEOPLE ARE CORRUPT AS THE DAY IS LOONG!! 😂

I'm not asking any less careful questions when they Black, cops try that routine & it don't work, neither. You get a case about a bunch of Black cops beating the shit outta suspects & it's like "Guess this blows your whole racism theory out the water, eh?" No?! Prosecute them bitches! WHAT?!

Was it Black Lives Matter activists arguing *against* charging cops for beating protesters?

I'm not calling Encanto a Black movie, which is the point & the problem: Encanto is a product representing the ruthless interests of the most concentrated corporate evil in the room, the eye of Sauron, the Mouse that runs the HOUSE — yet a slight deviation blinds white audiences. It is not enough that the Disney Corporation is so big nothing can feasibly compete with it.

It is not enough its parks rake in billions of dollars a year.

It is not enough that Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, Belle, Ariel, Anna, Elsa, and Jane, are all White-as-Snow princesses.

It genuinely bothers me to think one could watch Abbott Elementary & believe it’s only searing commentary on the deplorable state of Black schools & not a celebration of the love & diversity propelling a group of teachers to keep it alive w/ every breath they have despite that. Like, if you believe it says that about Black schools, get involved!

But it's honestly as shocking to me as Chappelle finding out white people did not understand his comedy as anti-racism (a different Dave Chappelle without brain worms, you don't know him).

But it's so fresh!

"It's gotta stop somewhere!" they cry about stolen museum artifacts & Confederate statues, wail it about the monarchy, or sob it about the cops.

Yeah, but who's gonna stop it? You?

Of course it's gonna be you, & you knew that. So today, I'll tell you about Varrick & amorality. Varrick from Avatar: The Le... I've worked with children for a long time & one of the principal joys of doing so is they actually listen to your education, unlike adults.

Anybody over 30 is not just going to change their character because you give them one additional fact, or even more.

We repeat themes.

This is where I see a lot of characterization gone awry — race, the fault line of the 20th century & apparently the 21st.

White people do not see complexity in Black characters, which is how I knew a Black woman wrote Abbott. I saw me, & that only happens from someone who knows. It's why they don't understand stories like Encanto where reconciliation is possible, because they only think we're angels or demons.

They don't get that all this commentary about the infrastructure, funding, the unprepared teachers, the inadequate management is founded in love.

Like, I am VERY pro-white teachers talking about race, if anyone had been paying attention to racial education for the last 30 years they may have heard from minority students they would appreciate the topic of race not being the sole domain of whichever nigga is closest 😂 Of course people we call teachers are supposed to be shouldering this emotional burden for their students!

Of course the teacher is the person to volunteer things that may be uncomfortable to organize thoughts around instead of students thinking this class is for our benefit.

It's such a glaring story problem I can't!! For example, allies & enemies are inconsequential in the world of Korra.

Zuko knew, KNEW Team Avatar would reject his request to teach Aang & broke his back growing to that point & everybody's like, "Fascist bad, welcome back, Bolin!" Because the way you bend three elements, the way you become a lava bender, and the way you switch sides of which political movement you're on just has to do with a preternatural goodness inside of you, when Iroh told Zuko directly the darkness was an inescapable part of freedom.

Blows my mind news organizations uncritically accept cop press releases for cop involved shootings like, no, the killer does not get to decide the first story we hear about it!!

Everyone screams due process but Darren Wilson was allowed to clean himself & he should NOT have been Those kinds of infractions seem to bother them less. Every bit of malfeasance for the express purpose of evading accountability disturbs them less than accepting the word of someone you should know from every single cop drama you have ever ingested has a very clear motive to lie.

Great example of autistic versus neurotypical communication is guessing ages: the autistic person thinks they are being asked a sincere question they need to answer to the best of their ability, while the neurotypical person has a social script of what one *should* say instead. You are not, under any circumstances, supposed to answer it with whatever conforms to your opinion (which is what the literal question asks) — you are supposed to accurately judge the social script you are operating in to consider the emotional state of the questioner.
