happy pride & remember: there is no such thing as a heterosexual vampire
this is one of those pictures that keeps telling a story the more you look at it
things i am learning now that i’m finally actually watching avatar the last air bender part one:
1) not everyone is a bender 2) it does appear to be inherent to some extent, because katara seems to be partially self-taught 3) however, there is a learning element, because you can improve on your skills and the avatar has to learn how to master all four elements where i thought aang just had inherent skill 4) the element of the bender seems to always match the element of the tribe they’re in, which makes sense if they are taught by their tribe but raises some questions if it’s inherent. is bending ability passed genetically? what happens if two benders of different elements have a kid? i can’t google this because i don’t want anymore spoilers than i already have 5) uncle iroh is prince zuko’s uncle?????????? i thought he was like an earth bender who owned a tea shop this entire fucking time how did i go into this series knowing almost everything but THAT

i honestly thought it was an honorary title like he’s a nice old man who helps out all the kids so he just has them call him uncle

@monstrousagonies This feels like regular questions The Presenter would field.

I don’t know music, so I don’t understand what I’m looking at (though I do like it), but I just showed this to my husband, and his jaw hit the floor.

How she do that

She just shat all over every guitar player in the top 40 with a bent guitar that’s not even tuned correctly (and missing its top e string)

Oh my goodness. Wow. Ive never seen something so amazing. Who is this woman?

Make her a superstar.
This gave me shivers.

Let this serve as an example that very rarely is there a “correct” way to make music. Traditional fingerings not working for you? Fuck em. Make your own. As long as you’re having fun and producing good sounds, you’re doing it “right”. (YMMV with violins, bagpipes and most wind instruments)
@argumate just fret like this
typing style!
this is sorcery right? We’re in agreement that this is sorcery?
dude.
i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me
when i was taking my first year anatomy lab, we’d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order, and when we’d ask our prof about it, he’d just shrug and say “they must not have read the book”
Just commited a crime. God I love killing people for money
Hey you shouldn't do that. You should be killing people because you enjoy it, not to play the part of a capitalist cog
You're so right, I'm such a buffoon

How to talk to children
This is based on decades of experience as an uncle and as an older brother.
- Never forget that children are just as much people as adults are.
- Kids 10 years or younger (and sometimes older than that) don’t get sarcasm or irony, so don’t use them.
- If a child has difficulty pronouncing a word, don’t copy their misprounciation when speaking to them. They can hear the word just fine. It could sound to them like you’re making fun of them.
- (Yes, this means no babytalk)
- Don’t be dismissive.
- Listen to what they’re saying.
- To get on the same eye-level, don’t bend over or squat: it seems condescending. Kneeling or sitting are better.
- It should go without saying that you should respect children’s body autonomy. Don’t force affection on them.
- Respect children’s emotional autonomy as well. Let them be angry. Let them be sad. Don’t force them to be happy.
- Let children like things. Don’t run down the things they like just because you find them cringy.
- Don’t think that you know better.
- To children, adults are giants. Be a big friendly giant.
- Don’t stifle children’s curiosity.
- Don’t stifle children’s enthusiasm.
- To quote Sondheim, “Be careful the words you say, children will listen.”
- Don’t look down on children.

When I worked at the before and after school program, I had all elementary school ages and this list is perfectly defined how to talk to kids.
One thing I want to add is: let kids just play. Let them use their imagination. If they’re running too fast but they think they’re sonic the hedgehog, just tell them “be a slower sonic so you don’t fall down.”
