Does Gary even take showers..

Talpians are not huge fans of getting wet, and in modern society they prefer drier methods of cleaning themselves, such as powdered shampoos, or actual wipe downs rather than getting full on wet.

But before those things existed, talpian hygine practices were essentially a form a dust bathing.

That is to say. No. He doesn't. He lives extremely rustic, so he dustbathes.

Brazil’s Lula compares Israel’s war on Gaza with the Holocaust

Season four needed a little work on the villains' motives. I don't just mean Kuvira, though she's certainly underwritten, but also Bataar and really the entirety of the Earth Empire supporters.

Reuniting a fractured Earth Kingdom makes sense as a political motive. So does taking back Republic City and the lands that were co-opted by Aang and Zuko after the war. But as a character motive...why does Kuvira want to do this? Why does Bataar believe in it and in her so much? And why does any of this require so much Nazi imagery and allegory?

There's something lazy about the way its all written. Why does she need a superweapon (because the atomic bomb existed in ww2). Why is she locking water tribe and fire nation people in prison camps (because the holocaust was a thing). Why does she go about reuniting the Earth Kingdom/invading independent states as a militaristic dictator (because that's what the nazis were).

It's like the writers wanted to use all this shorthand to explore fascism if fascism developed in the atla universe without one, considering very deeply why fascism even evolved in our world in the first place, and two, without considering why the characters doing the fascism were doing it in the first place.

It's like they wrote the events and forgot to consider why those events might occur. They wanted the cool mech suit battle with the atomic bomb gun but forgot to ask why Kuvira would want to take back Republic City so much that she would create this kind of weapon in the first place.

It's weak character writing and shallow world building. It says "do the thing" without explaining why the thing would be done.

There is a post that goes around sometimes that claims acne and hygiene are completely unrelated and. God. That is so rude to my girlies with cystic acne, a condition that hurts so bad and is actively alleviated with the correct active ingredients (topical drugs) if you have ever suffered a boil or a blind pimple the size of a dime, trust me and buy an extremely light moisturizer and salicylic acid or at least benzoyl peroxide. I don't even use the stuff consistently but it reduces occurrences massively if you manage to wash and treat your face (or wherever. The cysts aren't picky.) twice a week. It sucks to have to treat a skin condition and it sucks that we are made to feel lesser and like we have to do more because of that skin condition, but we also deserve to treat the painful symptoms. And acne fucking hurts. Physically, it hurts.

But there’s something wrong with that debate. It’s omitting a third alternative, namely the one that is being systematically implemented by Israel, ever since 1969 or so, is the creation of a ‘Greater Israel’, which will take over. Everything that’s of value to Israel will leave out the Palestinian population concentrations.

So, Israel doesn’t want to incorporate Nablus within what will be the ‘Greater Israel’. Has to maintain a large Jewish majority in a racist, Jewish-dominated state. So that means take over the Jordan Valley, kick out the population.  One or another pretext is used … and then it turns into Jewish settlements.

They take over towns deep in the West Bank like Maale Adumim, built mostly in the 1990s, state-subsidised pleasant housing … You can go from your subsidised villa in Maaleh Adumim to your job in Tel Aviv and not even know there are any Palestinians. By now, the Palestinians who are left in the regions that Israel’s integrating and planning to take over are divided into … about 160 or so small enclaves surrounded by Israeli forces, which may or may not allow Palestinians to tend their crops, tend their livestock and pick their olives and so on, basically imprisoned.

The far-right nationalist religious government, extended the right of Israeli settlement to the northwestern West Bank, what Israel calls Western Samaria … [seeking to] integrate into Israel whatever is valued of Israel within the occupied territories. Jerusalem’s now maybe five times whatever it was historically, taking in surrounding villages to ensure a Jewish majority.

Good morning its the day after I took that kink quiz for syb and I really can't get over it because she also falls into a religiously centered bdsm dynamic with Joe during the bunker years wherein joseph 'doms' by having her atone for her sins and by ritualistically opening her stigmata and she subs by continually confessing new sins to atone for whenever she starts feeling numb. They are both incredibly toxically codependent about it too
