They share this dream?

Was that implied to be literal?????

MY HEART

when your card declines at therapy so they bring out baby aang before anything bad is yet to happen (you can't save him)

#that means Aang was reassured he was alive even though he might’ve been dead otherwise #CRY #UGLY CRY #aang and appa #atla

WTF are you on about, FEATHERED DINOSAURS are COOLER than what we thought before

"Pluto isn't a planet" Fine.

"Dinosaurs had feathers" Fine!

"Neptune isn't a beautiful oceanic blue, it's actually the same washed-out disappointing color as Uranus" I will kill you with my bare hands

Look how they massacred my boy

To be fair, neither of those were intentional kills.

Toph is twelve. She isn’t thinking that far ahead.

Sokka had no f’ing clue what was gonna happen, he just wanted his found family not to be blown to smithereens.

Aang’s situation is in fact, entirely different.

Aang: i can't just go around killing people i don't like!

Toph, who locked two men in a metal box to starve a few months ago:

#pacifism #Yall don’t make me go get receipts on this one ok #these are CHILDREN #let’s not misrepresent their motives #this narrative of children fighting a WAR is already tragic enough without this mess #atla #toph #sokka

An incomplete list of things that employers commonly threaten that are 100% illegal in the United States

"We'll fire you if you tell others how much you're making" The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 specifically protects employees who discuss their own wages with each other (you can't reveal someone else's wages if you were given that information in the course of work, but you can always discuss your own or any that were revealed to you outside of work duties)

"If we can't fire you for [discussing wages/seeking reasonable accommodation/filing a discrimination complaint/etc], we'll just fire you for something else the next day." This is called pretextual termination, and it offers your employer almost no protection; if you are terminated shortly after taking a protected action such as wage discussion, complaints to regulatory agencies, or seeking a reasonable accommodation, you can force the burden onto your employer to prove that the termination wasn't retaliatory.

"Disparaging the company on social media is grounds for termination" Your right to discuss workplace conditions, compensation, and collective action carries over to online spaces, even public ones. If your employer says you aren't allowed to disparage the company online or discuss it at all, their social media policy is illegal. However, they can forbid releasing information that they're obligated to keep confidential such as personnel records, business plans, and customer information, so exercise care.

"If you unionize, we'll just shut this branch down and lay everyone off" Threatening to take action against a group that unionizes is illegal, full stop. If a company were to actually shut down a branch for unionizing, they would be fined very heavily by the NLRB and be opening themselves up to a class-action lawsuit by the former employees.

"We can have any rule we want, it's only illegal if we actually enforce it" Any workplace policy or rule that has a "chilling effect" on employees' willingness to exercise their rights is illegal, even if the employer never follows through on any of their threats.

"If you [protected action], we'll make sure you never work in this industry/city/etc again." Blacklisting of any kind is illegal in half the states in the US, and deliberately sabotaging someone's job search in retaliation for a protected action is illegal everywhere in the US.

"Step out of line and you can kiss your retirement fund/last paycheck goodbye." Your employer can never refuse to give you your paycheck, even if you've been fired. Nor can they keep money that you invested in a retirement savings account, and they can only claw back the money they invested in the retirement account under very specific circumstances.

"We'll deny that you ever worked here" not actually possible unless they haven't been paying their share of employment taxes or forwarding your withheld tax to the government (in which case they're guilty of far more serious crimes, and you might stand to gain something by turning them in to the IRS.) The records of your employment exist in state and federal tax data, and short of a heist that would put Oceans 11 to shame, there's nothing they can do about that.

kataang nation I give you an edit of katara and aang wearing each other’s respective colours, taken from imbalance part 3.

In the ATLA artbook, Bryke mentioned that a huge inspiration for Aang’s playful personality came from a particular segment from a “Shaolin Monks: Wheel of Life” performance. If you start at 9:10, you’ll see the young martial artist who inspired Aang. I believe he’s performing Monkey Fist Kung Fu (Hóu Quán/猴拳).

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^
