Thereโ€™s a sign on the wall at the place Iโ€™m working today. It says:

โ€œHugging is good medicine! It transfers energy and gives the person hugged an emotional lift. You need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance, and twelve for growth.โ€

what

4 hugs for survival

8 hugs for maintenance

12 hugs for growth

1 hug to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

critiques of negative utilitarianism are wild because theyโ€™re likeย โ€œthat means if you can destroy the universe you have a moral obligation to!โ€ as if overstepping consent does not inherently create suffering and you could get everyoneโ€™s consent to die

i want to clarify here that this gives off the vibe that i actually read philosophy and thatโ€™s not true at all

i feel like thereโ€™s a genie in charge of avatar. the thing we wanted most was probably a show about Kyoshi, our beloved 8 foot tall bisexual trans woman, free from all self doubt, kills fascists, separates an island from a fucking continent to be gay in peace and start a feminist militia.ย โ€œthe tallest feet of any avatarโ€ and The Most Down For Murder.

and they announce weโ€™re getting two ya novels about her!

and then they announce a second live action reboot of the original show. as if anyone asked for that again. as if anyone thinks โ€œhey this was a great cartoon, you know what else would be good? if it was a live action show that needs to be at least 50% cgi anywayโ€.ย 

and that means that itโ€™s not that they just didnโ€™t have the time or funding for a whole new show at the moment, they just thought it was safer to make a show that doesnโ€™t tread any new ground.
