There’s a sign on the wall at the place I’m working today. It says:

β€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.”

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 they’re likeΒ β€œthat means if you can destroy the universe you have a moral obligation to!” as if overstepping consent does not inherently create suffering and you could get everyone’s consent to die

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

i feel like there’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.Β β€œthe tallest feet of any avatar” and The Most Down For Murder.

and they announce we’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 β€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 anyway”.Β 

and that means that it’s not that they just didn’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 doesn’t tread any new ground.
