EDS psa of the day: for people who have periods, EDS symptoms can worsen at certain times in your cycle. This is because you produce more hormones that cause ligament laxity which worsens already too loose EDS joints. It's usually at it's worst around your period. These hormones are also why people who are pregnant with EDS tend to worsen significantly.

Throwing physically ill people under the bus to try and show how hard mentally ill people have it is not fighting ableism.

Its helping ableism.

Situation: you see a service dog

What to do:

Ignore the dog. Do not mention the dog.

girls deserve to feel comfortable existing in their body in every way. girls deserve to not be sexualized just for existing. girls deserve to feel safe in the body theyre in. girls deserve to feel beautiful in their most natural states. girls deserve to exist and take up space

if I was a cyborg I would want all of my mechanical parts to be like 90s clear plastic so you could clearly see all the machine guts inside and I think that's really sexy of me.

his writing is SO underrated, the movie is nothing except for the song so long and thanks for all the fish

I woke up with the thought “an especially intelligent shade of blue” and I’m delighted to go look up what that’s from. It sounds very Douglas Adams.

It costs you literally nothing to leave service dogs the fuck alone.

It scares the living crap out of me that there are some girls my age with children like how do they even deal with that I can’t even keep my Sims alive without cheats

[bottleddaydream]

I have decided that I am incompatible with this reality. Meet me in a parallel universe.

Top 5 Toph being baby moments.

DID SOMEONE SAY SOFT TOPH?????

(in no particular order)

1. SHE’S BABY, YOUR HONOR 

BADGERMOLE KISSES FOR BABY TOPH!!!!

ONE LITTLE EARTHBENDER BABY FINDING A LOVING AND ACCEPTING FAMILY WITH THE BADGERMOLES!!!!! 

2. This moment was one of the first times we saw Toph be open and vulnerable around one of her new friends-- not hiding behind a veil of sarcasm or hardness, just being vulnerable about something you wouldn’t think she’d care about. She’s not a ‘girly girl’ but we saw in this episode that she had a nice time getting pampered with Katara and she liked being treated, even if she had to gradually get comfortable with it. She likes and trusts Katara enough to go along with it, even if she was hesitant (if you think about it the spa was kind of the perfect metaphor for Toph opening up to and taking a leap of faith for Katara because she was putting herself in an inherently vulnerable position: letting people touch her feet, having people touch her, etc.). 

But at the end of the day, we see some of her fears validated with the girls making fun of her and it does hurt her. She was crying during this scene. And she was comfortable enough around Katara to be that vulnerable, not just brush it off like it didn’t affect her. 

And right here it pays off. Toph’s constantly brushing people off and has put up walls that could rival Ba Sing Se’s, but she takes a leap of faith on these people, a leap of faith on Katara-- and she’s met with love and support and kindness. 

And as someone pointed out once, she knows Katara isn’t lying right here. 

3. Zero to “SOKKA’S COMING!!” real quick after he’d been gone for like 3 days max 

(feat. a “blink and you’ll miss it” hug) 

4. Okay I never see this moment talked about which is a shame because it makes my heart hurt every time. 

The last time Toph thought she was going to see her mom back in Ba Sing Se, it turned out to be a trap and she got captured and put in a metal box. For all she knows, that’s what her parents really wanted for her. She already felt trapped with them for years, but in a moment when she expected her mom to come see her with open arms, she was locked away instead. 

And after all that she’s still angry with them, but she still misses them. She feels guilty over leaving them even after how they treated her. She’s not really dealing with how she feels about it mainly because it’s complicated and she’s rightfully angry with them, but she still loves them. Under all the Greatest Earthbender in the World hardness and through all the walls, Toph’s still sometimes just a kid who wants her mom. Sometimes that’s not an option for one reason or another, and she needs Katara for that reason. 

Katara and Toph’s friendship was so important for Toph because even though they bicker and fight, Toph knows she needs Katara. She knows that Katara grounds her and supports her. Katara’s the person Toph will let her guard down in front of without having to be pushed. There’s this unbreakable, important trust she has for Katara-- one of her first friends in her life and someone she knows accepts her and would do anything for her. 

5. “Sir, this is my emotional support firebender” 

Toph with anyone else: I’m sorry you must be at level 4 friendship to unlock my tragic backstory

Toph with Zuko: I’ve only known Zuko for three weeks, but if anyone hurt him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself
