The first Star Wars movie I watched was The Force Awakens (in theaters) and it obviously awoke me because I've since seen all the films*. Anyways, I remember when I learned that Mark Hamill in Star Wars was also Mark Hamill the voice actor. I was shocked and gagged. What an icon.

*that's not true, I didn't watch the last one because fuck that trash. The third trilogy begins & ends with TFA for me

The internet can be such a beautiful place with such helpful people. These fics have plagued my memory for years and it took less than 24 hours for answers. Happy Saturday, y'all 💛

It's 1am and I'm up trying to find two zutara fanfics that have been on my mind for years (with no luck). I don't know if these tags are still active on Tumblr but gonna shoot my shot anyways. Anyone know these?

1 - Katara accidentally kills Zuko during season 1. She feels super guilty and goes to the spirit world to bring his soul back to his body. Towards the end of her journey, Katara meets the fire nation's sun god (for the life of me can't remember his name) and gets told that in order for Zuko's soul to stay in his body she needs to seal it with a kiss (it's very cheeky). Super cute, I think it was a one shot (?) and not rated explicit. Some recollection about what the summary said but still couldn't find it online.

Update 1: this story^^^ has been found! It is The Descent by chromeknickers

2 - One of the many Katara gets captured and kept on bald headed Zuko's boat fics. The plot is very vague for me but I remember there being a music/singing/dancing scene on the boat in the middle of the fic where Zuko tried to kiss her (???) and it like does not go over well (I remember the feeling of secondhand embarrassment) then he ended up helping her escape to rescue (??) aang (??) on zhao's (???) boat as the blue spirit. It ended with them washing up to shore and Katara left with her friends (she might have given him a peck on the cheek in return??). An optimistic to-be-continued kind of ending, I think it was also a one shot and not rated explicit. No recollection about what the summary said.

Update 2: this story^^^ has also been found!! It is Simple Misunderstanding by ShamelessLiar

1% of my brain's operating capacity has been stuck on these two fics for years so you'd do me a huge favor by releasing the power they have over me. I won't even care if they're poorly written, I just want to read them again so I can have closure (and bookmark them if they actually hold up to how my memory remembers them) lol

Everybody raise a glass to activist Opal Lee, one of the driving forces behind how we even got a Juneteenth in the first place.

Born Opal Flake in 1926 Texas, her home burned down when she was a small child and the family moved to Fort Worth. In 1939 the family purchased a home in a south side Fort Worth neighborhood --the first Black family to do so, which didn't sit well with some of the neighbors, and after only a few weeks an angry mob burned the house down. Despite these dual childhood traumas, Opal graduated from high school in 1943, and then eventually from Wiley College in 1953. She took a job teaching at an elementary school in Fort Worth, married fellow educator Dale Lee, and ultimately earned a Master's in counseling in 1968, from the North Texas State University (today the University of North Texas). She retired from her career in education in 1977 at the age of 51... and was clearly just getting started.

Beginning with a post-retirement career supervising a local food bank and its adjacent 13-acre farm, expanding it to a 33,000 sq. foot facility that today serves upwards of 500 families a day. More recently she also founded Transform 1012 N. Main Street, a coalition of Fort Worth area nonprofits and arts organizations aiming to reconstruct a former Ku Klux Klan auditorium into the Fred Rouse Arts Center (named for a Black man who was lynched by a Fort Worth mob in 1921). But Lee's greatest passion was always aimed toward preservation of local Black history, leading into the founding of the Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society. It was from this starting point that June 19th began to be more widely acknowledged and celebrated as a yearly event. Each year Lee and other members of the society made a point of walking two and a half miles, symbolically covering the number of years between the formal end of enslavement (i.e., the Emancipation Proclamation) and the time most Texans found out about it.

In 2016, now at the age of 89, Lee took the advice of the society to "go bigger," and walked from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C. (a distance of roughly 1,360 miles), taking more than five months to complete and collecting enthusiastic signatures along the way, in support of the premise of at last elevating Juneteenth to the status of a national holiday. On June 17, 2021, Lee was present at the White House when then-President Joe Biden signed the bill officially marking Juneteenth as an annual federal holiday. Today Lee is the oldest living member of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF), and is both a board member --and Honorary Chair-- of the National Juneteenth Museum. She was named by the Dallas Morning News as 2021's "Unsung Hero of the Pandemic," has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and in 2024 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This past year, Habitat For Humanity built and gifted Opal a new house on the very Fort Worth lot where a racist mob burned down her family's home 85 years prior.

Tuesday, Pittsburgh Hockey Now spoke with sources with direct knowledge of the situation about Malkin’s future, and specifically his future with the Penguins. There was immediate pushback on the idea that the Penguins’ stalwart could be shown the door.

One source in Malkin’s camp indicated the Penguins sought to reassure Malkin that conversations on his future beyond next season have not occurred.

Malkin’s camp declined to speculate about the future beyond this coming season, but referred to any news about Malkin’s future as “bad info.”

Indeed, sources close to Malkin indicated he will consider his future later next season, which seems appropriate. But it would seem neither team nor player has made the call.

i just know sid said not on my watch

Just watched the Ocean Gate documentary and boy was Stockton an entitled, narcissistic, and incompetent CEO. His arrogance could have killed so many more people than it actually did.

Heard back from one of the families thus far. They are essentially trapped in Iran because their flights got cancelled and they're looking for another way out. Aargh!

I have students who went to Iran this summer. I just sent all their parents an email checking in on their safety statuses. I just can't believe this is the world that we have to live in. Fuck Israel, fuck Zionism, fuck white supremacy, fuck nukes & bombs, and fuck the United States govt 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾
