Good News and Bad News

Good News

I had an excellent day at work. I was able to get the first half of the dreaded science final finished. All that remains are the essays which should only take about an hour or two to write. My new roleplaying blog is attracting attention. Yay!

Bad News

People suck. People are rude and I’m getting sick of it. I’m this close to reminding a few people who declare that their life is so hard and that others are inconsiderate that I’ve put up with a lot of their bullshit. Actually, no…since this is my blog I’m gonna say what I have to say to these people.

1. Oh your life is so hard? Right…but yet you can go home whenever you want, you only work what…two days out of the week where from what I’ve heard you spend most of that shift doing nothing. No, that doesn’t even come close to a real job. Get a real job and then you’ll have grounds to complain.

2. That paper wouldn’t have been that hard if you had just started it before midnight. Just sayin….so don’t complain when you can’t finish it on time. Your fault.

3. Pay attention in class and then you won’t be caught off guard when the teacher asks you to do something.

4. Clean the fuck up!

5. Don’t you dare turn that fucking light on while I’m still sleeping.

6. Headphones. Please, for the love of God, USE THEM! I’m tired of listening to your music all the time.

7. No you don’t deserve an A just because you’re an English major. Clearly your paper wasn’t as grand as you thought it was. Get off your high horse.

This list could continue but this covers the majority of what has just been pissing me off. Shockingly this list has nothing to do with work. Which is really….shocking. But then again, I enjoy work and I enjoy the team I work with.

GUIZE WEVE FINALLY MADE IT ON A SHOW THAT DIDN’T INVOLVE OOMPA LOOMPAS

Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have. Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience. One of the many reasons I love this show.
