I dislike talking politics bcuz they're not my best subject, and they make me uncomfortable and depressed. But, a summation of my beliefs for those curious:
Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
Love is love.
Black lives matter.
Women deserve bodily autonomy.
Hugs not drugs.

#AvatarFireAndAsh is capital-E epic. The VFX & action are as big & brutal in their destruction as they are wondrous in spectacle, and the writing takes the Sully clan down dark, engaging avenues toward containing their inner rage. James Cameron does it again! 4.5/5 #FilmSky🎬🎥📽️🎞️
