The debate about Avatar "having no cultural impact" is kind of a smokescreen for the actual argument which is that Avatar is "boring" and "bad" and "has terrible characters, worldbuilding, plotting and dialogue"

JFC. Ad at the top. Ad at the bottom. Ad literally covering up the picture in the article that's impossible to close out.

It is one of the most annoying things in all of reality that the "exercise releases endorphins that make you feel better" thing turns out to be mostly true.

The vaccine doesn't hurt ANYONE. What could possibly be the reasoning for not letting people have it, other than they WANT people to get sick?? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Re-Rading LOTR and remembering why Merry was always my favorite: He is *this* close to death after helping kill the goddamn Witch King, he's been through hell and traumatized all his friends in the process, and first thing he does when he wakes up is say "I'm hungry".
I've never felt so SEEN.

I think us teachers should be allowed to wear scrubs to work. They look so comfy, plus they let you move around, and they are designed to sustain a lot of dirt and bodily fluids, which children fling at you all day. Plus: elastic waistbands and pretty colors! Sign me up!

I've been couch-rotting by watching. LOT of Housewives shows, and among many other weird things in this show, one thing that's stood out is seeing just how many of these husbands clearly *hate* their wives. Just the clear, active dislike in their faces and actions kind of knocks me back.

We, as a WORLD, desperately need to stop giving stupid people a megaphone. Let them rant in their podcasts to their audience of a dozen people, just for the love of EVERYTHING, stop putting them in supposedly "legitimate" outlets. It's just the worst!

WHAT is with this shit so many sites do that you're trying to read an article or recipe or whatever and a video starts playing of some *other* article/recipe/story?! Not even an ad (there's a tiny one playing in the corner already) but some more content from the SAME website?! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS.

Burger place down the street has the most incredible fries. Craggy, crunchy, fluffy inside, some kind of seasoning on them. Every other fry is so pathetic compared to these, I can't even enjoy the others anymore.

I was able to hold a side-plank for THREE whole seconds today (1.5 on the other side lol) and I am SO proud of myself. Might treat myself to some Vietnamese food as a little reward.

5 movies that took hold of my brain early on and never left (we had them on VHS and watched a ridiculous number of times) :
1. The Sound of Music
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Raiders of the Lost Ark
4. The Little Mermaid
5. Mary Poppins
Honorable mention: Dumbo. Dubbed in Spanish, of course.

Felt a powerful urge to re-read The Lord of the Rings, so I started it up again last night.
Man, even after the...20th (30th?! I've lost count) that book is like slipping into a warm, comfortable bed with the softest pillows imaginable. It's like coming home after a long trip. Like a big hug.

Dear doctor's office: thank you, but I do not need six separate reminders of my appointment on Monday. Rest assured that it's been firmly implanted in my anxiety center since the second I set the appointment a month ago.

Best part of Superman was his dad being so loving and encouraging instead of like, telling him it's ok to let people die and then sacrificing himself to...make a point(?).

I have tickets for Superman at 3 so of course I can't do anything else at all today except wait for that time to come around.
Then I'll be in the theater for 45 minutes before the movie even starts.
