Sleeping with your door closed can literally save your life.

In a properly alarmed home - that is a home where all of the smoke detectors are connected, either via hard wire, or via wifi system - a fire in one pat of the home will trip the smoke detectors in the *entire* home. Sleeping with your door CLOSED would not, then, contribute to how quickly you would hear the smoke detector alarm go off.

The door being closed, however, WOULD contribute to how much smoke enters your room while you are asleep and vulnerable and unable to guard your airway BEFORE the detector goes off. And in a modern home, the products of combustion are absolutely DEADLY. The gasses given off contain so many toxins and poisons, that if you sleep through the first few minutes of the fire and inhale that smoke? You won’t have enough coherence left TO wake up, even when the alarm is screaming in your ear.

The minutes that keeping your door closed can save before it burns through should your home catch fire in the middle of the night while you are asleep? Will literally save your life. Even something as cheap as an ordinary hollow core interior door. It’s enough.

My younger sister enters high school and one time my mom asked my sister if she had her homework done. And I thought my mom was talking to me and I blurted out "HOLY SHIT I FORGOT." I was shaking for a good 20 minutes from the adrenaline. I hadn't had homework in three years.

Several years out of high school I get anxious going to the bathroom at my job thinking my manager or supervisor is going to stop me and give me shit for slacking off or not asking permission. I hold it for hours on end. I drink less water.

Four years after graduation I show up to work with a 104 degree fever. I'm pulling a pallet and pass out from exasution. It doesn't last long and I'm still okay.

To this day I hear people giggling and assume they're laughing at me. I assume everyone is going to treat me like a highschooler would. Or worse a teacher. When I'm pulled into an office I assume I'm getting into trouble. I'm terrified of people asssuming I'm stupid or lazy or a flake.

Counter-question: How long before Zuko knew that Toph was blind? 

Counter-counter-question: Do you think Zuko just spent weeks wondering, because sometimes, she seemed blind, but other times, she clearly knew where everything was, even ‘seeing’ stuff he didn’t?

And Zuko, being the newcomer to the group, already trying his best to not be hated, has no idea how to even ask this question. Because, let’s face it, very few people know how to talk to disabled people, and Zuko doesn’t know how to talk to any person, so combine that and I’m just imagining this succession of hijinks as he tries to figure out if she can see or not, without directly asking her.

It is remarkable that she had such a strong practise and had great influence at 16. Despite various disruptions that caused her to stop painting, she returned to her practise from the 60s until the end of her life.

It was within her work that Baya found freedom. The world she painted, after all, is one where women assert their individuality and are free from the men who attempt to brand them with labels, keep them inside the home, or hold them back in any way. “If I change my paintings, I will no longer be Baya,” the artist said in 1991, after her husband died and she’d returned to painting. “When I paint, I am happy and I am in another world.”
