Who the fuck are you?

Fuck you for the anxiety you gave me from getting a letter from a name and address I don’t recognize.

Fuck you for the time you made me waste having to open that letter.

Fuck you for the complete bullshit feeling of finding out that you literally just wrote “hi” and expected that to communicate anything or resolve anything.

I don’t know your stupid douchebag ass, and I don’t want to. Fuck all the way off.

You say hi. You start with hi in a conversation. DMs and similar are conversation areas. This isn't even about emails and letters.

Web chats are asynchronous. By the time the other person even sees your meaningless “hi”, you may be AFK or asleep.

You wouldn’t just call someone, say “HI”, then sit in silence and make the other person ask you who you are. No, you say “This is [name], calling you about [topic].” within the first few seconds.

You wouldn’t just mail someone a letter in an envelope, just to write “hi”, and make the other person send you a reply to ask you who you are. No, you put your whole message right there in that letter.

Even in real life, you wouldn’t step up to a stranger and blurt out “HI”, then stand there grinning like a creep and staring right into their eyes to pressure the other person to ask you who you are. No, you start the conversation up with an ice-breaker, like a compliment, the question you actually want to ask, or just a rhetorical small-talk question.

This isn’t demanding you to “start a novel”. This is telling you to actually start a conversation like a normal fucking human being can. This is basic manners.

You people are terminally self-centered and have no respect for the time, social battery, and boundaries of others.

P.S.: On a similar note to “No hello”, here’s “Don’t ask to ask”:

Tumblr post: xyz is proof you're irredeemable Me to my therapist in college way back when: It's awful to admit this but I... I experience xyz. It feels horrific and shameful and I don't know what to do

Said therapist: xyz is extremely common, and it means nothing about you as a person. But since it's making you miserable, here's how you can work on experiencing it less

my fave quote

“In an executive order, Trump recommended separating the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination — although there aren’t separate vaccines available — and that all vaccines should be given in separate doctor’s visits.”

1. Fertiliser from thin air? How farmers can make their own fertiliser from air, water and on-site renewables

“[… T]he technology could potentially give farmers greater control over both fertiliser costs and supply, while dramatically reducing the emissions associated with conventional production. […] Rather than relying on huge centralised plants, PlasmaLeap’s technology is designed to be containerised and deployed close to where fertiliser is actually used. […] “We’re designing a system which is autonomous, which you can monitor in real time, and which will simply turn itself off if there’s […] anything dangerous happening[….]””

2. Amazon deforestation alerts fall to lowest level since 2013, Brazilian data show

“INPE’s DETER alert system detected 2,874 [sq km] of deforestation in the Amazon between August 1, 2025, and July 31, 2026. That was 36% below the previous 12-month period and 55.6% below the average of the preceding decade. The total is the lowest since INPE introduced the current DETER system in 2015. Including data from its predecessor system, the last time alerts were lower was the 2012/13 deforestation year, when 2,766 sq km were recorded.”

3. Meet the Indigenous women restoring Kenya’s Mau Forest — and reshaping gender roles

“As Indigenous women restore degraded sections of the Mau Forest, they are also earning independent incomes, participating in household decisions and reviving traditional ecological knowledge that once sustained their communities for generations before going dormant. […] Letina’s group has sold 10,600 indigenous tree seedlings [“valued in forest restoration for supporting biodiversity and also widely used in traditional medicine”] to the organization since joining.”

4. The $200 million project aiming to bring 100 of the world’s rarest species back from the brink

“The $200 million (£150 million) Phoenix Species Project is the largest ever single philanthropic initiative dedicated exclusively to the recovery of critically endangered species across diverse taxonomic groups, habitats and countries. Collaborating with Indigenous Peoples, local communities, scientists and conservationists, it will provide long-term support to help recover species facing imminent extinction, including those that are down to tiny populations, that exist in isolated locations or are already extinct in the wild.”

5. Huge new turbines could let biggest UK wind farm do more with less

“[After upgrades,] the wind farm will produce twice as much power with almost half the number of turbines […] and it would upgrade capacity without expanding into undeveloped countryside. […] “It doesn’t take twice as long to service a turbine that’s twice as big, and you don’t have to do two foundations — you only need to do one,” said Kaj Skov Nielsen[….] New sensors can detect birds and bats and slow the blades’ rotation to protect them. Others can spot potential mechanical issues[….]”

Is being puppeted about

Bro I saw that too LMFAO they keep stealing our nachos and then slandering us for having the nachos first 😂😂 and look at this mf I just saw on Twitter

🤨🤨🤨

This bitch is talking shit about kataang under an artist’s fanart like he wasn’t writing zutara slave fanfiction on Twitter a few years back which no zutara shippers protested to or said anything about

Aang doesn’t ask for Katara’s physical affection, and it’s actually something he has a small arc rejecting because he has a hard time accepting it.

Katara doesn’t “mother” Aang by being physically affectionate. That’s how she is showing romantic love. When she mothers a character (like Sokka or Toph) she scolds them, yells at them, bosses them around and acts like she has authority over them.

Aang never asked Katara to “manage” the Avatar State for him, and never appointed her to such a role. She also only pulls him out of the Avatar State twice in the entire 61 episode show.

Aang does not “throw a tantrum” when entering the Avatar State. He only enters the Avatar State 3 times due to emotional distress. Every other time he does, it’s to save people’s lives.

Aang did let go of Katara in the Crossroads of Destiny. We literally see him do this on screen and then he gets shot with lightning and nearly dies because he’s narratively being punished for it.

Katara shows clear romantic interest in Aang throughout each season of the show, beginning with book 1 episode 4. She shows repeated jealousy whenever Aang mentions or interacts with a girl that isn’t her. She blushes over Aang, she asks to kiss him, she kisses him back, she initiates the kiss that starts their relationship, she asks what he thinks of her appearance, she considers marrying him, and she said she loved him in book 2 episode 1.

Aang appreciates all of the things Katara does for him and repeatedly thanks her for these things throughout the show.

Aang did not try to force his culture onto Katara in The Southern Raiders and agreed that she needed to go on the journey. She even thanked him for understanding before she left. He ended the episode saying he was proud of her.

Katara does not treat Aang like a brother and we can see that she does not treat or view Aang and Sokka the same way whatsoever. She even on screen denies viewing him like a brother when he asks.

Katara never said she was confused about how she felt for Aang. She said she was confused about if and when they could have a romantic relationship because the war was still ongoing.

Aang did not assault Katara in The Ember Island Players episode. He did not hold Katara down and force himself onto her. He did not kiss her out of malice or intent to hurt her. Both of these characters were in love with each other and had already kissed twice before this moment, one at her suggestion and the other being one she on screen reciprocated. He kissed her at a bad time here and that was all it was. She pulled back, and he didn’t try to fight her on that. He was reprimanded for it and made a mistake.

Aang does not depend on Katara to “raise” him. He was already self sufficient and well traveled before he’d even met her. It was Katara who had never left her home before she met Aang. She’d never even met another boy around her age that wasn’t her brother. This is canon.

Katara lost her mother and Aang DOES understand that pain because he lost Gyatso, who was his guardian and father in every way that matters. Katara herself literally relates her grief over her mother’s death to Aang having lost Gyatso in the 3rd episode of the show! This is CANON!

This was literally kataang the entire show mind you

All this gross mischaracterization and outright lies spewed for decades all for a fanon ship that was never happening smfh free us all from this hell
