Goodbye, Stuy - Jun Hong
Read it for the last Open Mic!
Lyrics are in description - the first few words “I’ve been here for 4 years, now that’s a long time” are cut off
Especially my dad. I like talking to my dad for the first five minutes or so ‘cause we don’t get to talk often. And then I remember it’s because he for some damn reason has to repeat or ask me to repeat something I said a week ago, a day ago, but mostly something I said a fcking minute ago. I do not understand.
Only a 90s kid would understand..

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.
