Yeji: I thought I told you to dress formally!

Chaeryeong: I did! This shirt has no holes, the sleeves aren’t ripped off, and I’m not visibly carrying any items that may or may not accidentally kill Ryujin!

Has nothing to do with my blog but why not

People talk about this all the time, but I need to talk about it some more.

ATLA continuously showed the strong contrasts between Sokka and Katara’s family vs Zuko and Azula’s.

They’re set up similarly, of course, with the mother absent, a younger sister and her older brother. The sister is, in some way, considered superior than her older brother toward the beginning because of her abilities, whether it be that she’s a prodigy or just has bending altogether.

But I just,,, HHHNNG.

First, let’s talk sibling relationships.

Sokka and Katara don’t get along all the time. But siblings bicker often, and that’s really all it is for the most part. They genuinely love each other and are devastated when one or the other gets hurt.

Azula and Zuko, as previously explored, don’t like each other but get along fine when their father isn’t there to pit them against one another. (i.e. 3x05 The Beach). Azula has tried to kill Zuko on multiple occasions, and she’s never had trouble manipulating him, even in their younger years. And it was all to please her father or because she was the favorite.

But what I REALLY want to talk about is the parental relationships.

Katara and Sokka loved both their mother and father.

Azula and Zuko both favored a different parent, and that parent favored them in return (not to say that Ursa didn’t love Azula, because she did, but there was clear dysfunction present in their relationship).

Katara and Sokka had a father that loved them both and did what he could for them.

Ozai, was, well, Ozai, and didn’t ever show any care or love for his son because Azula was always better.

Hakoda loved Katara and Sokka and never favored one or the other. (He never degraded Sokka for being a nonbender.)

(Ozai would have killed Zuko if he were a nonbender.)

It’s just apparent how the members of one’s family, primarily the fathers in these cases, can change the entire dynamic.

If Ozai didn’t treat Zuko like he did, and didn’t favor Azula to an extreme, maybe Azula and Zuko wouldn’t have the relationship shown in the show. Maybe they would’ve been more like Katara and Sokka, just a little bit.

If Hakoda has chosen to favor Katara because she could bend, Sokka would grow to resent her while she’d grow to believe he was inferior.

And I just think about that a lot.

Rant over. Sorry this was long-winded lol

Taehyun: Can’t you just look at things from my perspective?

Soobin: *crouching down*

Taehyun: Listen here, you little-

it goes

baby

Yuna: Do you think I could fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Yeji, Sighing: You’re a hazard to society

Ryujin: And a coward. Do twenty

I lonely 😔

the fact that NONE of you are in my inbox tryna be buddies with me is kinda sad

Yoongi: It costs $400 do pay for a therapist, but it’s free to tell myself it be like that sometimes.

Seokjin: No...

So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).

There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:

They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.

Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.

There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).

There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.

They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/frito-lay-strike-forced-overtime/

So, why am I signal boosting this?

Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.

And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.

So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.

Frito-Lay owns:

Lay's

Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).

Fritos

Tostitos

Cheetos

Ruffles

Sun Chips

Baken-ets

Chester's

Cracker Jack

Islen plantain chips

Funyuns

Grandma's (the cookies)

Matador Meat Snacks

Maui style potato chips

Miss Vickie's

Munchies

Munchos

Rolled Gold

Sabritones

Santitas

Simply

Smartfood

Stacys

The Walking Taco

NatuChips

PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:

Kettle Brand Chips

Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).

Pringles

On the Border for salsa.

Wise Cheez Doodles

Bugles

Utz

Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.

Cheez-its

Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.
