sokka at the beginning of atla: a sexist jerk

sokka by the end of atla:

The f? How is wanting to live up to the image of a warrior like literally the entire male population of your tribe sexist?

Or is there some place else that you’ve liked to twist and ruin the whole beauty of the cartoon?

You were saying?

“Sokka grew up from being a sexist jerk in a strong feminist character” does not ruin the beauty of the cartoon, it is part of it.

We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.

1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.

2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking

3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.

4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.

5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.

Rare Photos of Black Rosie the Riveters

During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime
workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was
largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime
industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it
through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the
U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and
lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s
popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions
in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are
stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie
the Riveters.

Reblogging because I’ve never seen these before, and I bet a lot of people haven’t. 

If you are really interested in this history, might I recommend both Creating Rosie the Riveter: Class, Gender, and Propaganda in World War II and Bitter Fruit: African-American Women in World War II.
