Huh I wonder what Bernie was doing when that happened
“Chicago police officers carry protester Bernie Sanders, 21, in August 1963 to a police wagon from a civil rights demonstration at West 73rd Street and South Lowe Avenue. He was arrested, charged with resisting arrest, found guilty and fined $25. He was a University of Chicago student at the time.” From a Chicago Tribune article about this picture specifically
This protest, by the way, was a protest against segregation in the Chicago school system. Black students were only allowed to attend classes in portable trailers (referred to as Willis Wagons, named after the school superintendent Benjamin Willis) so remember how everyone makes jokes about how those shitty temporary classrooms had to become permanent classrooms because the US doesn’t fund education nearly as much as it should? Yeah only black students had to use those shitty temporary classrooms, while white students enjoyed actual buildings with proper infrastructure.
Bernie was demonstrating against this, was arrested, charged with resisting that arrest, because he had done nothing wrong, and was fined the modern equivalent of almost $200 for it.
I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:
1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear. "She said she doesn’t want to talk to me? So many mixed messages and confusing signals!“
2) Women not having cheat codes. "I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me. I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me. Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”
3) Women not being a hive mind. "First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles. Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all. Make up your mind, women!“
4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”
Ive never seen avatar the last airbender but here is my understanding of the plot based on tumblr
-the avatar is important bc he can bend all the elements and no one else can. There hasnt been one for a while and the fire nation is taking over
-a couple of siblings find a boy trapped in ice he’s like 9 and bald and the last airbender. Also he’s the avatar and they know this somehow
-siblings are like “well guess we have another brother” and they start on a journey to teach him how to avatar correctly. They ride A giant flying fluffy thing not unlike the luckdragon from neverending story
-meanwhile in the fire nation we’ve got todoroki minus the ice (zuko) and his mean dad sends him to find the avatar thinking that he’ll definitely fail. I think his dad also tries to kill him. He’s obsessed with honor. Zuko’s nice uncle is worried. Todoroki didn’t get a nice uncle Zuko is lucky in that department. Zuko is unlucky in most other departments
-when zuko finds the avatar he ends up joining up with him ? And he goes from having a weird bald+ponytail hairstyle to 2000s emo kid who just discovered mcr hairstyle. It looks nice on him.
-at some point sokka has a gf who turns into the moon. I am unclear on whether or not sokka is a bender. “That’s rough, buddy” says Zuko like a king
-zuko’s sister was also abused by their dad but didnt get a redemption arc but instead goes batshit. Me too, sis
-i think zuko kills his dad or am i thinking of Lotor
-zuko should kill his dad. Todoroki should also kill his dad. Death to abusers 2020
-im getting off track
-theres a blind girl that can bend metal and that’s a big deal
-there is no war in ba sing se. I do not know where this fits in but based on the memes that line is used in i have a feeling there is in fact war in ba sing se
-i dont know how the series ends
Congratulations, Tumblr! We explained to this guy the whole show using only memes!
“ i have a feeling there is in fact war in ba sing se ”
I started this a whiiiile back, but never knew how to go about finishing it. The garnet bit as a bit weird in some spots but overall i like it. especially with the ice and fire bits.
