I have a chicken named Noodle and she’s a bit under the weather and all she ever wants to do is cuddle. It’s past chicken bedtime and she was having trouble sleeping alone, so I took her out for a snuggle and she fell asleep with her head laying on my chest and she made the softest snores and I love her
Sadly Noodle’s prognosis is not looking good and she may not make it through this. My little bearded friend has showered me with love and affection since the day I got her. I chose Noodle because she was the chubbiest, happiest little chick in the bunch. I’m so happy I got to raise this smart little goof ball. She’s such a weirdo but she’s so full of love. Below is a picture of the day I brought her home and earlier today.
Love you Chicken Noodle
GOOD NEWS
THE VET WAS VERY WRONG
MY NOODLE BIRD IS DOING FINE
She’s feeling so much better and is just loving all the personalized attention
Miss Noodle is going to remain a house chicken for a couple more days just until we’re absolutely sure she’s out of the woods and she’s honestly so thrilled about it because it means never ending snuggles
Here she is with her boyfriend Pharaoh who helped keep her calm when she was feeling really bad
Her boyfriend doesn’t even look real. he has a doll face. he was perfectly sculpted by the chicken gods.
The story of Superman and Moses are actually very similar. Both were sent away in a capsule, as their family was about to be killed, and were adopted into another family. After reaching adulthood, they used their special powers to benefit those around them
Yeah it’s almost as though Superman’s creators were Jewish and that was an intentional parallel.
The superman and Jesus parallel was probably more intentional.
But the parallel Moses and Jesus is also intentional for another reason.
no, i promise you it wasn’t. the creators of superman were Jewish they were not referencing Jesus at all. Superman’s name is literally Ka-El. It’s Hebrew. There are multiple books about Superman’s Jewish origins. (Up, Up, and Oy Vey; Superman is Jewish?; and Mensch of Steel. It’s also covered in the book Superman: The High-Flying History of America’s Most Enduring Hero). It’s been suggested that Siegel and Shuster would have almost certainly been familiar with (also Jewish!) strongman Zishe Breitbart, who was billed as the “Superman of the Ages.”
no one was paralleling jesus in the creation of Superman.
other people superman was based off of/inspired by:
creator Jerry Siegel, who posed for some of the early designs (and was obviously Jewish)
his father, Mitchell (still Jewish) who died after an armed robbery
Stanley Weiss, who was Jewish, and posed for the design updates in 1945. below is a picture of his son, holding one of those sketches:
Siegel and Shuster were not paralleling Jesus.

Hey, Christians: NOT EVERY PURE OF HEART PERSON IS JESUS.
Bold Take: EVERYcharacter in the live-action ATLA series should be played by Dante Basco. Every single one. Zuko? Dante Basco. Iroh? Dante Basco. Katara? Dante Basco. The Cabbage Man? Dante Basco. That Ember Island Players theater actor who plays Zuko during that one play? Dante Basco. That Toph actor who screams? Dante Basco. Appa/Momo? Dante Basco. The foaming mouth-guy? Dante Basco. That forty-foot totem poll on Dante Kyoshi Island? Dante Basco. Those fish swimming in the koi pond? Dante Basco.
Did I stutter?
I mean…I probably did…I have a speech impediment but EVERY CHARACTER MEANS EVERY CHARACTER! He’s in the background, the foreground, the underground, the playground, the…ground…hog…he’s a groundhog…what were we talking about?
Audrey is so underrated. How can you not love her?
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. On one hand it’s got awesome PoC characters who defy racial and gender stereotypes. It also discusses colonialism and how people tend to destroy indigenous cultures to obtain land and resources (which is why the crew ultimately decided a to pretend they never found Atlantis because they don’t want anyone else to try and destroy the culture). But on the other hand, the whole plot is that Atlantis needs a white, cishet man to save it from extinction and for some reason he understand their culture and language better than they do.
hEY FUCK YOU OKAY MILO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHITE SAVIOR HE WAS A NERDY USELESS LITTLE SHIT WHO WAS COWARDLY UNTIL OTHERS FORCED HIM TO ACT HIS ONLY STRENGTHS WERE HIS MIND AND HIS ETHICS HE WAS THE PERFECT DUDE FOR THE JOB AND THE REASON HE KNEW BETTER WAS BECAUSE HE RIGOROUSLY STUDIED TEXTS THAT HAD BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED IN ATLANTIS BECAUSE KIDA’S FATHER INTENTIONALLY LET HIS KINGDOM LAPSE INTO DECAY AND OBSCURITY
DO NOT PULL THAT WHITE SAVIOUR BULLSHIT BECAUSE MILO WAS A DAMN GOOD DUDE
I’ve been trying to tell people this for years. Also, what differentiates Milo’s experience from the white savior complex is his expectation and his attitude. When looking for Atlantis, the last thing Milo expects to find are people. He says the most they thought that they would find are carvings and pottery. And he would have been happy with just that.
And even when he finds the Atlanteans, he treats the culture and people with the utmost respect (peek the scene where the crew has their audience with the king). He never tries to interfere in the people’s way of life nor change them. He’s merely an observer fascinated with the culture/people and just wants to know more about them.
In most movies, the white savior comes into the situation with an attitude of superiority and only through his interactions with the native people (and a lot of times a beautiful native woman) is he humbled and then eventually brought in as an honorary member of the people. Milo never asks for thanks or wants to make a name for himself. He does what he does because he loves it and it’s a way to keep his grandfather’s legacy alive.
Yeah. Milo was a damn good dude.
And another thing about Milo that’s made evidenced by this scene in particular? He’s got respect for women. He doesn’t ask why it’s a GIRL mechanic on the expedition, only why it’s a TEENAGER. Doesn’t question Kida’s leadership and knowledge when he meets her. (I can’t think of more examples off the top of my head but I’m sure they’re there).
Milo is a wonderful Disney protagonist, and this movie deserves the underground love it receives.
