i'm in a course that's genuinely upsetting like it's designed so badly and i'm so irritated at it. absolutely demoralizing to be here, stop blaming students for bad instructional choices

this country is so terrible. there is nothing to celebrate about it. i wish and hope it can be stopped.

i wish i didn't have to fight my brain just to exist every single day

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president
