Bilingual culture is either refusing to read books in any language other than the original or reading the same book in all the languages you’re fluent in to notice errors in translation.

school districts and administrators are working hard to scare students out of protesting in the wake of the Parkland shooting.

don’t fall for their bullshit. you have the right to speak up and make yourself heard. a local superintendent doesn’t overrule the first amendment, much as they might like to.

and here’s an open invitation: I’m a teacher, recent PhD, one-time educational administrator (although not in a public school), and hopefully soon to be a college professor. if you need advice on navigating the crap your school is giving you or minimizing the impact they can have on your chances of getting into the college of your dreams, message me. I’ll help you find legal resources, write admissions essays, find ways to argue for your right to protest to your school board - whatever I can do.

please signal boost this, and if you’re someone who can help (civil rights lawyer? college admissions counsellor? experienced activist leader?), join in and let young activists know what you can do to help.

100 Days of Productivity - Day 19/100 February 18, 2018

Today was a really productive! I got done IPT homework, Modern history homework, edited a creative micro-writing task for advanced English and reorganised my desk cupboards (because they were a hot mess). I’ve also discovered UnJaded Jade, a beautiful YouTuber who I find so motivational and uplifting. If you haven’t already checked her out, what the heck have you been doing with your life? Make sure to go watch her videos, they’re amazing! Also, go follow @hannahtriesandcries, I’m loving their 100 Days of Productivity photos! All the best x

feb.06 | Good morning from Bangkok! The weather is nice today :D By the way, as a uni drop out who’s studying for retaking an exam, is it just me or high school social studies reading becomes suddenly so little compared to what I’ve read in my former major in uni…
