M recently remarked that I haven’t been posting anything other than art and poetry (and korean dramas), so here is a rant. No editing. 💕💕💕 Lots of redundancies. Lots of sense. (Hi.) … Privilege protects me from the consequences of my liberalism.

I want to be a doctor (sexism in medicine is not a myth).
Cheers to the future.
i’ve been thinking lately (on language, 1984 and the ‘bakla’)
I’ve been thinking more and more lately about language, and specifically their role in the formation of ideas and the creation of avenues of discourse.
