the education system is so fucking corrupt people become depressed over school, heck some people commit suicide over school yet the schooling system only gives a shit about the grades you get. your feelings aren’t appreciated and you’re told to do your work to get your mind off things. it really needs to change, you can’t work when you feel like shit and want to die.

An Irishman can have awful English skills and an extremely thick accent and people have no problem with it. He’s not from here! How could he possibly have /good/ English???

thisiswhiteprivilege:
White privilege is not being told that speaking about the fact that discrimination exists is an “inappropriate conversation” and “not fit to have said conversation” with a predominately minority class, because the white people feel threatened, and discriminated against, the way any POC does every day.

and one potential psychological explanation for why clowns are so scary is that they seem “less than human”

I keep finding out that more and more famous literary figures that I admire were racist and … I just can’t. It makes me feel stupid for not knowing they were racist and hurt because I really liked their work. *sigh* Imma just go curl up in a corner somewhere. #BlackEnglishMajorProblems

I’m trying to get a job, but I need job experience to get the job. So I pretty much need a job in order to get a job. WTF! -_-
