My sociology professor had a really good metaphor for privilege today. She didn’t talk about race or gender or orientation or class, she talked about being left-handed.
A left-handed person walks into most classrooms and immediately is made aware of their left-handedness - they have to sit in a left-handed seat, which restricts their choices of where to sit. If there are not enough left-handed seats, they will have to sit in a right-handed seat and be continuously aware of their left-handedness. (There are other examples like left-handed scissors or baseball mitts as well.)
Meanwhile, right-handed people have much more choice about where to sit, and almost never have to think about their right-handedness.
Does this mean right-handed people are bad? No.
Does it mean that we should replace all right-handed desks with left-handed desks? No.
But could we maybe use different desk styles that can accommodate everyone and makes it so nobody has limited options or constant awareness that they are different? Yes.
Now think of this as a metaphor. For social class. For race. For ethnicity. For gender. For orientation. For anything else that sets us apart.
WHY DOESN’T THIS HAVE MORE NOTES?
Because I posted it about 90 seconds ago, calm down.
if you lived your life never realizing until now some desks are in fact designed to be right handed then bonus revelation to how privilege works
We’re also more likely to die in industrial accidents because all the machines have been built for right handers. Use that in your metephor as you will.

HyunA Talks About Her One-Sided Crush On DAWN + How They Began Dating
On November 9, HyunA and DAWN (Hyojong) made their first variety show appearance as a couple on JTBC’s “Ask Us Anything!”
HyunA was the first to appear on set and she said shyly, “I brought my boyfriend today,” making the cast members react in surprise. Once both HyunA and DAWN had been introduced, Min Kyung Hoon asked, “How long have you two been dating?”
DAWN said that it was almost four years (the two went public in 2018, but have been dating since 2016) and Min Kyung Hoon immediately followed up with, “Who approached the other first?”
HyunA said, “I… This kind of hurts my pride, but… I waited for a year and a half.” In response to Kim Heechul’s question, she confirmed that that was how long she’d had a one-sided crush on DAWN. “It wasn’t a ‘some’ relationship. There was nothing there at all. I was just in love by myself.”
She added, “He would always act in a way that was different from what I expected. For example, it had been months but he didn’t ask me for my phone number, even though we were together every day. When we spent time together, he would always keep distance between us. That started to bother me.”
Kang Ho Dong asked, “Wasn’t it obvious that you liked him?” and HyunA replied, “I made it obvious but he said he never noticed.”
Kim Heechul intercepted a question from Min Kyung Hoon and asked how she finally made her confession. She said, “I bought a bottle of soju and took it home. I took a photo of it to let him know that I’d been drinking. He replied, ‘Just a minute’ and it turned out that he’d gone out and bought a bottle too. So that we could drink together even though we were apart. He also told me to drink slowly because he knew I wasn’t good at drinking. That made my heart beat faster.”
She continued, “I said to him, ‘I have something I want to tell you. I’ve liked you for a long time and I tried to let you know, because we weren’t in a situation where I could confess to you first. But you’re really bad at noticing things. I’m getting the courage up to confess to you, so please wait for me.”
“But he was really direct about it,” she concluded. “He said, ‘Why? Can’t we just date now?’ I was so happy that I couldn’t stay still, but I was also a little sad. I’d waited for so long but it happened so easily, so it felt like a dream rather than reality.”

[Spoken with fuzzy audio]: You guys are still using iPhones? [clicks multiple times to zoom in] Pathetic.
How the hell Bakugou..
This is Wonho.
First, I would like to apologize for not being able to keep the promise that I would only provide good memories and for causing pain to fans.
Furthermore, I apologize for causing concern to many people due to my personal issues.
I have received undeserving blessings and love while promoting as a MONSTA X member. I sincerely thank you for making precious memories for me. To the members who worked hard with me and stayed with me, I would like to tell them that I’m thankful and that I love them. [I would also like to show them] my apologetic heart.
There was a time when I was immature and have made big and small mistakes, but after becoming a trainee and making my debut, I stayed on track and worked hard to avoid being ashamed of myself.
I am announcing that I am leaving MONSTA X today.
I am apologetic for causing harm to the members due to the unfortunate issues related to me. More than anything, I am sorry for disappointing my fans, who believed in me.
I have reached this decision after seeing many people having a hard time because of me.
In addition to our members, I once again sincerely bow my head in apology to the fans who have believed in me and supported me.
Please give strength to MONSTA X. The members have nothing to do with me. I carefully ask that you at least give support and encouragement to the members. They are people who are too good to stop and get hurt like this because of someone like me. I am so thankful and apologetic to the staff, members, and lastly our fans who have allowed me to enjoy such happiness until this point.

first of all, how dare they push him to the edge, how dare they remove Wonho from his passion and his love. Wonho is sensitive and he gets stressed so easily, so how dare they make him feel so bad that he leaves Monsta X to protect his band’s image. how can they even bully someone so bad for them to leave their dream and their passion? i can’t comprehend it. second of all, i respect his decision and i don’t want to see any monbebes disrespecting his choice. he did it for the good of his band. he did it for his health to feel better. my heart hurts so much and it goes out to him and any other monbebes who are upset. wonho deserved all the love in the world and all he got in return was hatred. Hoseok even wrote a letter to apologise when he did absolutely nothing wrong, I can not believe the hatred, toxicity and negativity that plagues kpop and this world. it is disgusting. idols do so much for us and they get treated like this. idols are human and every single person needs to realise that. this injustice will not go unnoticed by monbebes, it will not go unnoticed by monsta x, and it will not go unnoticed by hoseok. Monsta X and Wonho deserve better. I am so sorry that this happened. Monsta X worked so hard on this newest album, they are so proud of it and for it to be responded to like this. how are they meant to perform like nothing’s happened? Lastly and most importantly, Wonho we will miss you and will always love you. Thank you Lee Hoseok, you’re forever in my heart.
Wonho be like
I understand why Wonho is leaving. I would too. The Kpop environment/nature is toxic. The standards and pressure they give these idols...the way people don't treat them like people...makes me sick. Opinions are options and words are words. But they all control the narrative and that narrative was up against one guy. He was probably like "Fuck this. I'm out." And you know what? That's exactly my mentality too. He's given me nothing but joy. I don't give a fuck about his past or even his personal life. THAT was our relationship--fan and idol. I'm not his mom or his judge. I'm not god. I'm not better or worse than him. I'm fucking human and I got flaws too. Every fucker on this planet has darks sides...everyone sucks. And they come out here acting like they have a right to judge. Wonho was the only person I believed in and he inspired me. He changed my fucking life and made me want to be better.
I will always love him and cherish the time he was a crucial member of Monsta X.
I love you, Hoseok and I hope you find happiness.

no one like literally nobody at all:
me: what if angels emit ionizing radiation
this is probably just going to be a bunch of pseudoscientific bullshit but hear me out anyway:
angels are often described as appearing to glow, either being surrounded by light or even made of it. (according to wikipedia) “sufficient quantities of strongly radioactive materials” can glow bright blue when they come into contact with the air.
several accounts of encounters with angels describe them as being difficult or even painful to look at. while this is often related to the intensity of the light they emit, those exposed to radiation often describe how they experienced what felt like ‘pins and needles’ and similar uncomfortable sensations.
angels are also sometimes described as giving off a scent often likened to burning metal or ozone. a common observation in the accounts of many people who experienced contact with radioactive materials is a metallic taste in the air
while the ability to strip the flesh from your bones and/or vaporize you in seconds is pure hollywood sensationalism unless you’re in the immediate vicinity of an incredibly high level of ionizing radiation (ie: a bomb), it’s not an impossible logical leap to assume that angels couldn’t manipulate the focus and intensity of their own personal auras to have that biblical ‘smiting’ effect. similarly, encounters with angels leading to the subjects of such encounters being aged rapidly or even dying within days or weeks afterwards due to mysterious wasting illnesses (usually attributed to shock) could be describing symptoms of radiation sickness.
following from the above, since it’s also used in small doses for medicinal purposes (particularly in cancer cases), it could be used to explain angels’ ability to heal mysterious illnesses
it can also be used in sterilization processes, which could link to how angels are often associated with cleanliness and ‘purity’
in conclusion:
STARSHIP DO YALL SEE THIS YALL CANT TAKE THIS BACK NOW IT’S ENGRAVED IN OUR VERY SOUL!!!!!!!!!
