I Can Only Keep It Up For So Long Before I Shatter @tiny-red-ghost - Tumblr Blog

I just, uhg. I can’t stand people who act like education owes them anything. It’s a privilege for us to get an education no matter gender, race, economic standing, mental illness/learning difficulties, whatever. You are not owed a degree or the right to walk the stage at graduation. That you have to earn. And there’s equal opportunity for every student to earn those things. It requires showing up, and putting in at least minimal effort. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.

So when you get dropped from a class because you aren’t showing up, shut the fuck up and stop blaming the class/teacher/school. They didn’t fuck up your opportunity to get an education. You did. Grow a pair and go to class like the rest of us. You aren’t the only depressed/anxious/mentally ill/exhausted person out there. A lot of us are too, but we actually put in an effort so we can have a future we look forward to. It’s a shame you don’t.

I was wrong

you don’t know every ones story

or why they didn’t show up to class

or why their grades were slipping

but how do we measure the effort put in when the

circumstances aren’t parallel

can we give them the benefit of the doubt

long enough at least to hear their story

can we wait to form opinions after?

i forgot this used to be where i journaled lol oops

new stuff in new places

my life is still falling apart

but ya know

[insert whatever “they say” here]

uhhhh dudes, when you destroy public and government property, it’s your own tax money that’s paying for the repairs. Oh sorry, you wanted your money to being going towards one of the many things your party is fighting for? I guess you should have thought about that before being an impulsive dumbass...

The intention is different, clearly BLM is a different fight than what the conservatives are protesting for. But the result is ultimately the same. Destruction of property, violence, law enforcement instigated issues, and the other side calling them terrorists. There has to be a better way to accomplish things than protests that consistently prove to result in more harm than good.

My friends are all liberal, my parents are aggressively conservative, and I lived abroad from 2017-2020 so I’ve been watching most of this from an odd combination of feeling both involved and removed. I constantly hear both sides hurling mirrored accusations at eachother, too loud and angry to take the time to listen. People are furious, they’re allowed to be; but the current form of a call to action due to that anger is unjustifiably destructive and continues to make things worse. It’s frustrating, because everyone says they want this chaos to end yet it continues to be perpetuated. Both sides call each other “monster”, “terrorist”, “out of touch extremists”. You’ve chosen a side, fine! Cool! Honestly that’s great! Just don’t forget to attempt to understand the other perspective too. You don’t have to agree, just stop shouting at each other long enough to listen.

I’m not suggesting you sit idly by, just try a different approach because this one is not working.
