This kicks ass. Disabled activists are protesting for their rights in South Korea by literally just riding the train during rush hour.

[Image Description: Four screenshots of the linked article with the text presented in order.

First image: Title of the article: "Wheelchair Users Block the Seoul Subway as the Right Takes Power" / Subtitled: "The hostility of the conservative party has pushed the disability-rights movement to the center of a larger fight for minority groups in South Korea." / Byline: "By Lee Hyun Choi”

Second image: Disability rights activists, many of them in wheelchairs, have been staging subway protests to demand accommodations on public transit. And on this day the demonstrators chained themselves to each other and to a portable ladder, reenacting a 2001 protest where activists chained themselves to the subway tracks. Now they shouted, “Pass a budget for disabled citizens! No rights without a budget!” They boarded trains in groups, which requires transit workers to install and uninstall wheelchair ramps, thus causing delays. A few of the activists had recently shaved their heads in public, a monkish ritual of sacrifice.

Fourth image, which has the next paragraph according to the full article: Lee Hyoung-sook, who leads a local advocacy group, was among those with her head shaved. At Gyeongbokgung station, she tried to board the train en route to Hyehwa station. Subway workers brought out a ramp so her wheels wouldn’t get stuck in the large gap between the platform and the car. Four more wheelchair users waited their turn to board in other sections of the train. While workers moved their one ramp around to get every wheelchair activist on board, the subway doors kept closing in on them. "Fellow citizens, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience," Lee told her fellow passengers."

Third image, which has the last paragraph in the excerpt according to the article: "We are waiting to hear back from President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol’s transition committee by April 20 on how they plan to ensure our basic human rights," she explained. (April 20 is Korea’s National Day to Abolish Disability Discrimination.) "We hope to hear that the new government will do the bare minimum to safeguard our rights. But if we don’t, disabled citizens will resume boarding rush-hour trains again."

one of the worst adhd things ever is wanting to trick yourself into doing tasks so you make up fake deadlines to give yourself a sense of pressure but then your adhd goes ‘is that a Real deadline with immediate consequences or a fake one to make our life more organized? :/‘ and then you go ‘it’s a fake one to make our life more organized 😔’ and then the task doesn’t get done

literally i just can’t comprehend any interpretation of hamlet that doesn’t put grief at the center like. hamlet’s father died and he is actively grieving throughout the play that is the driver of all of his behavior. “is hamlet actually crazy or is he putting on a performance” is a boring question to me because grief is a type of insanity. grief makes you feel like you are performing even when you are all alone. it makes you feel like you’re seeing things it makes you feel completely alone it makes you cling to the people around you it makes you push them away it makes you angry and sad and hamlet wants to kill claudius for replacing his father and taking his mother from him as much as he wants to kill him for revenge.

Hamlet falling to the floor crying and looking at the place where the wall meets the floor and realising he didn’t paint it very well.

oh, the moment that I knew I was well and truly fucked for this series was the moment getting off the shuttles when Gideon was holding the 7th and got drawn on and she feels Harrow’s fingers pressed against her skull. she thinks great, Harrow is about to be a massive bitch right now but instead Harrow defends her and Gideon thinks okay sure unified front, but she’ll be a bitch in private about it but Harrow just lets it go and doesn’t mention it.

It’s such a compelling scene on the first read through and the exact moment I went from “oh I love this” to “this is consuming my soul” but it’s so much more better on the second read.

Harrow, standing in the light of the sun for the first time in her life realizing

1) this man is a corpse

2) the 7th can’t have actually fainted considering she’s still controlling her dead cavalier’s corpse to draw on Gideon which means this was a set up to garner pity

3) there is no way to accuse the 7th of this without looking insane

4) that she has not earned one bit of trust from Gideon to tell her any of this and will simply need to keep track of this and manage the entire situation by herself

It made me go insanely the first time and every subsequent time and every time I even think about Harrow’s fingers pressed into the back of Gideon’s skull, realizing how well and truly fucked this whole situation is before they’ve even gotten inside, having spent a lifetime taking out all of her hurt and rage onto Gideon and then realizing abruptly exactly what that means

ohh??? my GOD?????? the locked tomb meta much thoughts to think!!!!!!

Pondering the fact that Harrow spent her life looking after a corpse that she loved, and was willing to do that forever to see if she would ever wake up.

Pondering the fact that her biggest act of devotion to Gideon was preserving her in a corner of her mind she couldn’t access, and was willing to live like that forever just to keep her somehow.

Pondering how to Magnus, her plan to keep Gideon is seen as somewhat selfish and childish.

Pondering how to Harrow, a tombkeeper, making her own body a mausoleum is probably the closest thing she could ever think of to a monumental act of love.

Pondering…

I’m glad that Tumblr added, in short order, the ability to pay to hide sponsored posts and the ability to pay to sponsor a post, thus escalating the screenshot-and-add-to-reblog tags peer review process described by op to entire posts for certain Bourgeoisie users.
