i’ll never understand why we don’t call countries the names they actually call themselves 

like, i know this is a weeaboo-sounding example, but let’s start with Japan. They call themselves Nippon or Nihon depending on… i guess, the speaker’s accent??? or their level of formality while speaking??? I dunno. But we still called them Zipangu for like a few hundred years. And now we call them Japan. 

All because Marco Polo asked someone in China about that island over there and they said “oh that’s Cipangu” and Marco Polo was like “Oh, Zipangu, cool.” And then he went back to Italy and said “Y’ALL THERE’S THIS DOPE-ASS ISLAND CALLED ZIPANGU” and people back in Italy were like “An island called Giappone? Dope.” 

And this pattern of people mishearing people kept repeating until we got to “Japan.” 

And we still call them Japan even though we know better. Because fuck you, Marco Polo asked the wrong person 500 years ago and misheard them and we’re sticking to that, I guess. 

that was literally just the world’s worst game of telephone

Um, hey, Korean here

TRUMP HAD NO PART IN THE NORTH-SOUTH KOREA MEET AND THE END OF THE KOREAN WAR STAND-STILL.

HE AGITATED NORTH KOREA, THREATENED THEM, PUSHED THEM TO THE BRINK OF WAR, AND WAS A TOTAL DICK.

GUESS WHO CLEANED IT UP: YUP, SOUTH KOREA AND CHINA.

SO DON’T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT TRUMP DESERVES A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WHEN HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS POKING A SLEEPING BEAR WITH A STICK.

Do you ever wonder how many stories have been told about you? I don’t mean rumors or gossip. A story like “ one time I was at the mall and this girl dropped her hotdog but she picked it up and ate it” what if I’m that girl??how many times have people seen me do something I thought no one saw and is now being used as an ice breaker at a family dinner? Hmmmmmm?!???!

one time i was in this historical park in new york and i was climbing a tree in order to get a good photo and i fell out just as a family was walking past…two years later i ran into the mom at stop&shop and she gasped and said “oh my god, tree girl?” and i’ve never been the same since

Shout out to all the teens and kids who walked out of school today. It’s never easy to fight for something new, and have so many people screaming about how you don’t know anything or that you are brainwashed.

Here’s to the kids who have an opinion.

Here’s to the kids that are taking a chance.

Here’s to the kids that are changing the country, one step at a time.
