My poetry from English class lol

Sunflower on the Sill

She set on the sill

A single sunflower.

She gazed on it fondly 

At every hour.

Paid it every attention,

High up in her tower

She sighed to it softly

When time did allow her.

Sitting at her window, 

She tended it often.

With fond affection,

Her heart it should soften.

She looked at it longingly,

Into love, she had fallen.

But swiftly, time passes

And loves are forgotten.

Ever longsuffering, 

The sunflower waited.

Slowly disenchanted,

As she became jaded.

And so the sunflower

Withered and faded.

Left to the death

She had created.

She left on the sill

A single sunflower.

Abandoned to time,

She left it to sour.

She grew bored so quickly.

The flower bled for how her

Such fickle attentions 

Left it to while away the hours.

See, the sunflower is love,

The girl, the lover.

A good thing once lost

Might be lost forever.

A love gone neglected

Isn’t often recovered.

Abandoned to time,

The sunflower so suffered.

Ignored and overlooked,

Betrayed by the tale she had spun,

The sunflower wilted,

The story over before it begun.

But hard things can make you stronger.

So when all was said and done,

When the girl turned her back,

The sunflower turned to the sun.

so sick of seeing people throwing hands in the comments sections of literally everything. i might disagree with what you have to say (which, btw, i'm really not following you on ig to hear your political opinions), but calling someone out on their ig post is not the way to handle it

I'm gonna elaborate on that, because I feel like ranting (again, sorry). So I had to buy that french textbook that was like $270, right? Well I thought there was going to be a physical access code that came with it (btw, it's not even a bound book. It's literally looseleaf). So when I signed up for it I used my school email, not realizing that IT FREAKING BLOCKS ALL INCOMING EMAILS FROM OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM unless you've emailed them first. So I can't find my $160 online access code for my life and I'm sitting in my room at 12 am trying to figure this whole mess out. Eventually I sucked it up and wrote an email to the publisher (which I hate doing), but i have very little hope that they will help me out at all since ig technically this whole stupid thing is my own fault. And then to top it all off I cried so hard thinking about how much of a disappointment I am that my nose started bleeding and I got blood on my t shirt :(

The education system and textbooks are an absolute racket in general, but this year for two of my *highschool* classes I (or more accurately, my parents) had to buy two $250+ books because you couldn't get a used one since you needed the digital access code for the publisher's software, which is literally the stupidest thing I have *ever* heard

Saw some people talking about the minimum wage and I felt like saying something.

I'm never going to be able to explain capitalism/the minimum wage more eloquently than this.

The american dollar is going to keep going down in value. The only thing it's backed by is the strength of the american economy, which, as we all know, is not particularly stable, so the dollar keeps going down in value (bitcoin ftw). That's inflation. Here's the deal: raising minimum wage doesn't do anything if the rich people keep getting richer. This is an oversimplification of a complex situation, but what happens is, when money is distributed, the people who are highest on the totem pole are always going to get most of that money. To explain that further, if $7 from the federal reserves is given out among three people/groups (for example: a wealthy banker working in DC who makes $5/year, a middle class business man who makes $3, and a grocery store cashier who makes $1 (obviously this is extremely scaled down)), the dc banker might get $4 of that money, the businessman $2, and the cashier $1. Now, the cashier is going to be super happy because that just doubled their wage, right? Well, yes, to a certain extent, but they just got A LOT poorer in reality. It might help in the short term, but in the long run, minimum wage workers will be considerably poorer, relative to the upper class (the gap between classes just keeps increasing, at first, the banker makes $4 more than the cashier, then he makes $7, then $10, ect). Another point to bring up is that increasing minimum wage will inevitably lead to layoffs due to businesses not being able to support as many workers and an increase in product price, further fueling inflation. The other thing is that minimum wage has never been intended to support an entire family, which a lot of people try to do and then get upset when it doesn't work. Obviously, no hate to everyone out there working with what they've got, but that's just the reality of the situation. I recognize that often people have no other option, but I'm so tired of hearing people complain about capitalism and the minimum wage when they don't have any idea whatsoever about how it works. There's a reason that socialism has been tried so many times. It looks really really good on paper, but because of human nature, it will never work out how it seems like it should. Obviously, I'm no expert, so feel free to correct me if I'm glaringly wrong about anything (stole this the banker/cashier analogy from my math teacher).

Anyway, sorry if this was super rant-ish.

And thank u for coming to my tedtalk

hot take: instead of asking about your body count, people should ask about your book count
