STUDYINGROSES

My most recent spread!! I had so much fun with it, and I’m really happy with how it turned out 🥺 i hope you guys like it too 😎💗 i spent a really long time trying to draw the title of the series and even though it’s kind of messy, I’m pretty satisfied with the results :)

Sure I’ll sum up.

So there was a very good peaceful protest by…. Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.

Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about news, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.

They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.

Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”

TURNS OUT.

ALL OF THIS.

WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.

Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.

Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.

The President just used a Bible and one of the churches of my diocese as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our church stands for. To do so, he sanctioned the use of tear gas by police officers in riot gear to clear the church yard.

I am outraged.

The President did not pray when he came to St. John’s; nor did he acknowledge the agony and sacred worth of people of color in our nation who rightfully demand an end to 400 years of systemic racism and white supremacy in our country.

Hi y’all!

I have a big question for this community. Did any of you guys ever struggle with the idea of going to med school?

Because I’m going through it right now. I’m really interested in forensic pathology and have taken the steps to start studying for the mcat, research schools, and set up an advising appointment with the pre-health department at my school. But the thought of paying over $100,000 (I’m in the US) to go to school for four more years is hard. Idk why buy right now I’m so exhausted and I’m tired of working my ass off without seeing any rewards. I’m so so broke and idk if I can be this broke for four more years, then average broke while in residency. It’s especially hard with how expensive the MCAT and prep materials are, not to mention to mental expense.

Can someone please tell me why my school absolutely hates me.

So we started a new semester at school and I was supposed to do college classes so I had gotten my schedule early. Today I went to my homeroom and they gave me a completely different schedule. None of my college courses were on there so I started asking questions. Turns out they wanted me to do my courses during the afternoon but they didn't want to notify the college. I ended up with really confused emails from my professor asking where I was. I then explained that it wasn't my fault and it caused a lot of drama with my counselor and the head of the college.
