Guillermo has the best Spotify list 🤘🏾

“See, this is how it’s done America” posts regarding developments in Korea are not helpful.

Lol, what?

I just prefer to teach historically, admittedly coz it’s safer. I find most under students are there for the broad metaphysical issues that tie to their other concerns. But if I had my way, I’d be in a real lab.

People are like "there are no right wingers on blue sky" and i don't get it there are plenty of liberals on here

What’s a better X-odus D-day: Jan 1st or 20th?
