A Serious Episode About Serious Things

Classroom Crush

And despite my tone, I am being serious!

TW: public assault, blood, discussion of drug use and overdose

I tried my best to be as candid as possible about some stuff I'm still processing, as they say...but I hope this can all be an ongoing conversation, and I hope we can figure some stuff out together? Ultimately I hope we can love each other enough to challenge the way we've been taught to relate...And to recognize who and what benefits from an unending cycle of violence. Safety is a relationship between people, and it cannot be realized by a system built on the oppression of those people.
