Richard Campbell Gansey III, hunter of Glendower, from Maggie Stievater’s “The Raven Cycle” who I became very attached to for embodying some of my favorite ideas expressed in the books, such the desire to be KNOWN and the struggle of trying to make one’s outsides match their insides. I’d also like to note that the final line of Chapter 64 of “The Raven King” punched me in a way that was haunting and lovely and profound despite only being four words. This series is a gorgeous and incredible creature.

Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up

I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.

When I was 21.

Listen to Neil Young’s “Ohio.” It’s one of those songs you can’t help but hear on Classic Rock stations, but you might never have really LISTENED to it before.
