I need feminism because I shouldn’t be asked who is the man in mine and my girlfriend’s relationship. I hold open doors for her, and she takes care of the house spiders.

June 28, 1914 - Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie are assassinated by Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is a seminal event in world history because, of course, it directly led to the outbreak of World War I.
However, if your history classes in high school were anything like mine, you probably never learned anything more about the reasons behind the assassination other than “the Balkans were a tinderbox”. Of course it’s impossible for a high school history class to cover everything that ever happened in the world, but it is a bit frustrating that so little time is devoted to the branches of events that made the Balkans such a tinderbox in the first place.
The very basic gist of the situation was: the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the Balkans for centuries, was collapsing. Imperial powers saw their opportunity to expand into the area, but at the same time, local nationalist groups didn’t want to miss the chance to assert their own independence. It made for a dangerous combination - there had already been two wars in the Balkans within just a few years prior to World War I.
Serbia became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1878. At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire annexed Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia, both regions with large ethnically Serbian populations. Many ethnic Serbs wanted to expand their territory and free their brethren from imperialist rule. Some of those Bosnian Serbs created the Black Hand, the organization that ultimately successfully assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. They and other nationalist groups had made a number of attacks on Austro-Hungarian officials, and when they learned that the Archduke would be visiting Sarajevo to inspect local troops, he was too important a target to pass up.
Gavrilo Princip was a 19-year-old Bosnian Serb whose goal was to create an independent nation of South (Yug) Slavs - Yugoslavia. Because of his young age, he was not subject to the death penalty. Instead, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but he died three years later of tuberculosis.

Tumblr has infected my brain

So, today I’m taking my environmental test and our environmental teacher is a lovely man and everything, but he’s a terrible IB teacher. So we get to this question on the test, where there’s a graph and they want to know if this graph could represent a terrestrial foodchain. And I’m like

Excuse me?

So I end up bullshitting a response that goes something like

“no, it could not represent a terrestrial ecosystem because ~~there’s not enough energy~~ AMERICA”

And then, later on, we have to fill out this fucking chart of transformational farm systems or some shit that I KNOW FOR A FACT we did not learn about. And at this point, its like

I spent the rest of the testing period picking at my split ends and daydreaming about college. I have my IB history test tomorrow.

My Spanish teacher from last year gave me some very kind words of encouragement which was actually the best thing ever because really, if I can pass Spanish with a 5, then I can do absolutely anything. And even if I dont get my IB diploma

So I’ve been staring at Mao’s Last Dancer on netflix instant for a few months, trying to find the motivation to watch it. We started it today in class because we had a sub and OH MY JESUS IT WAS SO GOOD. like

Besides sitting and drooling over the gorgeous dancing and the costumes and the AMAZING choreography. Hang on, the choreography was like

And anyway it involves communist China, and usually that means LOTS OF CREYS. So I’m not going to spoil it, but there was this one part and I was all, IM NOT GONNA CRY……

(yes there was that one cliche moment where the girl yells “I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE” and throws herself onto a pillow)

BUT ANYWAY IT WAS A REALLY AWESOME MOVIE AND I CRIED AND IM GONNA GO WATCH IT AGAIN
