South Korean Women Are Powerful—and Powerless Korean women have helped topple governments but still have trouble gaining political office.

Despite the prominent role played by women in pro-democracy demonstrations in South Korea, there are barely any women in positions of political power, writes Hawon Jung. Published in collaboration with @fullerproject.org‬.

Mostly done with moving and I am absolutely exhausted

Oh haha, I didn’t even consider that

I dont know how to feel about this. It is probably good but he isnt exactly the most likeable person.

Oh so we got 3 minute videos now, did we?

Better late than never but I finally deleted my facebook and twitter accounts. I am also considering getting rid of whatsapp and instagram but this makes staying in contact with a lot of people quite difficult

Hey now, at least “knuffel” is an adorable word for the toy

literary fiction is crazy. i’ll be like “what’s that book about” and the answer is “a guy”

It’s utterly baffling to see the American press, democratic party, civil society and the American public just rollover like this

개인정보가 중국에 넘어가나 메타에 넘어가나 딱히 차이가 있나

They fixed the desyncs which i am really happy about

Yoon declared the martial law on December 3rd. 55 days later, he is indicted.

Those 55 days felt like 55 years. But considering that it was carried out without anyone dying, it’s not too late after all.

Most news papers here in the Netherlands (and Germany) at least seem to take it seriously but the reaction in the American press has been infuriating

Turns out that last year I frequently ate frozen blueberries that now turned out to have been contaminated by Hepatitis A(!) I haven't had them in months so I think I am out of danger plus I am pretty sure I got a Hepatitis A vaccination when I went to Korea in 2020.

Toen de rijke elite zag dat er winst te behalen viel in diversiteit en duurzaamheid, gingen ze daar massaal in investeren. Nu conservatief gedachtegoed lucratiever wordt, gaat het geld die kant op. Het ging nooit om sociale ontwikkelingen of ethische verantwoordelijkheid, altijd alleen maar om geld.

YouTube video by 한겨레 뉴스룸 경찰 총경 출신이 알려주는 ‘윤석열 체포 매뉴얼’...“(안에 있는게) 조폭이라 생각하면 충분히 할 수 있다”

이지은 전 총경의 제안. 나폴레옹 말대로 ”대군에게 병법은 필요없다“. 경호처는 300명이고 경찰은 13만. 의지만 있다면 충분히 체포가능하다.

This is painfully recognisable

Thank you for sharing! One of my lecturers during my MA used an ad which featured 이날치 as an example of a kitchy use of tradition and i still remember being so appalled at that because that band and others have just such a refreshing take on traditional music.

This week i finished @antonhur.com ‘s “Toward Infinity”. Which I thought was both deeply touching and thought provoking.

Do you think they will try to impeach the acting president over this?

I wish i had taken the time to learn the political vocabulary because i have idea what is happening lol

새해 복 많이받으세요!

Its grossly irresponsible for historians to sanctify Jimmy Carter bc of his "decency" and laudable post-Presidency. As the "human rights" President, he led a globe-straddling military empire allied to or supporting military dictatorships and authoritarian regimes around the world.

Was just thinking about this Louise Glück poem the other day. That last line—

It doesnt help that the romanisation can be so inconsistent. Like I cant tell from the english if its 훈 흔 or 헌 in this case :/
