FRUITBAT

my name is gabbie. i am a college student studying french, sociology and japanese. i don't like to remain stationary, if i could, i would spend every semester in a different state, country and college. i don't know whats stopping me save for my own cowardice.


here you'll find mostly pictures (none of which are mine unless noted otherwise) that interest me, food porn, excerpts from books i am reading or want to read, random memes and occasionally something insightful or political.

i am fascinated by languages, culture, words, sociology, politics.

if you're a polyglot, please follow me!

Students across U.S. plan to protest education funding cuts

redguard:

Dissatisfaction, anger and an uncertain future have led professors and students in California and across the country to call for a day of action Thursday to defend education at state colleges and universities.

Honora Keller, a fifth-year student at San Francisco State University, has to work three jobs to keep up. “I have to eat, buy books and [pay] tuition, and I’m still taking out more loans,” she said.

“People are taking semesters off to save for tuition. It’s a common conversation you hear everywhere on campus,” Keller said.

Similar conversations are taking place across the country as states slash funding not only for colleges, but also for elementary and secondary education. That’s why protests of various kinds are planned Thursday in at least 29 states.

HEY CHRIS…THIS IS YOU. dearest chris christie… “cut your waist before you cut our budget.”
