T- MINUS 4 HOURS TIL KOMET EXAM...
And I've been catching up on what I missed re: the post election protests and demonstrations in Iran. I think it would be redundant to have to state again how horrifying it is to read about what is happening at the moment, to watch the YT videos and just be sitting here, being able to do nothing of real import but just know about it, and still have the luxury of continuing with the little routines of ones daily life. I finally got to watch the Neda video, after spending a good while working up the nerve to click on it and you really can't deny the bone-deep chill you feel after watching it, that fact that people are actually dying for this. I can't imagine being in that situation, being that brave.
I haven't been commenting or posting much about this, because I don't really know what to say that doesn't sound trite or inarticulate and have been basically just lurking and reading and reading some more. I think the majority of my flist posting about this is much more eloquent and up-to-date on the subject than I am anyways, but nevertheless-- here are links to the latest LiveThread #7 on ontd_political, which is insanely comprehensive as always, and the Huffington Post liveblogging entry, if you haven't seen them already.
Now I am off to try and not fail my exam today :(
