I'm not USAmerican so I didn't know about these places until fairly recently

Someone on Hexbear posted a link to this comic a while back which is both really good and really harrowing: (CW all kinds of abuse) https://elan.school/

Honestly I read most of it in the span of a day and I spent most of that day crying my eyes out, it's just all so so cruel

Idk it's late at night and I had some other rambling thoughts but I'm just going to summarise them with death to America and let's make sure the future's better
