no. okay? no.

I'm ostensibly studying for a phonetics exam tomorrow. I mean I am. I just keep getting angrier in the meantime, because look, look, as a couple of smart people have said, the following three things can all be true

1. Wikileaks is doing important work (about which I am alternatingly ambivalent and appreciative, but that's neither here nor there)

2. The international warrant for this particular sexual assault case is politicized (how seriously do they usually take sexual assault crimes in my country? NOT VERY.)

3. Julian Assange raped someone.

All of these things can be true.
