    There's two comments about Kenya in here. Where the hell do you see anything about Kenya in the screenshot?!

    KES is kenyan currency and is found in the prior post to this series. You can find it in the OPs post history.

    There’s a watermark on the page of a TikTok account… “heiress_ke”. Seems like a Kenyan account.

    I suspect those are bots pulling in context from that username somehow?

    Or folks who get off on providing zero context for their musings, who can say

    Edit: seems like this is one of a series of posts.

    She has to defend her Masters thesis? Over here in the UK, you only have to formally defend Doctorate level theses.

    Kenya's system must be a bit more rigorous than ours.

    This one seems different from the others, in that it’s implying dishonesty instead of just creativity; disdain for pointless rules of propriety that serve as a class filter to keep academia inaccessible to people who didn’t grow up knowing the expectations; inadequate advisement; and/or flakiness.

    I figured it out though! The professor is writing to her Faith in Humanity after dealing with various students in different situations, not one glorious, completely oblivious to social cues, Mr. Magoo-ass shitbird.
