Aengmu

Aengmu was the working name of a famed kisaeng of Daegu in the early 20th century. The name literally means "parrot." She was a leading donor to the National Debt Repayment Movement. Donating 100 won to the cause in 1907, she explained that it was inappropriate for her to donate more than a man; but if a man donated more, she would also donate more, even unto death.

gollark: When I had an issue with MKV playback in Firefox, I just converted them all to MP4s, since apparently if you set enough experimental ffmpeg options it supports a ton of codecs.
gollark: Which are a subset of MKVs.
gollark: Which is weird, since it can play WEBMs.
gollark: Firefox cannot, unfortunately, play MKVs.
gollark: Oh wait, I can just use Dendrite's *changelog*.
