Spotted on my campus today!!

cornellactivities: So here's what you missed on campus! 🎶 @ darrencriss spent the evening with a sold out Statler Auditorium audience. He shared stories and advice from throughout his life and career, played some games created by @cornellevents and @capsu.cornell, and gave us a 6 minute medley performance of songs throughout his career! 🫶🏻 Thank you CUPB and CAPSU working with Darren to come to campus!

can we please stop with the conspiracy that the government wants to ban tiktok because of pro-palestine content

do you realize how close that sounds to accusations of "zionists controlling the media" (i don't care how you frame it, it's an antisemitic conspiracy theory, please stop)

the us has wanted to ban tiktok for years because the company that owns it is chinese. they literally would let things go on as usual if they sell tiktok to an american company. that's it.

the primary driver is racism, not a conspiracy to shut down activism

my mom recently reminded me that when i was in 5th grade my teacher would periodically report to her that i was "sneaky" because i would ask to use the bathroom during class and instead go retrieve things from my locker that i had forgotten to bring with me

and even at the time she thought this was ridiculous and obviously not representative of an intrinsically deceitful nature, fortunately for me. but it's really extra ridiculous looking back on it now as a 28-year-old research professional who has to double back into the room i just left for some combination of gloves, tube rack, ice bucket, or samples at least once a day, a quality absolutely no one cares about or would ever make me justify to another person and which i therefore don't have to tell contrived lies about

Brilliant minds think alike on Gaza

... both Jewish and non-Jewish students, inspired by anti-Apartheid protests in Beinecke Plaza decades earlier, had gathered for a week-long sit-in to demand that Yale divest the portion of its endowment invested in the stocks of military contractors, which make the weapons Israel is currently using in its war with Hamas in Gaza. The students were protesting under the Occupy Beinecke coalition, which includes Yale Jews for Ceasefire, a group of Jewish students dedicated to fighting for a ceasefire in Gaza as well as sustainable peace and equality within the region.

The lesson will be to reject the abuses of force; the abuses of authority; to embrace respect for people's differences and hopefully, a retreat from politicizing or pitting against each other what are ultimately universal values of peace and the betterment of all for all, and get to enjoy them instead. One hopes. There is an awful lot of pain and hatred trying to be implanted at the moment, and it's going to take a superhuman effort to forgive after the madness passes. We will have to rally around the positives and focus towards the future.

Imagine how many people JUST LIKE HER are in ICU, TRAUMA, BIRTH AND DELIVERY, NICU, STEP-DOWN UNITS, PYSCH WARDS, ELDERLY CARE, OBGYN, CARDIOLOGY, POST OP CARE, etc…

i think people who ignore janitors are so evil. something about the upbringings or lives of people who don't wave don't say "hey how're you doing?" "thanks so much!" don't even LOOK at the people cleaning the spaces they're eating shopping sleeping urinating in is so hypothetically horrible in my mind. also while we're at it, give full-time sanitization workers in the u.s. 70k a year plus benefits to start.

Guys I just got the FUNNIEST hate message

[Image Description: a tumblr reply from @/barefootangell saying "You guys remind me of those Westboro Baptist Church group [sic]. Harassing people who don't share you're [sic] beliefs and being very cruel and annoying. You're just like them." End of description]

HOW do you not hear yourself. The (queer, for the record) person who is advocating against people playing antisemitism simulator set in terfland is just like the WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH.
