The NYPD Has Forced All Journalists To Leave Columbia Campus And Started To Make Arrests Of Students

The NYPD has forced all journalists to leave Columbia campus and started to make arrests of students forming a human chain around Hind’s Hall. They are making their way into the hall that the students have occupied in solidarity with Gaza and in honour of Hind Rajab. The police are also blockading students, medics and press inside buildings so they can not document and bear witness.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Sally Is Going Through A Rough Time Right Now, But Fortunately She Has A Partner Who Has A Sixth Sense

Sally is going through a rough time right now, but fortunately she has a partner who has a sixth sense for when she needs some TLC. Still, not everyone has that luxury… so always be sure to be kind to one another, and reach out when you need it.

I hate the way our world is built around money.

I genuinely hate how our entire society is built around money. We don't see people as human anymore, we see them as assets or burdens. We are all alive and I firmly believe that:

Immigrants are human;

Trans people are human;

People of color are human;

Queer people are human;

Intersex people are human;

People of any religion or no religion are human;

Every single human deserves the right to Healthcare, food, shelter, clothing, education and BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. Politicians see people as burdens, money or insignificant pawns in their game. This needs to stop. We all deserve to not only exist and live, but truly thrive. While the rich get richer, the rest of the world gets left behind. We are all equal, so we need to start fucking acting like it.

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

If I may add to the discussion, I think a big issue with online activism is that people are so concerned with looking like a good person that they don't understand the reasons why someone might do something that technically goes against leftists principles. It's so easy to judge someone for not boycotting certain establishments that are objectively bad (and I'm all for boycotting if possible don't get me wrong!) but people often seem to forget that not everyone has the means to boycott. Where I live, the only way I can get basic necessities is often through Amazon or other big retail chains. I'm not proud of it but I literally don't have a choice right now. Like you and a couple of the other anons have said, a big issue with online activism is that people are so concerned with doing things that they believe are the markers of a good person that they forget that part of being a good person means being open to conversations and understanding why people do or don't do things. And this includes the people they have deemed as "bad people."

Yes that is a good point! 'There is no ethical consumption under capitalism' is not an excuse to never even try to be ethical in your choices, but it's also not actually a progressive position to demonize people with no effort put into understanding their practical, structural realities.
