i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

Zukka Lilo and Stitch au!

Credit goes to @badgerfrogzukka for this wonderful wonderful au. Here's the post!

[ID: Digital drawings of atla characters drawn over screencaps from the Lilo and Stitch movie. The first picture is of Druk and an aged-down Azula sitting at a table at the luau. Azula frowns and holds a crayon, and Druk sits with his eyes wide open. The next panel shows Sokka and Zuko. Sokka is shirtless, frowning concernedly, and wearing his choker and a moon necklace. He says, “That is absolutely not a dog. Zuko is holding a tray of drinks and has a flower in his hair. He grimaces and says, “It… might be a dog?” Sokka replies, “But it’s not, though.” In the next panel, Azula and Druk are standing in front Zuko, who is still in bed. Azula lifts Druks jaw, and he breathes fire. Then, She closes his mouth. Zuko’s mouth opens in surprise. Azula opens Druk’s jaw and he breathes fire again. Zuko looks at Azula, confused. The next panel shows Sokka, smiling and holding two surfboards in front of Zuko and Azula. Sokka says, “I might not be a doctor, but I know there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves.” In the final panel, Zuko and Sokka are running down a street. Zuko says, “Oh, Sokka, I owe you one!” Sokka smiles and says, “That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even!” End ID.]

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
