LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO: our comrades at uchicago's gaza solidarity encampment are gathered around a speaker, listening to wkcr's coverage of the police raid happening at columbia.

meanwhile, just now on wkcr a field journalist trapped in pulitzer hall looking out a window reported a k9 unit is currently on site of the west lawn encampment.

thank you to the dishonest failing new york times for constantly erasing us and purposefully obscuring jewish participation in these protests just to make people less sympathetic to the movement opposing an ongoing genocide

In a new heinous Israeli crime, occupation forces killed a Palestinian man by throwing him off a roof in the town of al-Dhahiriya, south of al-Khalil in the occupied West Bank.Rebhi Mansiya's father said his son was heading to work early this morning before being detained by IOF in Batn al-Aqra' neighborhood. Mansiya was among other workers in a vehicle on their way to their jobs when an Israeli force pursued them and blocked their path. According to the father, occupation soldiers chased his son into a building, where they detained him after brutally assaulting him. They then dragged him to the roof before pushing him off the building, leading to his martyrdom. The Israeli aggression against the West Bank has skyrocketed since the launch of the war on Gaza last October. Palestinian towns and cities are subjected to daily raids, alongside extensive arrest campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries from Resistance confrontations with the occupation forces. A joint report issued by the Palestinian Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Club earlier this week revealed an alarming increase in the number of arrests since October 7, reaching 8480.

It’s easy to lose sight of some of life’s simple pleasures when you’re mired in the politics of a land you’re forbidden to enter. But every now and again we deserve to be reminded of just how beautifully the sea sparkles in the Gaza Strip, or just how high the rainbows over the West Bank’s grassy hills can go, or just how easy it is to visualize the earthy way of life in villages wiped away in 1948.

its crazy logging in here and seeing nothing about the fact that 25 students were arrested on the cal poly humboldt campus during a sweep at 3am last night that came after days of psychological warfare from administrators and police, many of which were called in from outside the county. we’re a very isolated and small population up here in the redwoods and our student population is extremely poor with a huge percentage of students that don’t have a permanent place to live, especially after last year when a ton of students were displaced from campus after an administrative decision to clear upperclassmen from campus to make way for incoming students that never came. bails are being set at $10,000 for the students and faculty that were arrested!!!! cops here have a history of brutality and the president of the university is a sniveling little man who calls his students criminals and refuses to meet with or address them directly

video game secret: there's clever wordplay hidden in the title of the game "nintendogs". the word "dogs" is cleverly added on to the name "nintendo" to form the word "nintendogs". this is actually a reference to the concept of "puppies"

Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

“I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn’t do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What’s that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-”

As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses
