(1/3) 🧵The official UC Santa Cruz Twitter handle will be dark for the foreseeable future. We are concerned about recent changes that are allowing for the increased spread of misinformation and hate speech, in opposition to our campus values and Principles of Community.

forreal. I never knew the founder of The Black Panther Party earned a Ph.D in Social Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz. And I’ve never addressed him as such. I will enunciate that distinction from now on to make up for lost time. Dr. Huey P Newton

It's deer fawning season on campus so you're likely to see many of these cute little babies around! If you see a fawn on their own, look, keep your distance, and don't touch. It's common for fawn to be alone in the woods or meadow waiting for their mothers to return. 🦌🦌
