I’ve talked to survivors (some family members too) of the Japanese internment camps. As they were categorized by their answer to ‘do you swear absolute allegiance to the U.S,’ it feels similar to the ‘do you condemn Hamas’

literally my friends and i at berkeley are on the grass gossiping about boys
both funny and infuriating to see elected officials and media outlets portray Columbia University students who support Palestine as violent mobs when in reality, we are a bunch of nerds sitting on the grass.

it’s different, obviously, because Hamas is the resistance and Japan was its own imperial evil, but I mean more so in the loyalty test kind of way

so you’re not “pro-life” — you’re pro human life (& some part of me doubts that, too). let’s not forget that humans are the tiniest fraction of sentient life on earth.

queer relationships are often ugly and painful and the fetishized imagery of purity or saintliness is actually more degrading than people think
I don’t think “lesbians are attracted to women in a way that is sacred, nonsexual and pure, unlike disgusting straight men who are inherently predatory” is a particularly productive narrative to advance actually

As the last surviving leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Marek Edelman, said: “it is in Israel that our memory is in danger of being erased.”
Tomorrow is Yom HaShoah, the Jewish Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The international remembrance day was set for the date outside powers liberated Auschwitz.
The Jewish date marks the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Because we are fed up being victims.
We fight back.

like i believe i’m a deeply empathetic human but my humanity is met with such cruelty

if anyone wants to know why i think academic humanities is a privileged ass circle-jerk that moralizes some archaic consumption only historically available to aristocrats’ kids, see:
600 pages of reading per week (especially if most of those pages are from novels) is totally reasonable for full-time college students. That’s less than 100 pages per day. If a college student can’t read 100 pages per day without cheating they should not be in college.

Also I’d like to add that Gen-Z discusses/understands text in a way wildly different than scholarship is accustomed to
if you want to appeal to younger people you’ve got to join literature to younger peoples’ forms of knowing
Faculty friends, what are we doing about reading comprehension? I have more students struggling with getting through scholarly texts, understanding dense or theoretical articles, finishing the assigned reading each week, etc.

Claiming that the struggle of some are less worthwhile than others… it’s all implicated in the attempt to debase social change. Walk that pipeline and soon *nobody’s* struggle is worthwhile.

maturing is realizing that being disciplined and belittled for speaking up to older family members was fucked, actually
I fucking hate when older family members randomly start complaining about immigrants, trans people, "wokeness" etc at the dinner table, but if you disagree with them and challenge your rhetoric then everyone gets angry at you for "ruining the family dinner by making it political"

straight people talk about polyamory wayyy more than poly people. same with carnivores & veganism.
Do opinion writers know that romantic availability and food restrictions are actually topics that come up quite often in social settings?
