Starbucks workers AND Amazon workers are on nationwide strikes during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. I truly hope their bosses are sweating bullets :)

Several faculty and students were given this designation with no explanation of why other than “violation of university policy.”
In my case, the violation could only have been filming interactions between campus cops, administrators and students during a peaceful sit in.

NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control.
On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours.

In 1998-99 I was part of a group independent study project at my university (Brown University) where we designed our own trans studies class and put together a syllabus and required reading. Amazingly, the website and syllabus for the class are still online:

Navigating the immediate future is going to require a lot of folks to adjust the way they view social media behaviors. The function of "following", the content people choose to prioritize. You will no longer get much mileage out of trying to glean a person's investment from shallow activity.

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

Criticism of Israel and demands for accountability are not ‘intolerance’ and BlueSky must explain this madness or risk destroying its burgeoning credibility

If anyone's looking to prove to me that they're "Safe," wearing an N95 when you're out in public is a real start w/ material rather than performative benefits. Bonus: the fash have already proved they're unlikely to try to false-flag co-opt it, but if they do then at least they'll be fucking masking
