Recognition of other people’s humanity is an extremely basic standard that some of these protesters failed to live up to. It doesn’t hurt, and only helps, to remind people of that.

It was appalling to see the way protesters taunted those mourning the October 7th victims. That is not activism.

By the way before people shriek that there are actually 11: theres a weird non specified “Africa” pavilion next to Mexico that I’m surprised hasn’t been subject to cancellation yet, but it’s fair game for counting

Apparently you have followers who can attest to the strength of a France Grand Marnier orange slushy. So attest away

It’s wrecked me tbh

He couldn’t. It’s impossible. It’s 12 countries!!!!! And the drinks are not weak

I cannot recommend this story from @ejdickson.bsky.social enough - devastating and thorough reporting on a very upsetting corner of the internet:

Thank you so so much

There was a title IX investigation. It was closed after a month bc according to the Kowalskis, UF determined the video was shot off campus (even tho it was shared on campus WiFi, and UF students were later found to have posted it on X.) To date none of the accused have been removed from campus

This is a story about an incredibly brave person whose life has been ruined by some of the worst people humanity has to offer.

“It could literally be anybody. It’s not mean or troubled guys doing it, or guys who need validation. It’s guys with wealthy families and support systems and college educations.”

There’s no incentive for platforms like X, for instance, to do that. They get way too much engagement. Maddie’s video was viewed 8.5 million times on X just a few hours after it was posted
