  • I’m of two minds about this.

    Like. If you’re present in another country on a student Vida you’re essentially a guest and a certain level of respect, and gratitude, I feel, is important for that privilege. Even if the right to protest is guaranteed for that country’s citizens you are not citizens.

    That being said I think our shared duty to do the right thing should bear more weight than any sense of obligation or hospitality.

    Given the long dick of the US, rising racist sentiment, and the personal risk it takes to put yourself on the line for a greater cause, I think protesting is probably the right thing even if it is kind of rude.

    For better or worse activism can be a big part of campus life and I don’t think a culture of fear is conducive to a healthy academic sphere.

    When I was in uni I was constantly dodging massive protests / counter protests from Israelis / Palestinians, having lectures interrupted. It annoyed the hell out of me at the time but in hindsight I’m grateful to have lived in a place where people could fight for their views, even if they supported Israel and were stupid dipshits.






  • I was recently banned from reddit.

    On all my accounts.

    Across four email addresses.

    Simultaneously.

    Many of which haven’t been used in months. Years in some cases.

    So - banned on one account linked to one address. Accounts linked to four other email addresses were banned. None of those accounts have been logged into from any device the account I got banned from was being used on.

    The emails are linked to my phone number though.

    So. Two steps ahead of you. But. They are either using some kind of NLP to identify the way I write. Or google is sharing that the accounts are linked to my phone number.

    Anyway. Reddit can fuck right off. And I’ll be buying a burner phone with cash to make some accounts soon.
