I’m so tired of waiting,
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two —
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.
Tired, Langston Hughes

Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest”
“...a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest."
What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition? provost.harvard.edu/faq-prot…

Some Law profs constantly want to set standards for their peers because, on their paved path to academia from a few Ivy league schools, they did not see the beauty of the other paths and are oblivious to the dangers that were encountered there.
Conformity breeds conformity.

🧵 So I guess the cat is out of the bag. I was fired from @Microsoft on Thursday, hours after a vigil we organized to honor and remember the lives of Palestinians killed by American-funded and Microsoft-empowered Israeli genocide.
