The actions & lack of actions by @cornelluniversity.bsky.social in not protecting the survivor of a horrific rape & also shielding the perpetrators is so horrendous that we are blacklisting them & all events held there from this project Full notification here drive.google.com/file/d/1khUH...

It has been brought to our attention up a few times and we would be remiss to ignore it. Cornell University has again shown it is an unsafe institution for women.

We are just a small project that’s not even based in the US but we can’t ignore what has happened. Not only have Cornell failed to protect the survivor, they have shielded the perpetrators of a horrific gang rape.

In light of everything that has transpired we are taking the step of blacklisting Cornell University and taking the additional step of making it public. We know it’s not much but it is what is within our power to do in this situation.

What this means:
We will not highlight or promote events happening at Cornell University.
We will not highlight or promote events organised by Schools or departments or Cornell University Press at other locations.
We will not highlight nor promote book launches or talks about books published by Cornell University Press.

At this time we are not extending it to all faculty. So if a Cornell University faculty member is speaking elsewhere at an event organised by different org. We will still promote that (assuming we see it, it’s relevant etc).

We didn’t really want to take this step as over the years we have been in operation, Cornell East Asian Studies, Cornell University Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) & other orgs we appreciate have held a lot of informative events at or with Cornell University that we have learned a lot from & Cornell University Press has published books that have developed our understanding BUT the Cornell University’s actions (and lack of action) are beyond the pale. To these departments, parts of Cornell University, we urge you to use what institutional power / influence you have to push the administration to do better.

Massive, massive range of changes in this bill. Fucking hell. Godspeed, everyone! Government press release here: www.canada.ca/en/one-canad...

The proposed legislation will:
• Build Canada Now: Get projects in Canada built faster by ensuring federal reviews and decisions are completed within one year of a proponent submitting comprehensive application.
• The legislation will establish clearer, simpler, and more predictable processes for project proponents and Indigenous groups participating in project consultations, giving investors the certainty they need to put capital to work and build in Canada.
• This will accelerate investment, strengthen our economy, enhance energy security, and create high-paying careers for Canadians while protecting nature and the environment, and in full respect of Indigenous rights.
• Keep Canada Moving: Strengthen Canada's trade corridors and ports to move Canadian goods faster, unlock new markets, and build more resilient supply chains.
• Canada will formally designate strategic trade corridors, remove bottlenecks, and establish a transportation project office to coordinate federal permitting and advance priority transportation projects within one-year.
• Legislative changes will also modernise port governance, advance new trade digitalization strategies, reduce administrative burdens, and create clearer, more predictable rules that attract private investment and make our ports more competitive.
• These measures will help Canadian businesses build, and connect them to more global markets, while maintaining high standards for safety, security, and sustainability.
• Canada Strong For All: Modernise the federal labour framework and strengthen protection for workers in federally regulated industries.
• Changes to the Canada Labour Code will strengthen collective bargaining by helping parties address issues earlier, reach negotiated agreements, and resolve disputes while fully protecting the right to strike.
• Additional measures will modernise federal labour protections to keep pace with a changing economy.
• The government will also be adding 100 new health and safety officers t…

A new week is almost here #MilkTeaAlliance & here is the events 🧵for it As pride month ends. we reiterate our commitment to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, our friends, allies & comrades whose rights & existence continues to be threatened. While the month ends, the fight doesn't🌈 More in 🧵 1/

Short Statement of Solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ Community.
From the Milk Tea Alliance Calendar Team.

In all the struggles & contexts we’ve seen under the #MilkTeaAlliance banner over the years, consistently LGBTQIA+ members are a core and inseparable part of them, often at the forefront and also doing the heavy lifting of admin, organising & providing care. Not only do they face increasing targeting & suppression by power structures & governments, bigotry & discrimination against LGBTQIA+ exists within our movements.
We must fight for them against internal discrimination & marginalisation and against the laws & systems that suppress them. Listen to them when they present issues within & support them in their struggles.
We believe that we cannot be free until all are free and fundamentally this includes the freedoms & rights for our LGBTQIA+ friends. As pride month comes to an end, we recommit to standing in solidarity with our friends & allies in the LGBTQIA+ community, to continue to listen to them, to learn more about their struggles, to support their actions, uplift their voices and of course post their events (cause that’s what we as a project supposed to be doing).

Our heartfelt thanks to our LGBTQIA+ friends & allies for all they do within our struggles & contexts.

With Love & in Solidarity always.
#MilkTeaAlliance Calendar Team
