Hello hi journalist here. College paper journalists are still journalists and honestly they go harder than a lot of their more established peers. Cornell's reporters deserve a Pulitzer. Also Tracey is not a journalist because he doesn't follow established journalism ethics guidelines 🤷‍♀️

The University of Arizona has just suspended 6 fraternities after “allegations of misconduct” were made, including “physical assault, drugs and alcohol, hazing, and creating unsafe environments for students”. Seems like the mishandling of the rape allegations at Cornell may be rippling outward.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

My firstborn works night shifts only (by choice) at the hospital and tries to maintain this schedule on days off. This means there's stuff happening around the house while the rest of us sleep. This morning we woke up to the scent of freshly-baked pumpkin bread. 😋 And the kitchen was clean. 😍

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

It’s Wastewater Wednesday! How are COVID levels? We’re using two sources to help us keep track of the country and our state of Oregon. Thank you to @michael-hoerger.bsky.social for the map and graph, and OHA for continuing to track data coming from our wastewater treatment centers!
Two screenshots against a photo of grapes. The first is a map of the US showing COVID transmission, with states colored light blue to berry pink depending on severity. Lane County is red which means high rates. There are numerous counties in Oregon in the moderate and high ranges. Text notes that this data was last updated on August 29. The second screenshot is text that reads, “69% of Oregon community wastewater treatment centers were positive for SARS-CoV-2 on the most recent sample.”

Not sure how anyone can read this new report from the UN and conclude that it says there's nothing more to be done and that fossil fuels are now inevitable.
We need deeper,

now more than ever,
as well as major
