Attempt to create an Oberlin community on Bluesky. Tag this account and I'll repost it if it's on-topic. I'll turn it into a custom feed later, but it seemed easier to start this way.

Oberlin mentioned meme with the anime girl from the "x mentioned" meme format sitting in a womb chair with her shirt kind of in the oberlin red and gold colors, and featuring a white squirrel, she has a violin resting on her, and is holding a glass and a bottle of black label beer, and in an oberlin hat, behind her is a tappan square painted rock and some kids in wilder bowl doing some piggy back ride silliness, also a logo for osca and a picture of the feve

Hey fellow @obies.bsky.social! Did you know that Tappan Square was designed by the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, who basically invented the practice of landscape design and was responsible for Central Park and the U.S. Capitol grounds? Learning this made me extra proud to be an Obie.

Mamdani also has the endorsements of four New York City House Democrats: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nydia Velázquez, Jerry Nadler and Adriano Espaillat. Several of the others - inciding Reps. Greg Meeks, Ritchie Torres and Yvette Clarke -- have voiced varying degrees of concern about Mamdani and reserved their endorsements.

It’s pretty cool having just graduated from a school where 75% of the graduating class disrupts the head of the board’s commencement speech with ten minutes of “free free palestine” chants because they refuse to divest from israel. I’m so proud of us <3 (pic from oberlin4palestine on instagram)

The reason I didn't start with a feed is there is a problem of people discovering it in the first place. But now that we have a bunch of folks following here, maybe that would work?

Oberlin community @obies.bsky.social · 24/11/2024
So, thinking out loud, we have a lot of new tools here. What would be most useful? One thing is just Obies meeting and following each other. A starter pack seems good for that. Another would be a way for anyone to get a message out to Obies. Seems like a feed is the best way to do that?

Hey @obies.bsky.social please consider signing this alumni letter, drafted by the amazing student activists on campus, demanding the Oberlin administration end its complicity in Israel’s bombardment and occupation of Palestine. And pass it on! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Dear President Ambar and Board of Trustees,
Audre Lorde advised the Oberlin College 1989 graduating class in her commencement address: “We are citizens of the most powerful country on earth—we are also citizens of a country that stands upon the wrong side of every liberation struggle on earth. Feel what that means. It is a reality that haunts each of our lives and that can help inform our dreams. It's not about altruism, it's about self-preservation. Survival.”
Over 30 years later and the United States continues to be on the wrong side. Lorde's words reverberate as we witness Israel's latest wave of genocidal violence in its decades-long war on Palestine. This aggression has led to a humanitarian catastrophe of immeasurable proportion.There are no universities left in Gaza. Israel has bombed them all.​​​​​​​ Where is your outrage?
We are appalled by the inaction of the Oberlin College administration. The silence from those that lead our alma mater, and the school’s continued investments in companies actively profiting off this violence, make the college complicit in Israel’s violations of human rights and international law. This racist and colonial project of ethnic cleansing is being funded and championed by the United States and corporate interests.  
Oberlin College prides itself on a purported commitment to social justice. Alumni are continually reminded that we attended one of the first colleges to accept Black people and women. Although this rhetoric successfully attracts students dedicated to critical engagement and liberation struggles, our school continues to invest in and profit from the white supremacist American war machine. Oberlin College was shamefully one of the last US academic institutions to dives

Back on Twitter I ran an @oberlin account that worked like a manual listserv, I’d repost things people sent to it. Thinking of doing something similar here with a custom feed, but I’ll start with the manual version. If you’re connected to Oberlin, follow @obies.bsky.social & tag it to get reposted!
