If we’re going to rehash the Gilded Age, it would be great for wealthy industry magnates to actually fund arts, hospitals, parks, schools, etc.

The Cornell 7 we’re all talking about? That story was broken in the work of Cereese Qusba, who is a reporter at The Ithaca Voice and a news editor at The Cornell Daily Sun, two independent newspapers. She is still herself, a student at Cornell University.

Some brilliant words from Graie Hagans on Sukkot & community organizing. "The practice of gathering under the fragile, 3-walled sukkah reminds us that true safety doesn't come from rigid, heavy structures, but from collective care, community, and standing together in moments of uncertainty." Read:

When I'm presented with something I think is a good idea or that someone is excited about, immediately my brain goes to the problems so that we can not waste our time or solve said problems and do the thing. Apparently, this means I'm sucking the joy out of things. Does anyone else do this?
