If he were an undergrad, rather than a visiting head of state, saying as much would risk severe reprisals from university administrators.

The Spanish PM said this at Columbia University yesterday:

“Defending your country is one thing. But killing 60,000 civilians, bombing hospitals, and starving children to death is something else entirely.”

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

An inhaler can help, but in a severe attack, it is not enough. You could die.

Folks with zine collections! How do you store them? Esp if you’ve got lots of different sizes.

My ‘chuck em all in a box’ situation is getting increasingly unruly

If anyone has started making zines in the last few years and would like to talk about why they started making them, please message me here.

If you could signal boost this too, this would be great.
