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 is pleased by the major commitment it made to geothermal, Mr. Norman said. It is one of only 15 colleges or universities nationally that have achieved carbon neutrality and the first in Ohio."

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.

oberlin college graduating seniors not putting up with the board’s support of genocide at commencement today
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

In 4th grade @obies.bsky.social learned what our ancestors did when federal agents kidnapped someone they hoped to return to slavery (took up arms & rioted to force his release) & tbh I had hoped that was not going to be applicable to my future life but

White marble bust of Mr. James Peck Thomas.
Edmonia Lewis (American, 1844-1907) Bust of James Peck Thomas, 1874 Marble
Spent the afternoon at the Allen Memorial Art Museum. It is an absolute gem in a town of only five thousand people. Should I have know the museum had a work by Edmonia Lewis?!?

@obies.bsky.social The Oberlin alumni/ae feed is up and on its feet. #obies #Oberlin
11.12.2024 13:47 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0The 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?
24.11.2024 17:07 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So, 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 forgot about this for a bit but we're back and will endeavor to catch up!
