happy hanukkah to those celebrating but particularly to those struggling to celebrate bc of what is being done in their name. u don't have to answer for it but i know it can be hard to reconcile sadness and community, and u r not alone in this. in better times all our celebrations will be unmarred.

If it helps at all, Rabbis4Ceasefire put out a candle lighting companion.

It provides Kavanot (intentions/guided intentional thoughts/meditations) to incorporate each night to turn your Chanukah observance into a reflective time that renews your spirit, strength, and hope in your ongoing support of Palestine

they need to invent a job where they pay you to get obsessed with a subject for 3 and up to 6 months. and thats it. you dont have to show results for it or anything. they just give you money for being overlyinvolved in this one specific subject of your choosing for a while. just me and the 356 wikipedia pages and the 17 books i read. i dont remember a single word of anything. but boy was i Obsessed(tm). it will be 20k thank uuuu

FUCK my undergrad institution, this is absolutely unacceptable

Message about Gaza leads to removal of UT teaching assistants

Two graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin were dismissed from teaching assistant roles after sending a message to students

Source btw

[saja-star]

Further information (some of which is in the link above):

These are social work students, and the firing came from the dean of the school of social work

The dean's letter claimed that the message was unsolicited, when in fact a student in the class had specifically reached out asking for support.

The dean's letter claimed that the statement was unauthorized, when in fact the TAs met with the professor to go over the wording of their message.

The dean's letter claimed that the message was not relevant to the course material (and was therefore not within their responsibilities as TAs). The course is titled "Women and Madness" and is specifically about how psychology treats minorities. A statement about the mental health impact of these events on minoritized students is extremely relevant to the course content.

If you have not been a graduate TA (or if the system works differently where you live), I also want to clarify that these people are adults with jobs, not teenagers volunteering or interning, and they just got fired. I don't say this to be dismissive of undergrad student workers, as I know that some of them are also supporting themselves, but I want to be clear that this is how these folks afford rent. The university has suggested that they might be moved to some other kind of position away from students, but it's not at all clear what that would be.

You’re a USAmerican and you just got a 3in long, 1/2in deep cut on your arm from some jagged metal. You can stop the bleeding easily and you had a tetanus shot 4 years ago. You…

See a primary care doctor

Go to an urgent care

Go to an emergency department

Get care from a pro not listed above

Call a friend or family member for advice/help

Are confident you can take care of this yourself and do so

Are not confident you can take care of this yourself, but are gonna do it anyway

Some other answer

Not USAmerican, just loitering
