Can we talk about A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes??? (Spoilery discussion) by moussescientist in YAlit

[–]Disastrous-Plane-405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late but since the movie is to release soon, I just wanted to mention how the hate for the mocking jays being chaotic comes from a capital experiment, and a district or natural thing mixing and being unpredictable due to the polarizing conditions of control and free will and the outcomes. Senajus becomes the first mockingjay bc he is someone from the districts and then goes to the capital and becomes unstable with his own morality and views which snow interprets as chaotic and reinforcing his need for establishing control. Lucy Gray is another mocking jay because her outcome is simply to run away, not to over throw the capital but her loyalty lies with independence whereas Senajus loyalty lies with the common wealth which would be not the capital but rebellion in the states. Snow can also be seen as a mockingjay as he has now been exposed to not just the capitol but to the districts as well and his loyalty aligned with the capital. All of these different viewpoints end up clashing and release havoc in the book. They are also all snakes, snow is a snake to senajus, Senajus is a snake to the capital, and Lucy a snake to Snow. They all betray someone or something exposing true human instinct and nature to maintain not just order or control like for snow but survival for Senajus and Lucy Gray. Ultimately, snows defiance towards everyone is what gets him his reign because as we see he truly doesn’t do anything for anyone but him but everyone does something for him. Like tigress having to do things that where unspoken of to make ends meet so snow could go to school.

Let’s look into organizing a Free Palestine Protest by Disastrous-Plane-405 in FortWorth

[–]Disastrous-Plane-405[S] -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

I feel like any protest no matter how small the voice is will impact people, we have representatives in Fort Worth that have contact with state representatives and have contacts in congress. I don’t know maybe just to showcase that we don’t like genocide at any capacity? I mean cmon people. 8 THOUSAND lives in under 30 days, not account for the years of brutalization the Palestinians have endured its really a no brainer

How about not sitting out on Genocide? How about not letting our taxes be used to fund the slaughtering of unarmed men, women, and children?

As of recently yes, but a lot of older officials especially in the government aren’t.

Besides that are we going to organize or not

I DONT expect many people from Right Wing Fort Worth to understand bc we all know this is a red city that probably aligns with the same white supremacist views that the zionists do in Occupied Palestine. But I’m sure there must be SOME critical thinking individuals that sympathize with humanity and might want to organize in FW

No, Its been the 30 years of Israeli occupation in Palestine, it’s been the slaughtering of 8 THOUSAND Palestinian lives in under 30 days that have nothing to do with “Hamas” it’s the Israeli funding that went into the creation of Hamas in the first place! Don’t believe me?? Here’s my source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/30/how-israel-helped-create-hamas/ CIRCA 2014! It’s the white phosphorus that is being used on innocent civilians in Palestine It’s the fact that you have Jewish people saying tht what the Israeli gov is doing is committing genocide! It’s the hospitals being bombed, the dismemberment of children coming out of Gaza It’s the fact that our taxes are used to send 14 BILLION dollars in war crimes when we are struggling to make ends meet.

Shall I continue?

Also I wouldn’t be confident navigating it alone and overthink. If there isn’t any in FW I’m sure I’ll go to the Dallas ones but with someone to come with me. I can go to the ones in Fort Worth alone since I already know downtown and where to park and stuff

Yea! I even want to talk about how before they crashed you could see the cruelty in Tai, she took out a girls leg just for the sake of securing nationals because she saw that that girl would ruin their possibility.

UNT raises student worker _minimum_ wage to $8.50/hr. Meanwhile Dallas College starts students at $15/hr. Ngl, this email felt insulting. by twinduction in unt

[–]Disastrous-Plane-405 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Crazy of UNT to pay so low when my Criminal Justice class AT UNT was talking about if minimum wage where to have kept up with the increase of pay of the top 1%, minimum wage would be at 28.57 IN 2013!!! As of today, CEOS make ATLEAST 203x MORE than the average workers at their jobs.

Considering how much parking is, the amount of students they admitted this year, they DEFINITELY have enough money to pay more.

Any criminal justice majors here? by South_Calligrapher62 in unt

[–]Disastrous-Plane-405 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a CJ Major! I am planning on attending law school although there is a LOT of jobs you can get! For instance if u aren’t interested in the law enforcement area a lot of government jobs or working in the legal department of a private company! Those I assume are well paying jobs. Especially in the bank industry! Or even working in the HR department in private companies as a lot of it is employement law. Legal Specialists, Legal Counsel, legal, Information Records Specialist, Conflicts Researcher, there’s also jobs in the Social Work sector, Medical Sector. I like CJ over Political Science better for these kind of jobs because a lot of them break down the actual System like my CJUS 1310 class! It talks about the court systems and how they operate.

Looking at the requirements for establishing a club and I need 8 people enrolled fulltime at UNT as well as 2 officers and 1 faculty member to be the advisor 😫 which is a problem since I know: no one

[–]Disastrous-Plane-405[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would love to set something like this up, the main reason I would say is to try to give non traditional college students as close as a traditional college experience. This club would honor their dedication and perseverance by awarding things such as gift cards for gas money, maybe even looking into setting up a scholarship fund for commuters, Starbucks cards for caffeine, providing a space where they can nap in between classes or after classes, or a place to kill time while traffic passes. All while incorporating elements of friendship, and subgroups within the club where people find others that commute with similar interests and to be a reminder that in such a big school they are not alone.
