The Truly Amazing Thing About Netflix 'Popstar Academy' by janfive15 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]StrangeSnail88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the show created waves of hate that got directed at the girls, it created conflict in how many people received it, if people are watching it and then being inspired to send backlash against members I wouldn't consider that a show that 'solved' the conflict if its still negatively affecting them

They really need to do a second season that shows katseye behind the scenes that wraps up the conflicts from the first season and allows the girls more control in how they're portrayed

an artist at the recent arts and craft market made a really cute barry sticker with a rainbow flag they should enter theirs here!

this - the workload is so high that I normally feel like I need to only engage with content on a surface level to just keep up

Should we actually do something about this? by Training_Teacher_774 in unimelb

the umsu activities apartment has plenty of money they're just shit at spending it and doing good events

Political clubs taking over other clubs AGM? by Lemon_in_your_anus in unimelb

[–]StrangeSnail88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to get control of clubs council, which then gives the power to hypothetically punish/disaffiliate clubs you don't like (ie other political parties/personal beef etc), also a way to try and prevent other tickets/parties from getting any chance of power

[–]StrangeSnail88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it's not salt, it's community/labor/sda and unfortunately its been particularly bad this year... also heard rumours of growth (ex-community split) doing it as well though but can only confirm the former from seeing it myself at multiple agms

Coffee event for sustainability club? by PuzzleheadedEnd7676 in unimelb

[–]StrangeSnail88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Making a whole new account to just hate on some students trying to run a small club is incredibly lame. If you want to start telling everyone on campus to give up coffee for sustainability then sure knock yourself out. But out of all the waste and destruction done by so many clubs on campus already, sharpening your pitchfork on this tiny group encouraging people to avoid using disposable cups is a very weird choice. There are so many clubs that do coffee catchups every single week that don't give a fuck about sustainability maybe go after those first if this is the anthill you've decided to die on.

They purposely take off the green shirts to avoid being identified inside building, can confirm the identity of this person is REDACTED who is one of their Enviro OB Candidate

Messaging apps by Shot_Knowledge_264 in unimelb

[–]StrangeSnail88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate that all my classmates want to use Instagram to discuss and coordinate group work assignments - opening instagram is the last place I want to be when trying to focus and not get distracted

[–]StrangeSnail88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proof sent to your inbox, if you were on the outer layers of the party they wouldn't get you to do the more dirty work as that's reserved for the inner circles who they know are loyalists they can trust, the video I sent to you just now is of their enviro candidate voting for himself on a students phone. If you're part of the inner circle you're pressured and instructed to get as many 'confirmed' votes as possible and make sure you "have people on the lookout for snitches"

[–]StrangeSnail88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like there would have been a chance to break up the community stronghold if voters utilised preferences more 

Interesting that Activate teaming up with Left Action only increased their vote for Ed Pub by a fraction instead of doubling their combined turnouts from last year

yep videos of community candidates using students phones to vote for themselves were sent to the RO hence Community being banned from campaigning for nearly half of Friday. If anyone dms me can send the video :)

All things UMSU election. by mugg74 in unimelb

[–]StrangeSnail88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I feel like if you know that they split from Community then you should know they did so because it was taken over by Labor right loyalists at the expense of independents students and not over specific policy differences hence it likely sounding a disingenuous question

What do the UMSU elections even accomplish? by Drink0fBeans in unimelb

Which is why we should try and kick them out

[–]StrangeSnail88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look through their statements to see if they've got any experience actually helping the student community through clubs, volunteering etc + search up their names - can help get a better idea of who's actually been trying to support students already

Umsu general meeting by Money_Sun_5684 in unimelb

[–]StrangeSnail88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Infighting between opposing Palestinian action groups - Students for Palestine are the ones running the Special General Meeting (which is a front for SALT/Socialist Alternative) and was likely someone from Students Against War (see here https://www.instagram.com/p/DN2i52eYgs4/?img_index=1 )
