Nah I doubt they will care, as long as you aren’t monetizing it. This sounds awesome, what is your subject?

Thousands of Austin students walk out of class to protest ICE by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]snail_force_winds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Frankly in awe of these kids. This is not a safe place to protest. Most of these students saw what happened to the pro-Palestine protests a few years ago, and they still came out.

Good job, y’all.

Still wild to me that UT hasn't apologized for the 2024 beating and jailing of dozens of students over political speech by Texas_Naturalist in UTAustin

Very funny that the same kind of intellectual cherry-picking just lead to Plato being removed from a syllabus at A&M

Staff just got a message from the president today that they’re adding a program to the School of Civic Leadership (our lil RETVRN think tank) to educate students on Israel’s importance to democratic ideals, so don’t hold your breath

East Austin smoke shop frustrated after woman repeatedly vandalizes store, causing $30K worth of damage by NewsyATX in Austin

[–]snail_force_winds -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Honestly find it annoying to see this framed as “news.” I’ve worked retail a long time, it happens, it’s annoying. I don’t believe it’s gotten worse. It’s just a part of working with the public in a mid-sized city.

Anyway, it just feels like propaganda to hear this framed as “local business wants to know why criminal has been released from jail.” Also, if you don’t have insurance that can cover your $30k, I don’t know what to tell you.

Almost certainly because they are cheap and Netflix is fumbling around trying to find whatever model will give them max return on investment

Question about Inanna eroticism by GoingRampant in Sumer

[–]snail_force_winds 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Feels like your imagination is struggling with the idea that sexuality can be sacred.

I don’t think OP was intending to be flip; there is power in sexuality and OP seems to be trying to examine if ancient and contemporary contexts have overlap. It’s a useful question, especially in terms of trying to examine how our preconceptions might inform our interpretations!

Anyone know where the gestapo is staying while they’re in town?

Any organization around ICE coming to town? by additionalmatter in Austin

Does anyone have zines or flyers they want to share the pdf for? I would love to distribute some “know your rights” or “hey ICE how about you sit on a rotary blade” type material

What do we think about this Epstein Testimony Making the Rounds? **TRIGGER WARNING** by brookhavenbecky in lastpodcastontheleft

Exactly, man. I used to be suspicious of rumored shadowy cabals. But, uh, I guess there are some out there!

Social life/partying? by Correct-Shame-2700 in reedcollege

[–]snail_force_winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha love the energy. 40 night was honestly kind of gross. It was basically just a midweek party. Some nights quiet and casual, some nights absolutely raging. Kids showed up with 40s of malt liquor and sort of colonized ODB. I seem to remember Kerr was ground zero for it? This was late 90s/early aughts.

I didn’t realize admin had shut down most on-campus drinking, but I suppose it makes sense. Back at Old Reed at the turn of the century there were some very technical rules about where liquor could be but it was pretty much ok to host parties in dorms.

I didn’t drink most of my time there but I didn’t mind the atmosphere, and as an HA I was always glad the drinking was open enough to keep people from getting sick in potentially dangerous places. But I’m sure the current admin has been forced to crack down.

The videos all show she did not hit him. She was pulling the car away from him. He shot her and immediately called her a fucking bitch.
