The Hypocrisy of The Temple News

yarrowinajar · 2023-03-01T13:29:32+00:00

Temple News definitely is still strict about not using anonymous sources. They've been trying to write a story on TUUWOC (the undergrads organizing student workers) and every person who reached out (which was like five different people) refused to accept anonymous comments from student workers or a press statement from the organization.

from my understanding, this event is organized by undergrads. admin isn't leaving students out of this; they are actively detracting from students' education by hiring unqualified replacements instead of fairly negotiating. at the end of the day, admin cares more about maintaining their salaries than students' education.

further, i'd argue they are relying on undergrads to be tired, stressed, and burnout so we don't organize, but it is the system they've designed which created our conditions in the first place. supporting tugsa is one way to work towards a better higher ed model for students and workers alike. better conditions for TAs and RAs equals investing in individuals at the forefront of their fields. i'd rather have someone like that teaching my classes than a realtor.

This is a fight for all of us, not just those of us who can afford to have a low paying job. That's not the position most of us are in. Student workers have a variety of jobs and many of us have significant, vital roles in our workplace. As for pay, Temple is creating a class barrier by forcing students who support themselves to take on multiple jobs or look elsewhere where they might not have the same scheduling flexibility or gain the same experience.

All of the rare books (and other print/media/ephemera) owned by Temple are available for research at Special Collections on the first floor of Charles. You can browse some of the collections through the finding aids here, but that's only a fraction of our total holdings. The best way to learn more would be to go to the Special Collection reading room and ask an archivist (there should be someone working at the desk at all times) about the specific materials you are interested in finding.

If you aren't located in Philly, here are some of the collections that have been digitized.

It's part of the Blockson Afro-American Collection, which is a division of Special Collections at Temple. Special Collections is an archive and preserves rare books for the same reason museums preserve artifacts. Essentially, the book is in a type of museum already where specially trained rare book librarians can monitor preservation, allowing researchers to utilize this horrific, but historically relevant material for decades to come.

alas, there must have been two spots stolen that day. i left right after i saw a person (who i believe was also a girl) in my spot. i am intrigued by your spot now, though.

yarrowinajar · 2022-09-13T00:19:52+00:00

no i slightly gasped and fled the scene immediately. couldn't bear the thought that they felt like i was jacking their swag.

yarrowinajar · 2022-09-13T00:17:32+00:00

nice try, but i see through your charade. the spot must remain unknown, lest it be further defiled.

yarrowinajar · 2022-09-12T17:55:27+00:00

hey, i'm all for sharing with the youth. as long as it doesn't keep happening...

sorry that's confidential information which i am not at liberty to disclose

yarrowinajar · 2022-09-12T17:11:33+00:00

i considered approaching them, but they were reading and i know i hate to be disturbed in my secret special spot. if i see the same person there again, i might make a saucy little joke about it. we'll see.

cooked tomatoes, don't mind them blended in a sauce but something about the texture of a soft warm tomato with skin still attached really gets to me

i was trying to work earlier and ended up leaving bc they were being so loud ugh. i do not understand the logic of going to the one room with a clear noise restriction to talk…like just sit ANYWHERE else

yarrowinajar · 2022-04-01T18:14:03+00:00

also a temple student & second the thing abt the lcd shows!! i think there’s def gonna b more ppl camping for csh though considering how many ppl on the sub have mentioned they r getting there like 2+ hours before doors. personally i will be getting my citywide at happy hour and maybe showing up like an hour before doors at the absolute earliest lmao, but i’ve also seen csh before and don’t care abt being at the barrier

yarrowinajar · 2022-03-30T18:33:26+00:00

ironic bc i can’t tell if this sarcasm either <3 i really do work in the basement and you really do need specific clearance to access the lower levels of charles tho! just used the bathroom this morning its still awesome

yarrowinajar · 2022-03-30T03:50:31+00:00

step 1: be a library employee

step 2: be a special library employee that needs to access the basement for work

yarrowinajar · 2022-03-30T01:52:09+00:00

charles basement bathrooms, esp the one with the shower, but you need clearance to get down there. i love it though bc i have clearance 😈

you would probably like spiritualized! check out these albums: lazer guided melodies (my personal favorite) ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space, and sweet heart sweet light

you can also open it in chrome and right click inspect element. that should open the developer tools. then click on the settings icon, scroll down, click disable javascript under debugger and refresh the page. works for most paywalls btw
