English translations of foreign-language poetry be like

My rival dresses to display her legs, and her shoes are of an alluring fashion;

but my shoes are comfortable and my tunic is plain.

She holds the most prestigious position in the women’s dance performance, while I sit in the audience.

I dream that someday when you awaken you will know that what you sought was always here.

You and I walk together, you in the coarse and tattered trousers of a common working man;

we sit on a bench in the park, laughing together, and nothing seems difficult.

#I was like huh what is this poem it’s. interesting #it’s um. it’s Taylor swift. #the worst part is that the ending bit is actually good???? nothing seems difficult. #I get the point being made but unfortunately I like the ooorly translated version better

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

#they're EVICTING students with MINUTES to collect their belongings #in new york fucking city. where rent is abominably expensive #and these kids HAVE PAID TUITION AND DORM FEES #anyway more importantly - and per what these protesters want the focus to be #this is not about them. this is about Palestine. this is about genocide #this is about the extermination of the Palestinian people and about colonialism

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

#like on what grounds are they arresting these people now?? #like media is claiming that the arrests on campuses is because of antisemitism and threats of voilence towards jewish students #(which i KNOW is false) #but like. how are they justifying arresting all of these jewish people now #is it antisemitic to protest chuck schumer

Republicans not wanting to fund libraries is part of their plan to make the next generation illiterate. That is why they are banning books too.

I can't be the only one surprised how casually you're just. Here. Mind talking about what it was like to like. Join Tumblr?

It was 13 or 14 years ago. From what I remember you just shouldered aside the mastodons, went into the Tumblr cave and carved your mark on the wall, telling people you were now signed up for tumblr, and then they would haul memes on animal hides past you. Back then it was mostly cats doing amusing things, obviously, but we would watch them by the flickering firelight, and chortle to ourselves hopefully before leaving the cave and trudging back to our lives.

#uh yeah
