Crisis on Campus
I've been debating weighing in on what's been going on at Columbia University for the past week, given the contentious nature of the subject matter. At this point, it'd be irresponsible to stay silent.
Peaceful protests, good trouble, fighting for social justice, and having compassion for innocent human lives - especially during a devastating war - are all good things.
But that's not what's happening on Columbia's campus.
These are antisemitism-fueled hate marches that are directly inciting violence and threatening people for simply being Jewish. It's gone well beyond criticism of a foreign government and their policies. It's gone well beyond the war and the region's history. It's now like Charlottesville in 2017. Pure antisemitic hatred.
And I could not possibly be more disappointment with my alma mater.

"Nah, not a therapist..."
*grins sheepishly*
"...just a friend."
*finishes coffee and gets up*
"Hey, are you okay?"
Logan huffed before taking a swig of his beer. The age old question ‘are you okay’ had always challenged Logan. No, he wasn’t okay; he never was. But he would never talk openly about it; no need to scare people with what haunted him.
“Sure, bub” he said in his gruff voice, “don’t I look okay?”
Raising his eyebrow, Logan turned in his barstool and looked straight at Spider-Man. He had a deadpan expression on his face, like he didn’t care for the conversation. Like he dared Spider-Man to answer the question.

"Of course you do! I mean, are you...uh...doing okay. The stuff we do takes a toll, you know?"
*drinks a hefty sip of coffee, relishing the taste and the much-needed caffeine boost*
*thinks about his next words carefully, hoping Logan wasn't annoyed by the question*
"You've seen a lot more than I have. More than I probably ever will. It's hard to imagine sometimes, with all the weird stuff we deal with."

Strongly considering making a Ben Grimm secondary rp blog.

I agree on all points. Yeah, he was really good as Micro in The Punisher. Hope we get more than an Afikomen in MCU Fantastic Four.
Marvel just cast a Jewish person as Ben Grimm. Granted, it's the same person who played Micro in the MCU's Punisher, but it's something!
Hey. Yeah I saw. I'm not on here all that much anymore. Got tired of the glitching.
I never watched the Punisher all the way through and I only made it through like 2 o 3 episodes of the Bear. It just wasn't my thing. I couldn't find much much about him or how he views his jewishness.
Like is he Mel Brooks Jewish or is he more like Jonah Hill. Cause if its the latter, then its isn't gonna do much.
But here's hoping we get more than just an Afikomen.

*looks back at Mary Jane, trying - and failing - to hide his stress*
*after a long pause, lies down beside Mary Jane*
"I...Mary Jane, I have to be strong. For you. And Mayday and Benjy."
*holds up hands, gazing at his fingertips, afraid to see the small barbs gone like they were so many years ago*
"You know, I told two other me's a little while back that I'm always completely stunned by the fantastical nature of these things. And we all laughed. It's kind of how we cope with this. But it also takes a toll."
"This life, it adds more stress than I know what to do with some days. I'm not quitting. Never doing that again. But I just worry sometimes that the dread and the anxiety is going to make me lose my powers again."
*forces a smile, trying to get a laugh or at least a grin from MJ*
"And then I'd just be Man. I'd even lose my hyphen privileges, and that'd just be salt in the wound."
+ @raimi-spider-man-rp asked: 👌 ask my muse how they’re feeling
+ " Peter, are you SURE you're feeling alright ? " Mary Jane had certainly KNOWN him long enough to have her SUSPICIONS that something wasn't right . Sitting atop the bed, blue eyes DOTTED with concern , she patted the space right beside her . " Come talk to me a little bit ? "

*fires a web-shot at Arcade's mouth*
"That's for me to know and you to be uncomfortable about."
*walks up to Arcade and angrily points at him*
"I'm letting you off easy, Arcade. I don't know or care who hired you but if you come after me again, things are gonna get a lot worse for you. And if you go anywhere near Black Cat or Scorpion again, the webs will be the least of your worries."
*sighs and walks away*
A giant glass comes down on top of Spider-Man. He's trapped.
"Oh, VERY FUNNY. Yeah, get the guy called Spider-Man with a gigantic drinking glass."

*leaps through the air, dodging all the darts*
"Yeah-"
*fires a web-line at Arcade's gun and pulls it out of his hand*
"-oh crap."
*shoots two more web-lines at Arcade's ankles and jumps up to a flagpole to create a pulley that leaves Arcade hanging upside-down*
*jumps down and webs Arcade into a cocoon but leaves his head exposed*
"Just consider yourself lucky I'm not The Punisher!"

*blocks the nozzles with some quick web-shots*
"I've got a better idea. Let's not and say we did!"
*winds up a punch and smashes the glass open*
"Should have figured it was you, Arcade."
