i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return

Gideon wakes up after her 15 minute nap with Jeannemary and proceeds to have the most terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day in her entire life of terrible, horrible, very bad, no good days

#seriously it all happens WITHIN MINUTES OR HOURS OF EACH OTHER #Gideon Nav #tlt #the locked tomb

Halfway through my first Gideon the Ninth reread and while I’m noting all the hints and foreshadowing I didn’t understand before, I’m also noticing just…well, as Nona said, how SAD Gideon is. She’s lonely, constantly on the edge of a panic attack, and sometimes hides in her room for days (before the murder plot starts). Half of the reason she ends up hunting down Harrow and helping her is because Harrow’s the only thing she even remotely understands in Canaan House. And as soon as Harrow starts changing how she acts in response to her, she has literal heart palpitations of terror at the thought of it. No wonder Kiriona happened. The one thing she had keeping her stable shattered into pieces, and John was able to pick up the pieces of her and put her back together how he wanted.

First time around I was just focused on the plot but this time all I can think is good god someone help this child.

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

#what!!! so exciting!!!!

btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.

we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.

don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend.

The tumblr experience is having politics that make the most left leaning progressive you know irl blush and then logging on here and getting called a bootlicker fascist because you said that you dont think we should make the reign of terror happen again

#literally this #I overheard a coworker being pro-profiling by cops today and I had to forcefully remind myself of this
