Need a better breakdown? Tiktok attached below that explains Zoom's new Terms of Service:

What about folks who have therapy via Zoom? Court hearings? The list goes on. If you've got any Zoom alternatives, or maybe preference for one of the ones we listed with why, reblog please!

Image Description Below.

Email your university about FERPA compliance if you or your peers take online classes also

can white people stop boo-hooing about how they lost their favorite vacation spot because of the fires on maui? it’s vile. people lost their lives and their homes. no one gives a shit that your colonizing ass can’t go somewhere you were never welcome anyway

This AND if you’ve ever visited/vacationed in Hawái it’s time to pay up. If y’all love Hawái so much, show it by donating. Oh, and never go back. That native land has been EXPLOITED by vacationers and capitalism. The government is spending money and resources in order to house and feed tourists/visitors OVER sending help to the native people who NEED IT. Stop going to Hawái. It’s not your land.

Just wanted to add on to this a concrete example: a couple years ago the Hawaiian government implemented water rationing FOR LOCALS ONLY, while continuing to allow tourists to use as much water as they wanted for fancy hotels, spas, pools, and GOLF COURSES. This is obviously the exact opposite of how water shortages should be addressed. I don't even think many of the tourists had any idea that the water they used on vacation was literally being taken from the homes of indigenous people: many tourists think they are helping local economies. I would LOVE to visit Hawaii and see amazing Polynesian biomes and active volcanoes without a passport, but I have resigned myself to the fact that there is currently no ethical way for me to do so. Visiting Hawaii would take needed resources from the people who live there, and the tourism industrial complex would actively lie to me about it if I tried to travel there in an ethical or sustainable manner. The US has really plundered those amazing islands and done so much harm to them in so many ways. Native Hawaiians are begging tourists to stay away. So please take their demands seriously and enjoy Hawaii's amazing natural wonders through video instead of in person.

Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)

It’s also a lot easier to do research in a library; sure, it’s one thing to have internet access, but it’s another to have wifi access to databases and books on the topic an approximate two minute walk away.

My favorite fact about the Monty Python troupe is that they wanted their comedy to be truly beyond categorization, so be so slapdash and surreal you couldn't really describe it.

On the fact that this surreal comedy instead became emblematic of their group, Terry Jones once said:

The fact that "Pythonesque" is now a word in the Oxford English Dictionary shows the extent to which we failed.

I cackle whenever I remember this.

If Taylor Swift used her power for good she would be such a great stochastic terrorist. She would post on Instagram "Hey guys, Tay here. Just wanted to say that whoever delivers me the head of Ron DeSantis on a platter will get free Eras Tour tickets. #ShadeNeverMadeAnybodyLessGay." It would be at her doorstep in two hours.
