It’s Murder time at college so everything’s chaos

Avatar

A few people have been asking so let me explain

Murder’s a game my college does every year where everyone’s given a plastic knife with someone’s name on it. The knives are shoved under your door at midnight and for the next week you have to try and ‘kill’ the person on your knife. If you kill them, you get their knife and have to kill that person, and so on, until there is one lone survivor. You can’t kill someone in the dining hall or in their room, or if they’re naked. I’m pretty sure the prize is a bottle of vodka.

It gets super intense; some floors unscrew most of their lights to make it harder to find the right person, or keep the fire emergency doors closed with black garbage bags taped up so you can’t even see into the floor. Some people walk around in nothing but a towel so that if someone comes at them they can just drop it and be immune. People walk in groups. Everyone’s suspicious of everyone. Friends are no longer trusted. No one and nowhere is safe.

We are the women left behind. We are the women who have cared for other women’s children while ours were taken away. We are the women who work two jobs when companies won’t hire our men. We are the women caring for grandchildren as our sons are taken by the prison industrial complex. We are the women who march in the streets and are never marched for. We are the women expected to never air our grievances in public. We are the women expected to stay loyal to our men by staying silent through abuse and infidelity. We are the women who clean the blood of our men and boys from the streets. We are the women who gather their belongings from the police station.

if there’s one piece of advice I have for anyone in high school right now, it’s that community college isn’t a bad option. like at all. in fact I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t gone to community college before I transferred to my current university, I wouldn’t be prepared whatsoever. don’t be embarrassed to attend community college if your grades aren’t up to par or even if you can’t decide on a school or a major yet. you’ll save tons of money and I guarantee you that you’ll learn so much from the experience. there was always a stigma with community college when I was in high school but believe me when I say it’s all bullshit. don’t rule out community college ok?

The San Francisco Earthquake, April 18, 1906

The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake struck 110 years ago on the morning of April 18, 1906. With an estimated magnitude of 7.9, it was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, with the earthquake and subsequent fires claiming more than 3,000 lives, and leaving half the city’s population homeless.

The National Archives Catalog holds over 150 photos related to the San Francisco Earthquake from multiple federal agencies, departments and congressional committees, including:

A view of busy Market Street looking southward. This shot may be taken just before the earthquake hit. There is no date on the photo.  National Archives Identifier: 6598315

11 things Bernie Sanders has accomplished that you probably don’t know about

I’m Feeling The Bern, and even I didn’t know about all of these things.

(via)

He has a history of being able to compromise. Something people like to say he has trouble doing.

  • Do you remember the VA waiting list scandal, Sanders introduced VA legislation that resulted in the hiring of over 14,000 new doctors, nurses, and medical staff, possibly saving thousands of veteran’s lives. Reducing backlogging by almost 90%
  • He’s known for being able to work with other people in congress. He got his VA legislation passed by working with John McCain and other people within the Senate
  • In 2002, Sanders introduced an amendment against the Bush Administration’s legislation that would’ve cut pensions of older workers by as much as 50 percent. He then later passed another amendment that helped 130,000 IBM workers regain $320 million in pension benefits.
  • In 1999, through an act of kindness, Bernie became the first Member of Congress to take a busload of Americans across the border into Canada to purchase prescription drugs. That’s how passionate he feels about this issue. Many were breast-cancer patients and others in desperate need of medication.
  • Do you like free credit reports? You can thank Bernie Sanders. He introduced legislation to allow consumers to receive free credit reports and free credit scores.
  • During the debate over the Affordable Care Act, Sen. Sanders worked with Rep. Jim Clyburn and won a deal which dramatically increased access to community health centers. These centers provide primary medical care, dental care, low-cost prescription drugs and mental health counseling to more than 24 million Americans.
  • In 2009, when milk prices plummeted, Sanders was able to win $350 million in additional aid for struggling dairy farmers many of whom were on the brink of bankruptcy. No one thought this would pass congress. Many thought this amendment was pie-in-the-sky. Not only did it pass the Senate, it became law.
  • Is Bernie Sanders serious about climate change? He modified a 2009 climate change bill which resulted in more than 86,000 energy efficient buildings, the installation of more than 9,500 solar energy systems, and the creation of thousands of good-paying jobs.
  • During 2009 and 2010, insiders in both parties were talking about cutting Social Security benefits. In response, Bernie Sanders formed the Defend Social Security Caucus in the Senate and helped form a grassroots coalition of senior citizens, veterans, the disabled, women, and labor groups to oppose these bipartisan cuts. As a result his efforts helped dramatically change the political momentum. When Sanders offered an amendment opposing Social Security cuts in 2013, it passed the Senate by acclamation.
  • Concerned about Bernie’s plan to break up the banks? Over 160 economists have endorsed Bernie Sanders’ plan to break up too-big-to-fail banks and enact a 21st-century version of the Glass-Steagall Act.
  • (Source)

Those are just a few of his accomplishments. I could go into how he helped Jessie Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition,

his involvement in the Congress of Racial Equality, his rich history of courageous civil rights activism in the face of adversity,

8-Year-Old Yemeni Child Dies At Hands Of 40-Year-Old Husband On Wedding Night

An eight year-old child bride died in Yemen on her wedding night after suffering internal injuries due to sexual trauma. Human rights organizations are calling for the arrest of her husband, who was five times her age.

“According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), between 2011 and 2020, more than 140 million girls will become child brides. Furthermore, of the 140 million girls who will marry before the age of 18, 50 million will be under the age of 15.”

In February 2009, a law was created in Yemen that set the minimum age for marriage at 17. Unfortunately, it was repealed after more conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.
