Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

it’s my first day of graduate school! ⭐️ i could literally jump for joy !!

Eliminating academic programs does not eliminate the need for the expertise those programs produce. Instead those same knowledges and skills will now be the responsibility of increasingly overburdened and underprepared instructors across the institution.

IU's Slavic, Eastern European, and Central Asian programs were among the best in the world, a gem of American academia that nurtured numerous giants, including Stephen Cohen. Now almost all of them are abolished, including PhD programs. What an unmitigated disaster.

At a ceremony in New York City, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts returned two works of art that were stolen from present-day Nigeria more than a century ago. They were donated to the MFA in 2013 and 2018.

Our digital repositories team spends a great deal of their time now simply protecting our commoned public digital resources from bots. This insatiable, aimless, destructive desire to excrete novel slop is impeding our access to — and even damaging — our cultural heritage + vetted public knowledge.

to second this: i dropped out of school and when i returned to university (on my own terms, years later), my grades improved significantly and my future prospects did too !! taking time to do things on ur own terms is so okay!! even if it’s later than the “standard time”

i’m so proud to be a new yorker!!!!

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

i saw a commercial for a google certificate that verbatim said that “some degrees are more valuable than others” 🫠

my hometown redid the library and they not only took its character but it doesn’t have nearly as many books as it did. and all the new books are only available digitally :/

a few weeks ago i lost a very important flash drive w research materials from the LOC and all my work from undergrad… today i found it in my favorite library booth !!!!!’

Women and girls will bear the brunt of this decision, as the Taliban's restrictions on women get worse by the day. Ending TPS for Afghan nationals who fled violence and instability puts lives at risk and completely ignores the reality on the ground.

Don't mess with librarians! The staff the LoC refused to let DOJ staffers sent by the new acting librarian Todd Blanche to enter the building! They called the Capital Police and their GC. They said they recognize the deputy librarian as being in power until they hear otherwise from Congress! 🔥🔥🔥

ive been using 17 moments in soviet history over the course of the last two years, especially as i've been working on improving my language skills. today, there was a notice that they lost their NEH grant, and will impact their future additions and improvements this is a MAJOR loss.

In his first formal address to Roman Catholic cardinals, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday said he would continue the work of Pope Francis in steering the church in a more missionary direction, with greater cooperation among church leaders and caring for the marginalized.

The new pope's brother: “I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration. I know that for a fact. How far he’ll go with it is only one’s guess, but he won’t just sit back. I don’t think he’ll be the silent one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/w...

This article was posted the other day from the NY Times and I cannot stop thinking about the connections between this and the USSR and their pronatalist policies. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...
