The RHLI band has FIVE (5) goddamn tubas right now. Us not playing the Beetlejuice theme is a crime.

Yeah. We didn't want to just delete our presence entirely in case we have old material up that could be helpful to someone who doesn't otherwise know where to find us. Twitter was where we used to have our biggest follower base.

Speaking to MAASIN, we opted to stop using the platform but leave our account up so people can look at old material and learn where to find us now.

Tweet from Batya Ungar-Sargon: "Beyond disgusting. Gov. Walz is comparing the innocent Jews that the Gestapo were hunting for exterminationβ€”who were citizensβ€”to the illegal migrant murderers, rapists, sex offenders, and child abusers that ICE is seeking to deport because they broke our laws again and again."

It is literally false that the Jews being hunted by Nazis were citizens, because the first step toward genocide was stripping them of citizenship and making them stateless. As Arendt reminds us, citizenship is a legal category created to facilitate a machinery of exclusion of the out-group.

Do water mains break in other cities very often or is this a Hamilton problem because I feel like it happens here a lot

I feel like MAASIN should re-release the navigating ICE encounters guide but I don't know how useful it is anymore if they're murdering people in the streets. I'm going to have to consult the org who contributed to that again for updates.

If you participated in the 2025 college marching band season, MAASIN wants to hear from you! Head to the link at forms.gle/ogJeK1pajN9m... and share your experience by February 15!

I'm in my mid-50s. I started organizing against the violence of policing when I was a teenager. I've heard ALL of the so-called "reform" proposals. They are the SAME ONES that liberals are offering in 2026. Cops have never killed more people in my lifetime.

Gotta do something different.

If you are visibly queer you are "antifa", and they declared "antifa" a terrorist organization. I'm not sure what the fuck else you thought would result from this.

A decent chunk of that $66 is shipping but that is the price of being a Canadian scholar

Riding the high of finding three books I need for sale secondhand in decent condition on thriftbooks and getting them all for $66 total after shipping. One was not available in my campus or city's library system so I've solved a problem and got a nice bonus.

I not only want socialized healthcare, I want socialized veterinary care. Every living thing should have access to healthcare. It is unethical for a society to have laws against animal cruelty yet not provide assistance with getting animals veterinary care.

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

I hope that I have been queer in every lifetime. I hope I was getting with all the other nuns at the convent in 1174.

I do kinda think it's important to know, like, anything about the thing you're critiquing. In this particular case "AI" just means "mathematical model". ChatGPT is not diagnosing fucking cancer

I am especially annoyed in the context I TA in because I TA in social work! It's a professional program! You are expected to graduate with a certain skillset and you are not going to have it if you use ChatGPT to do all your thinking! Your future clients/service users are COOKED and I am worried!

My lifehack for undergrads is that if you're using ChatGPT to do all your schoolwork you can save tens of thousands of dollars by simply not going to university since you don't seem to actually give a shit about learning the material at all.

hey guys. I just wanted to put a call out and ask folks to please let me know if they know of any marketing/communications or graphic design jobs open right now. I think I do great work and could really use some leads ❀️
