is it really ok to punch a nazi?
(watch the whole thing)
“I would like to defeat Nazis on planet Earth first”
The white liberal part 😂😂
You do NOT tolerate nazis in the media. You do NOT hear them out.
“Oh but it’s harmless no one really beli-” IT IS NOT HARMLESS, YOU ARE GIVING THEM A FOOTHOLD IN THE MEDIA, AND SO YOU ARE INVITING MORE IN.
Also: punching Richard Spencer in the face during an interview made him afraid to keep doing interviews. Nazis are cowards when faced with genuine resistance and punching them is effective.
“Why are you a volunteer Nazi safety advocate?” is my new favorite question.
A woman from the audience asks: ‘Why were there so few women among the Beat writers?’ and [Gregory] Corso, suddenly utterly serious, leans forward and says: “There were women, they were there, I knew them, their families put them in institutions, they were given electric shock. In the ’50s if you were male you could be a rebel, but if you were female your families had you locked up.
Stephen Scobie, on the Naropa Institute’s 1994 tribute to Allen Ginsberg
Absences of women in history don’t “just happen,” they are made.

why do we call them “college aus” when we could be calling them “alternate universities”
those times when puns are life changing
Happy National Bird Day!
Just for you, some pictures of some birds I like that I thought of off the top of my head. I’ve definitely missed a lot because I like birds and they’re cool.
Eastern Bluebird: these little dudes are super pretty and they occasionally show up in my front yard, so I love them a lot.
Red Tailed Hawk: these guys are really common but they’re still cool. We had a rooster who fought off a red tailed hawk once. Very few things are wilder than driving somewhere and all of a sudden one of these bad boys comes barreling down from the sky to catch some rodent from the side of the road.
Great Blue Heron: picture this: you’re seven, maybe eight years old. You’re playing at a local park that borders a marsh. Your older siblings come running up to you to tell you there’s a big bird in the marsh. When everyone runs over to check, the bird is gone. Some of them turn around to leave, but you stay because you want to see the bird. All of a sudden this absolutely hideous awful croaking, wheezing sound comes out from the marsh, super loud. It sounds like something’s dying. A moment later, you see a bird with a wingspan longer than you are tall take off across the marsh. Turns out, nothing was dying, it’s just the sound a great blue heron makes.
Atlantic Puffin: I just think these guys are neat. Look at it! It’s so perfect it looks fake!
Emperor Penguin: I watched March of the Penguins a lot as a small child.
Polish Chicken: I love these guys!!! They all just go around looking like that!!!
Pileated Woodpecker: we used to have one of these absolute units living in the woods around our house. Haven’t seen him in a few years. These dudes are woodpeckers that are literally the size of a crow. It’s wild.
Scarlet Tanager: I’ve never seen one of these dudes before but it’s my goal to someday see one, just because they look so cool. I think I saw a female once, but they’re not as pretty.
Magnificent Frigatebird: these guys are jerks to other birds but look at that. You can’t /not/ love a bird that looks like that.
Arctic Tern: these are the hardest working birds in the world. I love them. They’re roughly the size of a robin and they literally travel 44,000 miles in a year. They travel from the arctic circle to the South Pole. They’re insane.
