A tweet from the ADL: We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity.

We also hope that this action serves as a deterrent to others who might consider breaking the law on college campuses or anywhere.

“I wrote to you of Benjamin's three stages of prose writing: the musical, the architectonic, and the textile. So first you have a song and at the end you have a piece of cloth and in between there's something like a shelter.” —Sofia Samatar, OPACITIES

(why not work for free, I guess) tense in English-written works shouldn't always be measured in grammatical terms but can be used as a way to express a character's lived reality or as a way of expressing a disrupted self
