Oberlin community

Attempt to create an Oberlin community on Bluesky. Tag this account and I'll repost it if it's on-topic. I'll turn it into a custom feed later, but it seemed easier to start this way.

Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 3mo agoThere's a case to be made that nobody has had more influence on the modern era of the television medium than James Burrows. His mastery of the half-hour comedy especially is unmatched & always will be. A master of what he did and incredibly beloved. RIP to a great 💚 people.com/james-burrow...

Moments like this letter ⬇️ make me proud to be an Obie and optimistic for the world that Obies (still) became leaders across every field @bethdesombre.bsky.social @geiru.bsky.social @obies.bsky.social
johnedwinmason@johnedwinmason.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe Oberlin kids are all right. This letter is brilliant. (And the alt text makes it perfectly readable. Thank Lori for that.)
Yay @obies.bsky.social "Oberlin is pleased by the major commitment it made to geothermal, Mr. Norman said. It is one of only 15 colleges or universities nationally that have achieved carbon neutrality and the first in Ohio."

CNBC@cnbc.com · 12mo agoBen & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield has stepped down from the ice cream maker after nearly 50 years. Greenfield dubbed the decision “painful,” but said that the Unilever had silenced the company’s ability to speak up on global issues, including the conflict in Gaza.
Hey fellow @obies.bsky.social! Did you know that Tappan Square was designed by the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, who basically invented the practice of landscape design and was responsible for Central Park and the U.S. Capitol grounds? Learning this made me extra proud to be an Obie.
It’s pretty cool having just graduated from a school where 75% of the graduating class disrupts the head of the board’s commencement speech with ten minutes of “free free palestine” chants because they refuse to divest from israel. I’m so proud of us <3 (pic from oberlin4palestine on instagram)

Adil Haque@adhaque.bsky.social · last yr.Good to see Rutgers and Georgetown supporting this effort. Lots of liberal arts colleges and Catholic universities. Ivies remain AWOL. Embarrassing.
