Usually colleges ask alumni to donate money to them, but I guess in some cases it can work the other way around.

The framing of Cleves as some well-off elite organizing an online hate mob against a poor little queer creator is really dishonest & disappointing to see, given how it erases Cleves' own reality & indeed queerness to basically pit two queer women against each other, whilst dubbing critique 'a mob'

think i got this right, here is what the spurs win probability maxed out at in each game the knicks won according to ESPN's win probability: game 1: 94.1% game 2: 83.6% game 4: 99.6% game 5: 97.1%
Thrilled for all the Knicks (except the horrid James Dolan), but especially happy for KAT. He gave everything he had to the Wolves, and was so great in the community. So glad to see him get a ring.
Another great new arrival at the day job. C19 print culture is just the best.
