diverting from usual content to give you all an un-fun update & PSA about the state of the US atm

a lot of you know that i work in undergrad admission/recruitment communications at my state’s largest university. today in our weekly staff meeting we were told to immediately halt all emails/texts/print pieces related to Black History Month, and everything we send out promoting our annual leadership summit for prospective Black students is now on indefinite pause. the university received a letter from the federal government this week stating that anything “DEI-related” must be eradicated or funding for the school, a top tier-research institution, will be pulled. we’ve been operating under an anti-DEI executive order from our fuckass governor for the last year and fortunately last spring university leadership found loopholes to keep operating as usual—we kept the gender & equality center and the women’s health clinic & the office of diversity & inclusion running under different names & still serving students the same way, but as of today all of that is now under investigation. i can’t even publish the word “diversity” when referring to geography. student organizations and outreach programs to underserved communities in the state are under fire & i’m furious and scared for what this means for young people in my state.

i don’t like to fall into the cycle of fear mongering & i know that blind panic doesn’t do anything to help but oh my god we need to all quickly come to the understanding that nowhere is safe from these power-frenzied nutjobs in office. their policies are in our workplaces and our schools. now is the time to brainstorm ways to combat restrictive, oppressive, & racist legislation in your daily life.

example—i can’t use the word diversity in a postcard to small-town rural students about all the ways they can find belonging at the university i work at, but i can make sure that the photos i use on the card reflect students of all backgrounds—all gender expressions, all ages, all abilities, all ethnicities. i can’t be overt with my resistance without putting my job and my team at risk, but i’m in enough of a position of power where being smart about the ways i use photos and quotes can emphasize a diverse student population & a place of belonging for everyone without directly saying it. and outside of work, i will continue to donate and attend protests and run my mouth about how vehemently i disagree with these pieces of legislation & how the enemy is not my neighbor, it’s the governor and the fuckass state superintendent and the attorney general and congress and the fucking president and all his friends.

with the direction this administration is headed in, i implore you to find small ways to resist in every single facet of your daily life. i implore you to embrace your neighbor and become close with your community and protect them loudly when they need it. i’m begging us all to keep our sights set on who’s really to blame in this moment & over the next four years ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ and please for the love of god fact check everything you read & think critically about what you see online before you speak about it !!!

This winter is already fucked up for us, but the UTDR newsletter dropping today while we're all so deep in source recollections and we finally actually got snow again is... haunting. To say the least. That little hidden- missing, even- link at the bottom.

The second part here is some of Hermod's own musings on source.

We've mentioned it a few times now, but one of the biggest canon divergences for us DR era folks is that everything took place so close to my sister's birthday, so there's... Something about the Christmas season, snow angels, deaths of big sisters, and wanting to control something so important to us in the wake of their loss.

Being a 20-something with a job means having to teach your marketing director about how to do such things as use hashtags on instagram posts even though it's not your department and also you barely know how to use instagram beyond the basics+having the ability to click around to find the right options

since the new UTDR newsletter comic gave Drunk Bun canon pronouns I went to go update my few posts about her Swap MH version, but I have a small dilemma:

personally I don't think it's implying her name is Bunny given that the next profile has a line referring to her as 'the Bunny', but even so I'm not sure if I should just change her name anyway and give up my headcanon name Harebrain?

it's not a big deal for me to change but input would be appreciated nonetheless ✨
