A museum in Glasgow University Scotland. Really wonderful architecture, these staircases are amazing. Definitely makes me think of the Harry Potter films. In the movie they had the moving staircases with the portraits that talked. Just so magical.

Students at Glasgow University announced a hunger strike to protest the university's repression and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Took another trip around the town while heading to meet friends last night, and decided to take advantage of the good weather to snap some photos around the town.

It always inspires me walking the streets here, and it's got my creative juices flowing once again for sure!

As a student, here is some things I have learned

~Sometimes you’ll fall behind with classwork. THAT’S OKAY! Nobody expects you to give 100% of your effort 100% of the time!

~It’s easy to make friends, it’s hard to keep them (get their Snapchat! Message them every once in a while)

~More students actually wear hoodies and jeans opposed to designer clothes and dresses. The main thing is that you need to be comfortable!

~If you think there isn’t a support system, there is. It doesn’t matter what you need (academic help, mental health help, financial help), there’s always someone there to make sure you don’t slip through the cracks

~Your lecturers are on YOUR SIDE! Remember, they want you to pass (it looks better on their record :P). If you need help, just ask! If you don’t feel comfortable to ask, email them!

~Food is expensive! If you have the privilege of living at home, bring food with you. It’s much more affordable than eating out or eating from places near a huge student population

(many of these points are for myself to read back on but I hope I can help someone else with this experience)

Glasgow University bans its gay society

University gay societies faced being banned in the 1980s over legal problems as TV historian Tony McMahon investigates

In the early 1980s, Glasgow University’s student union closed down its Gay Society. The explanation was that as the legal age of consent for same sex relations at that time was 21 – they couldn’t have a society encouraging men or women under 21 to have relationships with their own sex. They would be breaking the law. As was common at the time, LGBT issues were boiled down to what people did in…

As someone who used to live in a town, here is what I have learned from attend a university in a city:

~On the subway, the unwritten rule is that you must wear headphones. Either that or you need to pretend to scroll on your phone (there is no signal down here so we all know your headphones are dead)

~There is a large, visible homeless population. If you’re feeling generous, the common advice is that you don’t give them money. Instead, offer them food or water. Remember though, they don’t need to say yes to this! All you can do is offer.

~Everyone asks about pronouns. Lecturers ask, teachers ask, classmates ask. Everyone.

~Everyone is queer. Genuinely, you will be surprised by the vast amount of queer people in the city. Anyone can express their gender or sexuality in whichever way they want because nobody judges

~The fashion is unreal. Gothic, alternative, kawaii, pyjamas, sporty, slutty. Anything goes. Nobody questions it too. They just appreciate the time and effort spent by the individual to make liberating looks

~There is a strong percentage of city goers who are academics. Most bookshops and cafes are full to the brim with students who are lost in books or study

~Young people rule the city. You will rarely see anyone over the age of 40. Even cafes are restaurants usually have young staff members running it.

~There are so many cultures. So many people of different backgrounds. So many cultural traditions and outfits. So many different religions and beliefs. So many different languages.

Anyway. Here’s my rare tumblr post.
