“Malcolm Price Laboratory School, academic programs, the university police, and even athletic programs have been under review as UNI tries to cut millions of dollars from its budget.”
Our society’s priorities are flawed. Shouldn’t athletic programs be the first to go, rather than be a surprising cut compared to academic cuts?

Fuckery of the highest accord:
The first bill of the session passed by the Oklahoma Senate was an anti-abortion statement that life begins at the moment of conception, approved by senators Wednesday after two hours of debate.
The practical effect of the bill is open to question. Its author, Sen. Brian Crain, R-Tulsa, said it’s merely a statement that Oklahoma is...
my favorite posts are long ones. does anyone else read long posts? what if they’re not about the poster’s life but rather their ideas?
kinda super sick of formal education already. i’m really grateful that i’m able to recieve it but i just really don’t like learning in this format.
Right wing: The Earth is the center of the solar system!
Left wing: The Sun is the center of the solar system!
Neutral: Views differ in respect to the position of the sun.
Saw this quote concerning politics on a forum I read, thought it was funny and, sadly, accurate. It’s part of the argument to moderation fallacy, in which ‘neutral’ parties are afraid to...

Stop and look around
I’m going to start working on a guide on how to participate in the counter culture, because there isn’t a good one, and I feel like the youth and people in general are so fed up with this society that a lot of people would participate, even if it’s just in small ways.
I hope that people will listen, just a little bit, because it isn’t that hard to change in small ways, and...

I feel like I’m pretty cynical nowadays.. Here are some pieces I’ve been working on. I know I’m finished when the energy is on point, not when it forms a beat or starts to sound a particular way. Each audio file has a certain brokenness about it, cluttered and cracked like eroded cement, yet I feel there is still a spacious beauty in each...
enigmaseeksperfection asked: Wow. It's lovely to see people here discussing Syria. I'm Syrian-American myself, I feel so helpless about it so often... :( anyways. What you wrote was lovely. I wanted you to know that. You seem mad cool. I play guitar myself & sing too. Hope to hear back from you & I followed you to keep up with your epic thoughts!

The Bombardment Has Not Ceased
I’m sitting on my futon right now listening to “I Thought About You” by Miles Davis
while 6221.6 miles away they’re dropping bombs on the city of Hims.
People are dying, I would guess, and that’s pretty sad.

a poor little vignette by me
i never write anymore. this is written confusingly, it’s the really long flow-stopping parenthetical and wandering descriptions, but i don’t really care i guess, i’m sorry

katalpaca:
I didn’t learn until I was in college about all the other cultures, and I should have learned that in the first grade. A first grader should understand that his or her culture isn’t a rational invention; that there are thousands of other cultures and they all work pretty well; that all…

all the people that keep telling everyone that they don’t care about the superbowl. you’re on tumblr - it’s kind of assumed you’re not a big sports fan. i really, really don’t care what you don’t care about. also, i’m being super meta right now. crazy.
Probably my favorite song right now.
