Student expelled from college for being a lesbian, forced to repay scholarship funds

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:15:35 -0400

Student expelled from college for being a lesbian, forced to repay scholarship funds:

gaywrites:

A conservative Christian college in Omaha expelled a student one semester before her graduation when they found out she was a lesbian — and then demanded she repay them for scholarship funds she had earned.

Grace University has refused to transfer Danielle Powell’s credits to another school unless she pays $6,300, the tuition from her spring semester in 2011, when administrators found out she was gay. Powell would have been the first in her family to earn a college degree.

Michael James, executive vice president at Grace University, justified the college’s actions to The Huffington Post, affirming that its student handbook forebade “sexually immoral behavior.” Quoting from the handbook, James stated:

“Any student involved in sexually immoral behavior, including premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual acts, is at minimum placed on University probation and may be subject to a Judiciary Hearing.”

Powell and her wife started a petition to get Grace University to drop its demands. (By the way, they’re the couple who got engaged onstage at a Macklemore concert — watch the video!) She deserves better than this. Help her out?

Ignorance at its best.

Weird Stats of the Day: Toddlers killed more Americans than terrorists did this year

Opposing Views brings some frightening (though obviously tongue-in-cheek) statistics about the future of America: more American lives have been claimed by gun fatalities involving American toddlers than terrorist attacks this year. In the past five months, a total of 11 people were killed by preschoolers with firearms compared to the four that perished in the Boston explosions — the only terrorist attack to occur this year. We can only hope the NSA will ramp up surveillance on children less than 5 years of age in order to counter this threat to national security.

fuck the war on terror.

we-are-the-luddites: Going vegan is great and all, but I hope...

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:22:50 -0400

we-are-the-luddites:

Going vegan is great and all, but I hope stories (daily instances, rather) like this one inspires people to do something physical, tangible, not simply a consumer choice. One should perhaps see veganism as the first step of many. We really must do something more than just changing our diets and then funding campaigns that encourage others to change their diets, because while we are cooking up the next “fun” vegan recipe to share with our friends so as to create an accommodating and addicting culture free from the exploitation of animals, we, in turn, maintain and even ignore the mechanics of the very culture that is propping up the crating and murdering of calves. Soy and corn products, we should remember, not only supplies the cheap feed for slaughterhouses, but these very same corporations profit directly from the existence of factory farms while they market “cruelty-free” organics to consumers. For example; Kraft, (known for their mac ‘n’ cheese and other dairy products) owns Boca Burgers, Green & Black’s brand organic dark chocolate, Ritz and Oreos. (all vegan by nature of the ingredients, except recently Green & Black’s added milk fat to the ingredient list). Burt’s Bees, who’s products themselves aren’t tested on animals, is owned by The Clorox Company (known for their bleach products) who clearly does test on animals, and are being funded to do so even by people who are trying to make an “ethical” consumer choice. I am not suggesting that people shouldn’t be vegan, as it is far healthier (it greatly reduces the risk of cancer, cholesterol and heart problems) and, I believe, is the very first baby step to achieving real footing. However, we musn’t stop there. Outreach should not simply encourage others to change their diet, but should maintain a well-thought-out critical analysis of the structures in place that perpetuate the torture and systematic death of animals. We must destroy those structures. Only then will the animals be free.

Burt’s Bees is not vegan to begin with (beeswax, honey, etc), so I’m not sure why it was included in this.

"It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people..."

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:21:08 -0400

“

It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven’t left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. Ha ha, funny. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are.

A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn’t transition well to adult life, that you’d fall right through the cracks. And look at you now. La di da, it’s happening.

Your mother, your father, your grandparents: they all look at you like you’re some prized jewel and they tell you over and over again just how lucky you are to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. “Getting old ain’t for sissies,” your father tells you wearily.

You wish they’d stop saying these things to you because all it does is fill you with guilt and panic. All it does is remind you of how much you’re not taking advantage of your youth.

You want to kiss all kinds of different people, you want to wake up in a stranger’s bed maybe once or twice just to see if it feels good to feel nothing, you want to have a group of friends that feels like a tribe, a bonafide family. You want to go from one place to the next constantly and have your weekends feel like one long epic day. You want to dance to stupid music in your stupid room and have a nice job that doesn’t get in the way of living your life too much. You want to be less scared, less anxious, and more willing. Because if you’re closed off now, you can only imagine what you’ll be like later.

Every day you vow to change some aspect of your life and every day you fail. At this point, you’re starting to question your own power as a human being. As of right now, your fears have you beat. They’re the ones that are holding your twenties hostage.

Stop thinking that everyone is having more sex than you, that everyone has more friends than you, that everyone out is having more fun than you. Not because it’s not true (it might be!) but because that kind of thinking leaves you frozen. You’ve already spent enough time feeling like you’re stuck, like you’re watching your life fall through you like a fast dissolve and you’re unable to hold on to anything.

I don’t know if you ever get better. I don’t know if a person can just wake up one day and decide to be an active participant in their life. I’d like to think so. I’d like to think that people get better each and every day but that’s not really true. People get worse and it’s their stories that end up getting forgotten because we can’t stand an unhappy ending. The sick have to get better. Our normalcy depends upon it.

You have to value yourself. You have to want great things for your life. This sort of shit doesn’t happen overnight but it can and will happen if you want it.

Do you want it bad enough? Does the fear of being filled with regret in your thirties trump your fear of living today?

We shall see.

Memento Mori by Yun-Fei Tou.

These images record the last moments of life for some dogs found in public pounds run by governmental agencies in Taiwan. These portraits are taken on the very day in which the animal depicted is about to be put down or mercifully killed. These images are but a small fraction of the total body of work in this ongoing project.
