Mariana Martinez | Taylor Swift and the white feminist department
(17 hours ago)
Look, I’m a Swiftie. “I Knew You Were Trouble” is probably one of my favorite songs ever. But lately, I have noticed a concerning tendency in the fan base to defend and praise Taylor Swift’s every move. On X (formerly known as Twitter), it’s easy to find a pile of tweets along the lines of “Taylor can do whatever she wants, she’s Taylor Swift!” I don’t think people realize how many problematic actions we’ve let slide because of this cultish loyalty.

Jane Holahan | What it means to destigmatize disability accommodations
(04/25/24 11:45pm)
As Penn’s home for academic support and disability services, the Weingarten Center works with students in all 12 schools.

They also look to Weingarten as a safe space to disclose their disabilities and discuss accommodations that level the playing field. Our work with students has a common theme: Weingarten’s mission is to destigmatize what it means to ask for academic assistance and accommodations based on a disability. As the executive director, I am keenly aware of my staff’s ongoing efforts to provide reassurance to those who utilize our services, letting them know they are not alone.

Lala Mustafa | We’re all talk, no action
(39 minutes ago)
It's comforting to imagine ourselves as heroes in the records of history, standing on the "right side" of moral battles. Many of us believe that, if given the chance, we would have marched during the Civil Rights Movement, rallied against apartheid, or fought for suffrage. Yet, in the routine of our daily lives amidst contemporary injustices, one must ponder — would we really be any different?
