Harvard Divinity School refused to publish this year’s commencement speech after one of its speakers went off-script to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
The suppression of the speech came as Harvard University received public praise for refusing to abide with demands from the Trump administration in its stated crusade against "antisemitism" at the nation’s universities.

OK, we are open to hearing that Democrats in general or members of DA in particular are not doing enough.
But while you’re at it, how about also telling us what you’ve been doing to resist #Trump and his #authoritarian #regime?
Yes, this is a subtoot 🙄
Actually, many subtoots.

Will I find weird star colors in non-typical stars?
1st photo - Zeta Herculis and Beta Draconis - high metallicity stars. North is to the left and captures the keystone asterism in Hercules in the upper right of the frame and the head of Draco in the lower left. High metallicity stars have more absorption features in their spectra compared to low metallicity stars.
To my eye, they don't exhibit weird color that is different than all the other stars in the frame.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic…
2nd photo - finder chart with these two stars circled in red.
3rd photo - Omicron Draconis is a star with emission lines in its spectrum. It's an RS Canum Venaticorum type of star and that is one of their defining characteristics. Again, it's color does not stand out as weird.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission…
4th photo - finder chart.
I plan to image other emission line stars after monsoon ends.

I reject the narrative that just because I love #bicycles and what they can do for #humanity, I must therefore be interested in bicycle racing.
There's nothing wrong with athletic competition, but it should not be the focus of the #cycling industry.
Racing doesn't sell bicycles to the people who most need cycling in their lives. It appeals only to a very small minority subset of the potential market. #BikeTooter
Contrast that with glider models that are offered today. Most of them are high-end racers that you find in the start lists of various competitions...regional, national, world level competitions.
Some examples:
alexander-schleicher.de/en/flu…
jonker-sailplanes.com/js5-rey/
dianasailplanes-scandinavia.co…
schempp-hirth.com/en/sailplane…
There are some training sailplanes, but few of them are sold:
alexander-schleicher.de/en/flu…
And all of them are quite expensive.
This was rather popular when it was built...consider it the Chevy Corsica of gliders from 60 years ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweize… It was meant to be inexpensive, simple, moderate performance. It's difficult to find that sort of glider being built these days.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has confirmed that the number of Palestinians killed in the ongoing war has reached 57,338, with an additional 135,957 injured since October 7, 2023.
In its latest report released Saturday, the Ministry noted that since "Israel" resumed its large-scale military aggression on March 18, at least 6,780 people have been killed and 23,916 injured.

I enjoyed farming, but I can’t say I made a living at it. I did some factory work in the winter to support my farming habit.
