I'm certain nobody was arrested for protesting during my time on campus 1995-2001. I know from my 80s alumni friends that there was a tent encampment protesting South African apartheid for A WHILE during their time, I'll leave it to say if there were arrests or no.
I'm so proud of these students.

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!
Sorry I didn’t reply to your text I was too busy worrying about whether a wrong response would make you hate me. Then time passed and I acquired the whole new worry of if I replied would it remind you how long I left you on read
"Witness accounts and video and photo evidence that Human Rights Watch verified indicate that the journalists were well removed from ongoing hostilities, clearly identifiable as members of the media, and had been stationary for at least 75 minutes before they were hit by two consecutive strikes."
