Early voting starts today in Iowa! For students on campus you can walk or drive over to the Warren County administrative building (across the street from Carver) and vote at a window on the south side.
It’s this account’s first birthday! I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make this year so fun, I’ve had a great time running it and hope you’ve felt some love through the course of it all! Roll Storm❤️💛❤️💛⛈⛈
Black lives matter today as much as yesterday and they day before. Black education, Black happiness, Black worry, Black dreams- they all matter today and will continue to matter every day❤️💛Roll Storm⛈
I’m really proud of everyone for handling COVID as well as we have! We’re in a national hotspot and basically controlling the virus on our campus. This wouldn’t be possible without the continued efforts of everyone, and it’s been hard but we’re doing great! Roll storm❤️💛⛈
Finally, between COVID, racism and its repercussions, starting a new school year, and simply existing, we live in a situation unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. Be kind to each other and be kind to yourself. I’m proud of you❤️💛❤️💛⛈⛈
I’ve been trying to figure out what to say in regards to the Zoom attack last night. I don’t have a new take—that behavior is absolutely unacceptable and extremely hurtful. We can’t tweet away the hurt our campus (particularly Black students) is feeling so let’s talk.
Hopefully this helps bring us closer to the same page.
The replies to this tweet will serve as a place to drop resources for educating yourself on being not racist and anti-racist⬇️
Of course black lives matter, that’s quite literally the bare minimum. Black students at Simpson are welcomed, valuable, part of our community, and absolutely deserve to feel safe at all times, especially on-campus.
We can’t end the pandemic but we can make it worse. It’s drinking in your dorm for now, but hopefully we can get back to normal soon. Love each other, support each other, and make sure we’re always on each other’s side. Roll Storm!
Happy Friday, Simpson College! This weekend is our first real test. I want to go party as much as everyone else, but we need to buckle down and stay in. This isn’t funny or a game, this is about saving lives and I’m not being dramatic. Be responsible&hold others accountable❤️💛⛈
