This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else.

I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: https://t.co/9441Q2bjoG

"Livelihood is a silly thing to worry about when lives are being extinguished in the thousands... My language in these interviews has to be unimpeachable, beyond perfect to be able to carry the weight of what I want to say." https://t.co/Dm4qZZKZLI

This is the kind of accountability climate reporting I’m hungry for. Well done @jill_english 👏🏻

Jen Powley was a tremendous advocate, educator, and comrade. She gave her presence at so many events, and advocated for many in the community. While she is known for her legendary work on the rights of people with disabilities, she was also an amazing ally https://t.co/JuaxV6iGNN

[Veronica Simmonds @VeeSimmonds]

This woman taught me how to listen
How to write
How to see story between facts
How to care
When to fight
She was my boss
My mentor
And I was her hands
Her eyes
Her assistant
She was so funny
And she knew it
I loved her
I love her
Her memory is a blessing

Thank you Jen Powley

[Veronica Simmonds @VeeSimmonds]

@jatomic Thanks Julie 🙏🏻

Amidst the sludge of salacious & sloppy true crime pods, #TheGirlfriends manages to toggle lively storytelling w responsible reporting of the dark world of intimate partner violence & coercive control. The balance between humour/fun of the exes and the dawning horror of Bob:👌
