RT Megha (@megha_lilly)I recently finished reading an essay from a Columbia English Major recalling her experience of studying literature in modern academia. Her experiences recall being excoriated and receiving failing grades if she ever insinuated that an author revealed positive emotion toward a patriarchal structure or if a heterosexual love was not subverted to be “secretly queer”.It’s disgusting what they do in the humanities. I never formally studied the humanities and now I know I was saved from wat ...

When will life matter. When will life matter far more than profits. When will be the right time we begin to mainstream the health and life of humanity over making gains at the expense of human life.Over 70 years ago in community crude oil was first struck in commercial quantity. This liquid black gold the people of the Niger Delta were made to believe was going to transform their lives, their livelihoods and make the Niger Delta region just like one of the most advanced cities or regions of the world 70 yea ...

I grew up on the countryside in a little small village in Finland. I was surrounded by forests and lakes. Summers were for swimming, picking berries.Winters were for sledging and for building snow castles. So, I wasn't just surrounded by nature, but it was a vital part of my childhood. It was a privileged childhood.I was also a child of the new millennia, the optimism of joining the EU, the early days of digitalization, and it felt like the world was finally healing after decades of conflict. And we felt mo ...

[music] It's a sweltering day in Queensland. I'm sitting in a small room in a juvenile detention center. The walls stretch wide, but the room closes in.There are bars on the windows that don't let in any light. Nothing sharp, nothing dangerous, nothing you could use to harm yourself or anyone else. A space designed to be safe but stripped of everything human.And in that room sits a boy, 16 years old, arms crossed, eyes fixed anywhere but mine, silent. How are you feeling today. Would you mind sharing a litt ...

Almost three years ago, I made a choice. I chose not to give into the oppression and pressure forced on me by my own government. So instead, I chose to step into a new chapter of my life.One where I could be the writer and the warrior of my own story. I could fight for what I wanted. With that being said, let me give you a little bit of information about myself so you guys get to know me.I was 16 when for the very first time I came here in the United States, especially in this college. Stepping to the class ...

Right now in the UK, the far right are being emboldened and encouraged by major political figures and the government are doing very little to address this. My name is Naomi and this is my sister Natalie and we're the founders of the organization Everyday Racism. Today we want to share with you a series of events that changed the whole trajectory of our lives and you never know it might even change yours too.It all started on a train in 2019. I stepped off that train, my body shaking, adrenaline pumping, and ...

[মিউজিক] এবার যেটা দিয়ে শুরু করতে চাই আমার গল্প বা যেটা ভাগ করে নিতে চাই সেটা হলো এরকম যে মানে আমি আসলে শিখেছি আমার জীবন থেকে যে উপদেশ ব্যাপারটা কাজ করে না অর্থাৎ আমি যতবার যা কিছু শিখেছি আমার দুঃখের কাছে শিখেছি আমার বিপদের কাছে শিখেছি আমার ক্রোধের কাছে শিখেছি এটা ঠিক যে চারপাশে অনেক রসদ আছে কিন্তু যখন কেউ এসে আমাকে বলেছে তোমাকে আজকে আমি এটা শেখাতে চাই একটু শুনে রাখো শুনেই আমার ভালো লাগেনি তো এইটা আমি জানি আবার ধরেন আমি দেখেছি যে একটা পাখি সে খুব শক্তি নিয়ে উড়ে যাচ্ছে। মুক্তির শক্তি নিয়ে আমার দেখে ভালো ল ...

[applause] Thank you. I was in a workshop with a group of children in a neighborhood that society often overlooks and we were using the universal creative language of Lego bricks to discover how they could improve their own environment, how they could make their streets more livable, especially in our increasingly hot summers. And one child was building a futuristic city with clever structures and green spaces.And I was impressed. And I said, you know, that's a fantastic design. You could be an engineer one ...
