So every day AU sends out AU TODAY newsletters to update the campus on shit. Today’s included this:

“Say Never Again to Genocide” Rally Info Meeting. Darfur Action (a chapter of STAND: The Student Anti-Genocide Coalition) is planning a “Never Again” rally to take place this Holocaust Remembrance weekend at the Capitol, and we need your help. Come today, January 24, at 8:00 p.m. to the Clark Conference Room (the building behind the library) to get involved. Do you have activist, art, Web site, business, set up, outreach, or any other skills? We need you. Help us spread the message that we need to make genocide a thing of memory by standing up and stopping atrocities in Sudan. [insert email here] for more information.

Respectable cause. But look again.

Activist skills. Which just translates to a sense of superiority, right?

Set up skills. Doesn’t that just mean manual labor? (in that case, no I don’t have set up skills. I’m lazy).

Outreach skills. Meaning you know how to whore your cause? I don’t get it.

I don’t now. I guess he or she tacked on “skills” to a bunch of things that aren’t really skills and thought that would be OK. But it’s not. Abusing the english language like that isn’t going to help prevent genocide when it makes me want to kill the entire activist race. Fuck.

Human Being of the Week

November 14, 2007 2:36 pm

The winner is:

You. Assuming you are the dude with an afro and a purse carrying around Chomsky and Foucault On Human Nature, but not actually reading it. Seen at the Against Me! show at the 9.30 Club, Washington, DC.

Runner up: girl with green, orange, black, white and red hair. One half of which was pig-tailed, the other in a buzzcut. Maybe you should’ve gone with the purple Hitler bangs. There’s always next week!

Thanks to all contestants and congratulations!
