I’m not normally a paranoid person (unless it’s govt haha), but something about this semester feels a lot less safe then the last year and half I’ve been here. I’ve never been catcalled, harassed, etc on campus before, but in these first two weeks I have been at least three times. And I’ve noticed a lot of… staring. I don’t know if it’s all the construction and sales faires bringing in weird people or what, but I’ve also even gotten some weird vibes from people I’m pretty sure are students. Idk I just don’t feel very safe right now and I’ve never been so glad I don’t live on campus.
How difficult is it to effectively use pepper spray?
There’ve been three reported sexual assaults on my uni’s campus in the past week and I’m only taking night classes this semester. I either have to walk a mile through two construction zones or wait up to 30 mins for a shuttle in order to get to the only parking lot I could afford. I’ve never used pepper spray before, campus doesn’t allow us to carry weapons for self-defense (not that I’d know what I’m doing anyway), anyone have suggestions or insight? Is pepper spray easy to screw up? Thanks!
The word “discourse” is ruined for me forever, maybe even more than the word “problematic”
Like this New Testament professor I was listening to the other day kept talking about “the discourses of Matthew” and all I could think about was like, Jesus accusing the pharisees of being messiahphobic
