Yesterday, Washington University gave an honorary degree to Phylis Shalafly; students protested.
While I respect that every one has a freedom of speech and a freedom to share their opinion, I am saddened that my alma matter saw it fit to bestow her with an honorary degree. I am, however, heartened by the number of students that got involved in the protest wore white arm bands, and silently turned away as she received her hood.

Hi Clare-unrelated to your post, on Wednesday evening we’re having a little expat meet up in Allegretto on Cerro Concepcion. There should be a few of us coming along, 6 or so confirmed with some others likely to show up as well. Have a look here:

and either leave a comment or send me an email if you fancy coming along.
