nothing like a visit to the protest world for some good old fashioned grievance bundling

Back in my day, we didn't have none of these here grievance bundles. We had to gather our bundles one at a time off the forest floor.

And we were lucky if we found one-two dried-up grievances in a week.

@gaileyfrey I'm tagging you in, girl

[Storms in] Who in tarnation said we'n do BUNDLES?? when I was yohr age we were lucky if we could afford two grievances to rub together

And hell if I'd bundle em when I could just toss one in a pot with a hambone and call it a stew, dang heck it

Back in my day most of the time weren't even grievances around, we had to settle for irritations or inconveniences if we were lucky

Um, should I send this writer a definition of the word intersection.

Hard to know if it's the writer or the NYT/editors, but wow.

Kind of want to stomp all over that second graph with my privilege and power but yeah, at least they did their homework.

As someone who's been covering this for our local station as a grad student, I think this article really misses the mark, which, sigh.

Curious what you think it missed. (For me, not up to speed, it was a good summary of past events, but I'm sure there's much more.)

I think the story missed some reasons for why enrollment is down (other state schools offering way more competitive financial aid packages).

There's also a lot of budget and financial cuts from the legislature that affected the system that the story doesn't go into much.

Mostly it just reads like the protests caused Mizzou (and the UM System in general) to be in this space, which glosses over the historical

issues with race and racism in higher education in general, and at Mizzou and the system specifically. I mean, they tried, just missed it.
