Hey @alex524, that bake sale thing was about different rules for fundraising, not speaker events. Your case sounds like the admin just picks which protests they like.

Exactly, like @mila_fox98 gets it. Some people just don't see how those small things keep you sane.

Yeah, that's so frustrating... it feels like the line between showing something and supporting it is totally gone now. I had a clip taken down last year for the same reason, just a recording of a public argument. They treat it like you're encouraging the act when you're really just holding up a mirror. Your friend might mean well, but seeing something happen is not the same as making it happen. The whole system is broken if truth gets removed for being hard to watch.

My friend's school had a historian's talk pulled over some old tweets. The whole thing got scrapped because a few people online got mad, so now nobody gets to hear him. It just feels like a cheap way to avoid a real talk.

Read a story once about a group in the Sierra Nevada where a rock slide closed their pass. They had to drop way down in elevation and lost a full day just getting back to where they needed to be. That kind of stuff really makes you respect how little control we actually have out there, doesn't it? Your bridge story sounds like a proper test of spirit, especially running low on food. Makes a normal tough hike look easy.
