Medicare for all, women should control their own bodies, Elizabeth Warren, people shouldn’t be able to purchase assault rifles, social justice reform, AOC, climate change is real and caused by humans, Bernie Sanders … Now that all the conservatives have stopped reading this column, the rest of us can finally talk amongst ourselves. Welcome to the liberal’s survival guide to living at Notre Dame!
Expect more from thee, Notre Dame

On Aug. 13, Notre Dame took a long overdue but necessary step toward protecting LGBTQ+ students, staff and faculty. By including “gender identity” in its policies on sexual and discriminatory harassment, the University now prohibits harassment, whether verbal abuse or threatening behavior, toward members of the Notre Dame community based on a person’s gender identity. This explicit policy change will prevent hostile work and academic environments and is a clear step toward true equity on Notre Dame’s campus.
Contemplating “The Goldfinch”

My favorite book of all time is “The Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt. While I could go on about the book for ages, I’d like to focus on the painting the story centers on. “The Goldfinch” was painted in 1654 by the Dutch artist Carol Fabritius. In the same year, 32-year-old Fabritius died in a gunpowder explosion which destroyed much of Delft and killed over 100 people. The painting was thought to be in Fabritius’ workshop at the time of the explosion. Historians have identified small dents in the painting which may have been a result of flying debris from the explosion, and the lack of cracks on the canvas indicate the explosion may have occurred when the paint had not fully dried, meaning The Goldfinch may have been one of Fabritius’ final works before his death.

A lot of my friends have been asking me how I feel coming back to campus; I am in the high-risk category for coronavirus.
