The movement may sound humorous, but the underlying message is no joke

Why I Support #DicksOutForHarambe
Abubele Green

I had always loved animals. For me, they were always a source of mystery and wisdom. That’s why I was devastated when I heard about the death of Harambe, the Western Lowland gorilla shot dead after a child entered his enclosure. It has been a long time since the incident, and yet I often imagine I can feel Harambe’s firm touch, caressing my bulge, beginning to unzip my fly and urging me to do what I’ve wanted to do for far too long: whip my dick out to preserve the legacy of the unjustly killed gorilla!

I'm not the only one who gets it!

That’s right. I’m part of a movement gaining traction on the net. Many know us as #DicksOutForHarambe. Our goal is to bring attention to the killing of this majestic creature. This is particularly disturbing, seeing as it would have been more proper to shoot the child for entering the enclosure and disturbing the gorilla. Many say they were fond of Harambe, but I understood him like no one else. Harambe and I would walk the streets of Cincinnati, hand in hand, becoming lost in the endless buildings and the darkness of each other’s’ eyes. Not literally, of course, because Harambe wasn’t allowed out of the enclosure – but I had many dreams about the animal, and I’m certain Harambe had dreams about me as well.


Alright, maybe that last part was a bit much! Regarding the movement itself, however: while they use humor to make their point, their claims are quite valid. Of course Harambe shouldn’t have been shot for something that was the fault of negligent parents! If making jokes on the internet is the best way to bring attention to the issue, go for it! I’ve always considered humor the best way to make your point – this movement proves how true that is! We’re finally having discussions about the value of human and animal life. We’re making Harambe’s legacy mean something!

So, while the rest of you are sitting there reading articles about Harambe on the internet, I’ll be out there with my dick out, raising awareness of real injustices like the mistreatment of animals.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
