A “hunger strike” is taking place among a few dozen graduate students at Yale:

A group of Yale University graduate students announced Tuesday evening that they would be undertaking a hunger strike to pressure the administration into granting them better union benefits. The strike is taking place in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home.

There’s been one reported addendum to this particular “hunger strike”:

“Sacrifice” takes on strange forms sometimes.

honestly i often eat when I'm not hungry so I can appreciate their sacrifice
