OPINION: ‘InstaFeet’ violates privacy law

OPINION: ‘InstaFeet’ violates privacy law By Elis Reyes-SanchezBridge Staff InternPublished Thursday, March 17, 2022 When I scrolled through the TAMIU Student Network Facebook page, I saw a post asking if anyone knew there was a “bathroom foot pic” account on Instagram. I couldn't help myself and went to check out the page. At first, I thought it was kind of funny and thought it was a spoof page, as many pictures on the account seemed staged. Elis Reyes-Sanchez I saw a picture of bare feet, with no socks or shoes, doing what I can only assume, their business. My initial thought, “Who does that?” You have another picture of someone with just one shoe on, and another one pointing down directly at their feet. Those pictures seemed staged. However, there were many that did...

OPINION: Take action, be passionate, be involved

OPINION: Take action, be passionate, be involved By David Gomez Jr.Editor-in-ChiefPublished Wednesday, March 16, 2022 My dog sleeps in her kennel, the breeze setting is set on the tower fan and a powered on 55-inch TV casts a glow in my room late at night. It airs Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” I sit in what yoga enthusiasts call “the easy pose” while typing away at my Macbook Pro. David Gomez Jr. That is all you need to know to understand where I may go with this opinion piece. Yes, I should probably be informing the student body, or the handful of people who read my column–I’ve seen the online views and it’s sad–that they should be more involved with the University. Bourdain is eating street tacos and my mouth is watering now. Geez. I have many issues regarding t...
