These dogs have incredibly expressive faces, sometimes appearing to smile. Boston…

Noyée dans la neige – La goutte d’encre

Je me dépêche à vivre. C’est cela qu’il faut selon ce que les adultes m’ont toujours dit. Le temps file. Je ne veux rien gaspiller. Je ne peux rien gaspiller. Les secondes défilent. L’horloge rôde au-dessus de ma tête comme des nuages qui annoncent une tempête de janvier. Je me hâte à étudier. Cela est nécessaire pour bien vivre selon mes enseignants. La connaissance libère. Je ne veux guère caresser mes chaînes. Je ne peux aucunement me permettre un moment pour respirer, si je veux conserver ma liberté. Un. Je…

Photo by: Paola Lopez Velasco   Lakeside Trees Seeds, in the ground, moisture and dampness, surround, these little spheres, these little spheres, don’t hear, a sound.   Voices, around, nurture the beauty, within, these little spheres, their lives will begin.   Emerge from the earth, develop and change, know that it’s worth, absorbing the sunlight.   Is it not strange, how voices subside, when you’ve grown, reaching up, and striving, for new heights.   Seeds, in the ground, moisture and dampness, surround, these little spheres, these little spheres, don’t hear, a…

What’s The Deal with: Rick Sanchez (C-137) – Squanchiest character yet? Or needs to get more schwifty?

Now, with season three recently concluded, fans of the show have a painfully long wait ahead of them. To combat the impending Rick…

Social Science Festival – Shedding Light

Editor’s note: we were fortunate enough to have two students cover the malawi nursing panel presentation. Parts of the two articles have been put together, as they are complementary to each other.   This week, we got the opportunity to hear Alex Mota speak about her project at the Malawi Experience talk during the Social Science Festival. She was very dedicated and made us think about many things we take for granted.[1] Alex is a social science student who had tried to make the subject of menstruation less taboo.[2] She…

Potatoes, Earth and Society

  “The potato is a remarkable plant. It can grow in a wide range of climates and altitudes, it is much more productive than any other staple crop, and its tubers are so nutritious that it is possible for people to live on them alone. It has contributed to changing the course of history in numerous ways, from the rise of the Inca empire, in native Peru, to the wars in Europe of the 17th and 18th centuries and the terrible famine that occurred in Ireland in the middle of…

Orange Shirt Day: In Honor and in Memory

Government-run residential schools for indigenous children came to an end twenty years ago, in ‘96. Their legacy, however, lives on. While residential schools were terminated officially in ’96, the practice continues surreptitiously because of the realities of our economy:  for example, northern towns and villages in Ontario haven’t got the resources to run high schools, and the young teenage population has to move to Thunder Bay to continue its education. Young people are still suffering the alienation of being away from their homes and families just like they did during…
